Back to dropping points to Brighton and West Brom.
i dont like how commentators keep saying Bruno dragged us to the top like the rest of the team is trash. No, he filled a hole the team desperately needed and gave everybody else a more defined role.

Robbed of two glorious goals by the woodwork.Wish Cavani scored that.
First PSG and now this game
If Cavani scored that I would've bought a life size 3D print of it and placed it in my livingroomWish Cavani scored that.
What a leap

He did in a sense. Everyone else has upped their level but that's because he came in and basically became a captain and demanded levels from everyone else both in his play and his attitude on and off the pitch.
Honestly i doubted how many of these sort of players were still out there in football today, and to find one in the portuguese league, who seemingly no one really wanted to take a chance on is the biggest slice of luck we've had in years
Only KDB can be argued as better, who's also developed in to all of those things.

Thiago is still a top baller and I wish we had him on our team.
But since this is the Premier League and it's social media.....
He's Marques Houston who sideways passes.

We didn't want initially cause he loses to ball too much according to our scouts, which was true but it didn't matter.He did in a sense.

Tottenham wanted I think, Barcelona wanted to buy him then loan him to Valencia....The disrespect cause we didn't want to pay an extra 10M, but that loss to Burnley last year changed plans.
Ole threw him straight into the team for fukks sake.
The kings are back.
I know man people be so extreme with it.
Strange congested season. New league. He's still a top player to me.
Premier League blindsided by NBCSN's announcement to shut channel, says source - World Soccer Talk
English football’s Premier League weren’t officially notified ahead of Friday’s announcement that NBCSN would be shutting down this year, according to a source.
Nor were Premier League executives told that many of their games would be moved to the USA network this year until the Wall Street Journal broke the story.
Blindsided by Friday’s news announcement, the timing couldn’t be worse. The bidding process for the next round of Premier League TV and streaming rights in the United States will begin in the next few months with the anticipation that NBC Sports will try to renew their coverage of the Premier League for several more years. NBC’s current deal with the Premier League expires at the close of the 2021/22 season.
The expectation is that NBC Sports will face significant competition from other sports networks and streaming services interested in capturing the rights to the world’s most popular sports league. ESPN+ remains a formidable competitor, as are CBS’s soon-to-be-renamed Paramount+, Discovery+, Amazon Prime and DAZN.
NBCUniversal’s Peacock TV is a distinct possibility too. However, the source revealed that Premier League executives have recently become dissatisfied with the number of games featured exclusively on Peacock TV this season. The Premier League wants greater distribution and reach for its games, and broadcasting high-profile games via Peacock TVdoesn’t help in the short-term.
World Soccer Talk reached out to the Premier League for a response. According to a Premier League spokesman, the league will not be commenting on this or any of the questions about NBC’s decision to shut down NBCSN as a channel in 2021.
Given the inconsistency of broadcasting games on television and being caught unaware of NBCSN’s future closing, the once stable relationship between the Premier League and NBC Sports has been fractured. Questions remain about how much of a priority the growth of the Premier League is to NBC Sports given the recent emphasis on Peacock broadcasting games, including the biggest game of the season between Liverpool and Manchester United. While the USA channel is in more households than NBCSN, USA isn’t synonymous anymore with sports, which was a similar issue that TNT struggled with when the entertainment channel televised games from the UEFA Champions League.
In its next TV rights deal, the Premier League has to consider which broadcast partner is going to offer the league the greatest reach across television and streaming. Its next three-year deal will take the Premier League past the 2026 FIFA World Cup, due to be hosted in North America in a year where the league will be focused on leveraging as much of the attention on soccer as it can. Between now and then, it’ll be more important than ever for the Premier League to forge a tighter relationship with a broadcast partner that has a strong distribution reach.
Will it be NBC Sports, ESPN, CBS Sports or another broadcaster for 2022/23 and beyond? We will have our answer later this year.
