Barclays Premier League 13/14 Thread

First topic message reminder :

Lamela is the biggest waste of money ever

[GSC]

Giroud gets goals to be fair to him. Might not be the most dynamic player but someone has to put the service to use.

Arsenal are top with a few big injuries

[mystiroakey]

Aye. Watford may have been a slightly better team than palace but they exploted a loophole to get where they did. Luckily that loop hole is now closed....

Brighton. I have no beef with them at all tbh. And in a way I miss that minor rivalry from being on the same division. What is pretty much nailed on is that we are going down and they are staying put though. 2014 will be a top year ad hopefully palace will be in a good place to go back up with a years experience at the top flight under our belts.

[Duty281]

Palace are a waste of a premiership side. Watford and Brighton would of added a lot more to the prem instead of just signing old cloggers who aren't good enough for this level anymore. (This isn't a fishing post)

Rather have Palace than Brighton in this league for one simple reason: Quality.

(This isn't a fishing post either you understand )

[mystiroakey]

Btw everyone. Now that Bolaise is fit, you are going to see some quality wing play...

[Fernando]

Provided he doesn't do a "Wilfried" and start nailing the bosses daughter.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Still think that's a penalty on Pilks

I'd love to know what you see differently that makes it not...

I dont think theres a foul there. I think theres body contact but I dont think the leg has anything to do with the fall. Pilkington isnt strong enough.

Man Utd fans ladies and gentlemen...

(And I still think it's a foul, but we'd have probably missed it anyways!)

Ah glory hunters. They do make me laugh with their total lack of footballing intellect.

[Hero]

Can't call you a glory hunter with your love for the national team.

And so the Cardiff meltdown begins...

[westisbest]

Benteke as a worst case scenario...I still think he was the striker Spurs needed...

Would'nt surprise me if Benteke leaves in the summer.

I hear he is fit to play for Belgium next week,(think they just need a point to qualify).

Hope he will be able to play some part in the Spurs game.

When he came off at Norwich, he should have stayed off.

[mystiroakey]

I cant see how villa will realise him for international duty!!

[CFCNick]

[mystiroakey]

 

best week for united for a very long time!!

[compelling and rich]

i frigging hate international week, what the hell am i going to do on Saturday now!!

[mystiroakey]

go cinema and watch filth!

[mystiroakey]

or go out and watch the england game friday- get totally hammered and sleep through it all!

[compelling and rich]

may be on to something there mysti!!

normally need a few drinks to get through a england game these days as well, not exactly enthralling watching us these days

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

The one thing I miss about League 1 is that we played during international weeks.

Just as football is getting good, we have a break!! Argh

[mystiroakey]

by the way 'filth' isn't porn or anything- its an actual film (great book from ivine welsh (same writer as trainspotting)) jujst incase anyone was wondering - wha is he going on about..


I am going to watch it saturday myself!!

[NickisBHAFC]

Ill be watching FA Cup 3rd Qualifying Round football. Lewes vs Sutton United. 

Go and watch a local non league side!

[mystiroakey]

You are watching sutton  !! You couldn't pay me to watch them!

But well done for supporting the non leaguers!

[NickisBHAFC]

There a league above Lewes, so im hoping for a cup upset. For your information Mysti, Sutton are 3rd in there league and promotion would see them in the top flight of non league football.

[Duty281]

Good advice Nick.  

And who doesn't like watching England these days? Dig deep, heart and soul, into the trenches, bacon sandwich, spirit of Agincourt, over the top, and 'ere we go again! Bring on Johnny Foreigner, wherever he may be!*

*Please note, this is purely in jest.

are they. I just hate sutton with a passion(the town that is)

UP THE LEWES!!

[NickisBHAFC]

Im enjoying watching Lewes more than Brighton this season tbh.

[mystiroakey]

I do understand why you are not enjoying your turgid season with brighton. You look awful!!

At least you are getting some enjoyment out of football from Lewes(bar watching palace lose each week off course  )

DEAL WITH THE LACK OF DEBT BITCHES  

[Guest]

[NickisBHAFC]

[mystiroakey]

An insight into the Cardiff situation.

All gonna end in tears

[mystiroakey]

thats pretty terrible if its true!!

cardiff could be in financial striffe

[GSC]

Gotta appreciate our owner actually caring about the teams history.

[mystiroakey]

All i can say is that i feel safe that palace haven't just gone crazy. Yes we might not be winning anything- But we still be about next year!

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Yes I'm very happy we've got Delia and co, with McNally steering the ship.

I don't even wanna imagine how I would feel if my club appointed a 23 year old Kazakh with no football experience as head of recruitment

http://www.pinkun.com/norwich-city/norwich_city_s_premier_league_target_this_season_is_top_10_finish_says_chairman_alan_bowkett_1_2872472

Budgeted for a 16th placed finish, but top 10 is the aim this year says the Chairman. No pressure Mr Hughton

[mystiroakey]

Thats aiming a little bit to high dude!!

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Meh not really, we finished 12th and 11th the past two years and that was without anything near the investment of this summer.

Don't think a 10th placed finish is that much of a reach, anybody in that mid table scrum should be aiming for it really

[mystiroakey]

well it seems pretty sequential doesn't it!

I didn't realise you have finished so high tbh!!

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

well it seems pretty sequential doesn't it!

I didn't realise you have finished so high tbh!!

Yeah in next ten years we're gonna go 10th, 9th, 8th, 7th, 6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd then 1st Mysti. The rise of Norwich  

[Guest]

NUFC make an enquiry about Micah Richards. Interesting.

Albion's last three finishes:

8th
10th
11th

We're aiming for top 6 this season

I'm not sure he'll be able to pick up the language!

His next move should be west ham, Sam would sort him out

[GSC]

Richards is the best English RB when fit

[NickisBHAFC]

Richards has always had an attitude problem, i have always said he should play RB for England without question, but after his whole attitude with Euro 2012 and refusing to be apart of the stand by squad, i find him a bit of a toss er.

[Guest]

He could have been an England great. What was it, 10 caps when he was 18/19? He could have passed 50 already if not for injuries and staying at Citeh far too long.

[Ent]

Meh he's just not that good, an athlete more than a footballer - he can barely kick the thing.

If he can't get a game for city why should he be starting for his country?

[GSC]

That logic makes sense if Pablo Zabaleta wasn't better than every English RB.

[compelling and rich]

Agree with others about his attitude

I dont think his "injuries" are purely game related. Doesnt look after himself, always out partying
