PREMIER LEAGUE: ROUND 5

they making rules up when the either want or dont want goals

ouch, sore one.

Shaw should have got a yellow

Many Chelsea players don't seem like the kind to roll up their sleeves in adversity. Probably won't be long before they start really feeling sorry for themselves.

sheeting it down! abandon the game.

Wow, never a yellow that.

another stupid red.

Crazy game.

sent of for the fourth time why leave him on the pitch after the yellow man u manager need s to be shot not sacked.

Expect the Pope
Will be pleased

Crazy Maresca, you're one man down against United and you take off both Palmer and Neto, now he wishes they were both back out there, way too hasty.

This above, expect Chelsea to dominate 2nd half as Utd look to hang on to their lead.

Have to say, 2 yellows for 2 fouls for Casemiro is very harsh considering what some players haven't been booked once for.

Yes, if Sesko goes off it screams fear, even though he was a spectator in the first half.

Maresca looking at long season, 85mins
a man down probably not good, so bring
on some grafters.

Nobody expects casemiro to do that.

United were on top when it was 11v 11, now they are two up and it's 10 v 10 with Chelsea's two best players off the pitch, United should not be running scared here and inviting trouble!!!!

Why is betfair showing one red card?

this match is a sh!tshow, barely watchable in these conditions.

Chelsea look like they've only got seven men on the pitch but United still can't play a decent final ball.

disgrace of a game of football looks like they know the result

chelsea playing with five defenders even though they losing 2;0

6/6 btts EPL

It's on.

I d ont know but fulham doing their best because not even a pub league player would have made a pass like that to concede corrupt as

7/7 btts epl

Layers sleeping poorly tonight.

As own goals go, that was a bit special.

elliott on loan to sit on bench at btm of league rather than sit on bench at top of the lg  and champions

Young Harvey is a great impact sub but his career is fast becoming a joke.

Never a red and sunderland imo

Anyone know what the record is for not scoring from the start of the season? Villa must be getting close to it.

Both teams scored in all seven Premier League games yesterday - the only day in the competition's history that had more games to see every team score was 27th November 2010 (8 games).

Opta

Longest goalless run at the start of a season for each team in the top four divisions. (League games)

Team        Division     Record      Year
Cheltenham Town     L2     11     2023
Crystal Palace     PL     7     2017
Burnley     PL     6     1997
Sunderland     PL     5     1985
Ipswich Town     CH     5     1970
Southampton     CH     5     1922
Watford     CH     5     1969
Bolton Wanderers     L1     5     2019

Thanks YHTL, 2 to go to equal it then if they dont score today(in the PL)

Seems logical mr spock.

Two crap games so far. Hopefully Man City show up in the later game.

The longest run without scoring a Premier League goal was set by Crystal Palace in the 1994/95 season, when they failed to score in nine consecutive games between 19 November 1994 and 2 January 1995, eventually ending their drought against Leicester on 14 January.

Leicester came within a game of matching that in the 2024/25 season when losing eight straight games without scoring before netting twice in a 2-2 draw at Brighton.

Bte365 ^^^

Think Stevenage should read League 2... only promoted a couple of years ago

Villa at 1.64 at HT is ridiculous, even with a Sunderland red card. They haven't even scored a solitary goal all season.

thought the red was harsh, but Sunderland can still get a point at least. Villa are hopeless.

Not anymore

Absolute shocker by the keeper.

not if the keeper does that, though.

its a beauty
absolute moronic comms should sasve his hans chritian adersons cooms for the old firm derby

to be fair on comms in old firm derby that attempted save goes down as a WORLDIE

1-1 well deserved

2.8 Villa... Get on Villa win this.

Nah.

The 15 for Sunderland looks more inviting

Cor Villa are terrible

Bournemouth happy to just stay in premiership no ambition

Had a couple of easier to score chances...

Let's not panic... I'm thinking over 2.5 and Arsenal...

Laid Arsenal here. Not liking that starting lineup

Lay Arse. I expect some Arseyness here today.

Looks like Arteta is frightened of his own shadow again, they don't create much through open play and they've got Eze on the bench and merino starting, what did they buy Eze for if not for these games!!!!

Feel sorry for Newcastle's travelling supporters today.

writz 120 mill
isak 13 mill
villa want 100 mill for morgan

games gone,need a radar to find wirtz and morgan on pitch this season

1-1, I reckon. It's not a "must win", but with Liverpool getting all the luck and all the decisions (albeit not playing that well). It will seem like a difficult task for either of them if they don't win.

Hopefully it's a good game and Arse don't employ their Stoke City-esque tactics.

Let's hope the Ref isn't 'biased'

looking at the teams, a lay of Arsenal does look like a fair bet.

A fiver each on Foden & Madueke shot on target

Eze has taken a regrettable turn. Once flourishing amid a triumphant side that savored the sweet tang of silverware, he now finds himself resigned to the cold comfort of Arsenal’s bench — a club whose trophy cabinet has remained stubbornly modest in recent years.

very eloquent, sofa.

0-1

Sweet move.

there it is. easy

easy, Arteta obv didn't watch last week.

Pep's not proud, he's realized he can't play pressing football with this team anymore so is sitting in and playing counter attack instead

Eze must have known this could happen but to actually see him not starting is  very tough.

bad move for eze , i dont know why arsenal signed him-- hes not the player they needed.

Art*ta will ruin Eze.

And Madueke's purple patch will not last

long throws,set pieces, defenders hoofing it anywhere only need a mexiacn wave ,nesum dorma and we,re back to the 90,s

arsenal look clueless alreay...no penetration

yep, City dealing with them pretty comfortably, tbh

gooners would rather shout for free kicks,count how many secs keeper has ball and ap;lkaud any football for a £100 a tkt

same at anfield ...unless something changes rapidly no way are they champions material

to be fair PLOUGH LANE,s been spruced up a bit since i last watched wimbledon

Arsenal create nothing from open play ad all their creative players are on the bench, Arteta is so cowardly.

Bernado Silva is a vile cheat.

Yeah, pathetic from Silva, that.

madwueke best player on pitch if you want saka on why not put madwueke on left  and take tross off ?

maybe had a knock. although didn't notice anything

Arsenal looking better this half, though.

Madueke was great in the 1st half

"Visit Rwanda"... Hell NO.

Ends 1-1

BOTTLED IT. Ars*nal and Art*ta can't handle the pressure of being title favourites.

1-1

keeper could.ve done better

Two average teams. Liverpool and Spurs won't be too concerned by what we've witnessed here.

no criticism of Donnarumma? caught out of position, cost City the 3 points they needed.

All the teams are average total football is well and truly dead.

Round 5, 2 bets, 1 winner. Profit after commission 39p

millions of punters across the globe would be very happy to swap their weekend p/l for yours snc

Yes.

The Dragon did very well this weekend!
