English Premier League 2023-24 Thread

Comedy officiating where I was at today, away team has someone jump in two footed on someone, fortunately with as much accuracy as you would typically see from forwards in front of goal at this level so nobody actually got hurt, all three officials miss it, book the home team's captain and sin bin him for dissent, and additionally send the manager off lol

Disasi was fantastic. Well done Chelsea.

The weight of the triple captaincy was too much

I reckon we can go until April without another win.

Goalanke TC in dgw 28 was always the play!

I have a really hard time evaluating Nicolas Jackson now, much less trying to realistically think about a ceiling. Just by sheer physicality and athleticism keeps his floor pretty low imo. Kind of reminds me of Jesus in that he does a ton besides finishing, which he is bad at.

My man, I had to watch you lot in a CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL. You better believe I’m going to get my money’s worth while we’re title contending and you’re in whatever phase of rebuild that allowing more goals than Everton is.

I had to watch you in a Champions League final too bro, you're not special.

(lol fair enough point taken)

You meant pretty high?

He doesn't remind me of Jesus very much. Outside of finishing, Jesus is a great dribbler and shields the ball well, Jackson looks like he's gonna lose the ball every time. He's very raw though and has potential.

Just realized I was robbed of a martinelli assist. Decisions against ducksauce.

step 1: take over at xmas 1 pt above the relegation zone
step 2: survive
step 3:finish 6th, ahead of spuds and arsenal
step 4: finish 7th, qualify for the diddy european cup
step 5: win the diddy european cup
step 6: 8th in Feb
step 7:

Left out sell your best player and generational talent

Step 7 coincides with not winning for 8 games and suffering out worst home defeat I. Six decades.

We have been incredibly fortunate to be in sixth place and appear to be experiencing some mean reversion.

Here’s the problem: working for Sullivan is impossible. Moyes may be the best man for that job. But there are clearly some issues with his management and when we moved to the new stadium, expectations were raised. And nobody gets to change Sullivan.

I’m on the fence with Moyes, I don’t think changing him will make much difference. But when he gets the plaudits for the good stuff, he needs to also take the criticism for some of the **** we have served up recently (shipping more than five goals in three games in the last few months).

Let's hope the DGW delivers, decided to Free hit to go all out, at this point I'd have almost 20 points more with last week's team, since I sold Solanke and Watkins for Darwin and Toney.

This year is basically the opposite of last year where west ham are much much worse than their results, where as last year they were much better than their results. West ham is conceding ~.4 npxg more per match this year than last. That's a declan rice sized hole.

Still that team does not look half as bad as its been performing lately

Do I have to leave the pub to go to the ground?

****ing hell that Holgate challenge

Holgate you ****wit

Still don't get why Chris wilder wanted Holgate he's shite

lol this is gonna be ugly

Fods just quitting with an “injury”. Smart move. He’d probably concede 5 today now.

He cannot assess players above League One level, it's that simple

Should get jailed for that.

Guess I picked the wrong week to pick a fixed train back at 6

Yeah, let's take off our only striker for a centre back and defend this 2-0 deficit
