Premier League Gameweek 6

[FootballHQ]

People wonder why Man. United are "rubbish" and yet still win 20 or so games a season.

Fernandes and Rashford in the final third pretty much. Either can come up with a moment of brilliance to decide matches even if they're having off key games (which both pretty much are).

Burnley have been good but they really needed the first goal tonight. I think they'll stay up though as they've got more in final third than others down there with them.

Rasmus Heskey

His decision making has been awful. So poor.

 

[Dumbstar]

There's a CL team playing tonight. I just can't tell what colour they're wearing.

 

[WeePat]

Harsh on Burnley if they don’t come away from this with at least a point. Excellent gritty 3 points for United though.

4 straight home defeats and Newcastle away next. They need to be beating Luton away so I think if they can do that with a few goals they'll have lift off and beat the next team to come up to Turf Moor......

Europa League has turned your brain to mush.

Still more productive than any Chelsea forward though..

That has classic 1-0 Burnley win written all over it. It’s the most predictable result imaginable.

 

[SmashedHombre]

Great goal aside, it's hard to believe how bad Man Utd are. Burnley much the beter side, but a bit naive.

Why's it hard to believe a team with 6/7 first teamers out aren't playing great? I doubt there are many teams who could perform with such a hodge-podge eleven. All players available and only 3 of those outfielders start. Half the eleven out there are backups of backups.

 

[Hester_manc]

Casemiro was sent off for this.

Look at their post history. Arsenal troll.

 

[Nickosaur]

Why is the NLD not the early kick off today? Why alongside three other fixtures at 1400?

 

[DJ_21]

Going for 4 home wins today and then Newcastle.

 

[100]

Villa, Brighton and Liverpool/West Ham probably all rescheduled due to playing on Thursday

 

[DJ_21]

Casemiro was sent off for this.

Rodri got sent off or was that for a different incident? I didn’t see any of there game

 

[Offside]

Reckon Chelsea will actually win today. Need Liverpool to stop with the jammy comeback wins but no faith in West Ham - they’ll win too.

 

[Catt]

Why in the world is SU - Newcastle the evening kick-off?!

 

[2 man midfield]

Casemiro was sent off for this.

Of course this absolute helmet contradicts himself

 

[PoTMS]

Why in the world is SU - Newcastle the evening kick-off?!

Sky are contractually obliged to show them every week.

 

[Berbasbullet]

Sky are contractually obliged to show them every week.

It's bizarre, why are they suddenly the media darlings? It feels like there's something going on there.

 

[horsechoker]

Why in the world is SU - Newcastle the evening kick-off?!

I think that

• Newcastle games must get decent ratings
• Sky are trying to push a big 7 narrative
• They need to fulfill their quota of showing smaller teams like Su so they do it early on and thrn focus on the important games later in the season
• Saudi influence?
• Whoever decides the scheduling supports Newcastle

Hehe, perhaps

It's just annoying when we have decent games earlier

All of this

 

[rajds89]

I’d fecking love it if spurs beat Arsenal today.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

To me it should be the later k.o. and the Newcastle game the earlier one. Surely NLD is the biggest game of the day.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

All of this

Yet I will not bother watching the later game. I will find something else to watch.

 

[Idxomer]

Has Arteta already given up on Havertz?

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Has anybody posted the teams for the 2.00 o'clock kick offs?

 

[Catt]

Same

Norwegian football and the battle of north against south for the league title

 

[IrishRedDevil]

Shit scheduling as usual.

Would have been good to watch Liverpool v West Ham and Chelsea v Villa.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Would have been good to watch Liverpool v West Ham and Chelsea v Villa.

As I said earlier, having Sheff United v. Newcastle as the main game is bonkers. The North London Derby should be the top game.

 

[Zora]

Would have been good to watch Liverpool v West Ham and Chelsea v Villa.

Why do you lot spend your Sundays wanting to watch Liverpool spank West Ham and then get really angry about it?

Weird behaviour that.

[Zora]

Arsenal are gonna destroy Spurs. I still don’t rate this Spurs side or the manager. They’ve played no one of note yet, I include a terrible Utd side in that.

It honestly wouldn’t surprise me to see Spurs hover around 6th come Xmas. People always shoot their load too early when it comes to the start of the footy season.

Thing is with our game against Spurs there were decisions that should have gone in our favour that could have changed the result.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

What result do we want in NLD. Lots of red cards?

 

[2 man midfield]

Drury really talking this fixture up isn’t he

 

[rajds89]

Pundits and commentators alike doing their best to paint this as the game in England to watch. It was only a couple of years ago a game to settle who finishes 5/6.

 

[2 man midfield]

I’d like to see spurs win. Properly burst the arsenal bubble, plus i find it quite hard to dislike Big Ange. Arteta on the other hand…

Cards obviously! Draw perhaps
