think the commentators said Arsenal have lost 12 in a row.
Premier League Gameweek 8
- Thread starter Raees
- Start date
A direct comparison between two players in the same position and their performances can be made without taking into account their favorite meal, birth chart and horoscope sign. I don’t know what you’re on about.
And at no point in my post did I imply that Onana has been great or even good for us thus far.
It will be a good battle for top 4 this year.
People saying Brighton have been found out...they're currently on course to get 70 + points as we are. Newcastle and West Ham also nicely in the mix.
The three promoted teams being terrible is going to inflate loads of points tallies this season. I don't think Sheffield United or Luton will even reach 20 this season (Burnley might get around 30 points).
Who do United prefer to lose, Arsenal or City?
I hugely prefer Arsenal over City, but can imagine the rivalry at the start of the century might make this different for you lot?

City to lose, every time
Le Arse sure know how to celebrate a goal.
Can't stand seeing Lego prancing about like that, even when against Shitty.
Deserved 3 points for them though.

I don't think Brighton and you boys will be 'found out'. Just you'll both do well in europe and be fecked by it. West Ham no chance, Newcastle unlikely. Top 5 is obvious IMO, but it is just my opinion.
City are definitely weaker than last season. It's like Pep had to give himself a challenge letting Gundogan and Mahrez go.
Arsenal of course, feck them. I hate them so much.
Why is our game in a few week against city played at halve 3 on a Sunday? What happened to the halve 4 time?
I’d prefer arsenal this season just for the fact we don’t want city to be the first to win 4 in a row. They’re still irrelevant to us though. Small team.
I feel like we have this same conversation every fall. Won't believe it until April or May.
To be fair yeah you aren't going to be as potent without the best attacking midfielder in the world, but this is also what happens when the rest of the side is comprised with ball retention artists/ a brute force striker/ and CB's being played as fullbacks. It's why Doku is probably going to be vital for them.
Bernardo silva said he doesn’t think they played that bad 
Check the stats mate. You was shocking

Pep has always been willing to let someone go a year too early as opposed to be stuck with them too long, it's smart really. But now they seem to lack a bit of creative brilliance especially with him now preferring this 4 CB lineup and prioritizing ball retention around a striker that's only meant to be on the end of chances.
Overall not quite sure it'll matter, because they still will control games so well that the ball will find the back of the net through sheer persistence against most prem sides.
It's always jarring to me when foreign players speak great English and then I remember that many of them have been in the country for 5+ years so it's only natural.
Why are people confident City will go on a winning streak? They have KDB out and Haaland seems very hit and miss. Won't be easy for them this year.
Ange losing Kane and winning the Prem is going to top Leicester
I'll be very surprised if they go on their run this year. Without KDB, they've got very little creativity and they've lost a lot of experience (and goals) that you need in title races with losing Gundogan and Mahrez.
To be fair, they passed it sideways and absolutely nothing happened for 85 minutes. It was almost perfect Guardiola football.Bernardo silva said he doesn’t think they played that bad
4 chances and 1 on target is atrocious for a team of their standard but nothing will get said about it tomorrow because it’s them.
Awful game of football.
Delighted those cnuts were bet, even after Oliver did his best to appease his middle eastern pay lords.

Imagine Kane leaving Spurs and them winning the Premier League.
Is it feck. It would still be a great achievement but it’s not better than Leicester winning the PL. They just got promoted the year before they won it, that’s fairytale stuff that will probably never be beaten.
Yes, they will still win it when they get KDB back and get on a roll like last season but that starting midfield is the weakest they have put out in some time. Stones, Rodri and De Bruyne back in the team and they still steam roller the league, even with Haaland's all round game somehow getting worse.
Klopp has played the victim card so well in his conferences, it has definitely helped them get the benefit of the doubt and additionally always brings up United - even last week's call where they got screwed, he had to bring up the Onana thing first game. Some point our club needs to decide that we can also point out the inconsistency we are receiving because of all this focus on United getting their way of supposedly getting away with things. Gabriel on Hojlund was far more blantant as you pointed out than this definite penalty that Liverpool, the Romero handball that was given for Arsenal but, not us and we have the Fulham player grabbing another player by the throat yesterday but, no action taken yet VAR time in a more chaotic scene find a reason to send Case off last year.
I don’t really care but if I had to choose I’d rather Arsenal win. They don’t have 115 charges against them for cheating, City do.
That's a lot of feelings you've got bottled up there
Because they start off ‘slow’ most seasons, and most seasons folk say this City team isn’t as good as the year before, and every year after Xmas they just find a gear or 2 to go up and go on crazy winning runs. You think law of averages that I can’t happen year after year after year, let’s hope you are right and this is one of the years it doesn’t happen.
Because no one cares.
If it was us on the other hand we’d be on the back or every paper for negative reasons…
Somehow we are still revelant. We are blessed in some way.
Now I get your point.
I think it’s gone under the radar how defensive this iteration of City are. They’re an incredible football side, obviously, but with hardly any risk takers or attacks that leave them susceptible on the counter, they’re so boring, so often. Without KDB it’s even more obvious.
I completely agree. Baffling signing
What a fecking shite game that was. Almost felt as if City just wanted a draw. Very slow game.
Haaland looked very isolated too and didn’t offer much.

Liverpool drop five points in their last two games lucky for them City dropped 6 points.
Tottenham top of the after 8 games is proof if ever needed not to pay much attention to a table until at least mid way through a season.

Yep. Since last season half of their starting lineup was made of CBs and a DM. Very cautious system they have been playing for a while now. Almost zero risk taking.
I don’t know how to say it in English but Oscar Wilde said that there is a worse thing that people speak bad words about you and that is that they don’t speak about you.Now I get your point.
Sorry, I read Wilde in french when I was much younger and my translation from French to English of an English writer is sh*t.
