Premier League Round Up (Sep 21-22 2018)

[tlw content]

As long as we’re winning it doesn’t really matter what anyone else does but it’s always amusing to see United struggle, just as it’s incredibly frustrating to see City continue to just roll over everyone.

 

Thank God for Wolves who managed to take two points off City before also going to Old Trafford and frustrating United too. I’ll get to that shortly, but I’ll kick things off with City and a thoroughly predictable routine thrashing off Cardiff. 

 

I have no idea what the fuck Cardiff were doing though really. I mean I know it’s tough playing City, but look at how they lined up for the first goal. The defenders were in a line deep in their own box and the midfielders were in a line about 25 yards out. City’s players just stood in between them passing the ball to eachother and eventually Aguero scored. It was obvious from that point it was going to be a long afternoon for the newly promoted side.

 

City’s second came from a corner they should never have had though. The Cardiff keeper caught a cross and was adjudged to have taken it over the line. He didn’t. If it was over the line then it was over from the initial cross. Not that it would have made any difference to the overall result, but City are so good they don’t need this kind of help so it’s fucking annoying to see.

 

Gundogan scored a brilliant third and Mahrez came off the bench to add a couple more. City were brilliant but Cardiff made it much more difficult for themselves by the mistakes they made. They were never going to get anything from the game but a lot of the damage was self inflicted. I don’t think they even had a shot and City won’t have an easier game this season, except maybe when they play Everton, (depending on how close we are to City at the time, obviously). 

 

Warnock was smiling and laughing again afterwards. He’s the most relaxed manager in the league right now, he genuinely doesn’t seem to give a fuck, and why should he? Like i said last week, he’s playing with house money this season.

 

Lee Peltier plays for Cardiff. I didn’t know that. I used to watch him at the Academy. Him and Danny Guthrie were the stand outs from that team. I really thought Guthrie would have had a much better career than he’s had though. He’s playing in Indonesia now, which seems like a waste to me as he should still be playing in the Premier League.

 

Peltier has had to come up the hard way but he’s here now so good for him. The one thing I remember most about him was he was a ferocious tackler who frequently got himself into bother in ressies games because of it. He’s playing for Neil Warnock now though, so that won’t be a problem. In fact it’s probably why he’s there.

Love the main picture , was watching the game live & the poor winger shit himself when Mitrovic grabbed him & bellowed in his face , after scoring.

 

Love your mum's line re Sarri , remember his first Chelsea press conference and said on here that he looks like he sleeps on a park bench.

[Josef Svejk]

"I mentioned last week about what a weird looking cat that Sarri is with his weird baggy t-shirts. My mum said the other day that he looks like an escaped con who stole some random clothes off a washing line."

 

Love that.

Is this complete?

Nothing on slobbering Àrryˋs dive to win the free kick before the pen. Cheating twat, Sky, of course, did everything to make it look like a foul, it was two dives to be honest. East German judge gave it 9.0 for artistic impression.

'I was slobbering like Harry Kane.'. Brilliant.

If Pogba really wants to wind Morinho up he should get the top half of the back end of the Roller cut away, fitted with a jacuzzi, and come to work with himself and a couple of blondes bubbling away.

As I recall Dave, Howe went to Burnley around 2010-2011, when he was quite the bright young thing but it looked like finances at Bournemouth would remain more limited and stop them matching his own ambitions.  

 

While he was there his Mum died fairly suddenly, which ultimately played a part in him bringing his time to an end and coming back down.  He’s since said publicly he struggled being hundreds of miles away when it happened and coming back helped with the grief.

 

Most likely he was the link which originally took Ings to Burnley from AFCB, but can’t remember that for sure.
