2022/2023 Premier League Discussion

*Some of the commonwealth

Classic though, peasants continue to go to work and they cancel only their entertainment

Fuck the fucking Queen and her inbred corpse, I want to see some football

Charles right now

Lizzie has reduced Nish to having to watch french football

K I believe there should be respect and tribute regarding her death but postponing football as a result is so unnecessary it has me wilt.

Of course the absolute suck that is Charles and William won't do a thing about it either.

I get she passed away but that rule is like some all encompassing narcissism. Fuck off.

If they postpone the CL and then the next weekend game again, I am joining the Napoli bandwagon

the world isn't stopping though is it the Queen is quite big in the UK and commonwealth so cancelling certain engagement is the right thing to do out of respect. Uefa games will still go ahead as planned

What is this bullshit? It's once again clear that we dropped so low that some people take whatever shit is thrown into their faces without questioning the rationale or the lack of it. It is quite known that almost nobody besides the family actually knew the queen, her personality, her knowledge, her level intelligence etc. She did not have a political agenda, an economical agenda...she is one of the most popular persons in the last century, being popular for doing absolutely nothing. She did not start wars, she did not end wars, she didn't change the face of a domain or anything like this. And she didn't have to. It's not a problem at all. So, I am not saying she wasn't a nice person, or that she was not loved by the people. But to go that far as in to cancel things because of her death, it's like we're going back 600 years in time.

On some level, the masses act like after the Charlie Hebdo attacks. Everyone suddenly pays respect to the queen and thinks she was of some incredible importance one way or the other and I can understand this when it comes to the UK citizens (not enough to postpone football games though), but I mean this is happening everywhere on the globe...and the worldwide hypocrisy is blatant.

It's the players who will have to pay for it. The match schedule was already packed with the WC running parallel with club football this year.

We are all at the end of the day just peasants, we all have to obey what the top decides for us unfortunately Just switch to watch other leagues for a change for 1 weekend arent that big of a deal?

You didn’t understand anything. Has nothing to do with complaining that there are no other options of what to do in a weekend.

never, not watching no poverty league

just a shame NFL doesn't have Saturday games, otherwise i would have watched that... always found that weird tbh isn't Saturday a primetime for everyone to watch the biggest sport in 'Murica

Chelsea-Liverpool, Man Utd-Leeds & Brighton-Palace postponed

so dumb

most people are home doing nothing on Sundays while Saturdays people are more likely to do something and not be at home. Just a guess though

that's what i meant, to go out and watch the game at the stadium... but yea it's probably more about a TV ratings thing and Sunday people are just chilling at home watching TV

i don't think the club or the police would be that careless about the situation considering the recent Greenwood and Mendy cases... so because of this, i believe the allegations were deemed inconclusive/faulty

Late reply, but this makes the most sense to me as well. I haven't looked deeply into the claims, and I don't have any opinion about whether or not the allegations are true, but the evidence provided by his ex girlfriend seemed quite condescending and authoritative rather than something you'd expect to be presented by someone who's been victim of rape or abuse. That doesn't mean that she's not telling the truth, but I imagine she could've done herself a world of favor by being a bit more humble and objective about it.

people are so quick to jump on their SJW horse and "the woman is always right" nonsense... so many men have been the victim of women's lies and manipulation as well. Let the law and courts do its job because that's what it's there for

The only reason Partey is not in jail is because of legal technicalities.

Also a victim of sexual assault is not obliged to have a humble tone.

33yo Diego Costa back in the EPL ftw Been in Brazil but seems have been outperformed by 36yo Hulk Joining Wolves until end of the season on loan it seems. Wonder if he still has it, should be interesting to see more drama n red cards coming if hes his old self

you seem to be convinced that the woman's truth is the truth and that she is completely right in this case... this type of thinking won't get you far, my friend

Why are all these EPL fans (the ones that call it the GOAT league) not talking about Spurs losing to a lowly portuguese team?

Sporting ain't a "lowly" Portuguese team. Oh gosh, don't be like that

I think because one of them will still make to the final.
