Adebayor has been outstanding.

by NickisBHAFC Sun 22 Dec 2013, 3:07 pm

Howard, Coleman, Oviedo, Jagielka, Distin, McCarthy, Barry, Mirallas, Pienaar, Barkley, Lukaku .

Tremmel, Tiendalli, Chico, Williams, Davies, Canas, Shelvey, de Guzman, Routledge, Hernandez, Bony.

Teams in what should be great game between Swansea and Everton.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun 22 Dec 2013, 3:21 pm

Before AVB was sacked I was pretty sure we were gonna get Adebayor on loan. Damn fate

by NickisBHAFC Sun 22 Dec 2013, 3:27 pm

Great game.

4-4-2 works!!!!

Very impressed with both sides. Good game of football.

Cardiff owner Vincent Tan has lifted his threat to sack manager Malky Mackay and the pair will hold talks in an attempt to salvage their relationship.
Tan sent Mackay an email last Monday telling him to resign or be sacked.
But with the 41-year-old Scot refusing to walk away voluntarily, Tan is now prepared for a possible reconciliation
When asked if the ultimatum had been withdrawn, Cardiff chairman Mehmet Dalman said: "For the time being, yes. The crisis for the time being is over."
He added: that Mackay was is "in charge for the foreseeable future and will be until something else happens".

He was superb last season and at the start of this. His form has really dropped since his injury against Everton.
Tottenham should rest him a few weeks and give Friedal some games.

by NickisBHAFC Sun 22 Dec 2013, 4:51 pm

Boring 1st half. 0-0.

by NickisBHAFC Sun 22 Dec 2013, 5:22 pm

THAT IS A PING!!!

Swansea 0-1 Everton. Great goal by Sheamus Coleman.

by NickisBHAFC Sun 22 Dec 2013, 5:26 pm

GOAL!

Swansea 1-1 Everton. Leroy Lita look alike with the goal.

Why o why do Swansea play goal music Laugh

by Bull Sun 22 Dec 2013, 5:27 pm

What's wrong with Goal Music? Something wrong with them trying to be different?
This game should get going now hopefully.

by NickisBHAFC Sun 22 Dec 2013, 5:34 pm

It's plastic and fake.

Sides who can't create an atmosphere. Just as bad as sides who bring a drum or even worse clappers!

Each to their own I guess. Agree to Disagree. Smile

Reckon Everton may nick this one.

by NickisBHAFC Sun 22 Dec 2013, 5:40 pm

OMG WHAT A GOAL BY ROSS BARKLEY!!!

This lad just gets better and better. Woy please start him at the World Cup!!!

2-1

by Bull Sun 22 Dec 2013, 5:43 pm

Did that goal go in before or after my comment? Laugh

by Duty281 Sun 22 Dec 2013, 5:45 pm

Nice winner there by ~~Gascoigne~~ ~~Rooney~~ Barkley.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 22 Dec 2013, 5:46 pm

Ross Barkley is good at football #analysis

by Duty281 Sun 22 Dec 2013, 5:51 pm

Good day for England prospects Adam Lallana and Ross Barkley.

by socal1976 Mon 23 Dec 2013, 5:59 am

If Frank Lampard and Aaron Lemon, I mean Lennon go to the world cup and Barkley doesn't then they should banish Hodgson to the Falklands like Napoleon at Elba.

by **hampo17** Mon 23 Dec 2013, 7:31 am

When I was going to watch Wrexham they played goal music, so did a lot of the lower league teams. Had nothing to do with the atmosphere.

by mystiroakey Mon 23 Dec 2013, 9:59 am

Talking about added value and entertainment at PL games.

I would love to see Tan wrestle a bear like ferrel did in semi pro

That'd be a fantastic half time side show Myst. I'd buy a ticket.

Yeah Bayern play goal music. They don't seem to struggle with atmosphere

by mystiroakey Mon 23 Dec 2013, 10:38 am

Is bayern goal music just

GOAL GOAL GOAL GOAL repeated?

by westisbest Mon 23 Dec 2013, 10:43 am

If we don't start picking up points soon, then think it will be bye bye Paul.

Wouldn't say i want him out, but he needs to sort something out in januay.

Centre back is top priority.

Tekkers has been pish poor since his injury.
Wasn't even on the bench sat.

Strong rumours that he will be off in january.

Palace & Swansea this week.

Palace draw
Swansea loss.

Sunderland away nyd, draw.

Gonna be back in the relegation battle again this season.
Fun times.

