Barclays Premier League 13/14 Thread

[GSC]

First topic message reminder :

It was always going to be hard for Hughton.

The Norwich family never really took to him as one of their own

[mystiroakey]

I think Wenger sees many of his players as direct replacements so can rotate bar flamini who for me needs to play over arteta if fit

[NickisBHAFC]

Now that is an amazing tackle.

[mystiroakey]

two high quality defensive units going at it today!!

Not the best game though

[Dolphin Ziggler]

What control? In the air I can more likely pull my legs out if need be. On the deck I'm tied to the restrictions of the ground holding my legs in position.

Im not saying its a good thing to do, but you cant really judge tackles on hypotheticals. Hypothetically, every tackle carries risk if its timed poorly. I think intent and the actual contact should be of more importance than positioning.

[kingraf]

Why exactly do you put Flamini above Arteta, Mystir? I have them roughly even, tbh.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

You jumping is completely different to jumping two footed in to a tackle though isn't it Olly? Could Brady have stopped himself in midair? Could he control the force at which he is going to make contact at? Doubtful, you jumping up and down is completely different.

Of course he could control himself. He could pull his legs away in mid air. If he's sliding on the ground like Dolph says he's probably got less chance of getting out the way

[NickisBHAFC]

0-0 written all over this game.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

0-0 written all over this game.

1-0 Soldado dodgy pen if this season is anything to go by

[NickisBHAFC]

Kevin Freind really is a cr*p ref.

[Hammersmith harrier]

Coleman was too honest there but good to see a player get to his feet instead of rolling around.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Ouch...

[NickisBHAFC]

Hugo Lloris what a tw*t

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Kevin Friend stands out as a beacon of crap in a sea of refereeing mediocrity.

[Hammersmith harrier]

Hugo Lloris what a tw*t

huh?

[NickisBHAFC]

Should of got of the pitch, instead holding up everyone's time. Did he really need to act like a baby over playing the last 15 minutes of a game, its also not like Tottenham have a crap 2nd choice keeper!

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Hugo Lloris what a tw*t

huh?

Come on Hammersmith, how dare he have the temerity to take his time after being nearly knocked out!  

[Hammersmith harrier]

You don't half talk some rubbish, Lloris was well within his rights to wait until he was ready to continue especially as a goalkeeper.

[NickisBHAFC]

How good is that Spanish lad that has come on for Everton, think we were linked with him in the summer!

[NickisBHAFC]

Cardiff team v Swansea: Marshall, Taylor, Caulker, Turner, Whittingham, Medel, Odemwingie, Mutch, Cowie, Theophile-Catherine, Bellamy

Swansea team v Cardiff: Vorm, Rangel, Williams, Chico, Taylor, Britton, Shelvey, de Guzman, Routledge, Dyer, Mich

[NickisBHAFC]

What a rubbish game.

[CFCNick]

Great result.

[mystiroakey]

9 Mins of injury time.

There may as well of been 900 mins and there still wouldn't have been a goal

[Duty281]

Hugo Lloris what a tw*t

How many facepalms are enough for this comment?

 

[mystiroakey]

Great result.

A Chelsea fan worried about a top 4!!!

[Duty281]

I think the phrase is: Both teams cancelled each other out. Tottenham were the better in the first half, and Everton were the better in the second. Both teams had a solid defence, a midfield with glimpses of quality, and an isolated frontman.

And both teams should have had a penalty.

Absorbing game nonetheless.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Indeed, dull in some senses but absorbing in that it did feel like two good teams were just battling each other out, with the quality to open it up maybe.

[NickisBHAFC]

9 Mins of injury time.

There may as well of been 900 mins and there still wouldn't have been a goal

This.

Both sides im sure will be happy with a point.

Incredibly Tottenham have 1 more point than Citeh, but have scored 19 goal less.

Got to love the Premier league!

[mystiroakey]

That pic represents an awesome stat and we are only 10 games in!!

[NickisBHAFC]

Atmosphere is class in the Cardiff City stadium!

[Dolphin Ziggler]

I hope this kicks off, so i can then be indignantly angry about it.

[NickisBHAFC]

Im sure it will Chris, for games like this, it just attracts people to go and cause trouble rather than have much care about the football game itself!

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

If ever a game needed a goal...

[compelling and rich]

today is most definitely not a super sunday of football!!

[NickisBHAFC]

0-0 written all over this one as well! Dire first half.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Was there even a shot on target?

[mystiroakey]

both teams are scared of losing, Swansea need to commit more players up the field for this to become a game.

[NickisBHAFC]

What are people opinions of half and half scarfs?

They have got them for today's game between Cardiff and Swansea. Personally i would never wear a scarf with another side's logo on it, and 100% not my rivals logo!

Half and half scarfs, like clappers, goal music, and drums need to be banned from football and in the bin where they belong!!!

[mystiroakey]

If you can point me to a palace Brighton one. I will buy it

[NickisBHAFC]

We haven't released one, probably because our clubs know it would be a stupid idea!

Just wondered what people think of half and half scarfs, can't imagine many Cardiff and Swansea fans brought them today!

[mystiroakey]

I am going to make one.

In regards to Cardiff and Swansea- i think many would have bought it for the historic first PL derby game.

[NickisBHAFC]

Hmmmm that is true, but im just saying in general i can't stand them. I suppose for once in a life time games e.g. Manchester United vs Crawley Town, Burton Albion, Exeter City scarfs for those games are a nice little thing to have to say you've been to the game a bit like a match program.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

It's a scarf. Who really cares

[Guest]

What a shocking day in the EPL. Next Sunday needs to roll around quickly - triple bill of games.

[mystiroakey]

If there was a scarf that read "Brighton v SCUM"

I am sure Nick would spend his parents money on it!

[NickisBHAFC]

Yeah next Sunday should be decent!

Tottenham vs Newcastle - 12:00
Sunderland vs Man City - 14:05
Man United vs Arsenal - 16:10

But the biggest game is on ITV, with Bishop Stortford taking on Northampton, followed by the FA Cup 2nd round draw  

[NickisBHAFC]

Okay now i feel bad

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24797343

Sorry hugo  

[kingraf]

Seems like only a season ago when Utd fans were saying Arsenal-Utd games where no longer a big deal. How prophetic.

[NickisBHAFC]

Bored, so stuck £5 on Bellamy to score first.

£60 back.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Caulker Nick, 1-0
