The Premier League Thread

In November when Mitrovic scored that volley to beat us, I thought to myself;
Any other day of the season and he fluffs that chance.
Seeing him today cements that feeling. As poor as we were, they were lucky to get the 3pts against us.

 

Although we might have won 3 in a row by the time we play City.

 

And thank god he did, it helped the decision to get us Ralph

 

Wouldn't that be so funny and just perhaps,......

 

I can't decide what would be worse.

 

Quite some dive by Salah today ......embarrassing.

 

They defended that on BT saying it was his fast momentum.
Unbelievable.

 

I’d far rather Spurs win it than Liverpool. The media and pundit love in is sickening enough as it is.

 

Any additional pay outs if L'pool win it?
VvD or Mane fees.

 

Lallana, Clyne, Lovren too.

You'd assume that with at least one of them - Virgil in particular - they'd be an add-on to the basic transfer fee should Liverpool win the league.

(But then again, it was Reed negotiating on our side...)

 

19 games done (apart from some mid table kickabouts tomorrow).

Last year the 18th placed team had 16 points, now it's 12.
Burnley had 32 points, now they have 12.
Huddersfield had 22 points, now they have 10.
Man City had 55, now they have 44.
Liverpool had 35, now they have 51.
Everton had 26, now they have...27.

We were 13th and Stoke were 14th (both on 19) but clearly both ended up in the bottom 4. Which is more points than we will have this time round. But it's hard to see so many teams having such a chance of going down this year. Huddersfield and Burnley will start to get into miracle territory by the end of Jan. Hopefully we will actually be good at the football from now on. Newcastle have a 5 point cushion, and 5/6 of their games against the bottom 7 are at home (the other one is Fulham away on the last day).

I can't really see a way that this isn't Fulham v Cardiff for a 17th/18th placed race to that 31 point safety mark.

 

Arsenals high line is so dreadful. Should be losing 4-1

 

Brightons finishing is as bad as Arse defending!

 

We all know about the media biased towards Liverpool. Fed up of it - it'll be unbearable if tjey win the title.

 

Does everyone just sing our anthem now? I’ve heard about 5 different teams singing it now.

 

I'd rather Spurs win the title as then when we win it next year, Klopp will be the German Hassenhüttl

 

I still can't decide

 

Its the most stolen song after happy birthday.....

 

Anyone who’s written City off already need to give their heads a wobble. Liverpool won’t go unbeaten it’s simply not possible in the PL these days , 1 defeat and its wide open again. I still expect Liverpool to bottle it , £20 says Liverpool don’t win the league...

 

Leicester won the title a few years back, liverpool going unbeaten really wouldnt be a shock.

But i do agree with you that man city arent out of the title race just yet... that will come at about 4pm on Sunday
