Topic: Premier League Fixtures 11th - 14th August

[Flaccido Dongingo]

Oh it's back. Yawn.

It's the most exciting league in the world©™

[whtwht]

Not watching anyone but us.I'll be watching rugby World Cup friendlies instead

[The G in Gerrard]

Crap game to start the season with then?

[Crosby Nick]

Crap game to start the season with then?

Always felt like a formality and seems like it was. My son was watching it on his iPad and retired to show me the goals and I could t even be arsed with that. Not many games I want to watch if we’re not playing. A City stroll definitely wasn’t one of them.

[Barneylfc∗]

There can't be many head to head records as bad as Burnley v Abu Dhabi.
Since Ped took over in 2016 they've met 17 times
16 Abu Dhabi wins and a draw
Aggregate scores 55-5
7 games in a row all won to nil

A pointless fixture if ever there was one. Just a complete waste of everyone's time.

[Oskar]

Rio Ferdinand offering his esteemed wisdom on Saudi Arabia on TNT, asking why people like Gerrard, Beckham and Messi haven't had similar criticism for going to the US as those who have gone to Saudi.

New channel, same terrible pundits.

That's a disgraceful record, bet the Burnley players don't give a fuck though. Surprised we had posters on here watching it, not for the hope of a shock result result I take it!

[rafathegaffa83]

Kick-off delayed 30 mins due to turnstile issues

[KissThisGuy]

Kick-off delayed 30 mins due to turnstile issues

We had similar issues when they introduced the NFC system

[gerrardisgod]

Thirty minutes looks optimistic looking at those crowds.

[TALBERT]

Rio can’t get any 5G

Fucking dressed like LL COOL J the bellend

The part of the Emirates that looks like Highbury looks tacky as

[Barneylfc∗]

Will the coverage cut out at 3pm due to the blackout?

[Elzar]

Will the coverage cut out at 3pm due to the blackout?

Was about to ask that. Extra added time will take it over 3pm, they’re gonna have to cut it off before the game finishes

[Barneylfc∗]

Forest player through on goal in the 109th minute to snatch a 2-1 win. Just as he gets to the edge of the box to shoot the pictures go back to the studio 

[lamonti]

blackout is between 2:45 and 5:15pm also.

What an absolute pleb.

[Tonyh8su]

We had similar issues when they introduced the NFC system

Fucking hate it as well. Gimme back my card.

[Caligula?]

Yawn, 100+ minutes of Arsenal having 90% possession. Have Forest actually made more than one signing this summer? I only made out Matt Turner as a new addition.

[Oskar]

Has to do better with that, great chance for Forest.

[DelTrotter]

Saliba is very dodgy. Johnson is really poor.

[Gazza-LFC]

What a miss. You have to do better with a chance like that

[rafathegaffa83]

'Kinell got to bury that

[PeterC10]

Wow, wasn't even close to scoring. 

[Phineus]

No composure there.

[Buck Pete]

Darren Fletcher has not got any less excitable during the closed season.

Surely not..

[PeterC10]

Martinelli is a bit good.

[rafathegaffa83]

Good goal 1-0

[Oskar]

Great goal.

Saka is brilliant.

[rafathegaffa83]

Great goal from Saka 2-0

[Knight]

Wonder if this is the season Saka’s production explodes. He’s just so good. 25 goals and assists last year. 20 PL goals and 10+ assists this season?

[naYoRHa2b]

Great finish that

[Gerard00]

Great finish.

Arsenal will be up there again no doubt but they're still Arsenal and will manage to capitulate when the pressure is on at some point. Arteta is such a Pep wannabe.

[JRed]

Has Deccers done anything yet? He reminds me of Jamie Redknapp. Decent player but does like a sideways/backwards pass

[Keita Success]

Anyone got a BT stream?

[Fromola]

Great finish.

They'll be up there again in the 80s points total. It's whether City force them to get over 90 again.

[Andy82lfc]

Darren Fletcher has not got any less excitable during the closed season.

Literally had to mute it already, don’t normally mind Mcoist but the two of them are fucking try hards today.

Can’t stand how they can’t just shut the fuck up for a few seconds, have to fill every second of air even if it’s to chat absolute fucking bollocks.

Unbelievably irritating.

[bornandbRED]

Arsenal have their own Salah and Mane

[duvva 💅]

Seen it numerous times, still not sure Martinelli means that backheel as a pass to Nketieh

[Tonyh8su]

Have had the match on in the background with one eye on it since kick off, haven't heard his name mentioned once. Is he playing??
