Premier League Thread 2019/20

Don't rate the Son goal, sorry. Like the Giggs v Arsenal goal or Henry v Spurs. They've ran a long way, but in a straight line and nobody has even bothered to try and unsettle them let alone tackle them.

 

I love a long run where a defender is turned inside out, the player does a few step overs, maybe even a nutmeg in there. This was just a straight run up the pitch, the might as well not have been a Burnley player there.

Who the **** is Eamon Dunphy? Seriously. I have no idea who he is. 

He's the Irish Chris Sutton (slightly unfair to him but he divides opinion).

Dermot Morgan (Father Ted) used to do a famous piss-take of him on Irish radio and RTE, Very funny.

Agreed, like Mahrez’s vs Man City, ran 1/3 of the distance but did a lot more with the ball.

As much as I agree the defending was poor, it was still a spectacular individual goal. Pace, power, control, composure. I don't like spurs as much anyone on here, but they have a phenomenal player in Son

Completely agree 100%, that Henry goal was one of the most overrated goals in premier league history for that reason.

Gerrymandering.  We should show everyone that we are really one of the big boys and have true ambition by tabling offers for the likes of son. No doubt the press would label it audacious.

I think its one of those spoof joke like threads people seem to start on our forum.

 

Give it time though!

Burnley defending has been woeful and they've missed their chances. 

 

Son goal was great, but why has no Burnley defender just clipped his heel and taken him out? Just kick his leg at half way and regroup.

Yep, take a booking and that goal isn't scored, 99 times out of 100 that's what happens.

What, like 3 games?  Too many?

Have to say I was amused by some of the zealots trying to give Pearson credit for yesterday's result by simply sitting there. Oh and wearing a suit too - that'll show 'em.

I hope so, but some have absolutely no sense of irony whatsoever...

Very true,  i leave it to the misses,  normally sunday afternoon while i watch the match on sky, checking she leaves no creases on my shirts of course.

It's looking like it is only going to be us that can stop Liverpool this season. They have almost been faultless this season in picking up results but imo they are not playing at the same level as they were last season. One bad result and I can see them going on a bad run, losing the momentum they have built till now. 

 

Question remains if we are going to be able to capitalise on them dropping points. 

[foxfanazer]

Will be interesting to see if Sterling comments on that racist man City fan yesterday. He's become a bit of a spokesman on racism in football so it could weaken his stance if he doesn't condemn this incident publicly 

[Raj]

Racist/monkey chanting in the last month of the 2010 decade???

Unbelievable really, especially as it's a club where a player like Sterling has rightly been so vocal.

It's amazing isn't it.

It reminds me of a game, city v Bristol Rovers abd I was in the East Stand(Bike shed).

A group of lads were giving a Rovers black player loads of abuse,not ALL racist but he was singled out 

Julian Joachim came on and scored... these same people where shouting JJ"s name and rejoicing.

Me and mate just shook our heads at them...still don't think they'd understand the irony in their actions!

I have related a story not unlike this myself on here, and that also involved JJ.

We beat them 2-0 there not so long ago.

Unsurprisingly the dickhead giving out the racist abuse in the Manc derby has been arrested. Also been named and shamed on social media, plus his employer has been made aware.

 

Criminal record, plus probably a lifetime ban from the ground and losing his job. Merry christmas you idiot
