Arsenal won't win the Premier League 2022-2023

Someone more qualified suggest a better name plz.

PODENCE

22/23 Wolves (and EPL) thread?

fitting xp

Dude kiss of death

fuck i know :(

Forest were absolutely dominated by Newcastle without a shot on target and the 2-0 flattered them. That's all I'm enjoy about the prem this season - them getting battered every week.

Their chairman is dodgy as fuck and has been investigated for match fixing in Greece and has probably had people done in. It was bad enough that they nicked our best two players. But then the cunt took our manager and another of our best players to his other club Olympiacos!

heh! Forest fans are moaning that Toffolo is nowhere near prem quality and was the worst player on the pitch. What do they expect for £2m worth of left-back? They saw him 3 times last season and he wasn't Ben Chilwel standard then either.

it's good to be back

innit tho

that was sub-Rangnick

need a right-back, central midfielder (ideally two) and a forward in before the next game

g'luck Erik

are United a "the likes of" club now?

even when my bunch of defectives beat them in '17 it didn't seem that much of a big deal. The difference here is Brighton are probably a much better side than them!

what has happened to Everton, dag

It's called schadenfreude and it tastes delicious

Wide open net, two shots, nothing

Wtf Neves

Bottlers

The Guedes era has begun

Leeds possibly going to have 6 points in 2 matches

Alt Nouri you idiot

SA

lol my stream is slow, thanks for making me relieved

best keeper in the Prem

45 minutes of stoppage

Meh. Really sloppy passing. Fulham obviously playing for the draw throughout and succeeded.

Lol Leeds blew their lead

just no threat from the Wolves at all

like it was obvious that Fulham were bringing in two other defenders any time an attacker came close to the box, but they'd just try to dribble through it half the time

now, will Brentford beat Man U?

the fixture list has not been kind to Manchester United and after losing at home to Brighton last week it will be a big ask for ten Hag's team to eke out a result at Brentford

probably true though, lol

Maguire will look good playing for a Championship squad

should be relegated for these kits they have on

Maguire body checks an opponent right outside the box. lmao

HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

de Gea with two awful mistakes. wtf

What a strange, distant fever dream Utd's two decades of dominance seems now

we might see a rare goalkeeper swap at halftime

lool!

holy fuck wtf

Crikey.

wow and thanks Flashscores for not sounding the goal alert noise for those last 3 goals.

oh, lol, i wasn't logged in.

The problem is that a family run club like United simply don't have the resources to compete with your Brentfords

as an american sports fan it disgusts me to see small market teams like man u get embarrassed this way, we may lack proper welfare supports in our social services, but we at least have them in our sports leagues to prevent ruthless domination by rich clubs like this

Surely ten Hag's position is untenable now he's lost the dressing room. It's time for somebody who understands the culture of Manchester United to come in and steady the ship, at the least to retain some dignity in the relegation fight. It's time for Brucey.

Jamie Redknapp getting salty with GNev "look at me when I'm talking to you!".

just watched aha

I'm not saying we're going down but

Pursue a guy for six years, then piss him off in less than one do he asks to be let go.

Wonder who he wanted to sign that they said no to.

Probably everyone

HITC Sevens (my favourite football Youtuber) did a great video on Wolves' current plight a few days ago

I've got enough blame to go round, Lopetegui has form for walking away from teams and I'm not sure how much he was outright lied to. All parties have handled this about as badly as possible

Still think we've got some really good players and the core of a good team. Survival in the Prem is gonna hinge on how quickly the new guy - I am not thrilled at the prospect of O'Neil - can get a style in place, and how lucky we are with injuries

Longer term Fosun probably need to fuck off, they've looked rudderless and inept since before they sacked Nuno tbh

oh happy fucking day

West Ham have reached an agreement to sign Manchester United defender Harry Maguire.

Maguire made just 16 Premier League appearances last season, with Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane and Victor Lindelof preferred in central defence.

Still the most expensive defender in the history of Association Football.

points-wise, psychologically

still maintain he was good and potentially great before United tbh, something went badly wrong

£30M seems a good deal for West Ham when you look at some of the prices players are going for. Wouldn't be surprised to see him flourish there.

Yeah, he could be a great signing. With Ward Prowse and Alvarez, I think they’ve done really well with the Rice money.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Bayern Munich have reached an agreement with Tottenham to sign Harry Kane, sources in Germany indicate. #FCBayern proposal worth above €100m accepted by #THFC. 30yo has been leaning towards staying but must now make a decision @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/mPjC3YPDnH

interesting move by levy given that the entire fanbase was rhapsodic about the hardball played til now and the prospect of 12 months under angeball

100m for 30yo w no pedigree of winning. game’s gone

on an expiring contract dont forget

Football Manager legend from a couple years back. Don’t actually much about him irl though.

I really like Villa and how they’ve bought, so naturally I expect something bad to happen, as I don’t trust them to just be a good team.

kane bottling the move to bayern will be hilarious if it happens.

Looks like he's off now.

Would be amusing if Bayern don't win the league this year for the first time in 12 seasons

Don't know much about the guy but he's only played 45 Premiership games, one full season.

it's mildly interesting that three out of the four most expensive PL players (once this goes through) are defensive midfielders in Fernandez, Rice and Caceido

Fernandez went for a record fee after only playing 17 games for Benfica too

Wouldn't be surprised if brighton spent a chunk of that on scott mctominay

Lollll

EXCLUSIVE: Moisés Caicedo has just informed Liverpool that he only wants to join Chelsea! 🚨🔵🇪🇨 #CFC

Caicedo has decided to keep his word and only accept Chelsea as personal terms were agreed since end of May.

Hamer to Blades is a decent signing but their squad is still basically weaker than it was last season.

Wants to play for Chelsea = dickhead.

Probably just wants to stay in London as opposed to Liverpool Cheshire.

As the season starts today, shouldn't there be a new thread?

yes. preferably with hateful statements about Nottingham Forest in the title

some good thread titles here

https://www.theguardian.com/football/ng-interactive/2023/aug/10/david-squires-on-what-to-expect-in-the-premier-league-this-season

£111m for caceido is ludicrous and lfc should be relieved he doesn't want to come. glad if it means chelsea have to fork out more than they want to get him, even funnier if it means he stays at Brighton. also we all know that this is how it works but is his agent really openly stating that they've agreed personal terms with chelsea before a bid has been accepted.

Chelsea are fucking the entire notion of value in transfer fees as if they took it personally that city, newcastle, united had taken that mantle off them for a while

at what stage is it strange that there arent backstreet football academies making millions like

how can there be so many barriers to entry to producing harrys maguire, theres plenty of beefy shit footballers around to be sold for a million less than he went for?

is it all agency closed shops?

Idk but I instantly want to start one

upfront costs for forming business relationships - i.e. mountains of coke - are prohibitive

start with piles of coke, work your way up to hills, cmon ffs think THINK

this is why i don't have an entrepreneurial mindset

^ mufc board in lacking a fucking backbone shocker

Yeah

Feels like they're desperately trying to delay a decision until someone turns up to make it for them

Just been in a pub after work watching periodic displays of the flight path of Harry Kane's plane as he flies to Munich. Stoked for the madness or what?

"I have in my hand a piece of paper..."

Man U basically making it appear as if the onus on deciding Greenwood's future will fall on a handful of players from the women's team, who will subsequently be vilified whatever the decision is. Maybe the Glazer bros could just pay him off with some of their lovely dividend money?

3 mins in and we have a Haaland goal

START A NEW THREAD
