Barclays Premier League 13/14 Thread Part 'x'

[mystiroakey]

First topic message reminder :

Not sure what's going to happen in t his game..

More bothered about watching what Ox can do again..

Its not a forgone conclusion for me.

I do think Moyesball is pretty decent against possession teams..

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

It's strange. Khans made all the right noises about rebuilding in the NFL. PL threat of relegation seems to send owners off the deep end

Except ours

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Magath may be a nutter, but he's a bloomin good manager. I'd give Fulham much more of a chance of staying up with him than Rene.

[Fernando]

Jose has spent 687.1m that's just his at Chelsea/Inter & Madrid. Inter have been financially crippled since his left, Real Madrid are in a ton of debt. Chelsea have unlimited bankroll.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Although apparently Mulensteen hasn't actually been sacked...

[Fernando]

Rene seems to reckon different by his interview on 5 Live. Maybe they are doing what United should of done and kept him in a coaching role.

[GSC]

We don't want you to manage Rene, but fancy doing a spot of coaching.

Tbf it's probably for the best. Some people are better at following than leading. Meulensteen never struck me as a natural manager

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Tbh its not as if Rene has pulled up trees, he's pretty much done the same/worse than Jol.

And he had the luxury of playing us three times to boost his stats

[Fernando]

Found this on Yahoo it amused me   
Jose Mourinho's League of Animals

Arsenal — An owl. It can seem scary when you hear or see it in the night, but it never does anything and eventually you wonder if it is actually alive or just made of wood.

Aston Villa — A lion chew toy that other animals try to eat, but it somehow stays in tact year after year.

Cardiff City — A bluebird sized dragon perched on the shoulder of a man with his trousers pulled up to his nipples.

Chelsea — As I said before, a small horse. Maybe the small horse can win the race this year, but next year the horse will grow and run and stomp on all of the other animals and Pep Guardiola will say, "Whoever trained that horse is much better than I am, so I must quit. This time forever." And then he explodes and I laugh.

Crystal Palace — An eagle drawn on a little car window flag.

Everton — A golden retriever. Pretty. Nice. Loyal. Plus, they can achieve positive things. Just look at the Air Bud films.

Fulham — A turkey? I don't know. Not all of these are going to be good.

Hull City — I will say anything except a tiger just to annoy their owner.

Liverpool — A well-rested Chihuahua that could run through the legs of the horses, but only because it isn't playing in the Champions League, which means nothing it does is impressive. And next season the stress of fixture congestion will leave it hairless and shaking.

Manchester United — A once graceful deer that froze in the headlights and got hit by eight cars and now has a bad limp and doesn't know where it is going.

Manchester City — A sheikh's thoroughbred with a jockey who cannot beat me no matter how hard he tries.

Newcastle — A French zebra that sniffed too much glue and now has mental trouble.

Norwich City — Canary in an empty methane tank.

Southampton — A squirrel that gathers its nuts and runs to safety when something bigger comes near it.

Stoke City — Skunk. You cannot think of Mark Hughes and not immediately think of a skunk.

Sunderland — Ants. They do very much, but they don't get very far.

Swansea City — Swans that have been swimming in their own feces too long.

Tottenham — Under Villas-Boas, a flock of headless chickens. After Villas-Boas, something smarter and good. Maybe a cougar.

West Brom — Pigeons.

West Ham — The broad-faced potoroo. Like West Ham's style of football, it was a boring animal that went extinct in the 19th century and no one knows much about it. Probably because it was so boring. West Ham are a boring wall of dead animals.

[NickisBHAFC]

Hmmm think its harsh.

Yes he wasn't doing a great job. But he's been there what 2 months? To sack a manager after that space of time is stupid. He made some great signings. He just had 2 great performances, yes Liverpool they got nothing from, but its hardly his fault Riether cost his side the match. Hope Fulham fail.

