The Official 2016/17 Premier League Thread

[Rorschach]

Trying not to get my hopes up as a lot can change in football very quickly, but right now, they look odds on favourites to go down given all their problems plus these new revelations about Ranieri.

Swansea and Hull look re-energised with new managers and have both picked up some great results recently, Palace have Fat Sam who can keep teams in the division in his sleep and Sunderland have Jermain Defoe who has the ability to keep them up almost single handedly.

Intriguing, I haven't heard about these.
Spill the beans?

It's not about Ranieri per se but there's rumours that some of the Leicester players want him out. Kasper Schmeichel was asked about it yesterday and hardly gave him a ringing endorsement.

Gotya. Lazy players place the blame on manager type thing.

More like below average players regressing to their level, suddenly discover manager wasn't a magician and they'll never see the top half of a table in their careers let alone the top of one again.

Not sure if they're trying to spread blame or desperately cling on to the belief that they're not actually as brick as they really are.

Ha teach me to go on by a text.

I can get away by saying I meant backed....

I love the holes clubs dig for themselves, "unwavering support"

lets give that a month eh

When will pundits just come out and say that Leicester were the luckiest team in history last season (with a sprinkling of Kante)? Now their luck has run out, so they are just playing to their normal level.

If Ranieri keeps them up, he's done his job.

Just read this post, and had to check the news.

Phewww. I want him to stay, until its too late...

Hull should have scored twice already, but they're doing their level best to gift the goons at the other end. Pain in Niasse.

 

[Legohamster]

Arsenal should have scored 2/3 times.

If Hull score first that place will go into meltdown

 

[mudshark]

Had to happen. Only so many times Hull could try and shoot themselves in the head and miss.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Not deliberate, but its handball and they obviously gained an advantage

 

[markysimmo]

The commentator on my stream thinks it hits Sanchez's hand, thinks haha

 

[Legohamster]

Correct call really

Hull had three chances to clear that

It's only controversial because the commentator keeps saying it

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Not deliberate, but its handball and they obviously gained an advantage

That's the problem

The rule is intent not advantage

It need to be advantage only and then you can pull up more like this

 

[paxtonwolf]

Decent chance, good save

 

[paxtonwolf]

If Hull had any sense, they would REALLY get in Walcotts face now
