2012/13 Premier League discussion thread Part 6

[Guest]

As you were...

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Turner out for Saturday, Bassong fit, Ruddy might be back.

Kei Kamara decision to be made by Monday.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Im gonna guess thats not a decision on whether he is fit to play. "Kei's fit for the Villa game boss" "Great news, but its monday now".

Toon can be in a right load of trouble if the dressing room split that the Telegraph revealed is true. It was enough to get them banned from St James' Park. Wonder whether Pards is a wife of a player again like he was supposedly doing at West Ham before he got sacked.

Very excited for this weekend of football. The Championship relegation fight is going to be ridiculous tension and every game in the Prem counts at the bottom and the top four finish

[Amy]

nah to turn his loan perm or not chris
bassong fit for the game is huge bonus
more clappers on saturday olly FTW

[NickisBHAFC]

Clappers

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

YES AMY YOU KNOW!

Didn't see you doing that when Bayern Munich had them Nick...#justsaying

[Amy]

they had goal music too

[NickisBHAFC]

Should be banned from pro football and thrown into non league where they belong.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Agreed, clappers and music are nearly as bad as Reading's planned "inflatable day".

[westisbest]

My predictions.

Fulham 3 Reading 1
Norwich 1 Villa 2
Swansea 2 Man City 2
Spurs 2 Saints 1
Baggies 1 Wigan 1
West Ham 2 Newcastle 0
QPR 1 Arsenal 2

Liverpool 2 Everton 1
Man Utd 2 Chelsea 2

Sunderland 3 Stoke 1

[GSC]

Yeah, I saw those clappers.

Horrendous.

[Gregers]

If Wigan don't win this weekend they wont stay up

If they do Norwich or Newcastle to go down

[westisbest]

Anyone's guess.

If we lose to Norwich, Wigan dont lose.

Then I think could all be on last game of season.

Wigan play Swansea home tuesday, think they'll get 3 points. At the worst that would put them on 35, 37 for us if lose tomorrow.

Dont think we'll beat Chelsea next saturday(lose).

Wigan to lose to Arsenal.

Last agme of the season us 37 points.
Wigan 35.


Now Newcastle/Sunderland could still be on 37 going into last game, but think they will have more points by then.

So to summerise.

We need 3 fkng points tomorrow.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I really hope this time tomorrow I'll be typing off the back of 3 points...

I'm so excited for the game! Such a big game

[Guest]

The Wigan match intrigues me the most. They fail to win that ( a point isn't enough) then I'd wager my life on them going down.

Shame the Nodge game wasn't booked for TV. Instead we got QPR/Arsenal!

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Fulham 2 Reading 0
Norwich 1 Villa 1 (Bassong and Turner playing a cross-field overhead kick 1-2 that ends in a Bassong scorpion kick into the net from 40 yards)
Swansea 1 Man City 2
Spurs 2 Saints 0
WBA 1 Wigan 1
West Ham 1 Newcastle 1
QPR 0 Arsenal 2

Liverpool 2 Everton 2
Man Utd 1 Chelsea 2

Sunderland 3 Stoke 1

[Guest]

Norwich 1 Villa 1 (Bassong and Turner playing a cross-field overhead kick 1-2 that ends in a Bassong scorpion kick into the net from 40 yards)

You had that dream too?

[westisbest]

Now I predicted Benteke to get a hatrick monday night.

He needs 2 more goals to hit the 20 league goals this season.

I rekon he'll do it today.

If he does, i'll list off the lottery numbers later.

[Guest]

What will be will be today. If Wigan win at WBA and Newcastle lose, as expected to West Ham, then I can see us going down. Going to be nervous wait now, I just hope we turn up.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Now off down Carrow Road!

A win today sees us safe.
A loss puts us in the mire.
A draw is either good/bad depending on the Wigan result.

Just hope we can put in a good performance!

[Duty281]

Predictions then:

Fulham 1-0 Reading
Norwich 2-2 Aston Villa
Swansea 1-2 Man City
Tottenham 2-1 Southampton
West Brom 0-1 Wigan
West Ham 2-0 Newcastle
QPR 0-3 Arsenal

Liverpool 0-2 Everton
Man Utd 1-1 Chelsea

Sunderland 2-0 Stoke

[The Special Juan]

I can see Carroll coming back to haunt Newcastle today.

[Guest]

Baggies lead and Wigan's task gets even harder.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

This West Ham Newcastle game is absolutely Kieron/Nathan/Lloyd.

Newcastle have tightened up and we look a bit bored. I think their extra motivation might snap up a goal in the second half unless Sam gets into the lads at half time

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Being in a relegation battle with Wigan is horrible

[Duty281]

Wigan 2-1 down, have turned it around to 2-3 up. Never write Wigan off, never ever. Villa are 2-1 up now in the 89th minute which would take them to 40 points = safety?

