Premier League Round Up (Sep 28-29 2024)


Recommended Posts

Not a bad weekend but it was close to being a great one. City dropped two points and Arsenal needed a late, late show to avoid the same fate. Everton were losing at one point too before turning it around for their first win, so this could have been one hell of a weekend. United lost too, but that almost goes without saying these days.

 

I’ll get to them in a bit. For now I’ll start with City’s trip to Newcastle. Last week I broke my own rule and watched the highlights of their game with Arsenal. I’ve done the same this week too, but only because they didn’t win. I had a feeling they would drop points and I expected them to lose. I think I wrote it in here last week, or it may have been a post on the forum.

 

I thought they were vulnerable after the Rodri injury and Newcastle is a tough place to go. City were lucky to win there last season and they needed a De Bruyne worldie to do it if I remember rightly. He wasn’t in the line up for this and neither was Foden.

 

RoboJack was playing though and he created the opening goal for Gvardiol, who took it really well. Why RoboJack I hear you ask? Because Guardiola has turned him into his little pet robot now by coaching all of the individuality out of him. As great a coach as he is, you have to wonder why would spend £100m on a player like that and then stop him from doing all the things that actually made him a £100m player.

 

No wonder Cole Palmer wanted to get away from the fucking bald weirdo. If he’d stayed there he’d be stuck out wide playing backwards passes all season. The best thing he ever did was get away from that flair draining, obsessive bore.

 

Gordon won a penalty by going around Ederson and then hitting the deck. Usually I’d be slating him, but this wasn’t as blatant as the shit he normally pulls and I don’t think he does anything wrong. You can argue he leaves his foot in to make sure there’s contact with the keeper, but why should he hurdle over him? He’s gone past Ederson who has come flying out at his feet. Any forward who doesn’t do what Gordon did there is an idiot.

 

Don’t think that this is me going all soft on him just because I found out he’s a Red and he desperately wanted to come here. That ship has probably sailed now so I’ll have no qualms calling him out when it’s justified, but as I say, I’d want my forward doing exactly what he did there. He sent Ederson the wrong way from the spot to make it 1-1 and that’s how it finished.

 

I didn’t like the little love in between Howe and Guardiola afterwards. Howe is holding the back of his head and pulling him in while whispering sweet nothings in his ear, and all I could think is that he’s sympathising with him over the cheating ways of his owners, the fucking snivelling little Saudi shill.

I will be careful what I say about Palace but they were shite and toothless...

 

Great containing job there sir, not sure what we could add to make Palace "more shit"...

 

Always one I dislike Palace away but our record there isn't too bad. Scars of the 3.3...

 

Contain Eze win the game. Mateta who was on fire last year hopefully back to being a bum again.

Not that it matters, but Rogers said after the game that Palmer stole his celebration. Both at City I believe 

 

That does matter. It ruined my joke about Villa pilfering shit from elsewhere!
