2012/13 Premier League discussion thread part 2

by Guest Sat 17 Nov 2012, 7:26 pm

First topic message reminder :

The discussion(s) continue here guys.

Unbelievable win for the Canaries tonight which see's Man City top for the first time this season, will they hold on.

QPR - still without a win - look doomed and Aston Villa drop into the bottom 3.

Lukaku gets better every time I see him. Some lucky team will get him cheap because Pep won't need him.

by GSC Sat 12 Jan 2013, 10:41 pm

Hey look.

McCleary is still miles better than crappy Kebe and McAnuff

He's gonna be a heck of a player

by GSC Sat 12 Jan 2013, 10:45 pm

I'm not sure Pep would dump him. Hes smart enough to know hed have to tailor his style to a different league, and hes talented enough to do it. People really do underrate him. Where were the all conquering Barca under Rikjaard?

by GSC Sat 12 Jan 2013, 10:48 pm

They never look pretty, but not entirely sure what Walters expected would happen other than an OG

by GSC Sat 12 Jan 2013, 10:50 pm

The commentators get really nervous when discussing Massey for some reason Laugh

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 12 Jan 2013, 10:52 pm

Walters is a better finisher in his own net than the other teams Laugh

Funny how Massey is the only linespersons name I know.....

by GSC Sat 12 Jan 2013, 10:53 pm

And that is why Hazard is worth 30m

I like how its the pick of the bunch, the bunch being 2 own goals and a penalty

by The Special Juan Sat 12 Jan 2013, 11:00 pm

Larsson's always worth a good goal.

by GSC Sat 12 Jan 2013, 11:01 pm

Pick that one out

by The Special Juan Sat 12 Jan 2013, 11:12 pm

Dive.

by GSC Sat 12 Jan 2013, 11:13 pm

That is disgraceful. Quite obviously a dive.

No problem with going back and handing out a ban.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 12 Jan 2013, 11:13 pm

On 606 earlier the local radio guy was on and said the referee said to the Southampton coaching staff that he gave the penalty for a foul by Guzan on Puncheon.

Neither were penalties

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 12 Jan 2013, 11:16 pm

How on earth did Villa not score

by GSC Sat 12 Jan 2013, 11:17 pm

Oh dear Benteke

by GSC Sat 12 Jan 2013, 11:18 pm

Ricky Lambert is so full of s***

by GSC Sat 12 Jan 2013, 11:18 pm

And Adkins, there was no contact but it wasn't a dive.

Absolute muppet

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 12 Jan 2013, 11:20 pm

I'm struggling to see Adkins's argument there picard

by GSC Sat 12 Jan 2013, 11:22 pm

A year in the Championship might suit Villa tbh. Going nowhere at the moment.

by The Special Juan Sat 12 Jan 2013, 11:24 pm

I can't understand a word he says.

by GSC Sat 12 Jan 2013, 11:27 pm

Inspiring that Franco Di Santo continues to carve out a PL career despite the handicap of being ****

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 12 Jan 2013, 11:28 pm

Ah Mr Clattenburg forgetting that you're meant to take free kicks where the foul occured.

Always the centre of attention

by **Crimey** Sun 13 Jan 2013, 11:33 am

That Lukaku fella looks pretty good, maybe Chelsea should take a look at him to be the replacement for Drogba....

To be fair to Sian Massey, every time I've seen her make a big call she's got it spot on. I think she realises there is a lot more pressure (wrongly) on her as a woman so is even more careful when making decisions.

I wonder if she'll ever become a referee, maybe the players would think twice about screaming in the referee's face if it was a woman.

by GSC Sun 13 Jan 2013, 11:39 am

Terry wouldn't.

by GSC Sun 13 Jan 2013, 2:12 pm

Joe Allen is having an awful game.

by lfc91 Sun 13 Jan 2013, 2:29 pm

Not surprised GSC hes an awful player. Downing even worse. Lucky to only be 1-0 down.

by Ent Sun 13 Jan 2013, 2:57 pm

Thought rafael had learnt, back to the drawing board for him.

Job done, crappy performance but Liverpool are terrible.

Read somewhere that Citeh returned over half the tickets because they are 60 quid. Really is a heck of a lot if money. By the time you pay for travel and beer you're looking at 150 quid for a match.

by **Hero** Sun 13 Jan 2013, 3:33 pm

I rarely go now to Premier League games due to the sheer expense of them whilst I can go to watch Macclesfield with my eldest son, get in, have some food and have change from £30.
Also we're home for just after 5pm instead of being stuck in traffic for a good couple of hours.

by The Special Juan Sun 13 Jan 2013, 3:35 pm

Who swapped Liverpool at half-time? They were very good 2nd half and deserved a point.

Which is just ridiculous. Fair play to the City fans for waiving.

They were in fairness, also there were a couple of times when Suarez was bursting through in the box, had players close to him and he could have easily have gone looking for a penalty yet in fairness he stayed on his feet, we're all quick to jump on his back the moment he goes to ground or handballs etc but he didn't today.

So were praising him for not blatantly cheating?

by **Hero** Sun 13 Jan 2013, 4:00 pm

Not praising him so to speak but acknowledging that he didn't live up to the reputation he's been given. It's refreshing to finish a game between Utd and Liverpool and it not being blighted by something controversial that blights the game.

Indeed, I don't think he was clipped at any point during the game but he didn't go down looking for anything and was sporting at times, e.g. after he fouled (Vidic?) in the first half he tapped his hand afterwards. A long way to go to redeem himself but he was a "good guy" today.

by Ent Sun 13 Jan 2013, 4:08 pm

Why does it need acknowledged?

by Ent Sun 13 Jan 2013, 4:10 pm

Got to laugh at arsenal, they are just so so terrible at the back.

by **Hero** Sun 13 Jan 2013, 4:13 pm

Because everyone is quick to acknowledge when there is controversy so as parity I'm addressing it. Why does it not need to be mentioned that both sides played the game fairly and without controversy Id be more concerned over, that we have become a nation that's quick to pour scorn as a lynch mob but the moment two heated rivals actually just play football we cannot discuss that?

by Ent Sun 13 Jan 2013, 4:25 pm

We can if you want but you didn't bring that up.

Arsenal are so poor, it's sad really.

by Hulking_up Sun 13 Jan 2013, 4:33 pm

Don't think today is a going to be a good day to have 2 Arsenal defenders in my dream team.

I don't think this season is mate!

by Lumbering_Jack Sun 13 Jan 2013, 5:35 pm

Poor decision by Mike Dean. Not even sure I'd have it as a foul.

by Ent Sun 13 Jan 2013, 5:36 pm

Kompany is stupid he's been sent off for that before - 2 footed tackles are red cards.

No they aren't.

And it wasn't 2 footed anyway.
