Premier League 2023/24 (Part 1)

As per the other thread, the lego man(ager) doesn’t have a pubis so wouldn’t understand the whole thing.

Look at this fucking hack

We have grown accustomed to City coasting to the Premier League title.

but this season is promising to be the most competitive race for the English title in years.

Last year City were the chasing side until 34th game of the season and didnt catch up until key injuries derailed Arsenal’s run

The year before City were required to score 3 goals in the last 20 minutes of the final game of the season to squeeze out the 92nd point they needed to win.

Of this collection of titles Ogden is talking about city have been able to coast in only 2 of them. The last of those was 3 years ago.

You really shouldn’t take people who call football soccer, seriously.

So, no early game today, but a late, late game. Yet, when Liverpool plays on a Saturday, there is a likelihood that they will play the early game, and no compromise can be found.

1-0 Saka. Bad defending

2-0. Ödegaard.

No early game because teams playing in Europe this week are exempt…and the broadcasters will only pay for that slot if a big team is featured.

Thanks Rambler, I thought that might have been the reason. Just wish the PL would use similar reasoning when it comes to early games after international breaks.

Its arguably the time of highest interest - people bored of international and itching for real footie to resume

Arsenal plays quite fun football to be honest. When they are in the mood at least. I quite like watching them play. If we don’t win the league, I would not mind them winning it. Everyone but Man City really tbh. But what am I saying, we actually still have a terrifict chance this season given the table :slight_smile:

At some point, I wanted to go on a ramble questioning your sanity since you willingly spend your time reading what Mark Ogden has to say (I mean, you’re a smart fella and don’t think I didn’t notice that you know all the fancy words, why would you subject yourself to this trash?!). Then I thought you were doing it for comedic value.

I’ll never forget his and Daniel Taylor’s hatchet jobs on Liverpool-related stuff, especially during the Suarez-Evra row, and how they were tripping over themselves to extol the virtues of Ferguson and his Man United while maintaining the cover of impartiality (it had come to such a point that Taylor was asked about it in an interview and he defended himself by claiming he was a Nottingham Forest fan). That said, at least Taylor has journalistic merits unlike this hack - but I’ve stopped reading them years ago.

Jesus should be carded for that, blatant dive

He went so far out of his way to avoid trying to score just to get a penalty that is a lower percentage chance than the header he refused to try to score from. Cunt

He’s routinely awful. A total Utd Hack. He is unfortunately one of the lead correspondents on one of my preferred news sources and so I routinely see a piece that looks interesting only to see it was written by him

Anyone else four pints in and in desperate need of a wee on a train with no toilet?

Been there.

Do you have an empty can handy? Aim very, very, VERY carefully.

Divock coming on soon? :pray:

After 5 years, do you think Pickford remembers??

My goodness this is such a shit match!!

I dunno Hoosie, never really tested a dinosaur’s memory before but I’d imagine it wouldn’t be too good.

Ugh…0-1 McNeil. It was coming. Absolute wank from Forest.