Don't want this to sound like a rant, its just concerning, despite it only being christmas.

by Guest Mon 23 Dec 2013, 10:47 am

Lloris has always had that in his game. He basically sees himself as a goalkeeper first & sweeper second. He's too excitable when the ball is played through & just loves rushing out. Will cost you four or five goals a season in my opinion. The fact he always punches the ball irritates the hell out of me, when he could just catch it. AVB was too stubborn to change to a 4-4-2, cost him his job.

Barkley........I love this kid. That's all I can say on him.

@Mystioakey - I know that selected group, only a few will challenge but just thought I'd add the supposedly world class strikers to the list, just to see how they are doing this year. Also Guiseppe Rossi now has 14 goals this season.

by mystiroakey Mon 23 Dec 2013, 10:52 am

I am kind of shocked to see so much about Lloris and not Gazzaniga.

I thought the later was shocking

by mystiroakey Mon 23 Dec 2013, 10:54 am

The palace villa game is going to be a close one- and a must win for both really. I can see a boring 0-0

by Guest Mon 23 Dec 2013, 11:00 am

Yeah, Gazzaniga is shocking but it's more because Lloris is held in such high regard & being the french no.1. I just feel with hugo, there's always a mistake in him, which is never a good sign. His obsession with rushing out & acting like the sweeper just would worry me.

by mystiroakey Mon 23 Dec 2013, 11:03 am

The french have allways had a nutty keeper- Its part of there make up.

by westisbest Mon 23 Dec 2013, 11:04 am

Could well be mysti.

by JamesLincs Mon 23 Dec 2013, 12:33 pm

anyone taking advantage of bet365's offer tonight?

by Fernando Mon 23 Dec 2013, 12:37 pm

Malky Mackay calls press conference for 1pm.

by NickisBHAFC Mon 23 Dec 2013, 1:40 pm

As expected apparently. So don't expect much.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 23 Dec 2013, 7:26 pm

Arguably the biggest match in the season so far approaches and this place has gone quiet!

Hears some noise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwQDXWfmsSo

Massive game tonight. Not sure if I can call it. If Mourinho gets it right then Chelsea might frustrate Arsenal better than anyone. Pure ability means Arsenal have it in them to win it. Koscielny a big loss but Torres is the striker. He gets himself up for big games though, could he produce something tonight?

Is it Rosicky over Flamini? I'd expect Chelsea to restrict playing space ahead of the front four and Ramires and Hazard to stretch the counter.

Exciting times ahead of Christmas. Personally I want a draw and loads of sendings off, only cos we play Arsenal on Boxing Day and we cant beat that team.

by Fernando Mon 23 Dec 2013, 7:28 pm

Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Ramsey, Arteta, Walcott, Ozil, Rosicky, Giroud. Subs: Podolski, Monreal, Cazorla, Flamini, Fabianski, Bendtner, Jenkinson.
Chelsea: Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta, Mikel, Lampard, Ramires, Willian, Hazard, Torres. Subs: Cole, Luiz, Mata, Oscar, Schurrle, Schwarzer, Eto'o.
Referee: Mike Dean (Wirral)

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 23 Dec 2013, 7:30 pm

Disappointed not to see Cazorla, one of my favourite players in the league

by Fernando Mon 23 Dec 2013, 7:35 pm

Same been struggling with niggly injuries this season. Have to say id probably play Flamini tonight to make us more solid down the midddle.

That being said since Ozil has come in off the RW due to Theo's returning he's not been as effective as he was at the start.

by Guest Mon 23 Dec 2013, 7:36 pm

I'm tipping Chelsea to get something here. 1-1.

by **Crimey** Mon 23 Dec 2013, 7:39 pm

Yeah, not sure Wenger has selected the best team available, probably needs a little more steel in there, asking Arteta and Ramsey to do a lot more defensive work than usual.

Both managers have been cautious, so I'm expecting a low-scoring draw. Not a lot of goals in Chelsea's side at all.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 23 Dec 2013, 7:44 pm

Id agree that Flamini is a big miss, which even goes further to prove right those of us in the summer who thought he was a bargain (including Allardyce who tried to get him!)

by Fernando Mon 23 Dec 2013, 7:47 pm

I think the return of Podolski could be interesting gives us different option off the bench he's more direct then Giroud.

by It Must Be Love Mon 23 Dec 2013, 8:16 pm

Arsenal have started well here, as expected.

by It Must Be Love Mon 23 Dec 2013, 8:17 pm

I suspect Chelsea will win this 1-0 with a goal from a midfielder/ defender, Jose knows what he's doing.
