Barclays Premier League 13/14 Thread Part 'x'

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

First topic message reminder :

Seriously desperate now, please score Norwich

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

We'll that was a turn up, didn't even bother to follow the chelsea game as I thought it was a dead cert, please don't balls it up tomorrow lads.

Cmon Norwich please roll over.

Scrumpy I'm currently flitting between hope and optimism that we play better against the good sides and will show some fight, and the fact Suarez always bums us and we usually go down with a whimper probably rock bottom

But I got a good feeling about tomorrow...

[skyeman]

Spurs 3 Fulham 1
Villa 1 Soton 1
Cardiff 2 Stoke 1
Newcastle 2 Swansea 0 (John disagrees with this)
West Ham 2 Palace 0
Chelsea 4 Sunderland 0

Great first prediction, and the draw at villa would have started a bet well but after that  

Just love this season, so many unexpected results.

Sunderland have been bad for Chelsea over the years and now the chosen ones first home defeat in the PL   

[Guest]

Don't you be putting a spanner in the works Olly.

Get wit da program.

[Hammersmith harrier]

Sunderland really are a bogey team for Chelsea and City, I genuinely don't understand it, what is their record like against United and Arsenal?

Just had a quick look and they've won 2 of their last 10 or so games against those two sides.

[Hammersmith harrier]

What about against City and Chelsea?

[skyeman]

Not as bad as i thought for Chelsea - Sunderland. Two PL defeats and a cup game in the last five seasons.

Seemed like more.

[skyeman]

But those two Sunderland defeats in the PL were both massive in regards to Chelseas ambitions, so big, big losses.

[Ent]

Think the stat from sky was 16 wins out of last 17 for Chelsea against Sunderland.

Shame really as a win would have made next weeks game absolutely huge.

[Guest]

What about against City and Chelsea?

They've beat Chelsea thrice in the last 15 or so games and beat City 4 times in the past 15 games or so.

It was obvious early on that Mourinho didn't fancy Mata.

Rightly or wrongly...

He holds grudges, mata defended casillas when mourinho dropped him.

Same with lukaku, loaned out because he cost mourinho a penalty shootout against pep :P

Yeah he seemed to dislike Lukaku from the off. Wasn't aware of the penalty shootout thing. How petty if true.

[Hammersmith harrier]

They would be so much better off with Mata feeding Lukaku than having Oscar feeding Eto'o.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I'm gonna give you all my Nodge tips now, cos I'm not around before the game tomorrow, will be causing rifts between my best mate and his girlfriend pre game

Norwich win, over 2.5 goals, Norwich goal 80-90 mins, 2-1 final score

I'm putting a quid on all them and a fiver on Liverpool

[Guest]

I'll be following suit Olly. This title is costing me a bomb   

[Fernando]

#InTheBagFreeky    Would take a monumental man sausage up now not to win it.

[Guest]

I think so too Nando. Gotta cease the moment cos next year is a whole different ball game.

The stars have indeed aligned.

[Fernando]

It's a good year for football. Atletico ahead in Spain, You're lot in England so money can't buy everything. That being said if you do not strengthen in summer i suspect your be heading back out the top 4.

I'd love to see Atletico win La Liga. What a romantic story that'll be.

We have been blessed with not having european football to be fair. Big test next season.

Just happy that we are competitive again.

You have to take the chance and with Man Utd being awful yet somehow worse then Spurs? I mean really how have they done that   

Be interested to see how you do without Henderson for the last few games he's been the main drive in midfield with his running about. Still need to fill your squad out as Europe will take a big chunk out of fitness & form. Anyway it's time for the worse MOTD of the season im expecting considering todays results.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

In a team that contains John Terry, somehow Ramires has achieved being the biggest c*nt of all

[Guest]

I'll never tire of seeing Sir Fabio's penalty.

Agree Olly, that takes some doing.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Disgraceful behaviour from Chelsea's assistant

[The Special Juan]

Where's Nick?

[Guest]

Where's Nick?  

You can't run from the nick Juan. The walls are too high and the guards have guns.

So don't even try.

[Guest]

Must be the camera angles but this Spurs match is like watching a game of FIFA.

[Fernando]

Tottenham eye Danny Welbeck transfer as Daniel Levy hunts top-class striker

Best.Transfer.Rumor.Ever    Welbeck top class

Damn, I thought it was an open nick.

[Guest]

I think this spygate thingymajig needs addressing.

Ban Mysti!

[westisbest]

Woooooo cmom kid.up the villlla kid

[Hammersmith harrier]

Pathetic from Mourinho it was a stonewall penalty, Chelsea starting to look like a group of petulant children.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Marshall should make the PFA team of the year, single handedly giving Cardiff a chance

[Corporalhumblebucket]

Norwich feeling a bit queasy I imagine after the Sunderland result.

For that humble comment I now want Liverpool to win the league a bit. Good stuff, Freeky.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Mata wasn't playing well under Jose

But Oscar's hardly ripped up trees either. I'm not a fan of his at all

I love Oscar. Think with a little more freedom you're looking at as close to a modern day Lampard replacement as you'll get, yet not a massive Kumquat

[Dolphin Ziggler]

And United should target Sandro. I think he'd be a good "get"

Sorry just don't see it myself Dolph, he's a good player, but he's nowhere near the level of a Lampard/Mata yet

Money placed, off to the fine city I go! #believe

[mystiroakey]

Olly mate. Betting at this point in the season gets emotional.

[mystiroakey]

And freely. It's a lot of teams with a lot of sour grapes. Pulis goes through each scenario days before the game. Like he is going to exactly know what the other manager will do as that is on the fly and dictated by the game. But pulis will go through many different opposition formations.

I literally cannot believe this nonsense..

[mystiroakey]

Athletico with no money...

Yes they don't. But it hasn't stopped them going into huge debt to be competitive. Not sure I see the link that they are the good guys either...

[The Special Juan]

I think Atletico have more debt than either Real or Barca but I'm not sure. Somehting like £500m+

[mystiroakey]

the figures suggest it could be 1 bill euros!!

they deny it- becase they value a piece of land as lucrutive-

the proof will only arise when its sold. however spains problems economically stemmed due to over valuing land and other assets.. I wouldnt be suprised if athletico have done the same.

These days you can buy a whole village in spain for less than a studio in croydon.

A message for the Norwich team and fans on this important day in the title run in

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQg2VV5rXJk

[mystiroakey]

That makes me want to watch the dark knight again. that scene was immense

[Hammersmith harrier]

I've said it numerous times but the only three elite teams in Europe with a business model to be proud of and they're all english; Arsenal, Man United and Liverpool. All three have differing levels of debt but they all comfortably repay it year after year, all three survive within their means.

[compelling and rich]

bayern are well run

bayern season ticket £100, arsenal £1000. as a fan i know which id prefer

[mystiroakey]

Palace are well run at the moment with the new owners- We are so prudent these days due to allmost going bust.

The problem is getting our players to sign contracts at wages we can afford. I here that bolaise may be wanting more than we can pay..

TBH though he deserves a decent wage.Not sure the inns and outs , but I have a feeling we are the lowest paying wages club in the league..

Players like bolaise, ward, punch and jed may be offered a bit more elsewhere- We need to tie them in..

[mystiroakey]

bayern are well run

bayern season ticket £100, arsenal £1000. as a fan i know which id prefer

so many fans will miss out due to that though- its literally first come first serve- and fans(or even non fans) that get in quick may make bundles on the black market due to that.. its a stupidly low amount from bayern tbh. You can go too far the other way
