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

chose Luton instead of "football"

Burnley are playing really well against City and don’t deserve to be 2-0 down.

Also I’m very excited for the age of Richarlison

Who's ready?

Haaland wants to break his own record i see

Burnley back with a bang (missile thrown from the stands at a black player, aggro pitch invader, straight red card, etc). They looked pretty decent going forward at times.

Arteta being outed as a TERF really opens up a few avenues for Peter Drury..

Oh ffs, just as I stopped hating him.

ref and var still idiot cunts then

two better pen shouts for brighton since and ref has no interest

goals galore in the late game

Pat Nevin

Former Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 Live

Diaby and Watkins are linking up very well and that is why Newcastle have had to defend quite a bit.

They've had some defending to do, but they'd HAD to do defending [because of Villa's threat].

Brilliant stuff

Nevin sounds like he's pissed tbh

var a joke a very clear offside for the fourth

bit early to be breaking out the "stop stop" gif

WTF happened to Villa?

Newcastle may be unfortunately good

dunno if the Mings injury might've got in a few heads either

Ugh, yeah. What a way to start the season.

i make it a policy to celebrate injury to violent pigshit thick cunts whose usp is to attempt to injure better players

total bullshit to disallow everton goal also

I have to say I find Chelsea’s attempt to piss all over financial fair play to overspend on a million different players absolutely fascinating. There is no way Todd Boehly doesn’t play Football Manager, and play it like an 11 year old boy.

yeah, I'm not buying Vicario

fuck it actually why not:

this ref is a cunt

and jesus cmon surely club dna isnt real it cant be can it

was just coming to post that I heard deems detonate from here

ref genuinely a cunt tho cmon all must acknowledge

ive been screaming for royal off since before 1-0 but the game makes a fool of us all in time

sanchez def a fall guy but that yellow was a nonsense yes

royal, bar a v nice goal, has been comical

yeah, I'm not buying Vicario

Hes not great on the ball

fuck me that is another var call

really weird hesitation in key areas so far which im not loving across the team

vicario looks like he might make a slightly undependable third choice keeper tbh

Spurs aren't really going to go an entire season with Richarlison as their only striker are they

we signed an argentine prospect

and we should wrap up a deal for gift orban this week apparently

neither play right back

This is getting rather ridiculous now

🚨 Romeo Lavia has chosen to join Chelsea from Southampton. Liverpool were pursuing but are aware of decision. #CFC & #SaintsFC have good relations, so no issues expected on deal or personal terms. Fee likely to be around £50m + add-ons @TheAthleticFC #LFC https://t.co/EjmFknCViS

fucks sake

Lol was just talking about this - I assume FFP doesn't apply to Chelsea

who does it apply to at this point?

lol i can think of one team it does

cough

good luck tonight obvs

cough

I'm cautiously optimistic about the season at the moment which if you're not before you've played a game then things really are grim

gonna enjoy watching this while working.

"cautiously optimistic" might be a little strong but I don't think things are as bad as our pessimists are painting it

not until there's evidence, anyway

starting with, I guess, Cunha as a hypothetical number 9 is not a statement of bold intent

hope Kalajdzic stays in one piece this year

Mason Mount sounds like the name of a hipster folk band

enjoying the pace of this one

4 points not 6 but if i raged about football anymore i'd be raging about those points.

Bit of random luck, Wolves are coming to the States to play in a preseason tourney later this year and coming to Jacksonville (two hours from me)

Considering I'll not make it to the UK anytime soon, this is mega cool.

Sweet

Great luck, enjoy!

Oh man I saw we were going to the US but that's a great bit of news

fun fact (if true) Wolves and Palace started today with exactly the same number of shots and goals for the season

Olise misses a sitter luckily

I was already counting the goal in my head

Man City winning again is gonna be so depressing.

Can we convince Tottenham and West Ham to play a 10-0-0 formation against them

And there it is. Lol

oh shit he made up for that miss big time

...

