*** EPL 2017-2018: Swan Ache

That god that is the last international break until March.

 

Entertaining match to start.

 

That's a yellow all day on Xhaka

 

Don’t think I remember watching arsenal play with this much heart in recent memory.

 

A sustained 10 minutes or so of Arsenal looking the better team, ever since they ping ponged their way out of their own 18 earlier.

 

Alli megged him into the yellow

 

Fuckkk, close by Eriksen.

 

And by Kane. Cech is good, good enough that his hands outside of the goalframe don't give away corners.

 

Bullshit fk

 

Pretty weak. If we want the game played that way, put everyone in straight jackets.

 

What a fucking joke

 

Natural conclusion to a gift.

 

And offside by half a torso.

 

Well offside, Dean trying way too hard to look like he doesn't have a Spurs bias.

 

That first touch by Sanchez was elite. Lacazette blasted it at him in the air.

 

Key tackle, Kane had all the room in front of him on that turn. 1-0 Arsenal. And as I type, Kane whiffs.

 

yea I didn't think there was any way he'd get a second touch.

 

Damn Tottenham gonna be blown out?

 

Not sure I have ever heard the Emirates this lively.

 

Weird how little shit Poch gets for his away record at top clubs.

 

It's against the Spurs. We're in Europa, not sure there's a bigger game for us all year.

 

You pipe down over there.

 

De Bruyne from just outside the box is dangerous

 

Put Palace v Everton on my laptop to watch while City is on TV, and I started watching at halftime and Palace has had all of the ball and are dominating play. Embarrassing for Everton, but I know now that I post this they will probably go and score.

 

Oh wow, Liverpool days Benteke shows up and completely misses a great chance way wide of the net.

 

Yedlin

 

Does anyone have reasons to why wu left?

Thread isn't near the same without his witty titles every week.

 

Pure speculation on my part but he got in some political spats on the main forum a couple months back so that may have played a part. Regardless, Wu, if you're reading this, come back.

 

my suspicion as well.

 

If Farm Market talk didn’t get him back I don’t think that will.

I’ve gone to twitter with Star Wars references, compliments about thread titles and NLD talk. Using every tool I’ve got

 

So he is alive and alright, just pissed off?

 

Yes. Though apparently congested

 

I for one promise to keep politics out of this thread so this can be his safe place.

 

De Bruyne after today has 16 goals and 34 assists in 76 Premier League appearances. That is the quickest to having a hand in 50 goals by any midfielder in Premier League history.

 

What's his work rate though?

Fucking Mourinho

 

Can confirm

 

I don't have ravennole's financial chops but 300 mil seems incredibly low

 

Thought the same thing to be honest. Must be some massive underlying debt in the stadium or something.

 

Tony Pulis was sacked today

 

Its crazy. Like west brom can do better than TP.

 

United just flopping everywhere trying to win on a penalty

 

at that being a yellow on Gibbs. Keep diving, Dele.

 

Of course United score after getting an awful corner call from the Ref

 

Rondon really looks sharp. Turned a break into passing directly to a defender that was behind him.

 

just missed a sitter as well
