Congrats to Auba. Pope, Henderson, David Silva, Soyuncu - thats a half a team I think they got wrong. Didn't De Bruyne miss half a season as well? In the bin this pageantry.

The only players I am not sold on are David Silva (seems like a sentimental vote in his farewell season) and Soyuncu (tailed of very badly towards the end of season).

De Bruyne deserved it after his record breaking/equaling season and Salah should be there (19 goals + 10 assists).

Goalkeeper should have been between Pope or Henderson imho. It is a joke than Southgate keeps picking Pickford over either of them.

Nah, De Bryune made 35 appearances in the league and reached the premier league assist record. Best player in the league.

End of the season PFA awards have been announced.

Player of the season - De Bruyne

Young player of the season- Alexander-Arnold

Team of the season - Pope, Alexander-Arnold, Van Djik, Soyuncu, Robertson, Henderson, De Bruyne, David Silva, Mane, Vardy, Aubameyang

I’m a real naysayer but I feel like even on Liverpool, Fabinho was much better than Henderson. He was the rock in that midfield.

De Bruyne is the best player in the league. So I’m fine with what. TAA, Soyuncu, Van Dijk, Robertson, De Bruyne, Mané, Vardy, Aubameyang feel fine. It’s largely spot on.

Soyuncu is a really weird pick. That guy is a bit of a mess, he'd be slaughtered if he played for Arsenal.

Good news, though all Arsenal games were already live.

Sounds like it'll stop once they open the grounds then, which is a poor decision TBF.

Are they worried that lower league clubs would lose gate if all premier league games were broadcast for an extended time?

Did you guys see that hideous Man U strip? What were they thinking?

It's so bad they had to wheel becks out for the photo shoot.

Even if the shorts were black it'd ne x3 better. It's dire.

I just looked it up ffs 😆

The zebras of Manchester 😆

The full kit is worse, the bottoms match.

Oh no 😆

Looks like something a fashion influencer would try to pull off at a pool party

WTF? 😆

Someone at United has to get fired surely.

Is this serious or did someone mock that full kit zebra up? I'd like to think the full kit looks like what Bruno is wearing. God.

I'm surprised the FA approved this. It could be an optical illusion for opponents tracking United players in their peripheral - or worse cause seizures.

Can't be real, surely.

there is no way that full kit is real.

Link here to the shorts though you'd imagine they'll defer to the all white ones. Listen our 2nd and 3rd kits are pretty poor but this is next level. Signing on for 90 million and holding that kit up is a certified L.

Adidas is the constant in all of this. Never seen a worse shirt maker in all my years watching football. I suppose we should be grateful they didn't do this to us instead.

We should make a leopard kit for laughs and wear it when they come to the Emirates.

I for one am really happy we got rid of Puma and got Adidas instead.

I wonder how much input the clubs themselves have in this. Do they need to approve whatever the kit makers come up with, are the contracts different in this regard. Because they seemingly never fuck around with the Real kits like they do with most other clubs.

One of my favorite kits we've ever had. If they could make kits as good as this one every year we'd be laughing.

Unreal 😆 😆 😆

The player(no idea who that is) has about the right level of excitement for shooting in this kit as you'd expect.

He has that Patrick Bateman “I’m into murders and executions mostly” look about him

He looks like he's so embarrassed that he's trying to sneak-walk out of the photo shoot

[size=medium]According to a source close to the club, of 35 players 22 are asthmatic – 63% of the squad, over five times higher than the 12% UK average. With so many sickly players and COVID-19 threatening these at risk players, it’s already dangerous. To keep the players at the max for an entire season, on numerous fronts, substances to enhance and support performance are needed.[/size]

normally i'd say this can't be true, no way they are allowed to be this blatant with it but then i saw that natty breakdown of bayern's PED usage. these germans don't half step when it comes to PEDs.

If Milner plays against Leeds this weekend he'll have played in each of Leeds' last 31 Premier League games.

Why just Germans? Bayern have been roided for decades and recently just upped it but they're by no means the Rule. The USADA is probably as bad as their Russian counterpart in handing out TUEs but really all doping agencies do everything to support their best, Simone Biles has been on Ritalin since her childhood, Serena Williams has a page long list of corticoids and painkillers she's on I think she's even on that Oxycontin. I know a sports doc who's into cycling and he says you should have a Tour de France for asthmatics and one for healthy people because there's no way in hell the latter could compete with the former.

Well our shirts from Adidas are far better than the shit Puma was doing.

It wouldn't surprise me, look Barca and R.Madrid a few years back before their Dr got busted. They were pressing like fucking maniacs all 90mins long.

It was one of Wenger's principled stands, he wouldn't allow it at the club. On the other hand if everyone else is doing it how do you compete?

Real Madrid are still pressing on an insane level, bettered only by Bayern in Europe. Virtually every club is using some form of doping, be it blood spinning cortison or straight roiding their squads to the gills. If you had an agency like VADA doing the tests instead of their pathetic European official counterparts I guarantee everyone would be caught pissing hot immediately.

Thought I’d watch Palace - Southampton for Eze, but he starts from the bench. 🙁
