GWT: English Premier League: 8/13 - 8/15/2016

[Blender]

That was a missed call, should have been a free kick from just outside the box instead of a penalty.

Last season most of their penalties came from teams scrambling to get back after a Leicester counter-attack. They caught a lot of teams stuck up field.

 

[NyQuil]

Are a lot of brand spanking new Leceister shirts going right into the bin?

 

[East Coast Bias]

City didn't sell out today's home opener. Laughable.

Welcome Pep, please bring all your family and friends.

 

[Venkman]

Vardy still hungover, didn't look good today. Mahrez not much better either.

 

[Theon]

Everyone get on the Hull City bandwagon before it takes off!

Yes and no.

Like I said, half of them were Vardy dives. Or simply ridiculous decisions.

Last minute pen vs West Ham comes to mind.
Or Vardy diving vs Arsenal away.

 

[Epictetus]

When you think the Arsenal-Liverpool game is today but it's actually tomorrow

Hahaha, so many people going to be looking so spring 2016 soon

 

[Live in the Now]

Lloris went off injured. Interesting.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Spurs not able to create anything today. All their attacks, fizzle out in the final third.

And that's in the face of an Everton back 3 (Holgate, Jagielka, and Funes-Mori). I do wonder if Everton ran themselves ragged though. Good energy, good show.

 

[Jumptheshark]

since no one else stepped up I will do the EPL VBookie again this year

 

[Power Man]

So the new EPL scoreboard finally looks like it belongs to the modern world

 

[Blender]

Will this be the year that Sunderland finally goes down? They have barely survived a few too many times lately.

 

[Savant]

Why is Man City playing Hey Jude before games?

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Wow what a start for pep

 

[Deficient Mode]

That badly misplaced pass by Caballero in the 11th minute is the reason Pep wants ter Stegen.

 

[Alex Jones]

Depends if Defoe can carry the team again.

 

[ghostnights]

Swans!

 

[Deficient Mode]

Silva is great. City with 80% possession apparently, and very well structured.

Kolarov's surprised me. I figured he'd be an option for the left spot in a back 3, with his passing radius, but he's looking so much more comfortable in the middle of that back 4 than Stones.

 

[Alex Jones]

John Stones looks really comfortable with his role back there.

John Stones looks really comfortable with his role back there.

I didn't mean that in "stones is struggling" way. Rather just expressing my surprise at how good Kolarov looked in the little bit that I watched.

Now back to the olympics!

He has had a lot more time to train with the team than Stones too.

 

[Gooch]

I don't know if it's mentioned elsewhere but can someone direct me to where on earth these premier league games are being shown on Directv? NBC has Olympics on all their channels and their spillover EPL channels appear to be showing nothing.
