The official Premier League 2018/19 Thread

[SHEEDY]

Wembley pitch in some state for tonights match. Not a good advert for a premier league game being shown around the world.

[Boycey]

Yeah poor looking but not really Wembleys fault, Spurs should have been gone back to WHL long since..

As an aside, how small does an NFL pitch look 

[gawa316]

You'd think in this day and age they could do a better job at covering up the markings

[Cunny Funt]

Wembley pitch not great tonight but still a lot better than this Stamford bridge pitch that Charlton had to play on in 2003.

The City juggernaut continues to gain momentum

I don't even think they have found their stride yet this season. They will be hard to stop.

Will they concentrate on the CL though? Surely that's a big focus for them? Liverpool should keep it tight though and do better than last years attempt

Good to see Leicester City win today after the week they had.

[Boycey]

Its amazing that in a week where people are losing their shit over guys wearing/not wearing poppys that this story remains almost unreported. Imagine if it was about different clubs

It's become a thing only in the last 10/15 years, I remember Utd being one of the last teams teams to bow to the pressure and there was a hoo haa about that at the time.

There ya go it's even more recent than I thought, Liverpool were another of the 'rebels'

That article sums up all that is wrong with this. Poppy farce every year

Very Harsh.

[mrdeeds]

Not harsh. Play uninspiring football and constantly makes excuses. First manager sacked twice in one year in PL.
