EPL 2017/18 Thread

I imagine you read about that move in a week old newspaper given radio and television weren’t yet invented.

Probably the Truth, you filthy communist.

Don’t you mean Direct Action, socialist newspaper, 20 cents sold at the bottom of the steps of Flinders St Station.

Truth had page 3 girls, Heart Balm and Dyer 'Ere. And some sensational headlines, as in Billy Snedden Died On The Job.

My favourite Truth headline was “Headless Body Found in Topless Bar”.

Probably the happiest player outside of Neymar with this transfer is Pogba…all the pressure of being the Worlds most expensive player has now gone and shifted across the channel.

Neymar will walk the French League, no issues there.

Ligue 1 is the A-League of Europe.

Adam Lallana out for 2-3 months. F$&@!! Now might be a good time to get some signings in. The Ox now looks far more attractive, if he is still keen on a move…

Anyone else really get a kick out of the players tribune articles?

mata’s one is phenomenal.

■■■■. Red Bull can go and get ■■■■■■. Apparently we offered 66 million and they said no even though their revenue from the previous year was only 88 million. Let us have Keita

How good is Keita actually? Is he in the same class as Salah, Mane? More of a box to box mid rather than a winger? I haven’t seen much of him play.

I think box to box but he will suit the Klopp game plan. Thing is with Henderson’s injuries and the inconsistencies of Can we need another strong mid.

Guess Milner can run through there too.

Is henderson injured? Or did you mean with his history of injuries.

I have no idea what liverpool is going to do this season. They havent spent a lot in the off season, but i get the feeling something they might give the title a legit shake this year.

Is van ■■■■ coming from southhampton, as that could bolster their defence

I get the feeling the wheels could fall of chelsea pretty quickly if they have a poor start

isn’t it djik?

Billionaire Chinese Businessman looking to purchase 8% of United shares.

Interesting…

Good start to the season for Arsenal. Chelseas penalty efforts abysmal.

Chelsea goalkeeper takes a penalty kick wtf, is Chelsea tanking or something?

I remember a few years ago Hans-Jörg Butt used the smash in penalties for Bayern as a goalie.

He had one of the better conversion ratios in Europe at the time as well.

Goalkeepers actually are usually pretty decent at taking pens.

EPL does not have any penalty shootouts, so its probably not something they practice much, except before the world cup or Champions league final, if they ever get to that…

Its finally back this weekend.

Arsenal v Leicester to kick it off tomorrow morning. Some interesting news for the Gunners, Sanchez and Ozil both unavailable due to injury. People reading a lot into that given their respective contract statuses…
