Premier League Festive Season
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Chelsea seem to be getting every single penalty decision their way this season. Wonder how long it takes for a certain whinging German to speak about it.
Chelsea fans, what do you make of the Atkinson thing? Is it all in our heads that you get him all the time and that he's very kind to you lot? I mean, I'm definitely suspecting confirmation bias on my part but what do you lot make of it? @duffer @rest of chelsea fans
Watkins has the right attributes but lacks the footballing intelligence. He reminds me of our very own Marcus Rashford.
Mings is an awful defender. Mental that he’s a guaranteed starter for Villa and in the England squad.
Villa have been crap today. So many crap touches and decisions despite a good effort. They’ll turn into prime Barca against us.
Should have finished the game there.
He is an average striker tbh.
Kovacic is nowhere near fit enough to be playing. He looks absolutely gassed already.
Penalty to Chelsea.
only a yellow card?Think that should be a red card. Don't think Konsa had any intention of playing the ball.
Lukaku
Got no control over that ball still

Villa defence
People can slate Lukaku all they want but nobody in our team is capable of that run he just made. We are all made out of cornflakes.
Would love a panenka here
Penginho.
Well at least Gerrard lost, ha ha
How is that not a straight red? Last man. No intentions of getting the ball.
Think Konsa could be a good signing for a club in the top 4 one day
Seriously?Lukaku
Got no control over that ball still
He just bulldozed his way from the half way line and won a clear penalty and you still are incapable of giving him credit. Very salty.
Did you not think it was a penalty?
Because it’s Christmas!
Personally I'd have risked Lukaku missing.
Villa defence
Good win for Chelsea, Villa were so poor though.
Not many games today but lots of goals.
Oh both penalties were stonewall. I was referring to the alonso tackle that we barely got a look at because the linesman decided it was offside.
Just seems like they’re getting penalties left right and centre when the game is in the balance. Still salty about the one we didn’t get at Stamford bridge last season
Good second half. Can see we're not league winning material yet. Lucky to get in level at half time, Mount and CHO got to score those chances... Both pens were absolutely stonewall.
If we keep squad fit now should be pushing for 2nd, City miles ahead of us in terms of consistency and quality in the final third.

As long as it is after Klopp.
very bad day overall for us - going to be quite difficult to get top 4.
No Europe for Arsenal could be the difference.

I can't post links, so google "chelsea burnley atkinson mourinho" for a reminder.
We're probably going out in the next round anyway
We're far better than Atletico and it would be a failure to get KOed by them.We're probably going out in the next round anyway
Half a season of football to play. Nothing is close to over.
We played great first half.
Lukaku coming on and Chelsea going 4-3-3 and we didn't react at all, missed Gerrard on touchline.
Are we though we’re still bamby on ice could easily get dicked byAtletico..
He is all over the place, no salt at all.
He did it for us, he just bundles his way through the pitch, very effective too. He just has no control and is so awkward
Atletico are nothing special either.
The formation didn't change. Pulisic went to wing back and Reece James RCB.
