EPL Matchday 9 - On Optus Sport

They said last time Chelsea scored 6 was 2014, when was the last time they put 7 past someone?

2012 vs Villa when we put 8 past them.

Think we beat Villa 8-0 9 or 10 years ago.

Is it too premature to say at that even at this relatively early stage of the season Norwich are going down?

It could have been actually a 10 goal loss if Chelsea had their kicking boots on and a couple of their strikers playing.

Very impressive and ruthless performance by Roman's Boys.

Is it possible to just relegate Norwich now?

Selfless from RLC, the goal would have been massive for him, but giving Mount a hattrick is even better. Brilliant stuff! RLC redemption arc well and truly in progress

Haha to be fair, he had no intention of passing that until he took a really poor touch that got away from him so had to scramble it sideways to Mount.

Hes finally back to his pre-achilles self. Love it.

Was barely off the line. As said, sh*t rule brought in for no apparent reason, and yet stutter run ups where players basically stop are still allowed.

Im with you on this. Players can seemingly do anything in their run up yet keepers have to be rooted to the line giving them basically no chance to save penalties. I mean I guess pens are supposed to be heavily weighted in the attackers camp right? I guess...

They were going down after matchday 1

Absolutely not. They are cooked and the teams they keep company with at the moment are trash however Newcastle is getting a good manager at some point soon and they will invest heavily in January because the Saudis aren't buying Newcastle only to see them go down.
Newcastle have 3 points, but January they will buy their way out of trouble.

Burnley are probably likely to go down with Norwich, and I think the last spot is going to either Leeds or Southampton.

Watford far more likely than Southampton.

Just swap them and West Brom, would anyone notice? Have they ever been in the EPL at the same time...

 

[And_ROOS]

Watford..?

Watfords a weird one, I have them surviving but they are capable of shitting the bed too. Realistically no one bottom 6 is safe this year, and it would be hilarious if Newcastle drop down.

15/16. Norwich finished 19th, WBA finished 14th.

In 13/14 Norwich finished 18th, 3 points behind WBA in 17th.

And their best combined was 12/13 where WBA finished 8th, and Norwich 11th. They would dream of finishing that high up the table.

WBA were in the EPL for 8 seasons straight apparently, surprised me.

They used to be a semi-regular top half finisher under Hodgson and Clark (I think?).

I completely forgot Pardew was there for a bit.

I completely forgot Pardew.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Bielsa had a very trying week apparently, so hopefully that can fire the boys up.
Cannot take Wolves lightly though, quality team who lately have been flying under the radar

 

[And_ROOS]

And Everton already up. Maybe I shouldn't have said Watford would survive.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Look at that, take the crab Iwobi out and put in Gordon and he helps get an early first goal.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Norwich have the best of both worlds. They get obscene money just for being in the Premier League every couple of years and their supporters get to see them win a trophy every other season as well.

I'd almost rather be a Norwich supporter than a Burnley supporter.
