2018-2019 Barclays English Premier League Season

They may win league one.

BTW, my prediction of Huddersfield going down is looking correct. I think most predicted that though.

Yeah, I can't see them staying afloat. I think it'd be hilarious if West Ham also falls through.

If West Ham wins today, they will be out of relegation mode (I know, to early to talk about that).

Yeah, that's true. Still funny to think that they were at nil for so long.

No problem, dear boy. Always happy to keep things updated, and there's another match later tonight. I will update the score, but there won't be any need to update the points of reference on the table as the two teams doing the skirmish today are middle of the pack, unless one of them drops to the bottom 5.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I forgot to announce the score from Monday's fixture, so here it is:

Southampton 2 Brighton & Hove Albion 2

Chelsea beat PAOK in Europa....
Was surprised we didn't play more kids especially after going up a few mins in but it is what it is.

System is still new so likely Sarri wants to give his mainstays more experience in it.
It is a different team without Hazard. Not nearly as much fun to watch.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Welp, that went HORRIBLY wrong for my Cherries yesterday.

What a fabulous goal that was!

 

[jterrell]

Another good game between Chelsea and Liverpool.
IT is OK if I say Hazard is the most on form player in the world right???

Dude has been sensational.

The scorcher to tie from Sturridge was absolute class then his lack of celebration after in a nod to Chelsea was admirable.
