Barclays Premier League 13/14 Thread Part 'x'

[GSC]

First topic message reminder :

Apparently we're after the prodigy that is Steve Clarke

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

And then to come out after the match and say you need the fans behind well I'm sorry I'd rather us go down so you'll definitely get the sack than get behind you for the remaining games I've spent too much of my limited money to go watch the tripe you serve up week in week out

[mystiroakey]

I just cannot believe palace are above Swansea and with a game in hand- freaking insane crazy.

We are almost safe and dont even have the hardest run in.

[mystiroakey]

Olly - all you need is that win v fulham and you have done it. that is your cup final game. Its the biggest of the year.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

As I said earlier we haven't beaten Fulham since like the 80's in like 20 games, and we've lost 7 away games in a row, while they're coming off a great win away we've come off a horrible loss at home.

Forgive me for being just a tad pessimistic about this one.

[mystiroakey]

yes but Houghton has allways proved himself in the big games..

this is proper big. lets see what happens.

Done amazingly well Mysti. I never gave you a hope in hell.

Yep just like he's proved himself today. Or stoke at home. Or Cardiff, villa, Swansea away

Oh no wait a minute...

No one did maTE.

That Pulis is a magician.

He has got a side together that can do the basics reasonably well. Going back to what I said earlier and most of the sides in the bottom half can't - I'm not surprised you are nearly safe. You'll be floating above the garbage in midtable 10-12th next season.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

If your least favourite player ever at a club is Nani or Rafael then you've had a charmed life.

Least favourite isn't necessarily worst.

Berbatov is my least favourite united player ever, though Fellaini is rapidly catching him up.

I know it isnt, but it still shows how easy you lot have had it

Meh you support a PL football team - not like thats difficult either.

Its not even that I find so baffling, its the standard of the player and service theyve given. A Premier League top scorer and a former Man United player of the year are two bemoaned so far.

Now, if you'd said Bosnich...

You'd have to have seen Berbatov to understand. Was fotunate to be PL top scorer, scored 3 against liverpool then went 7 weeks without a goal. Hits 5 at home to Blackburn. Got another 3 against a bum side and didn't score for 2 and a half months. Ended up with 2 goals in the last 4 months of the season and dropped for all the big games and run to the CL final.

Currently our worst ever signing, Fellaini rapidly catching him up.

I saw him. Not liking a player is opinion, but hes definitely not your worst ever signing.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Who's the motd pundits tonight?

I hope its Shearer, I wanna see how he can defend his pal Hughton this week

WHAT DO WE EXPECT UP HERE

[The Special Juan]

Newcastle had a home game so it may not be Shee-rah. I'll say Hansen and the legend that is Zinedine Kilbane.

[Fernando]

1.ManCity/Saints, 2.Chelsea/Stoke, 3.Cardiff/Palace, 4.Villa/Fulham, 5.Norwich/WBA, 6.Newcastle/ManUtd, 7.Hull/Swansea

Him or birtles.

Record fee, we were European champions. He was rubbish and lazy - continually harassed the young players etc. Was glad to get rid of him.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

I will happily go on record to say Norwich will stay up. Whether I think they're good enough or will offer more to the Premier League next year than Fulham, I don't know, but Fulham really dont deserve to stay up either.

All I know about this season is that Big Sam will feel so vindicated about comments he made about the team getting it together once the injury list was gone. Big summer ahead. We've been promised a team fit for the Olympic Stadium; not many windows to go

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Vincent is on; lovely news

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

The only hope I have is that we do tend to raise our games against the big sides, so hopefully we'll catch one on an off day and get a resukt

[Fernando]

Well that looked seriously painful for Rodriguez.

[Fernando]

David Silva a good 2 yards offside.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Arsenal will likely have nothing to play for. But you aint winning at Chelsea. I'd target United and Arsenal as the possibles after Fulham. Liverpool are guaranteed about 4 goals against you as thats the law.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

City players reacted very nicely to the injury

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Arsenal will likely have nothing to play for. But you aint winning at Chelsea. I'd target United and Arsenal as the possibles after Fulham. Liverpool are guaranteed about 4 goals against you as thats the law.

I see Arsenal and Utd as the most likely of the four too, we usually do alright against Arsenal tbf

Suarez is gonna score like 5/6 against us

We have got to win next week though, got to.

[The Special Juan]

Odds on a Suarez hattrick?

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Odds on a Suarez hattrick?

Probably odds on!

[Fernando]

It's just like printing money nowadays Suarez HT vs Norwich. Maybe you could get better odds if he does it in one half  

[The Special Juan]

I'm looking but it's too far in the future to give me odds I think

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

*drinks litre of whisky before Norwich highlights*

I'm ready

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

#holty4england

[Fernando]

Unbelievable defending by Lowton.

[The Special Juan]

How you lot are on before Utd I will never know. A Newcastle/Utd match would have been top billing not that long ago!!

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

If we go down and that shower of plastic posh sh!t Fulham stay up again well I'll cry a tear for English football

[Fernando]

Because your an pathetically average midtable side and no one cares as you both have nothing to play for.

[Ent]

Yeah, used to be if a game was on live it wouldn't be the main game unless it was a huge game.

Times they are a changing.

[Fernando]

That was some epic finishing my Elmander Row Z here it comes.

[mystiroakey]

I was talking up puncheon the other day- but that goal was something else..

Great goal.

Newcastle were such a decent team before they got safe and shipped cabaye. What a difference.

I just dont know where that team is heading. They have all just given up

You'd worry about them next season if, as reported, they lose remy, ben arfa and coloccini. Slow start and it could be a difficult season.

[mystiroakey]

liverpool is the only team i 100% expect palace will lose to on the run in. Citeh should smash us- but the players know with a lot of good positioning we could get a 0-0 at home.

You cant stop the liverpool players- if they haven't scored they go up another level- they are possessed beasts at the moment.

Won 8 in a row and 9/10, only blip is a draw with West Brom. Serious title winning form that.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Nope no analysis of Hughton's complete ineptitude

[Fernando]

That wasn't that bad Olly. Rather unlucky in a few points should of got a draw at least.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Toon will be fine. Ashley aint so dumb that he'll let Pardew fight a fire with matches.

[The Special Juan]

Because your an pathetically average midtable side and no one cares as you both have nothing to play for.

I know you are but what are we

Some of the choices these days are questionable though.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

You watch the 90 minutes of that game and tell me that wasn't that bad

They're called highlights for a reason

Obviously selling the heartbeat of the side was going to kill us in the short term, everyone knew that. It was the points amassed in the first half of the season which ultimately allowed Ashley to sell Cabaye because we were already safe. Since then the players heads have dropped, injuries & complacency has set in. Also, we agreed a bonus scheme with the players for a top 10 finish......hardly was going to be motivating for the team once they knew they couldn't compete for europe & couldn't be caught for 9th or 10th. Our woeful form has still only placed us 9th & we are still 9 points ahead of WHU. I don't think the players are too bothered & their bonuses should still be achieved. We simply just need the summer for the rebuild, it's painful viewing now but we need to focus on the bigger picture after the sale of Cabaye.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Oh Juan you lovely little Spaniard

[The Special Juan]

I like Lindegaard. There are few better 2nd choice goalies in the league, if any.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Utd best away record in the league

Strange one that

[Guest]

Mrs. Lindegaard is something else

[Ent]

Beat all the dross, lost to the good sides - no draws I believe (though I haven't checked).

[Guest]

If you notice the 2nd GK's performances then there's something wrong with your team Juan.
