Hello and welcome to the continuation of popular long-running serial the EPL thread, where four posters were probated last month alone. More on that later. Feel free to use this thread to attack Manchester United out of obscure motives of envy and dislike. To talk about how you saw Chelsea’s collapse coming a mile off even when you didn’t. To just generally be really objectionable, pigheaded and unpleasant the whole time. Or you could be gracious in victory and philosophical in defeat? Just an idea. (modedit: thank you breath ray, lets try it out http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3749665&pagenumber=1#post452232300) Here’s the table: |`````| Remember if you post one word / emoji responses you could be probated, possibly for a day or more. Don't miss out on this limited time offer! ok here's the real table No movement 1 Man City 11 17 25 No movement 2 Arsenal 11 13 25 No movement 3 Leicester 11 4 22 No movement 4 Man Utd 11 7 21 No movement 5 West Ham 11 7 20 No movement 6 Tottenham 10 8 17 No movement 7 Southampton 11 5 17 No movement 8 Liverpool 11 0 17 No movement 9 Everton 11 4 16 No movement 10 Crystal Palace 11 1 16 No movement 11 Watford 11 0 16 No movement 12 West Brom 11 -4 14 No movement 13 Swansea 11 -3 13 No movement 14 Stoke 11 -3 13 No movement 15 Chelsea 11 -6 11 No movement 16 Norwich 11 -8 9 No movement 17 Bournemouth 11 -12 8 No movement 18 Newcastle 11 -10 7 No movement 19 Sunderland 11 -12 6 No movement 20 Aston Villa 10 -8 4 Remi Garde in.

Der Shovel posted:Something other than "it's a process" over and over again. He's been managing United for 18 months now and it's not like he's tinkering with the lineup every week. He's largely set on the system, formation and lineup he prefers with substitutions happening like clockwork. And it's not like the team is constantly playing better, either. All the evidence we can see points at this being the way he wants United to play. Ok but can you be specific about what he should have said? Take your time and really think about it.

I reckon IF there's a splitter, its one of the Balkan players; sectarian conflict is their byword. Begovic has been great in goal but Matic seems to have 'lost it' psychologically and has been poor both disciplinarily and football wise. He was also thrown under the bus by mourinho, but don't worry - it was parked at the time !

I just said that 13 step!! Lurk more. Man U and the process...last season Wednesday went down 8-0 to man city in the cup, I forget which, and it really knocked us for six - literally! (We didn't win a game for 6 weeks after.) But we did secure a long series of goalless draws. So I think that's a natural reaction to a heavy beating like the one arsenal inflicted on the red devils. I don't think it makes sense to expect a crescendo of performances in any aspect of life. And a few backward passes are OK IMO if it keeps possession. We all saw what happened with Liverpool when they scored goals for fun - they also conceded a lot and finished second.

Blue Star Error posted:Sherwood performed that miracle and look what happened to him. Going to a poisoned chalice club is a dumb move when he could have dicked around at rich French clubs for a few years and then waltzed into the Arsenal job like a French Moyes. Hmmm disagree, gathering some prem XP to distinguish himself from the other fancy dans overseas is useful - just look at houllier and ranieri

Blue Star Error posted:But Houllier and Ranieri performed in foreign lands and then got given a big club as their first English job? Thats what I reckon Garde should have done. Houllier wouldn't have got the Liverpool job he'd done what he did at Villa first. You have to think the arsenal post will be the most contested in the prem. You just need CL football which you can get by outspending the others. And you get to live in London but not work for Roman. So I think arsenal would want someone who can provide continuity and arrive with an idea of how teams play in the prem. Well cya

i think there are some persistent offenders who could try to write at least one post about their own team for every three they write about united. i dont even know what the barb about andy cole is. it looks to be the work of someone suffused with bitterness and a very small brain to me

Surely Newcastle have to go down, which is what we all want. McLaren is the worst manager in the league and the owners a moron. The players are quite good however. Janmaat, Ayoze...those are the main ones.

Brighterday posted:I'm soo hyped for the derby, gonna start drinking now till kick off. As someone form the poor side of North London, let me tell you that I hate Arsenal more than the combined hatred from my parents, my teachers, the police, my government and every other middle class wanker from London. Harry Kane is bigger than Jesus. welcome, and mind the trolls. its certainly the pick of the matches, and as someone who spent 18 months living on the high road, I hope the tots can pull it off, with the help of a couple of eriksen fks. but I think the gunners firepower will be too much. 2-1 to the arse

I'd be more worried about Martial if Wayne hadnt found his shooting boots recently, but he has so I'm not. With Mata in the side we are all but guaranteed 2+ goals a game.
