Luton won't win the league - Premier League 2023/24

i kinda realised you was after i'd typed it but i couldn't be bothered not to send

yellow card for timewasting

Lmao we're above Newcastle after getting dismantled by them two weeks ago

They've had a bastard of a start to the season compared to us, but still

I love it when a club who wouldn't be in the prem without deeply bullshit and possibly* corrupt VAR decisions are crying about not getting a fair break at OT

* sorry I meant absolutely fucking corrupt

none of the decisions against them were remotely problematic is the actual thing

official response from the league: "Lol. Lmao."

which many felt was extremely harsh on the visitors

otm, many of the visiting fans felt it was extremely harsh on the visitors

Including results for nottingham steve cooper winning
Search only for nottingham steve cooper whining

Tommy Doyle is a nice signing for us but i can't help worrying we've got a system for ruining young prospects

i was against letting Matheus go but he's been a bit of a dick throughout tbh and it looks like we might actually spend a chunk of the money so bon chance everybody

otoh he'll be a great resource if Michael Myers ever shows up during a match

Chelsea have now reached the point where they're spending tens of millions on made-up players

regens

Gotta throw some money around I guess

it costs a lot to finish somewhere between 5th and 11th in the modern Prem, just how it is

well this escalated quickly

the dream of fielding an all-Bueno back 4 moves closer

I know it's an emergency loan and everything but it still feels like a new low?

I know it's an emergency loan and everything but it still feels like a new low?

people you were surprised to find out were still

Klopp, who has lost Jordan Henderson and Fabinho to lucrative offers from the Middle East this summer, said: “I don’t know how long it will stay like that but the next two weeks will show how much of a challenge it is because, whatever happens then, no one can react any more. That is something Uefa or Fifa should have an eye on because we all have to protect the game.

The (sponsor-branded) boot's on the other foot now! Wiping a tear away here for this appalling challenge to the authentic community-rooted English transfer market.

My heart bleeds.

Klopp is such a self-righteous dick.

Oh no won’t someone think of the children football league being given hundreds of millions for players that are past their prime

I know they aren't calzinos favourite club but happy to see origi back in the prem.
I am losing track of who plays where tho eg is lloris still at spurs? and aubamayang at Chelsea?

lloris is as at Spurs but there is speculation they may cancel his contract a year early, as they have too many non-homegrown players.

Auba went to Marseille and hasn’t scored in 4 games, continuing his anti-streak since he fell out with Arteta.

Mason Greenwood has joined Getafe on a season-long loan following 19 months of inactivity at Manchester United, with the Spanish club paying no fee and making only a minor contribution to his salary of about £75,000 a week

On loan? Srsly fuck this shit

I mean maybe this is how the mechanism of severing ties with a player works but it sure doesn't look like it to me

Might just be a deadline panic "get him out the door" thing tbf

the question is why not terminated tho

what possible purpose maintaining his registration if not angling for future first team duties

Angling for money?

Termination of contract would have been the only decent move but I can't say I expect clubs to make decent moves

no i mean i know im asking rhetorically ofc

i just think from a purely cynical PR point of view they'd be crazy to try and keep him warm and bring him back to the first team in 12 months, so i assume they just didn't get a sufficient offer

but there is probably some fault in my assumptions here

Not to defend him or Utd but it may be tricky terminating his contract considering he had the charges dropped. I could see how he wanted to kick up a fuss, I know I would if I was gonna lose SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND A WEEK* and this is a compromise.

*da fuq? I know he is supposed to be a good talent but they gave him this contract at 19??? Football is run by lunatics

maybe it's putting him in the shop window or something, but they've had soooo much time to get this all sorted

Well they said there'd be 'Sevilla' consequences for his actions

ffs wrong team, there goes the 'joke'

there's got to be a get tae fuck/Getafe joke in there somewhere

terminating a contract is easy you just have to pay him off

in terms of sacking him without doing so, id be very surprised if united couldnt just point to the reputational impact and plead a case and at least get a hearing

Clown car own go from pickford, though not really his fault

You're not allowed to do that if you've known someone since they were 7 I guess

Cameron Archer starting off v hot for Sheffield Utd

i feel like "technical area" is a misnomer for any space occupied by Sean Dyche

Pickford has made absolutely ridiculous point-blank saves tipped onto the post two games running tbf

Akanji stood in an offside position and jumps over the ball. But the goal is given.

Be shocked if Marco Silva doesn't have another yellow card over this one.

spurs making it look very simple indeed this second half

Chelsea struggling to cope with moneybags Forest

with all the players in and out, its not an ideal scenario to bring in a manager who hasnt any experience of the epl is it

they may need to strengthen the squad
