    Re: Epl 2016/17

    Well played Southampton, big game from Karius very happy to take it back to Anfield only 1-0 down. Liverpool out of touch could've very easily been 3-0 down.

    Good to get 30 mins into Coutinho and desperately need Hendo back for the weekend. Better smarten up for United.

        I think it shows how weak La Liga is outside of the big 3. Such a boring league to watch.

        Very good player Suarez but wouldnt get thise numbers in the EPL.

          We were idiots that time we mucked around offering silly transfer fees back when Suarez wanted to come to Arsenal. We should have just got the deal done. He would have been amazing for us. He was just coming into his prime too. We'd have won Premiership titles if he'd scored those 100 goals for us.
          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

            31 from 33 games in his final year with us.

              You would've won more than just titles.

                Yes but in the EPL that is huge. In La Liga 100 from 120 is actually not that great.

                This is probably the first season in a while that players aren't getting at least a goal a game.

                  Do they have bigger goals in Spain? Goalkeeper isn't allowed to touch the ball?

                  I was reading a book about the history of football rules and strategies and up until the 1900s the goalkeeper was allowed to handle the ball anywhere in their own half but the downside was that the keeper could be charged when he did pick it up. They could even be pushed over their own goal line if they were silly enough to handle the ball close enough to the goal. So teams either got themselves huge, fat goalkeepers that literally couldn't be bundled through the goals or the keeper would watch the game sitting on the crossbar and only jump down when the ball got close to the goals.

                    When you have them three in your side and your entering a new league and when the best player didn't want you there it's pretty good in my book. Plus it's not inflated by penalties.

                          Great to see we finished it off with an equally excellent 2nd half.

                              I was listening on the radio. The commentator was so excited I couldn't understand him.

                              Anyway. It's not as good as Giroud's from a couple of weeks ago.

                                I thought it was better than both Giroud and Mkhitaryans