United should take Rene back to there coaching staff.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Oh I hope Fulham go down too. Awful fans

[NickisBHAFC]

Also i've never been Craven Cottage before. Could do with another ground to tick of!

[Guest]

Craven Chairman.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Its awful, they integrate the away and home fans for no apparent reason.

[Guest]

Nick, have you ever agreed with a sacking? Ever?

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Freeky seeming as the nodge don't play tomorrow and Pool do, how's about you give me the tip this week

[Guest]

Arsenal win Olly. 9/5 at home with Billy Hills is way too good-a-price to look past.

http://sports.williamhill.com/bet/en-gb/betting/e/5543338/Arsenal-v-Liverpool.html

Both teams to score as an insurance.

If you think Chelsea can beat Citeh again then they've got good odds 13/5    Another to look at is Everton/Swansea   Can guarentee you atleast one Wilfried Bony goal   

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Cardiff are 5/4 at home to Wigan.

Ipswich are 4/5 at home to Blackpool.

[Guest]

Chelsea won't repeat that win. A draw at best there.

City will notch at least 2. Get on it and thank me later   

[Guest]

Cardiff and Ipswich are both value bets to be fair. I'd single em both.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Preston should be nailed on against Orient at deepdale tomorrow on what's gonna be an emotional day

[Guest]

Preston should be nailed on against Orient at deepdale tomorrow on what's gonna be an emotional day

Been saying it all season that Orient have been in a false position and will drop like stone.

Over 2.5 in that one Olly.

[NickisBHAFC]

Nick, have you ever agreed with a sacking? Ever?

From memory this season

Holloway, mind you that seemed a mutual decision.

Martin Jol agreed with that.

Tony Mowberry agreed with that.

Paul Ince agreed with that.

Could name more.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Last time I mention my bets before a game on here, been cursed

A bad experience Ent?

[westisbest]

York won
Brentford won
Ipswich drew
M'boro lost.

£290 if the had all won.
Have won once this season, may well be my lot.

Oh well, onto next saturday.

For me makes it more interesting.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

So Giroud admits to cheating on his wife. Might explain his downturn in form

[GSC]

John must be his wife.

It all makes sense now

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Tbf his wife is a right munter compared to who he cheated on her with   

[Duty281]

Admitting to his adultery on Twitter is classy.   

[GSC]

Tbh Olly, you don't tend to downgrade unless you're Ashley Cole

[GSC]

Rooneys getting 300k a week? Thats a lot of hair transplants

[Fernando]

To think this time last year then he was heading out the door now their begging him to stay.

No I'm just not stupid.

[The Special Juan]

Utd were in a lose-lose situation there. Let Rooney go and hear a death knell, keep him and risk spending loads of money on a underachieving player. Hopefully there are some clauses in that contract that demand he stays out of Greggs.

[J.Benson II]

Are United seriously offering Rooney 300K a week?!   
That's more than Messi. More than Aguero and Negrado's salaries combined!

Does Rooney run United or something? Next year he'll probably demand a transfer and United will tempt him to stay by offering a "new" 500k a week deal and so on.

Any mugs have this? Olly?

[Ent]

Sad to say but it is cheaper to pay Rooney £15 million a year that to replace him.

Wages are going to explode yet again I feel.

[Guest]

I can still remember the outrage when Liverpool paid John Barnes 10k a week.

300k, wow.

[Duty281]

Wayne Rooney is the White Pele and deserves a wage befitting his luxury status.

I think.

No I'm just not stupid.

I've never gone poor from it, and I've been doing it for at least 7 years. Nothing stupid about enjoying gambling, some people like a challenge.

[Duty281]

I think gambling is perfectly fine as long as you can stick to a pre-determined limit - like say a certain % of your wages.

Just a bit of fun after all.

[NickisBHAFC]

300k. Decent. Fair play to the lad.

[Duty281]

The concept of money becomes rather redundant when you have so much.

One imagines.
