So many terrible teams in the Premier League. Dire to watch.

To quote John Cleese, some of these players look like they've never even sat on chairs before.

 

Man United are wretched. Just in case you hadn't realised.

 

Might as well just give Liverpool the trophy

 

It's the start of October. We lost a lead like this in January/February last season. Not close to over yet.

 

Surely Ole has to go now?

 

Surely.

 

the quality of play across the league has honestly never been worse, especially at the top end. I get the most joy out of watching Liverpool, a team I really cant even stand to see win but at least they play good football.

 

all of you sound like you should be watching la liga

 

Hey, we're doing co-commentary for Barca Sevilla right now.

 

Who is we?

This is always one of my favorite fixtures. Finding a stream was difficult today, though.

 

What a goal, Luis!

Switch Suarez and de Jong and Sevilla would be probably two ahead.

 

My stream is a solid two minutes behind Twitter, but my goodness Suarez just scored on a worldie bicycle

 

How Luuk de Jong doesn't have a hat trick yet is beyond me.

 

Nelson Semedo may be a better left back than right back, which is baffling as this is an emergency cover.

 

Semedo just did them dirty on setting up that Suarez assist.

 

No pressure on Arthur at all for the second.

 

how, on a team of world class players, does it take re-inserting Messi to make them play like world class players?

 

It can happen sometimes. Playing 'wrong' side forces you to concentrate more. I remember something similar happening when Glen Johnson played left back for Liverpool.

Sevilla in self-destruct mode now. 3-0.

 

Dembele is better than Griezmann now? Because nothing makes sense. Fantastic, dirty move to murder Diego Carlos there before shooting.

 

Big goal from Higuain to put Juve 2-1 up away to Inter. Takes them back to the top of Serie A as it stands.

 

Messi just got his 37th goal against Sevilla. Classic nearpost FK over the wall.

 

Newcastle's points tally this season makes absolutely no sense. We couldn't beat Watford, Norwich or Brighton, but we've beaten Spurs and United. The shit is happening...

Also, I was in Bergamo tonight, watching some of the Inter Juve match. Was a good laugh. Very different from watching football in an English pub.

 

Mateu Lahoz may be the worst top flight ref in the world. Hilarious how he always has to be in the center of the spotlight. (Barca down to 9 in a matter of 10 seconds.)

 

Carlos Vela just broke the MLS regular season scoring record. Theoretically, Zlatan still has a chance to do the same today (needs two more/to complete his hat-trick).
