Barclays Premier League 13/14 Thread Part 'x'

Apparently we're after the prodigy that is Steve Clarke

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Hughes isn't a bad manager you just have to look at the job he did at Blackburn. Some managers work at certain places. Just have to look at Brendan Rodgers got sacked several times then ended up at Swansea and moved onto Liverpool.

It was a Nick related joke

If you mathematically still win the league then Steve Clarke will do it #miraclarke

[GSC]

Sauces say he's favorite to win the Chelsea Flower Show after 6 months on gardening leave

[Crimey]

On it Olly.   

Congratulations on losing your money.   

OllyTips is proven sunny Jim!

There is more chance of Palace beating Chavski then Van Wankswinkle scoring a goal. 

Spot on.

[Crimey]

If Arsenal can somehow beat Manchester City and Liverpool beat Tottenham, are Liverpool favourites for the title, or do people still back Chelsea and Manchester City to come away with enough from the games at Anfield?

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Id say Liverpool go about level with City in the odds, but City would still be favourites

[Dolphin Ziggler]

City look very good in this opening 10 mins

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Sagna should look at this game and realise he is nowhere near as good as Zabaleta

[liverbnz]

Id say Liverpool go about level with City in the odds, but City would still be favourites

How's that work?

About level, but not level. So, for example, 5/4 Liverpool, Evens City (not that you'll ever see that pricing I'd venture to guess)

[The Special Juan]

Imagine being Darren Fletcher.  You co-commentate a football match with Michael Owen and then have to do a radio show with Robbie Savage.

[GSC]

I'd have pulled the trigger

[Dolphin Ziggler]

GAME ON

[CFCNick]

I like Savage on 606.

Wearing a Chelsea shirt, drinking coffee from a United mug, cheering on Arsenal. #What?!

[hampo17]

Can't believe out of all the sides I backed today, Chelsea let me down.   

[socal1976]

A very good performance after the first twenty or so minutes from Arsenal. We were the better team but still failed to get all three points. Still a good match and this should do our confidence good in that we played pretty well against City. Liverpool got to love this result. But Arsenal are now in a dog fight for 4th place again, great. 4 points up on Everton, a road game to Goodison, and Everton have 2 games in hand. Very, very close.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Fair result

[socal1976]

Flamini was huge he outplayed Yaya and Fernandino today.

How do all you losers feel knowing that Arsenal are unbeaten against all the top teams at home this season?

[hampo17]

How do all you losers feel knowing that Arsenal are unbeaten against all the top teams at home this season?

Does that mean an awful lot when you're out of the title race and could get pipped to fourth by Everton?

Everton are 5 points behind us (with a game in hand) but they have a lot harder fixtures than us. They have to play Arsenal, Man Utd and Man City.

I actually think Everton will finish 6th and tottenham will finish 5th.

Their game against you at Goodison is key, if they beat you in that game they have enough winnable games to beat you to fourth, plus you can always bank on Arsenal to lose a game they should win easily.

I wouldn't be surprised if we win our next 6 games

[mystiroakey]

so made my money on the two banker bets- Southampton and united.

But my add on (palace draw) was an odd one lol.

WE WON.

Yes it cost me 200 quid- but so what.. PALACE BEAT CHELSEA.. And by the sounds of it we deserved it and played good footy!!

at this current moment in time I think Palace are my favourite premier league team from South London

[mystiroakey]

Thats nice Champs.. Its only us though mate-Even Fulhams ground is just north of the river!!

[mystiroakey]

Well played arsernal as well- Great bounce back.. PL open again.

[Champagne_Socialist]

Sorry I worded that badly, I meant my favourite PL team and they are from south london ( of course after my team Arsenal).

[Hammersmith harrier]

Arsenal are from south London are they not?

[skyeman]

Jose having a dig at the Palace ball boys, he makes me laugh  

[mystiroakey]

Ok got ya Champs..

Arsenal originally are a south london club. But that was what 100 years back..

[Hammersmith harrier]

I do wonder about the mentality of Arsenal, fall apart when it comes to fighting for the title but as soon as their top four spot is under threat they show passion. Sums up the ambitions of the team really.

[mystiroakey]

Jose supposedly congratulated the palace players after the game. Odd . I was imagining him ripping into us for playing anti football..

Good on him . 

Cant wait for match of the day- We supposedly played football. Going toe to toe and beating a team of that magnitude is pretty amazing..

[Champagne_Socialist]

chelsea really do need a new striker, rumours going around they are looking at ibrahimovic.

[skyeman]

Chelsea were the specialists in failure today. Jose said his side did not have the spirit that Palace had.

Never admits his faults, too interested in PSG.

[Guest]

Always felt Mourinho could utilise Eden Hazard a bit better.

A scorer of great goals, but would they risk going going for a near 34 year old.

Mourinho could always just swallow his pride and give Lukaku a run next season. I think he's more than proved himself at the required level now.

[Guest]

I wouldn't say Lukaku is the answer & continuing to loan him tells you all you need to know about Jose's opinion on him. I watched him this season & technically he's still raw, appalling first touch & can't pass. Majority of his goals are tap-ins, nothing shouts out to me to say he's the answer. He's done well for Everton with 12 league goals, but stepping up for Chelsea and leading the line in the league & in Europe is another level.

[Champagne_Socialist]

Well he is 32, but he would really suit Chelsea. He plays like drogba in the sense he can bully defenders, hold up the ball and when aerial battles.

[Guest]

But is he better than Giroud though John? I need to know..

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

How do all you losers feel knowing that Arsenal are unbeaten against all the top teams at home this season?

And what's the away record looking like...

Also how many of those home games were wins? Spurs? I'd rather lose one game and win the rest than draw a lot and have an "unbeaten" record (they're very overrated we have an unbeaten home record in 2014 but like 4 of the 6 are draws so were actually jot doingn that great)

[skyeman]

Abramovich could put a cheeky 70m bid in for a certain Barcelona player, that would be something  

[Guest]

Oh yeah, he's better than Giroud (did you see giroud today, appalling)

I think Lukaku is okay, just not the required level that a club of Chelsea's size needs leading the line domestically & in European Champions League matches. Jose will blow £40m on someone this summer.

beat Tottenham at home and we beat LOSERPOOL at home twice. drew with city, united and chelsea at home.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

As for Norwich well we need four points from these next two games to have a chance of survival. Must must must beat West Brom at home next week which will take us to 35 and just about safe I reckon.

My word does Hughton have to go at the end of the season though no matter what happens

OK wow what are you like 12. Loserpool   

[mystiroakey]

to think chelsea had sturridge at one point.

to think they bought torress when he was top 5 in the world.

to think they have loaned lukaka..

they do seem to have an issue in that area . And certainly not helping themselves or the strikers that come.
