The Premier League Thread

They could have gone via the M60 and it would have taken 10 minutes longer. Twats.

That wouldn’t have worked, they would have just driven around Manchester

There must be an alternative route?
"Manchester United decided to fly to Leicester ahead of their clash in the Premier League - a journey that took 10 minutes.
The squad flew from Manchester Airport to the East Midlands on Friday - a 100-mile trip - after the M6 was closed.
United would have usually chosen to travel by coach but a decision was made last-minute to fly following the unexpected closure of the motorway.
And the players would barely have had time to strap in their seatbelts with the flight taking just 10 minutes to reach its destination." Mirror

"Manchester United have defended their decision to fly the 100 mile journey to their Premier League game at Leicester.
United say they would not normally fly to the game but plans changed due to "circumstances". There were reports of traffic congestion on the M6." Beeb Sport.

Isn’t the train a mode of transport that exists? I’m sure it wouldn’t have been that hard for a PL club to block book a number of carriages to keep the plebs out.

Beautiful goal by Mane to open the scoring.

No new manager bounce from Watford - quite the opposite in fact.

That pass from Salah was beautiful.

Given Watford’s form of sacking managers, I am surprised they didn’t sack him at half time.

Fancy Norwich to get their first win today.

Villa 2 up at home after 68 minutes played…..now losing 3-2.

 

[Saints Fan4Life]

Let's all laugh at Villa.

Now FT.

Danny must be getting deja vu.

He actually did us a big favour going there, I don’t get the hate

I don't hate him, just Villa. Their fans were so cocky when they were after JWP.

United really should just go out and offer Conte a contract.

Was thinking this myself. Chelsea had the balls to sack a club legend to upgrade their manager. United need to do the same.

This calls for a blokeish conversation about the best route from Manchester to Leicester. Personally, I'd have gone M62, then M1. It's a longer journey, but the views are better, and the services on the M1 are pretty good.
