>Game on tv on last
They have common sense for once

YOU TO ME ARE EVERYTHING
THE FINEST ERIC SINCE THE KING
OH BAILLY, OH BAILLY

Why do they call it Match of the Day and not Day of the Match or Game Day?

Because the bbc is run by jews

or the people that put it on tv lack the sense

Because it comes from when they only showed one game

>Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye the first player from the top 5 European leagues to win 100 tackles this season (101)

Reminder that he still went to the African Cup of Nations.

Kante who?

Joking apart, now that Gary has bad mouthed Leicester, is he welcome anywhere?

>he still watches Match of the Day
>in 3017

Spurs
Maybe Japan

>the PL has fallen so far that African midfielders that run about a bit, despite being creatively shit on the ball, are celebrated as great players

>Gueye: tackles 101, dribbled past 36 total tackles attempted 136; success 73%
>Kanté: tackles 92, dribbled past 29 total tackles attempted 121; success 76%

bet they talk about ranieri

As an old fag, tell me what its like to be young and have to record everything you do on your phone? Is it hard not to be able to just watch a match and celebrate a goal without whipping your phone out?

bit late but I'm here now lads, no need to worry anymore

I think Mowbray is the best motd commentator

At last. We already got a beer in for you.

You can only make more tackles if the opposition has the ball more than your team dickhead

cheers mate x

Llorente is so fucking good looking.

in both a classic manner and a modern manner.

no homo

Fabregas is actually still a pretty good footballer.

I'd love him to hold me in his arms, tell me he loves me and give me sweet kisses.

No homo

>flappyhandski

too white for me desu

No idea. 27 here.I find it strange some people don't know the concept of not having a phone as a kid and not knowing where your mates are and having to go look for them.

No other team in the league comes close to this Chelsea squad.

>da swans

i totally understand what you mean, no homo. he has the perfect build no homo

swansea could've and should've beaten them.

Great to see the social media updates by players being included on MOTD. Some fascinating and insightful stuff being posted.

United playing their best team come close imo

>Jermaine Penus

slimy cretin

>tfw 25 and was really technologically impaired as a child.
Didn't have broadband in my house until I was 18

Jermaine & Wrighty best MOTD combo

he was one of the ones who sabotaged mouyes

Yes, fantastic decision from the BBC.

I never knew before how much 3 points meant to Pedro but now it's there in definitive black and white from the man himself, it's these little details that I pay my licence fee for.

Why is Trevor Noah on MOTD?

I know, but he was shit last season himself. He's actually still good.

>not thinking Shearer was GOAT pundit when Newcastle lost

>it's a Phil Neville / Danny Murphy / Jermaine Jenus permutation episode

I feel like every time Kante puts in a tackle he wins the ball

Phil Neville has yet to say one interesting thing on camera

I've seen him miss plenty

>Romelo Lukaku is """"""""""""23""""""""""""

Kante is literally the GOAT midfielder

Shearer is so much better as a pundit than he used to be. The thing is, if you are a top player you can walk into a job as a BBC pundit. If Rooney decides to be a pundit he'll be straight onto MOTD

He's big mates with Ed Sheeran as well, saw him pop up at the BRIT awards the other night and do a duet with him

If he was better at hiding his bias I'd tolerate him. Hope he retires soon

>Shearer is so much better as a pundit tha

He's still absolute shit. Talks like he has a mouth full of marbles.

People forget Shearer is the top prem scorer of all time

92/121 in prem this season
12/13 in euros
175/233 for leicester
176/236 for caen

We've already seen how Rooney as a pundit would be

Henry > Shearer

The reality is, everyone is sat at home wishing there were more female players working as pundits. They have so much insight to give on the male game.

15 quid on Everton, WBA, and Chelsea to win at 4/1

Thanks for the free money Sky

Objectively yes, although it pains me to admit it as a geordie

>Eve/Sun, WBA/Bou, CP/Boro, Hull/Bur, Wat/WHU

nothing but meme teams left, going to bed

Where the fuck did you get this idea from?

Doesn't look like that trip to NYC paid off for >Moyes

That had best be a joke

Barkley's looking proper fit with longer hair, hope he doesn't shave it off

You mean people wish they could get a good look at their insights?

I actually never watched Shearer in his prime, and Henry was the player that made me love football and support Arsenal. So even if you said Shearer was better I wouldn't really be able to argue back.

The Guardian mostly.

>He cares about the "Premier" League

Small time desu

The only thing they've been right about recently, was Taboo deserving more interest.

Who's a bigger fish in a small pond, Lukaku or Defoe?

What is a meme team?

Who cares? None of the big clubs had matches today.

Alexis Sanchez

is defoe the second best english striker?

David Moyes

Is Defoe elite?

Lukaku is 23? He must have spent a lot of time in one of those Calais migrant camps

Defoe is just an on form Vardy

There's a picture of him at 10, where he already looks 6 foot.

Defoe has scored our only winning goal at a world cup in 10 years

Lukaku is greedy as fuck, so lucky that went in

They were better at different things, Shearer was most physical, better in the area and had a more powerful shot and just had the instinct to get on the end of passed. Henry has some of the best technical skills I've ever seen desu, quick, could shoot, dribble and set up chances

i feel like koeman's bit of a fraud 2bh

obviously great player, but pretty nothing manager

Do you think he looks at pep and wishes that was him?

...

Nah, he's a good manager with a good personality. He'll either be at Barca or making The Netherlands good again in a few years.

This season has been utter shit.

He's in the top 3 PL managers atm for me

Unless you're a rentboy or an Albion fan

at we know the next one will be great

Agreed

Conte, Mou, Koeman?

Odd year seasons are always shit. Even year seasons are GOAT.

shearer must feel shit that he's been completely sidelined by jenas

the bbc jenas push is no joke

Odd numbered ones are always dull for the title race

Least the CL race is pretty good although I can see United dropping off to concentrate on Europa League

Pep, Wenger, Koeman

>mou

Shearer can't be objective about Scumberland. Neither should Jena's really they both played together for Newcastle.

Also why is Bournemouth's away kit shit

You can't be serious. Wenger is a fucking fraud.

10/10 goalkeeping

Based on what?

Coaches like Mou or Conte won't get BTFO 5-1 regularly, but they also won't build teams that you look back on and say fuking hell, they played some good Football. In the end that's what ppl will be remembered for.

>le tough british lad

who is the current one?

Cattermole
