Agreed.

 

I just find it bizarre that they have spent hundreds of millions and their sqaud looks like a pro-evo squad full of ratchet names that you don't recognise.

 

Yeah, they're an expensively assembled shambles. I don't even think that Enzo is anywhere near as good as Mac Allister or Caicedo. Similar to ourselves, they've shipped out more or less their whole midfield but they've lost several in defence and attack too.

But they've also downgraded the 'keeper by keeping Kepa as #1, lost experienced defenders and hollowed out the midfied and attack.

 

It's bizarre and I really can't see where the money has been spent.

 

Keeper - Shite

 

Defence - Fullbacks solid, central defecnce patchy as shit.

 

Midfield - Who are these people?

 

Attack - Sterling, Jackson and some others randoms.

 

That's a Milk Cup team on paper and they've spent the best part of half a billion once you factor in sales.

 

Wild.

Profit over domestic abuse victims 

 

keeping it classy as always

I for one think it's marvellous that the Premier league have planned a season opening game where the brilliant world's bestest ever team ever and bestest greatest manager ever in the history of football get to give a newly promoted plucky bunch of underdogs a good fucking kicking. A solid 3 points and a great start on building that goal difference. Well done premier league. Well done. Great to see that football is in safe hands.

In slightly more positive news, maybe, Bobby has scored 2 in the first 20 mins of his proper debut.

Not really. It's a joke league. Connor Coady would look like Maldini over there. In other joke league news Messi has scored 7 in 4 games.

Halaand already

[TheDrowningMan]

Game and season over at Burnley.

[Jairzinho]

AND IT'S LIVE.

[Bjornebye]

What's the fucking point? 

[polymerpunkah]

The only name I recognize on Burnley is the manager's.

 

He's probably still their best player, to boot.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Jib off the bed wetting after the reigning Champions go 1 up against a newly promoted team. 
 

It was always unlikely that Burnley would get anything tonight. 

[sir roger]

They beat them 6-zip in the cup last season so not a massive surprise

Yep. Their line up sounds like the team you got when you started a league mode game on the old Pro Evo on the PS2. 

[Jairzinho]

Not sure anyone is particularly surprised at the scoreline, just the depressing inevitability of a side not managing to see out the first fucking three minutes against them.

Boxing day 2023.  Burnley's first win.

Doing Burnley a disservice there, they managed 3 minutes and 12 seconds.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

25 minutes in and Burnley fans have already been proper cunty a few times. 

[polymerpunkah]

Burnley's best hope is to give the ball to City's back four and hope they put it into their own net.

 

 

 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

The big grock is a cheat code. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

His finishing is just nuts.
