Barclays Premier League 13/14 Thread Part 'x'

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..

[socal1976]

Arsenal can score the wonderful goals against weak opposition, Wilshere's against Norwich or Giroud's today, however, against stronger sides it all breaks down. That second for Giroud is just gifted, just like against Southampton with Boruc. Shambolic defending.

He had a great game a brace and an assist. Giroud creates a lot of those gifts by always closing down from his striker position. 3 beautiful goals at the emirates today, two great team goals and a wonder strike from Sunderland's talented little Italian. Get Giroud some more model strange if he will play like that. He is just one goal short of his total last year.

This is not a problem John. Everyone keeps going on about our nightmare fixture list but we have 3 games of it left, Everton,Chelsea,Citeh. (don't include Spurs their Poopie ) if we can keep close with the leaders we're in with a good chance considering our run in   

If we can get good results in those three matches we have a very good shot at it. The gunners in my mind haven't shown their best form yet in the big matches in league and I really think they have it in them. If Ramsey can come in and play anything like he did early in the year we have real shot at it.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I personally find it very hard to be "happy" after watchin Norwich Dolphin ("suicidal" is probably a better description) but each to their own I guess...

sorry Olly

Don't worry I was the same but I've become pretty much numb to the pain now MFC!

[westisbest]

might head down and put the 2-1 villa win.

First goalscorer. Gabby.

[mystiroakey]

1-1 all over that game for me.

I have a feeling all games will be 1-1 or 2-1 today.

[mystiroakey]

Was it a palace fan that threw a coin at Rooney.

Not on.. Hate the scum element .. We dont have many- but we have a right couple of wrong ons..

Glad Rooney scored.

But at the same time I heard the United fans wanted to all wear Cantana masks.

Thats just ridiculous. I like Cantona and that idiot deserved the Kick- but feick me 'cantana masks'

Some fans make me want to stop supporting football some times

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Put a fiver on no Norwich goalscorer, my tip for the day

[mystiroakey]

1-1 or 2-1 to totenham..

[Hulking_up]

I find it slightly amusing that Spurs are 5th with a GD of +4.

[mystiroakey]

very good possession stats,

the worst goals to shots ratio in the league though.

but the major reason is the 3 batterings they took from liverpool and citeh

[Hulking_up]

Also Everton are now behind Man U. 8 points off Liverpool.
They went down hill fast.

[GSC]

Liverpool should thrash Swansea. Well rested at home vs a team that played on Thursday.

Hulk their last game was a 4-0 win too

[GSC]

Injuries have really robbed Evertons impetus. I can sympathise.

They were majorly unlucky yesterday

[mystiroakey]

Everton have an easier run in- i think. its tight around that position and they just got beat marginally by chelsea

Everton are still playing the 5th best footy in the league..I can deffo see there quality getting 5th spot

[Mad for Chelsea]

Put a fiver on no Norwich goalscorer, my tip for the day rest of the season

fixed that for you (sorry again, couldn't resist). I must admit I'm getting a bit worried about Norwich (whom I quite like, due to having a friend - nice guy - who supports them). I thought they were fine as teams were playing worse than them, but now I'm not so sure. Cardiff look doomed, and Fulham I don't rate, but the third spot looks wide open.

[Hulking_up]

Hulk their last game was a 4-0 win too

LOL.
Amazing they are only 3 points behind us. Would be incredible to finish in the top 4 with a GD less then 2 figures.

catch liverpool or citeh on a good day and try to play against them and your GD is going down faster than Duty on walcott

Be good to see them finish above Liverpool again.

[mystiroakey]

No chance of that SR- Liverpool are flying mate- secured top 4 IMO.. and playing brilliant footy

We're in deep trouble MFC, gonna take a minor miracle for us to turn it round

God Pardeww talks some guff

[super_realist]

Hardly, they are only 3 points ahead of Spurs, and have had some well dodgy results against poor teams. Agree they are currently flying, but not a guaranteed top 4 especially if Suarez gets an injury or gets suspended.

[mystiroakey]

The thing is. The difference isn't about suraez.

Liverpool have so many players performing. Even without suraez I would still make them big favs

[NickisBHAFC]

Liverpool 1-0 Swansea.

Wish that game was on TV and not this boring Newcastle v Villa game.

[Guest]

So just to confirm Chelsea kept Torres and signed Eto'o but let Sturridge go? Insane bit of business

As a United fan it pains me to see Liverpool playing as well as they are (at home at least)

[NickisBHAFC]

Liverpool 2-0 Swansea Jordan Henderson.

[Guest]

Great strike from Lord Voldemort then

[Guest]

2-2, The scousers have crumbled like an old twix

[NickisBHAFC]

Liverpool 2-1 Swansea. Jonjo Shelvey.

[NickisBHAFC]

Liverpool 2-2 Swansea. Bony.

What a match. Were stuck with this boring game. Cheers SKY.

[Hulking_up]

Our defending is shocking and very costly.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Vlaar makes Villa so much better. Hey, Paul, look what experience can do for you

[NickisBHAFC]

Liverpool 3-2 Swansea. Danny Sturridge.

[Pierce Quincy]

I find it slightly amusing that Spurs are 5th with a GD of +4.

Me too 

[Hulking_up]

Great play leading up to the 3rd goal.

[The Special Juan]

Can we make a half-time subby? Liverpool v Swansea for Newcastle v Villa...

[monty junior]

Cisse   

[westisbest]

Christ this is like Cardiff all over.
Decent play to get to the box, but cant finish.

Benteke needs to get into the game more.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

HOW DARE SKY NOT BE ABLE TO SEE INTO THE FUTURE AND PICK THE GAME THAT HAS FIVE GOALS

[GSC]

I'd still rather watch this than Liverpool Swansea with Michael Owen commentating

[The Special Juan]

Hindsight is a wonderful thing!! Still though, surely everyone knew there were probably going to be more goals in the Liverpool game than the Newcastle one?

[NickisBHAFC]

I'd still rather watch this than Liverpool Swansea with Michael Owen commentating

Owen is a lot lot better than Nile Quinn tbf!

[GSC]

If Sky put the same teams on TV every week they get accused of bias

[Guest]

Cisse, go home. Everyone knew our game would be shocking, SKY just there for the booing of Ashley n potential Pardew sacking story. Terrible game, we just need the season to end ASAP to begin the rebuild.

[mystiroakey]

Wow i should time my trips to the shop better/

5 goals!!

sheez

[Hulking_up]

Frak Skertel!
Gives away a free kick by kicking out - Swansea score.
Gives away a pen by wrestling - Swansea score.

[The Special Juan]

City want Skrtel. Him and Demifailis at CB would be a great partnership!!

[GSC]

Very good going forward but equally as poor going the other way

[NickisBHAFC]

Liverpool 3-3 Swansea.

Sky are biast. They show Leeds United way way way more than other Championship teams.

[GSC]

Monks given Swansea a boost

[NickisBHAFC]

This game is so boring.

The guy who chose this over the Liverpool game, deserves to be hung.
