Re: The 2017-2018 EPL Discussion Thread

There's no way this is real, but apparently Riyad Mahrez is walking away? I'm sure when I wake up tomorrow we'll learn of a hacking.

In case it's real though... what?

Either a hack or the best medical cover up of all time.

The only reason I've even bothered posting it, is because of Davide Astori. While nothing has happened yet, if Mahrez himself knows that he has a heart condition, or the potential for a heart condition, it's reasonable that he would call it quits. That being said, I don't buy this for the most part, but I guess I'll have to wait to find out just how fake it really is.

A bunch journalists that were reporting it have now gone and deleted their original tweets so I'd say it's probably fake

Skysports said it was a hack.

Everyone is focused on Europa right now obviously but looking ahead to the weekend, a lot of important games to watch.


I'm bored at work right now so just looking through the list of matches.


United v Liverpool - Big for obvious reasons.
Chelsea v Palace - Should be 3pts for Chelsea but both these teams are unpredictable lately.
Bournemouth v Spurs - How will Tottenham bounce back?
Huddersfield v Swansea - Both sides at 30pts and only 3pts above relegation.
Newcastle v Southampton - Only 1pt and 2pts above relegation currently.
West Ham v Burnley - West Ham only 3pts above relegation while Burnley are 5pts behind Arsenal for 6th, which would be huge for them to finish above a top 6 side.

Remember to check your listings for the Sunday & Monday matches. We change our clocks forward this weekend and the UK do not until the end of the month.

This isn't the thread for actual discussion, but a reminder that Daylight Savings Time is stupid.

This is why Rashford should've been starting. That was very nice.

Re: The 2017-2018 EPL Discussion Thread

Agreed, Rashford seems to always step up for big games he starts. He doesn't always score but is always one with the most energy and makes something happen.

Liverpool look a little shocked early and poor on defense but with their attack, they can easily come back in this one.

Ox needs to come out. He's not linking up with anyone and is unnecessarily giving up possession with really poor passes and a lot of hesitation. I hope to see Lallana in the second half.

Always start is a stretch Prez. Rashford was pretty poop for a lot of this season not too mention Lindegard was playing well for a little while and Martial is just as capable.

I actually think Rashford is the ultimate impact sub. Against tired legs he can change a match.

And Lu is beastin' Lovren and VVD.

I can agree with the always. Grabbing Sanchez was a desperation move by Mourinho and a bit of overkill that kills the confidence of Rashford and Martial.

And as I speak, Bailly doing his best Skrtel impression.

United should have kept attacking, they let Liverpool back in this game by playing defensive. Liverpool haven't created a lot of chances but United are one more mistake away from dropping points.

United has gotten away with A LOT this game. That's like their 3rd or 4th penalty they've magically escaped.
