Premier League 17/18

Okay - I had more than one drink.

Anyway, I mentioned in this or the UCL thread that I think Liverpool had been hard done by refs quite often. When I saw the bias discussions elsewhere, it reminded me of this article.

Here's empirical proof, that playing for Liverpool or being foreign is bad. Seriously, whether you care about LFC or not, this is good stuff that's worth your time.

In other news, apparently you can get a goal in the PL just for breathing on the ball now.

(Full disclosure: yes, I am a Salah fanboy, but I really don’t care about this as it pertains to the boot race. It’s just a bizarre situation all the way through.)

I loved how Poch said he didn’t want to make it a big deal.

Yeah right. He threw a massive whiny fit all over the place and wouldn’t let it rest. All to take a goal from a teammate.

Kane's just an unlikeable SOB to everyone except Spurs fans. Great striker. Total (totally not self-aware) asshole.

But just like you on the Forums, he’s our asshole. So we love him just the same :kissingheart:
 
Aaaand City clinch today by dint of United losing, at home, to the worst team in the Premier League.

Congrats to Manchester City!
Really, who can complain. City always going to win, and Manure made it fun by taking an L to WBA.

Only way the weekend could have been better is if Soton didn’t totally lose their heads. What a disaster on their part.

Can I just ask, completely honestly and innocently, how does someone like Everton not just offer a boat load of money for Giroud and start him every game? He is so skillful and dominant in the box. It’s an indictment of the entirety of the league, excepting Spuds, Pool and City, that he’s a backup at Chelsea.

And here’s my smoldering hot take, just to make sure I piss off everyone who isn’t a Red:

DeBruyne or Eirikson, either one (but not both together), would be better at Liverpool, especially DeBruyne.

Could you imagine him with Gini/Milner/Hendo/Can feeding him balls and being his defensive legs while he could only worry about picking out one of three tireless runners coming in from all sorts of angles?

30 assists? 40 isn’t even out of the question, is it?

Plus, that beautiful ginger playmaker still loves us deep down. Damnit. I wish upon wish that would happen, even though there’s no shot whatsoever.


Add that to his defense of the bus incident, I’d say he’s ready to make his mark at Merseyside’s European football cathedral.

/end troll on the board but not in my heart.
