Cheese Pizza: Hennessey; Ward, Dann, Delaney (c), Souare; McArthur, Cabaye; Zaha, Puncheon, Bolasie; Wickham.

EPIC BIG SAM
EPIC AS HECK
sick and tired of hearing about vardy
>>63757381
Big Sam confirmed for hating the North East.
are sunderland using the same formation that got raped by everton?
>>63757450
yep
he is literally and unironically killing sunderland, just as he tried to kill newcastle 8 years ago
>>63757398
Liverpool will pay out the ass for him and he will sink back into mediocrity and obscurity. See Keane, Robbie, Lambert, Ryan, Hampton, South, Carrol, Andy for further reference.

you don't ask for much, do you?
>>63757506
as a Liverpool manager who has gone onto bigger and better clubs once said, "It's a fact."
>Blunderland: Pantilimon, Jones, Kaboul, O'Shea, Coates, van Aanholt, Cattermole, Larsson, M'Vila, Defoe, Fletcher.
>Subs: Johnson, Lens, Graham, Toivonen, Yedlin, Mannone, Watmore.
Sunderland has the most depressing squad I've ever seen.
Gonna sit this one out so it should be a cracker
>>63757549
Yeah but it look at the positive, it's less depressing than 2016-17 Sunderland.
>>63757549
Pantilimon is good usually (gash this year), M'Vila is legit, Cattermole great on his day and Defoe is a goalscorer.
The rest can fuck off. Watmore and Johnson maybe stay.
>>63757575
None but Pantillimon will stay when they're relegated

for fuck's sake they should have kept him. literally dump kaboul and defoe, they are past it tottenham players. and bring back in colback.
No talk of other games? OK then
Predictions? I reckon 3-0 Palace.
>>63757776
No way, it will be some nasty 1-0 or 0-0 game.
wait just a minute, is that the Johann Cabaye?
>>63757776
6-2
>>63757776
I have 3-0 palace

What else is on? Could do without watching >us lose again.
>>63757795
I mean mnf reviewing weekend results.
American watching soccer for the first time here, is Crystal Palace a good team to follow?
I'm a Colts fan in American football, I don't know if they have a good Premier League equivalent
>>63757818
Watch & see what you think
pardew is such a scummy manager, its actually embarrassing
using shitty cheap tactics because you have no faith in your own or your teams ability to actually play football
>>63757818
They have cheerleaders, goal music, confetti, plastic flags and fly a bald eagle around the stadium at home games.
You'd fit right in.
>4-4-2
>John O'Shea at fullback against Zaha/Bolasie
Surely sam is playing 6-2-2

We're fucked

woh is they're rival? QPR?
>>63757818
Watch Sunderland m8. You'll be able to follow them in the Championship next season.
Sam looks dejected already
>sam pretty much saying he's playing 802
"we'll have to defend first and hope we get something out of our front 2"
lel
>>63757842
5-3-2 like vs Everton, PvA and Jones at wingback, Kaboul, O'Shea, Coates at CB.
I got the feeling Blunderland won't lose this game.
I smell a 2-2 or 3-3.
>>63757818
They're okay, they're a bit cringey and have gimmicks out the arse but the fans make decent noise as their stadium is small which means only real fans get in with season tickets or membership, general sale rarely happens for CP.
>>63757818
>Watching for the first time
>Palace v Sunderland
I await the "American here, this is what wrong with soccer..." thread
>>63757818
It's tricky to find an EPL equivalent when talking about two different sports, it doesn't always make sense.
Crystal Palace is not one of the better teams, but they play well at home and love to play the role of spoiler, especially against Liverpool.
dubs and slumberland wins
>>63757900
Nooooo

Thank you based Estonia.
Cheerleaders are scummy as fuck
Must be bloody freezing and all

You've picked the worst possible game to watch m8
Though to be fair I decided my NFL team would be Baltimore Ravens and I watched it for the first time last night. It was a complete clusterfuck, I've no idea if that's how NFL normally is though.
>>63757939
Clearly not as the other time we put 5 at the back we conceded 6.
Seeing waterfalls, lava fields, geysers, volcanoes and going on a glacier hike. Supposed to be watching the northern lights but it's overcast for the rest of the week.

