Matchday 14 - Too boring to start a thread on time?

[SocrManiac]

I have Wolves and Arse on in the background. Can’t be bothered, though.

Wolves must be flying high on the assurance that the decisions were incorrect but weren’t “clear and obvious.” Whatever the fuck that means.

 

[the1andonly3003]

in the animal kingdom, Gunnersaurus dominates wolves!

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Brentford vs Luton - Brentford must have had 80% possession - 0 chances created. Although Luton somehow avoided an obvious handball in the box

 

[swiftaw]

Sheffield United might be one of the worst PL teams ever.

Sheffield United might be one of the worst PL teams ever.

Seems like we say this a lot every time they are up.
But Norwich a few seasons back might argue with you

I'm going out on a limb and saying Burnley have got this one in the bag.

2-0 up and McBurnie just got a second yellow for too much elbow in the face of Dara O'Shea. He's a silly man.

His first yellow was for exactly the same thing (on the same person).

This is from the BBC game day ticker:

15:49
Post update
Burnley 2-0 Sheff Utd
Dara O'Shea won't know what to do with his face now without Oli McBurnie constantly sticking an elbow into it.

 

[CodPiece XL]

Not exactly related but the Euros draw for next summer is on now.

 

[CodPiece XL]

Scotland play opening game of tournament against Germany.

 

[Kliq]

Deserved 1-0 lead for Everton, as McNeil scores. They've been all over Forest in this second half.

 

[fletcherpost]

Felipe has to be on his last foul now, surely.

 

[SocrManiac]

I don’t understand the gnashing of teeth over Onana. This is who he always has been. He’s incredibly athletic and literally nothing else. Who expected him to morph into a well-rounded and reliable keeper just because he transferred to ManU for an insane fee?

 

[SocrManiac]

Slabhead knows how to tie a knot. There’s a bet I’d have lost.

 

[OCST]

Slabhead knows how to tie a knot. There’s a bet I’d have lost.

He’s been pretty good lately, give him his due.

 

[OCST]

Deserved 1-0 lead for Everton, as McNeil scores. They've been all over Forest in this second half.

Everton would be in 11th, a point out of top half, without the -10.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Newcastle seem like they could be vulnerable on a counter, but Manchester United simply cannot relieve pressure with possession.

Newcastle look far more likely to score, but I would not be surprised for ManU to poach one on a counter against the run of play.

 

[fletcherpost]

I can see Man Utd scoring from an 85th minute counter attack and running away with all three points.

Edit: Great minds Denny.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Funny — yeah, we are seeing the same thing, Fletch.

 

[the1andonly3003]

Whoever is atop our FPL mini league was confident enough to make two GK transfers this week - looking forward to chasing you down in the final 23 GWs!

 

[speedracer]

Pulisic just pulled down a goal kick, turned away from 3 defenders and dinked the keeper, 2-0 Milan

Trippier is having a heck of a game,

 

[fletcherpost]

The scoreline flatters Man Utd.

 

[Kliq]

Trippier is having a heck of a game,

I remember some Spurs fans were happy when he was sold, yet he's gone on to play at a pretty elite level for the past five seasons.

 

[SocrManiac]

Fulham look simultaneously like they have 12 men defending in the box and are porous as hell.

 

[OCST]

Brighton’s away kit, black and green stripes, doesn’t contrast enough with Chelsea’s imo

 

[SocrManiac]

Jesus Christ, Trent.

 

[pedro1918]

TAA with the beautiful free kick strike.

 

[OCST]

That could not have been better. What a free kick.

 

[allstonite]

Trent! I thought that was going 50 feet over the bar. Unbelievable

 

[allstonite]

I think Mo wanted to take that and his reaction after was great with the “alright you made it” face

 

[SocrManiac]

I think Mo wanted to take that and his reaction after was great with the “alright you made it” face

In MO’s defense, it was a better spot for a left foot but Trent made that irrelevant.

 

[pedro1918]

That was awful.

 

[allstonite]

Yikes

 

[SocrManiac]

And there’s the Alisson effect.

 

[OCST]

Well, that was out of nowhere

 

[Kliq]

Spurs are totally taking points off City today. We are City's kryptonite team.

 

[Pesky Pole]

Is Nunez auditioning for the New Jack City sequel or Pippi Longstocking reboot?

 

[SocrManiac]

I don’t know what makes him less likable looking: the braids, facial hair, or neck tats. Maybe less fashion time and more finishing practice, Darwin.

 

[SocrManiac]

Ref raises what might be an incorrect delayed offside flag to stop an attack. This league can’t continue to function like this.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Wow

 

[67YAZ]

I turned on Chelsea-Brighton, saw it was already 2-0, and thought this one must be banging. Bug it has the flow of an American footballs match. This is garbage…except when Sanchez gets the ball. That’s a high wire act.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Gerrardian

 

[pedro1918]

Too bad you don't get extra points for pretty.

 

[Catcher Block]

Hell of an assist by Jiminez to set up MacAllister.

 

[SocrManiac]

That top corner is going to need victim’s counseling.

 

[allstonite]

Wow. He didn’t even take a touch to settle it. Just hit it on the bounce

 

[67YAZ]

This match exploded to life - a Brighton goal in lazy Chelsea defending, a near own goal, and now a Gallagher red. Schizo match.

 

[OCST]

Should count, not offside
