Lots of off side goals at Spurs v Villa. Villa have snuck up to 4th - my mate in the UK will be over the moon

Ange and his high line, Emery is a very smart coach. Lots of PL managers would have been studying Ange.
Be really interesting to see how he responds. He does have players out.

My word checkout the Garnacho goal. One of the greats!

Spurs in a slide.

Imagine watching the cross come in and thinking "what I'll do is jump backwards and while I'm perpendicular to the ground I'll lob it over the 'keeper's head"

I know right TD! Who tries that. If it doesn't come off (999/1000) the collective groan, team mate stares, coach wrath would be ever present.
That's why we love those that just DO at times. Amazing goal.

Big win this morning as we win 3-0 against Everton.

That goal from Garnacho was great.

In 6th now ahead of Grantyghost and jeemak Newcastle

Condolence to the family and friends of Terry Venables who passed way.

Everton missed three gimme goals, MU deserved their win.

Everton will probably still stay up but yep tough with that points deduction. They haven't been the worst side but still not playing the best either.

Sad to hear the news that El-tel passed away yesterday. A legend at a number of clubs including QPR. He also nearly got Australia into the 1998 World Cup. RIP

El Tel changed the perception of and the attitude to soccer in this country. Even though we missed out on qualifying for the 1998 FIFA World Cup the journey made a huge difference. We wouldn't have qualified for 2006 if it weren't for the 1998 campaign.

He really did, a bit like Wallace did with us and I feel like Farina's were our cheap as chips years.

Oh god the Farina years. Did you have to remind of them?

I can even remember him first coming into the Socceroos team. They all raved about how quick he was, and to be fair to him he was very fast. Nobody could catch him. He never seemed to take the ball with him though.

How good is Saka. Nice win, could easily have been 4/1 with two posters.

Newcastle win after a tight game.

Well, it wasn't really tight Manure were just that. Newcastle no bench at all, same 11 players have played 200 mins in 5 days in Paris and Newcastle and come away with a draw (robbed) and a win. Insane performance.
Saka is a gun, so many young talented English players atm.

That first goal was a beauty

Re: English Premier League 2023/2024 Season Thread

I fell back asleep in the second half, but after our goal.

We were all over them in the first and if a bit sharper could have had a couple on the board. As GG has said, fantastic effort from the players under duress.

Might watch the mini of the Arsenal game.