Genuine quote from Bog Sim:
>"With John O'Shea at left back we will hopefully nullify Palace's strength on the wing."
>>63757985
If it wasn't for Vardy's party nobody would have given a single shit about Newcastle Leicester. Anything with Villa and Mememouth is guaranteed misery.
>>63757985
Sky have to spread the games between the teams.
Picking this one means theres going to be some other good fixture live next month or whenever. It's a balancing act.
>>63757947
>doubting big sam
Palace will score 6 (six)
I know he's a twat and not that great at football, but I do really like Cattermole.

Can't stand green kits, I don't know why they're allowed.
>>63758073
>meme kits
>>63758073
Because cunts like CP wear red and blue, why is that even allowed?
Sunderland should have kept their white kits that they wore for this game last season
>>63758073
It's a meme colour for an outfield kit imo, along with pink and purple

Stop conceding corners you mongs
>>63758107
At least Fletcher and Defoe link up decently on occasion. They're still not good but they're at least pretending to be a team.
Palace are a legit top 6 threat
This is going to be the GOAT season
>>63758129
or for Cazorla
>>63758139

Leicester and Palace will both drop off

>Palace are a legit top 6 threat
>>63758136
The trouble is you have to pay double to convince people going to Sunderland is worthwhile.
We do seem to exclusively sign past it players from bigger clubs and utterly shit foreigners though.
sup senpaitachi
desu smhhhhhhh

I quite liked the madrid dark green away kits.
>>63758136
>8th
Is that true? Do they have relegation clauses or did they forget like Newcastle?
>>63758156
I actually really liked Coates and wasn't happy we sold him to you, but it seems like that ACL injury killed him off
Someone needs to tell Sunderland that long balls only work when there's a player to pick them up
how was MNF lads?
>>63758167
Yes, it's usually pretty accurate at predicting league position too:

IT'S TIME TO BRING HIM BACK
>not a single decent game next weekend
>van aanholt
Billy Jones seems to play fucking attacking midfield for us, it's mental. He's not that bad a player but that's one of the main problems with our full backs, they seem unable to stay back and actually defend.
>>63758153
They will drop off but never be out of contention. Top 4 at christmas
>>63758201
leceister vs utd
spurs vs chelsea
desu senpai
have there been any shots on target so far?
>>63758227
They'll drop points in more home games, will struggle when teams start parking the bus.
Same as every weak team that has a purple patch

Was just thinking that. Have a (you) lad.
It's been as boring as we fucking expected.
There's no reason this game couldn't have been played yesterday. Why screw over the fans who have to travel ages and those "asian market" fans who can't stay up this late

By the close of the 18th century 40% of the world's, and 80% of Britain's Atlantic slave activity was accounted for by slave ships that voyaged from the docks at Liverpool

Was there a few months ago. Went to take a selfie to put on fb, fucking dropped my phone like some sort of spastic. Makes the tiniest of sounds when it hits the floor... next thing I know everyone in the stadium is fucking watching me like a hawk.

Nothing will ever beat the infamous QPR vs Fulham match on /sp/ a couple years ago.
Shitposting reached unheard of levels it was that irrelevant
>>63758636
This desu
>>63758631
That sounds awful, buddy. You should wear glasses so they don't escape.
>>63758649
QPR vs Reading back in 2012 (I think) was worse.
How can you possibly have two teams in the one of the best leagues in the world possibly be this fucking horrible, I've seen more interesting mls games, fucking tragic.
Van Arnholt is fucking shit, he's been in great positions a few times today and fucked it up completely every time
Palace with their Sunday League tactics of rolling the ball down the line into a deadend. Either you lose the ball or go backwards. So pointless
And with that, Pantilimon has proven he has better feet than Larsson.
>>63758667
Granddad tier joke 2bh
>>63758672
Sounds almost as bad as any SPL game.
>>63758649
Do you remember Moyes' MU vs Fulham? The game when they put in 60+ crosses with 0 effect?
That was the worst pro game I've ever seen.
