I am sure the PE teacher is a **** given he is a PE teacher.  But which PE teacher and what connection does he have with Kyle Walker?

PE teacher is one of the friendly nicknames given to Ole by certain northern football supporters and pops introduced walker to the thread not me....

Welcome back, Archer!

Definitely a much missed poster*

*Even if you're a City fan

 

Need hyy to stir things up

What's Walker got to do with anything? He's an idiot.
Meanwhile, the PE teacher is presented as some nice guy when really deep down he is a ****.

Anyway, I was generally saying nice things about United 

Just seen Fernandes has won Player of the Month for the 4th time.

Made me smile.

He joins this group of PL greats who have also won it 4 times:
Dennis Bergkamp
Thierry Henry
Frank Lampard
Cristiano Ronaldo
Paul Scholes
Alan Shearer[d]
Jamie Vardy

Only these ahead of him:

Rooney 5
RVP 5
Gerrard 6
Kane 6
Aguero7
 

And looking at those players you'll understand why it made me smile.

Cant help but be pleased for Solskjaer, seems like one of lifes good guys.

True this, think he has had the rub of the green this season, but am genuinely pleased for him.

I just looked up the xG table to see how lucky he had been, and the answer is quite a bit, but not massively so.  xG still has Manchester United in 3rd.  

https://understat.com/league/EPL

As an aside Sheffield United, Brighton, Chelsea and Fulham are the teams that have run bad, and none have lost faith in their manager yet.  West Brom really looked doomed, and Newcastle shoild be in the relegation scrap, though we knew that already.

United and City were impacted more than anyone by the lack of preseason due late involvement in European comps (City's pre-season started on 14/9 and the first league fixture was 21/9) meaning both so far off the pace in the early weeks.

If you recalculate the understat table with a 17/10 start date (after the 1st in season international break)  you see a different picture - United/City 1st and 2nd on points & City/United 1st and 2nd on expected points.

Credit particularly to United for that.
Happy for them to finish 2nd ahead of Liverpool  if City go on to win it

We’re short of at least one sad in the title.

Losing 6-1 to Spurs fades into insignificance compared to the ineptitude of Woodward and whoever else is supposed to be handling transfers.
Still, freak results happen, and at least both our and City’s recent big losses were against Top 6 teams.
Must be really galling for LFC fans to not be able to rub it in.

Your unbeaten run started after the later Arsenal defeat and not the Spurs mauling.

Still mightily impressive results since then if not always performance with W9 Dr2 L0 since then.

Value at 7/1 for the title?

Cant help but be pleased for Solskjaer, seems like one of lifes good guys.

Absolutely. He still commands the full support of the Manchester City fanbase.

Don't think this was a good look for him:

Aspirations to be middle class and has a 5 burner Bosch hob. How much left to go is there? Tough going out there cobber

FYP.  Working class folks having it tough

Haha good spot. Like any instagrammer i took great care to get the hob in the shot

And  set off perfectly  by the design classic  Le Creuset casserole-cocotte oval dish. A snip at £250.

Move up to 3rd place in the 2020 calendar year table - 1 point ahead of United and just 6 behind Liverpool.

Pretty good to be fair to Arteta.

Scored 23 and conceded 13 from 13 games. Exactly the same as Liverpool in 2020  

United 98/99 (Treble)
Chelsea 04/05 - (Mourinho)
City 17/18 - (100 Points)
United 07/08 - (Rooney/Ronaldo)
Arsenal 03/04 - (Invincibles)

Rank the above.

Where would Liverpool 19/20 come in the rankings?

Just below the treble team I think. Coin flip with the City 17/18 team for 2nd/3rd.

Fabulous achievement for LFC but they haven’t really been challenged in the league this year.

United 2007-2009 the best United team for me.

In terms of points record at this stage of the season there is very little difference between City 17/18 and Liverpool 19/20 so agreed broadly a coin flip.

Liverpool  P31 W28 L1    Goal difference 49
City          P31 W27 L1    Goal difference 67

However, City 18/19 > City 19/20.....  first  domestic treble and the ultimate challenge in the league

United 98/99 (Treble)
Chelsea 04/05 - (Mourinho)
City 17/18 - (100 Points)
United 07/08 - (Rooney/Ronaldo)
Arsenal 03/04 - (Invincibles)

Rank the above.

Where would Liverpool 19/20 come in the rankings?

Depends what we are ranking..

One single PL season in isolation?
One single PL season with doubles/trebles?
Best team over, say, 3 years including doubles/trebles?

Congrats 
Obviously well deserved.