[Guest]

Being in a relegation battle with Wigan is horrible

They are like a dog with a bone. They look doomed year after year but somehow find a way. Boy do they find a way!

[Guest]

Wigan 2-1 down, have turned it around to 2-3 up. Never write Wigan off, never ever. Villa are 2-1 up now in the 89th minute which would take them to 40 points = safety?

I'd say so Duty.

[GSC]

Sunderland, Newcastle and Norwich now in it

[The Special Juan]

Yeah I think Villa are fine now. Norwich are in trouble but should they stay up I don't think they'll be scrapping for survival again. Newcastle..... well they're a point closer after visiting a difficult place to go.

[Guest]

Norwich are not going to want to go into their last game needing anything.

Man City away.

[Galted]

My predictions.


Norwich 1 Villa 2

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Sunderland *should* beat Stoke. All three above Wigan have winnable fixtures next weekend. Norwich home to west brom, Sunderland home to Southampton and Newcastle at QPR. Could see Chelsea beating Villa which means if Wigan beat Swansea they will definitely have something to play for on the final day against Villa. Probably still have Newcastle and maybe Norwich in their sights on goal difference at least

[Duty281]

Tottenham have scored in the 86th minute to go 1 nil up and reignite their top 4 challenge. I don't need to tell you who scored.

[The Special Juan]

Bale's POTY because every goal he's scored this season has been a raker, no doubt.

[Duty281]

I was going to write that the pressure is massively on Arsenal, but Walcott has scored in the first minute so maybe not.

[Guest]

Did I hear that right? QPR's pitch is 17 years old?

[The Special Juan]

How many? I'll say 4 or 5.

Hull need to bring Geovanni back. That guy could take a free-kick.

[JamesLincs]

checked my phone at 5 to 5 and it said spurs were 0-0. i had a horrible drive home, i get home to find out it was 1-0, i wondered why my phone was so quiet

[westisbest]

Wigan 2-1 down, have turned it around to 2-3 up. Never write Wigan off, never ever. Villa are 2-1 up now in the 89th minute which would take them to 40 points = safety?

I'd say so Duty.

Not yet we're not.

Wigan beat Swansea, they go to 38 points.
Sunderland beat Stoke 40 points, beat saints 43 points.
Newcastle beat QPR 40 points.

We lose to Chelsea 40 points.

Then Wigan go to Arsenal. lose, than could be between few clubs on last day.
Wigan beat us 41 points. If other results go against us,,we will go down.

[Guest]

We are an embarrasing outfit with absolutely no goal threat whatsover. I fear for Newcastle now, I really do.

[Duty281]

Arsenal win 1 nil. Chelsea v Tottenham on Wednesday is massive!

[Nakatomi Plaza]

Sunderland/Stoke is a massive game for Stoke now. If they lose that, then Wigan beat Swansea, they'll only be 3 points clear of the drop zone. Everyone in the bottom half got to be praying for Swansea to do them a favour midweek.

[westisbest]

Arsenal win 1 nil. Chelsea v Tottenham on Wednesday is massive!

Hoping for a Chelsea win.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Cisse had that one chance off the line (don't ask me I still can't decide if it was over or not) and then spent the rest of the game defending and I have no idea why. He just drifted back into poor challenges and was barely a nuisance. There's no way he was instructed to do that, it was baffling. Definitely rode luck at times but the defence fought for the point, showed some guts that had been missing. If QPR grind at you like they did (eventually) against arsenal then you'll need a spark from somewhere

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Absolutely gutted.
Really thought we were worth more than a point today but to be sucker punched like that, well I cant describe how I feel.

West Brom at home is probably the biggest game we've had since forever.

If we go down we deserve it we've been Poopie second half of the season.

[Guest]

0-0 with newcastle....im actually dissapointed with that

[GSC]

Could be worse olly

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Well the only thing that went sort of ok today was that Newcastle didn't win.

Other than that its been horrendous.

As has your day I imagine GSC

[Guest]

Olly, you got to think you've got a great chance of beating WBA. So disappointed in WBA today allowing Wigan to win, basically Clarke's boys have nothing to play for now and that worries me, in terms of Newcastle's hopes. I just don't know where our next goal is coming from and we don't need to beat QPR next weekend, we have to beat them. It's even getting to the point where if Villa get something from the Chelsea game then they could be safe before they even play Wigan at the end. Norwich would have Man City & we would have Arsenal. Hoping that Spurs are already out of the top 4 chase before the season ending games and Arsenal can sit back and relax and gift us three points.
