Barclays Premier League 13/14 Thread Part 'x'

[Ent]

First topic message reminder :

Mancini was terrible, how I wish he was still there.

Should have walked the league the last 2 years with the squad he had and gotten out of his cl groups.

[mystiroakey]

Carrol and Nolan again.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Can someone confirm if West Ham look a different team with Andy Carroll playing?

[mystiroakey]

Yes. Different league..

[NickisBHAFC]

Why are Burnley good at football, annoys me.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Laudrup's seat warming up...only 7 wins in 33 games since the Carling Cup Final...

[mystiroakey]

He will blame it on Uefa ..

Swansea play nice footy, but boy they need some better defenders...

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I've always maintained Ashley Williams is incredibly overrated, and always will.

Swansea just being bullied today

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Also somewhere inside Upton Park, Dolph is having a orgasm over Andy Carroll...

[mystiroakey]

And somewhere in Newcastle sat behind a PC John is massaging his gun.

[mystiroakey]

And Dolph has just text john to save him a bullet..

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

That's never a red card in a million years, Flores is an absolute disgrace

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Norwich City FC ‏@NorwichCityFC 4m
#NCFC team v @CardiffCityFC: Ruddy; Martin, R Bennett, Bassong (c), Olsson; Snodgrass, Tettey, Johnson, Gutierrez; Elmander, Hooper.

Norwich City FC ‏@NorwichCityFC 3m
#NCFC subs v @CardiffCityFC: Bunn (GK), Whittaker, van Wolfswinkel, Fer, Pilkington, Becchio, Redmond.

Please please tell me that team is some sort of sick joke. Johnson, Elmander and Gutierrez all starting?!

If we can keep the ball at all I'll be shocked

[Champagne_Socialist]

hahah andy carroll sent off hahah, the guy is not worth 15 million and will now miss another 3 games.

[Guest]

Amazing that Ki Sung Yueng wasn't needed at Swansea, been impressed with him this season. Laudrup will leave this summer, he doesn't get on with Jenkins & those signings have been shocking.

[Champagne_Socialist]

That's never a red card in a million years, Flores is an absolute disgrace

you could see he was flailing his arm to hit him.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

It should be rescinded, never a red card. You obviously missed the first 60 mins of the game as well

[The Fourth Lion]

I think Howard Webb made a right call there, in accordance with the laws of the game which, after all, is what he's there for.

The trouble with referees is that they just don't care who wins the match.

Of course, Andy Carroll is the only person who knows for sure whether or not his swinging arm was intentional and whether or not he knew Flores was in line for a smack in the chops, but the official has to go by what it looks like to him and my view of it agrees with Howard Webb's. It looked, at the very least, reckless and dangerous. And that makes it a red card offence.

Flores..? Well, I would agree that he rather gilded the lily, but Andy Carroll would have done the same if the situations were reversed. He too would have hit the ground like a sack of spuds. That doesn't make it right but Carroll can't have any complaint. He's not a naïve innocent, is he..?

Flores will no doubt be given the tiresome, tedious booooooo treatment by the West Ham fans <yawn>. I don't think that will bother Flores one bit.

The best thing West Ham can do to exact revenge on him is to win the game.

yeh he had a good game but he doesn't score enough goals or get enough assists. Always said he was worth about 7 million.

He did flil his arm and we need to eradicate that kind of behaviour from the EPL. it is dangerous behavior.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

No creativity, no pace and no flair in side today. Its gonna be a long long 90 minutes

[NickisBHAFC]

Strange i thought it was a red card. None the less over reaction from Chico. But still a red for me.

[Guest]

Wilfried Zaha on the bench. Mysti get those tissues ready for a clean up, sometime around the 60th minute.

[Guest]

What a job Poyet is doing at Sunderland. On a par with Pulis' work easily.

They looked condemned a month ago.

[NickisBHAFC]

The difference with Pulis and Poyet though, Pulis had a terrible squad to work with and is making it work superbly well. Poyet had a decent squad with money to spend, so as expected is making it work.

[GSC]

I'd say moreso. Pulis has the players to implement his style, Poyet has Sunderland playing some nice stuff

[Guest]

deja vu from last season 0-3   

[GSC]

More importantly, hes got Adam Johnson playing

[Guest]

Possibly Nick but Poyet has done well to totally transform a squad devoid of confidence and moral.

However if Pulis does keep Palace up then he'll be my manager of the season for sure.

[The Fourth Lion]

I trust your comparison was in terms of results only. I think Gus Poyet would be horrified at the thought of being compared with Tony Pulis in footballing terms.

Of course Lion you wily old fox you.

Always rated him.

West Ham 2-0 Swansea. 

Swansea awful, good thing they signed David NGog and Marvin Emnes.

[Champagne_Socialist]

Newcastle had 28 shots and still didn't score.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Newcastle had 28 shots and still didn't score.

Same story as when they played us on Tuesday then.

[Bull]

Some worrying news for Arsenal supporters coming out of Sweden, with reports that loan signing Kim Kallstrom has suffered a nightmare start to life in the Premier League after picking up an injury that will keep him out of action for the next two to three months.

Leading tabloid newspaper Aftonbladet say the Sweden international picked up the knock in his first training session at his new club following his deadline-day move from Spartak Moscow. This has not been confirmed or denied by the Gunners, who next play on Sunday when they host Crystal Palace.

[mystiroakey]

I agree with nick to an extent. We are not terrible, but sunderlands squad is better overall.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Snodgrass scores!

You're welcome Freeky

[Guest]

Snodgrass scores!

You're welcome Freeky

Lovely stuff   

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Cardiff an absolute shambles at the back so far, making us look an attacking force

[Bull]

Hopefully Cardiff win...

[Ent]

Evans injured for united so rafael on and smalling to centre half.

I can see crouch peeling to Rafael's side and long balls being pumped up to him already.

[NickisBHAFC]

Hull 1-0 Tottenham.

Shane Long. Great signing that.

[Hammersmith harrier]

I'm glad to see Jones starting at centre back, we haven't lost with him playing there this season.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Wilfried Zaha on the bench. Mysti get those tissues ready for a clean up, sometime around the 60th minute.

38th minute, change Zaha for Whittingham. Solskjaer not happy

[GSC]

Charlie Adam puts Stoke 1-0 up

[Bull]

Carrick Own Goal?

[mystiroakey]

who was that dodgy feick trying to get Zaha sent off

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

who was that dodgy feick trying to get Zaha sent off

Well judging by what Carroll got sent off that was a an arm that was flailing by Zaha, hit Snodgrass in the head    (disclaimer neither are red cards)

[mystiroakey]

Well he certainly made a difference to cardiff!

Norwich playing well though, This game could be a cracker second half

[NickisBHAFC]

Everton 0-1 Villa.

Everton starting to choke.
