The Premier League - Season 2023/24

Jordan Henderson

I just watched a SSN report by Melissa Reddy on this and didn’t know which was funnier. The hipocrosy of Henderson or the amateur dramatics and language deployed by Reddy. The report was like some deranged fan fiction reading.

Henderson may have achieved a lot and fair play but he’s not looking too good right now. I can only think of him as he’s portrayed in Athletico Mince!

Worth pointing out that Reddy is a massive LFC fan so maybe that accentuated her "performance".

I'm looking forward to watching Onana in goal for Manchester United. He could be great or the next Rene Higuita (minus the drug cartels and kidnapping obvs). Maybe he'll try a new version of a scorpion kick. Either way, he'll probably be better at saving penalties than DDG.

De Gea has faced 35 penalties in the Premier League and saved five - a 14% hit rate. That compares to peers such as Hugo Lloris (13%), Ederson (14%) and Alisson (15%).

Lloris has been shit for years so I wouldn't put him as a peer. The other two, you could argue, haven't faced that many penalties given their teams doing very well the last few years. De Gea's record looked worse after the Europa League final. Alisson by contrast got Liverpool over the line in two cup finals. That's the difference.

In retrospect, it looks bad if your best player for the last few seasons was voted as your keeper. So full marks for longevity but he should have done better in big games.

Arsenal to finish outside the top 4 I think

Surprised to learn that Gary O’Neil’s made manager of the Dingles. He deserved better than that.

Arguably stronger, City weaker. Easy top 4 imo.

Not sure the goons can handle Premier League and Champions League, well lets hope they don't.

Mmmm, grasping a bit. They did ok on Europa Thursdays albeit a lesser competition than CL.

What happened to Kyle Willywaver's court case?

I'm waiting for Arsenal v Bayern, always a classic beating for the goons.

Kane to be unveiled, I wonder if he'll attempt some German...

"Err well, err Ich bin ein Munchener, errr no I'm not hungry thanks."

[Basualdo]

I wonder what The Kane Rap sounds like in German?