Yeah this season can be over now lol.

it was over a good month ago but maybe i don't need to watch all of this match :D

horrible stupid performance

season cannot finish soon enough

Darragh what is yr honest appraisal of Ange’s first year?

Turns out it might have been more Moyes than Chelsea last week

Peter Drury: you don't get that at...Hollywood

heya ahh

honest isnt the measure tbh because it goes up and down a lot depending on the lens if you get me

start of season, fifth would have looked great, eighth looked decent, but is it really fifth? really?

newcastle, utd, chelsea have had awful seasons, thats all that is

his frankly astonishing start is being held as a stick to beat him with, but tbh its not like it was a normal new manager bounce that has faded into a stable philosophy getting embedded- we started playing like brazil 1970 _overnight_ after several years of conte/joseball. it was seriously heady stuff.

but since chelsea disaster we have fallen apart and its very very difficult not to see it as being found out because the entire team stopped looking like professionals with any sort of belief and pretty much every team started putting it up to us with very simple burnley or stoke lite tactics

and he never adapted and he never got it back working nor even close all season, he just talked about changing the mentality and next season

hes a likeable guy but a bit cunty against very fair questions like "why not practice defending set plays?" or "is it really wise to ask all your players to do stupid things all the time?" so im balancing that against his easy charm and confidence

his record tracks against a big transformation in the second season but id be amazed if a levy summer transfer window doesn't break that streak and i think our down-tools pack of neversold cunts will see him sacked in November

Gotta sell some square pegs & bring in some solid round ones but with a bit of growth from the younger 1st teamers he can match Poch peaks imho.

im comforting myself with a few things

- definite track record of exactly this type of start vs hitting big groove thereafter

- doesnt act like hes doing us a favour, speaks well, clearly a good good guy

- i mean it is actually still fifth after selling kane. 8th might have been optimistic tbh

this is peak spursy

dethrone some Man City les go

I think I’m more anxious watching this than any other game this season

Ty darragh for the ange thoughts

clicking this on....mad i forgot about it until now

man almost thought Son was gonna flick that in

that's fucked. complete breakdown

well De Bruyne's dead

so is Bentancur's chair

now Romero's dead

If Spurs can’t win, everyone and their chairs dying is a second best outcome

bizarre game rly

spurs havent looked this good for months, solid, snappy, resolute and sharp on the break

cunts

Man City keep wriggling out, but damn if Tottenham doesn't feel like they're gonna find one soon

really good spell of possession going

Hate how petrodollars buy so much certainty like this. Fuck capitalism

HOW?!

luckily there will be 10+ minutes of stoppage

just crazy how often Tottenham is winning the ball in advanced positions, I really thought that it was going to be the one that snuck through

welp

I'd like to see old Manny Cit wriggle their way out of this jam

Well, it’s been a fun season. Arsenal have really done themselves proud. I have no faith in West Ham, so on to next year it is.

Man City must be stripped of everything they have won.

also teams sponsored by emirates

let them separate into their special Superleague, then have the other teams bail and force them instead to play against live, bloodthirsty predators every week.

Wolves match will be interesting for once

Man City must be stripped of everything they have won.

Bollocks to that, they are absolutely the perfect champions for this league.

I felt very dirty hoping for a positive Man City result, you don't get a trophy for finishing fourth, the Champions League is a boring crock of shit and it's a Tuesday night, so on that basis I've contented myself with just the one pint of A Negroni

grats to villa and based on recruitment for emery and how hes used the players he has i think theyre well on the up tbh

Bollocks to that, they are absolutely the perfect champions for this league.

Lol yes, guess so

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Premier League clubs to vote on proposal to scrap VAR from next season. Resolution formally submitted by Wolves to abolish system + will be on agenda at June 6 AGM. Any rule change needs 2/3s majority (14 of 20 members) to pass @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/QXK5ZgP0Ht
