Barclays Premier League 13/14 Thread Part 'x'

[mystiroakey]

First topic message reminder :

Oh you are SAF? or a Glazier?

[Duty281]

Nay sir, for I am Anglo-Saxon not Celtic.

Even though I live in a Celtic area, ho-hum.

England's green and pleasant land and those dark satanic mills - how I love them.

[mystiroakey]

Jeruselum needs to be our anthem..

[Duty281]

Jerusalem - Telling the story of how Jesus sailed up to Penzance, walked through Falmouth (just down the road from me!), and up to..Glastonbury.

[mystiroakey]

Can we change the lyrics a bit mate..

I am not into the whole God stuff. Love the tune though.

BTW lucky boy. You live is nice part of the world..

[Duty281]

Lyrics change!

And did Hodgson's feet in 2012,
Walk upon England's Wembley turf?
And was it by two banks of four,
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the English fans believe?
Shine forth upon the Maracana?
And did the English gain victory,
In July two-thousand and fourteen?

Bring me my defence, of joyful resolve,
Bring me my strikers of desire,
Bring me my skipper, oh doubts unfold,
Fetch me my trophy of victory.
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall Brazil ban the band,
Till we have got Jules Rimet,
In England's green and pleasant land!

[Duty281]

Oh and Cornwall? Nice place for a holiday, but not to live (second homes aside!). Too quiet.

[mystiroakey]

Good lad duty. Nice work..

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Duty letting people disrespect the national anthem?! The man I knew is no more, here stands a shadow.

I consider tomorrow's game a bonus. We are unlikely to get owt from Everton, plus my boss supports them and it's the last game West Ham will play whilst I work there. I'm not leaving with that extra satisfaction, fate shan't allow it

[The Special Juan]

I've never seen an organisation (i.e. the BBC) so desperate to see a manager (i.e. Moyes) be sacked.  It's quite sad.

really!

links?

"Moyes 'would have been sacked in Italy'" - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26383205

Meaningless article.

"Robbie Savage: Ten David Moyes mistakes at Manchester United" - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26366857

Meaningless pundit.

"Man Utd: Five factors that could cost David Moyes his job" - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26366554

Seriously? "Could"

[mystiroakey]

Code:

So 3 links talking about moyes bad form and quite factual.

yep the bbc are really targeting arnt they.

you do realise every western media company are also writing the same if not a lot worse..

why are you targeting the bbc?

where's the desperation that you can see that no one else can?

Because the BBC, unlike some media outlets, are meant to print the truth and not speculation.

[mystiroakey]

so are you saying that moyes isnt performing badly?

[Pierce Quincy]

You cant support two big teams mate..

Silly Americans...

One biggie and one local team- or local to your ancestors would be allowed..

Local to my ancestors would be....Liverpool! But I don't like Everton, so that leaves me with..?

I'm just a Chelsea fan who doesn't hate Liverpool. That makes me silly? That makes Americans silly?

So you have Scouse blood!!

tut tut.

 .

Bye the way. Welcome to the forum buddy!

(support whoever you want i was just on a wind up)

but still you do have scouse blood .... so.. well you know...

so what?
so i shud speeak lyk steeven gerrrrrad?
I did not get offended pal!
feebies never get offended...  

[mystiroakey]

If you dont get offended - you must only have a minor drop of scouse in you.

[Pierce Quincy]

ermmmm.

thats a conversation that could go on a long long time Socal

Maybe better for politics..

But from a more general POV i have had certain Discussions with Americans before and they dont seem as harsh on 'glory hunting' fans..

I suppose its because the place is so big- Many people wont be able to feel a local affinity with a sporting club so will just pick any one.

No we call them bandwagon jumpers. It depends on the region and depends on the sport. Plus American sports teams are just businesses that aren't really tied to one location, many teams just up and move to a new city when they get better stadium deal. We have a lot of big rivalries between universities in college sports but you don't really see us have a punch up because someone supports USC or UCLA fotball.

But seriously I do wonder why you guys have 4 national teams for one country, seems counterproductive and a bit medieval to me but of course its your country and you can do as you please. It would be like Spain fielding different regional teams. Like a basque, castillian, or Catalan team. If they did that I doubt any of the three teams would ever win a major trophy.

Personally, I would have loved to see Aaron Ramsey & Gareth Bale play alongside Rooney & Gerrard, the UK team would have performed a lot better if that were the case, but it isn't. And I respect that.

[CFCNick]

One of the biggest obstacles in a GB football team is Scotland and Northern Ireland. They were totally against a unified team for London 2012. Wales didn't want to be in the negotiations but allowed their players to take part. Only England are 100% for it on occasions like the Olympics. Of the 18 man squad there was 13 English and 5 Welsh.

[mystiroakey]

Nortern Irish players would have the right to play for ireland or a gb team if this happened or they could go the way of the rugby team and play as a unified team.

if Scotland gained independence i wouldn't write of a united England and wales team.. Like the cricket team in the future.. But when it comes to rugby that well never ever happen..

different sports , different politics, all created unequally, all with separate history, all with separate priorities.

[Duty281]

A UK football team would pretty much be the death of international football on this island. I could never warm to that concept, and nor, I suspect, could many Scottish/Welsh/N. Irish fans.

As Mrs. Thatcher once said - "No. No. No."

[The Special Juan]

so are you saying that moyes isnt performing badly?

No, all I'm saying is that one article is acceptable but three is overkill. I'd be lying if I said he was doing well.

We have Yanga M'biwa playing, likelihood of a clean sheet is slim & we don't exactly score many.

I do stay far away from the Daily Fail. Terrible "paper".

[Fernando]

We have a lousy record at Stoke
You suck vs Lambert
Newcastle aren't exactly prolific at the moment and Hull in form

Some folk get right wound up!

[Guest]

YES!!!! MOUSSA!

[mystiroakey]

Yeah get in.

Just a double today.

Newcastle win and Everton draw

[Guest]

YESSSSSS!!! REMY!

[mystiroakey]

Hull fighting back.

[Guest]

That's brilliant from the boys, fully expected a second half fold. 1-3

[mystiroakey]

Yes !!!!

You had to turn the form around a some point.. You just had to adjust from losing your best player.. Glad I called it at the right time..

[Guest]

We've been lucky though, Hull been dire defensively & caught on the counter. Yeah, just needed time to adjust to losing Cabaye & other players stepping up & understanding what direction the team needed to go in now.

[The Special Juan]

I can see Madrid or Barcelona going for Hazard in the summer for about £60m. Imagine a front 3 of Ronaldo, Bale and Hazard.

[mystiroakey]

PSG reportedly are stepping up offer even more than 60

[mystiroakey]

Aresrnal need to step up here..

[mystiroakey]

Pardew having a fight by the sounds of it....  

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Pardew is the ultimate c*nt

[Guest]

Chelsea really starting to gather some steam now. Looking ominous.

[Guest]

Pardew is officially a nutter. The end?

[The Special Juan]

PSG reportedly are stepping up offer even more than 60

Crikey. I wonder if he'd go back to France though this "early" in his career.
