Great goal. Bournemouth have been very Leicester in this second half, trying to see it out. 

Yet the manager said at half time in the interview that he wanted them go for it

Empty seats and silence at the Amex… another thrilling night of premier league in store  

I switched on late, thought I was watching a game at the King Power!

 

Seriously though, it's probably another message that people have had enough of run of the mill games being played at ridiculous times in the middle of winter. Not that the Premier League will be bothered

[whoareyaaa]

We should get Henry in

[Tielemans63]

Great goal, but another drab game. The Premier League is becoming unwatchable at times. Been some dreadful live games this weekend.

It's the first time i've watched all the games from Sunday to Monday in years......and i can see why! the.Super Sunday.....Wolves  Newcastle.....that was among the worst"top flight" games i have ever seen! Villa v Everton........slightly better,but not something i'd pay to watch if i knew what was coming.Tonights Brighton v Bournemouth.......A non event really.I get that the PL is over hyped and understand that it's for a global audiance,but people around the world are going to get bored if that's whats on offer!This weeks offering i'd describe as Shitty Sunday and Mediocure Monday!

The quality of the Championship has been widely discussed on here and has indeed took a nosedive but my word what’s happened to the PL?

 

Brentford that high in the league? They’re incredibly meh and average. 
 

Villa still very high in the league but probably their worst performances of Emerys reign. 
 

Sunderland riding high but again, very average. 
 

Leeds and Forest will comfortably survive despite regressing.

Leeds are in good form and won at the weekend TBF .

 

Forest seem set up to defend now without that quality in attack as much?

 

Sunderland seem a funny case - they get results and done really well but true the stats and xG make them seem weaker .

Villa always seem to get so far but then throw in a stinker or two .

 

Obviously Liverpool and Man C have underperformed and Arsenal aren’t really having to be that good .

I think Leeds are no better than the last time they were in the PL.

Man Utd greats Scholes, Butt tell Martinez to 'grow up' as feud rumbles on

Anyone tired of any of the former united tossers? Enjoy retirement and fook off already.

 

Not saying Martinez is all that but sheesh lol.

I genuinely think VAR has been a disaster for the 'Premier League product'. It often kills the flow of a game and it's starting to dominate pre and especially post-match analysis. It's not what people watch football for.

Before VAR dominated post-match analysis, referees dominated post-match analysis.

[AjcW]

It's just the usual stale period after Festive/Early Jan madness. It was only two weeks ago we had one of the best Premier League midweeks in recent history. People have short memories  

[AjcW]

Seen a few Wilf to Man Utd rumours. All part of this 'mystery loan midfielder' saga. They were linked in the Summer.

Yes it’s much the same really unfortunately.

 

Just takes longer now and fans are left not knowing what is going on .

It’s a poor quality league this season, without a truly outstanding team and few consistently brilliant players.  How are we 7 points clear and yet our top goal scorer has a mere 5 goals is mind boggling.

Yep but this is what happens when they quite literally own the productions companies behind all the content.

And here come the vultures to pick over Palace's bones.

I suppose all the big clubs are the same though .

 

So many big names turned pundits and experts .

 

Guess we got Troy Deeney as the ex player in the media and you have Gary Lineker but most of the press probably couldn’t care less what our former payers think and in our case most probably don’t think about us !

 

Not nationally or in modern times anyway.

Jesus ****ing christ. Imagine losing Guehi, Eze, Olise and Mateta and having to live with the fact it was all traded for Eddie Nketiah and Tammy ****ing Abraham. No wonder Glasner is off.

 

That's business to rival some of our nonsense.

I honestly think those guys secretly enjoy Man U being sh*t so they have something to moan about every week. Also probably inflates their sense of self-worth for their glory years at the club.

 

And...Paul Scholes shouldn't be on TV period.

Neville owes a production company what make a lot of Sky programmes. (Buzz 16)

 

The increase in using fame seeking fans is this - https://www.fanalysis.com Another Neville venture alongside Michael McIntyre. 

 

Neville is shaping a lot of what Sky make.

I agree but I think Abraham has been linked with Villa, not Palace..

[Corky]

The Class of 92 have a very limited football experience. Mostly playing for one club under one man. Nicky Butt probably has the most interesting story having moved, been relegated and promoted, played for different managers.

 

There are only so many times you can say "Well, Fergie did this".

Oh christ, yeah, sorry. Read that like a moron, you're quite right.
