Premier League Gameweek 24+25

Some good results at the bottom end of the table. Unexpected Norwich win, want them to do well as I like Dean Smith and Brandon Williams is there of course. Crap team in general they have though.

Watford really should be a good few points better off. Do any Watford fans here know why Cucho Hernandez never plays? Even today that weight off pass for the overlap, every time I see him he's very good on the ball.

Newcastle's biggest issue remains that bog standard midfield.

Burnley I dislike because they play crap football but given Wood hasn't been that good for them this season, they may not be much worse off as Vydra may get more game time now and I like him as an all round player. With their games in hand they could make a decent go off it. They could do with one of Ashley Barnes or Jay Rodriquez re-gening to 5 years ago though.

Was listening to Simon Jordan on Talksport. He said Burnley bought the same way we were, but they cannot generate the income we do to cover the debt. The fact they sold Wood to a club who can actually pay up front, but are sniffing round a player like Andy Carroll who they could get for nothing.

Yeah a leveraged buy out, by quelle surprise Americans. Think they took out like an £80m loan to buy the club with the annual interest on it being £10-15m. If they do get relegated the parachute payments will help for a while but they better start paying off that debt fast.

So Arsenal have ran away from the NLD and had the audacity to play a U-23 game in the same weekend? Shameless, spineless bunch.

The fault is on Richard Masters and Co. for allowing these nonsense cancellations to take place.

 

[Klopper76]

United have played very well in this opening 20 minutes.

they look like a team for a change, with and without the ball

 

[Smacky The Frog]

united look gassed already

 

[Dumbstar]

Elanga's dirty reverse revenge challenge on Konsa looks serious now.

 

[Mogget]

This has got United sucker punch next goal written all over it.

 

[Klopper76]

Here comes Coutinho.

 

[Klopper76]

2-0 Fernandes. United have struggled a bit second half but there have been some chances to counter for them. Both goals poor from a Villa perspective.

 

[Klopper76]

Coutinho!!!!

 

[Shane88]

Not even close ffs

Try again. Biggest flop in Europe.

 

[Klopper76]

Two points dropped for United. Top four looking harder and harder.

 

[FootballHQ]

Decent point.

Man. United team generally has no personality these days. No idea how to control a game whatsoever.

[Klopper76]

United have conceded more than Burnley this season.

Just caught the final result, 2-2! Who slipped?

 

[WeePat]

Hang on a minute. United drew 2-2? I checked the score in the second half, saw it was 2-0 and assumed the game was done and dusted. Some comeback by Villa.

I guess that’s as strong as it gets with no Thiago (again). It seems he is injured when we need him the most

Yes, the first club to postpone a game this season for not having enough first teamers... what a bunch of.... oh no wait...

I'd suggest you read the rules pal, U23s has nothing to do with it.

 

[One Night Only]

Not really a comeback, we basically put out the red carpet to the goal and gave them guards of honour while they scored.

 

[One Night Only]

Leeds the better team in the early stages. West Ham look like they've just been drafted in 10mins ago to play a game.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Leeds take the lead at West Ham.

 

[Deery]

Good start for Leeds

 

[MayosNoun]

West Ham look shocking. They aren’t pressing and just standing off Leeds, even in their own half.

 

[Harry190]

Matip's been better than Van Dijk this season.

 

[duffer]

Strange seeing Bate for Leeds.

 

[paulscholes18]

Leeds injury list keeps getting longer, two hamstring injuries in the first 23 minutes

They should've done an Arsenal, loaned a couple of players out and then said they don't have enough players.

 

[Deery]

Rice is going to run out of gas if he keeps this up..

 

[Deery]

cnuts!

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Bowen scores for WHU. 1-1.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

£18m plus add ons well spent I would say.

Wow! That was unexpected

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Can anyone explain why Leeds (and Everton) have had to stack the bench with kids and give debuts to reserve team players over the last few weeks but the one and only time Arsenal had to do this they had their fixture postponed?

Has the PL given up any remaining pretence of being a fair contest?

 

[Klopper76]

Better than Arsenal but it’s starting to feel like we’re not going to find a breakthrough.

I can’t pinpoint when exactly it happened, but Firmino is done as a top player.
