2017/18 Barclays Premier League Thread - General Discussion - FM24/25 Update

It was silly from Sterling but he just scored a late winner. Of course he'd be ecstatic.

Also it wasn't a free kick leading up to the goal and they played two minutes longer than they should have.

He had a terrible end to the game.

The rule needs changing as much as anything. I accept celebrations can be overdone to the point of aggravating opposition in certain contexts, particularly in derbies, but in this one, it feels wrong. Same with the shirts off rule.

Well... clearly the West Ham fans I read suggesting their team would provide an easy obstacle to overcome for teams in need of wins and goals turned to be correct.

Very satisfying to get off the mark after the misery this week has mainly been made up of.

I think i hate Owen Hargreaves more than Garth Crookes, just a terrible and extremely biased commentator. Also struggles to say more than three words without adding a full stop at the end for some unknown reason.

Did you manage to see it?

Very, very good win. Ritchie was absolutely outstanding a true leader today. But they were all very good. Joselu and Merino in particular.

Get a load of that. Getting treated like that for celebrating with the players and fellow fans - horrible cunts. Fair play to Aguero like! pic.twitter.com/kSI6LOvJyU

Good to see West Hams attempt at the treble is going well so far.

It's not just that, he says every single word in the same tone like a robot. Incredible to think that BT were willing to scrap, in my opinion, the best show they have in the European Football Show but are happy to keep knob ends like Hargreaves, Owen and Savage.

Good win for us today! Thought Everton would pose more of a threat going foward but they did nothing.

Good point yesterday. Should have been more, but then they had their chances at the start and at the end. Nathan Redmond reminds me of Lego - goes to bits in the box, like a latter-day Paul Devlin (that's one for the kids). Any point is a good point. 7 out of 9. Just hope West Ham don't get organised in the coming international break. Turning them over on their own patch would make it a really fantastic start before a tough clash with Leicester.

Absolutely superb performance this after from Liverpool although Arsenal being poor made it an easy job at Anfield. But four goals without conceding isn't something to grumble at.

Class to see Burnley steal a point late on against Spurs at Wembley as well!

Oh Arsenal. Some things never change.

Spurs need to get things sorted at Wembley......Kane's August record is also an odd one considering how prolific he is in almost every other month. Of course I've had him as my fantasy captain every week so far

I've seen you go 4-0 down vs us in 20 minutes, but this was probably the worst I've seen you play and close to the worst performance I've ever seen. Neville was spot on commentary, players embarrassed the shirt, Ozil, Ramsey etc walking around.

But on the other hand, we're fab to watch going forward.

Arsenal were shit! Liverpool so lethal when going forward! Could have easily been 5\6-0 had it been a different keeper in goal!

Don't see a reason why Liverpool should keep Coutinho. Could only cause problems. Surely taking the money now is the smartest move.

Özil was surprisingly the only one chasing down the whole game, jumped around in frustration seeing no-one else press with him. His 0.5/10 performance doesn't make up for everyone elses 0.1/10 though

Like @Based Jorge said, they all played shit so it is quite hard to make a case for each one of them.
