Isn't this just an old palace kit with a different badge. Very Temu.

Wasn't that a foul on Diaz and thus a penalty? Or did the keeper get the slightest touch on the ball?

That’s a shame. I’ll be there.

This season will make it a round decade of not missing a home game.

Gutted for Danilo, 6 minutes into the season poor guy.

Impressive. Last season was my first season in probably thirty plus years where I didn't make it to a home game.

I'll be up for a match in a few weeks though, starting to feel a bit more confident now ...

Also watching the Premier League yesterday reminded me what a shit league it is to watch.

Why? Plenty of goals, a couple of red cards, controversy, to and fro, competitive games

Foden starting on the bench, not good for my FF team.

Slightest contact (or no contact) is a foul, loads of diving with no punishment, inconsistent VAR, "celebrating" goals with the niggle that 5 minutes later they can disallow them for some minor reason that you'll have no idea about until you leave the ground, ...

Jeg er en plastisk nordmann.
Continuing our fine track record* of ensuring the teams we see on holiday don't win, as KFUM ship a late goal to Tromsø.

Don't think VAR was too bad yesterday. Still, I'm very much behind getting rid of VAR altogether, it kills the game of passion too much agreed

The new 'maybe we won't bother getting involved' var seems even worse. It's so shit.

Chelsea appointing as captain not just a racist, but one who posted footage of him leading racist chants against his own team mates just (checks watch) one fucking month ago is so on brand.

is boehly going for broke with no shirt sponsor ?

They seem to have fucked it even more now. We'll stop and check the decision, agree it's wrong but not wrong enough to overturn (but sometimes we might overturn it just for a laugh).

But really the whole principle of stopping the game to just get another inconsistent opinion is bollocks.

james milner starts his 23rd season in the top flight. just needs another 19 appearances to become the all time appearance record holder

This. And refusing to tell the crowd what's going on adds to the misery.

Loved this from Vardy last night.

Came out the tunnel at half time chugging a Red Bull, scores a goal, "me one, you none" to the fans and told Spurs players to fuck off as he was subbed. Its like he was never away.

He’s the ultimate representative of the EPL.

Maybe we should buy him.

Thought for a second you had said EDL. I need to get out more.

The thing is, he can definitely back it up.

He's properly grafted to get where he is, you have to respect it really.

Joao Felix for £60M and £300k/week for 7 years?

Bargain

Nice to see the spuds bedwetting, early doors……

Do we have a Fantasy League going, so I can come bottom of that one as well as I don't have Salah or Haaland in my squad?
