[Albion] Premier League 07-09/07/20

[Weststander]

I’d love Pearson’s Watford to lose, but every cloud and all that ..... Villa dropping would be beautiful.

Although I'm watching, I'm finding it hard to give a shit.

Agreed

I didn't want to include Palace because a) reiterates they are still above us, b) the goals were flying in and didn't want to have to update it so often.

It's almost as if that's been happening all season (not the finish).

The most naive premier league team I can remember, it’s surprising they’ve got to 21 points. The Derby team who got the lowest points record were just a diabolical side, Norwich have some decent players though.

 

[Mackenzie]

Palace seem to have dragged Frank Lampards Chelsea down to their level.

Edit: Boom 1-3

Agreed. We'll never be privy to what happened with Farke and the board, but either way they screwed it up.

Decent attacking players, if they'd spent some money on a defence then they might have stood a chance. Who knows if that was all down to them not wanting to spend, him wanting to play the same way, or more likely a bit of both.

Oh another Chelsea goal, nice....

 

[LamieRobertson]

It’s official Chelsea’s defence is woeful...Benteke scores

 

[LlcoolJ]

FFS Chelsea. Even Benteke can't (always) miss from there!!

 

[LlcoolJ]

"First goal at Selhurst Park since August 2018" Benteke.

I may have got the month wrong as I was crying with laughter.

First Selhurst goal since April 2018. How much of a wage has he robbed them of since then?

It was April? [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

Right decade?

 

[Mackenzie]

Is it a blue moon tonight?

First Selhurst goal since April 2018. How much of a wage has he robbed them of since then?

With NI taken into account, it's nearly £15m. Without taking into account the write down of his contract (remember, they paid the best part of £30m for him) so that's just wages.

Conservatively, Benteke himself will have received about £7m, after tax.

Since he last scored at home.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Welbeck AND Benteke? Strange night.

 

[spence]

Delighted Watford won.

 

[Mackenzie]

Hahaha

 

[sparkie]

Teams that can't catch us time.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Lovely entertaining loss for Palace. Great game.
