Barclays Premier League 13/14 Thread Part 'x'

[It Must Be Love]

First topic message reminder :

I wouldn't mind Klopp replacing Moyes, if he does leave.

[GSC]

Indeed but the point remains

[GSC]

Looks like Everton are content to give Arsenal 4th

[Fernando]

Southampton 2-0 Everton - Alcaraz & Coleman OG's

[Duty281]

Martinez will be incredibly irritated at how easily Everton have surrendered the fight for fourth place after destroying Arsenal not too long ago.

[GSC]

We don't need Rodriguez we've got your back 4 must be chant of the year

[Dolphin Ziggler]

The chants of "shoot" when Coleman got the ball in his own half were also pretty genius

[Guest]

Random stat! Only West Ham (20) have lost more points from winning positions than Southampton (18) this season in the Premier League.

[FootballLight]

You know you aren't Champions League material when you lose to CP at home and you're defence is at fault TWICE away at a mid-table team. All be it, CP needed something but Everton needed the points as well, but they dropped all 3 and cost themselves a place in the Top 4. Now they are losing against Southampton that aren't playing for anything and it's their defence that has twice cost them here against Southampton, which is poor. Martinez was right in saying earlier in the season that his team wasn't ready for Champions League football, but, arguably, this has been their best chance for years, since they last got in it and then dropped out of both European competitions actually, but I think they've blown it now. Especially now Arsenal have the initiative against an out-of-form Newcastle side. Arsenal win and Everton lose, Arsenal go 4 points in front.

Arsenal should have it sewn up in a couple of weeks which may be good for Norwich, who play them last.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Cmon you Tigers/Hammers/Swans

Yes hopefully so Freeky they'll be gearing up for the cup final so you'd think they won't risk injuries

[Crimey]

It's a real shame that Everton have failed to really deliver on the promise of challenging Arsenal for their usual fourth place. I get the feeling that it is simply a stay of execution for Wenger though. I wouldn't even be surprised if he considered leaving at the end of this year on a relative high of fourth place and the FA Cup, rather than waiting until the inevitable where his contract isn't renewed because he doesn't bring Champions League football. Arsenal are just a bit stale at the moment, stuck in a Wenger rut that is unlikely to change. 

He has obviously been fantastic for them, and there will obviously be huge worries after he goes of the long-term stability, but even after bringing in a big money player, Arsenal haven't really moved. Not sure he's the man to take them forward.

[Crimey]

Fantastic season for Southampton though, they have managed to maintain their position in the top half despite the fact that they got themselves well above any relegation fight very early and have had problems behind the scenes. Will be interesting to see how well run the club is going into the future. They've obviously had a few dodgy things, how close Nicholas Cortese was to the players and manager and the fact that he has now gone, also, while it seems justified now, the sacking of Nigel Adkins does make you wonder if the club has the potential to go a bit wrong.

This summer will be huge, can see big bids for Luke Shaw certainly, Adam Lallana most possibly and the likes of Rodriguez, Cork, Schneiderlin, Wanyama, Lovren, Clyne, Chambers are all not safe from the sniffing around of big clubs either. If they can keep hold of manager and the majority of players while buying well, they could push on next season and perhaps have a more sustained push for Europa League places.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

They just discussed whether Giggs will wear a suit or tracksuit before even mentioning Norwich on Sky

I despair

[Crimey]

I really hope Norwich win, would change the media's tune immediately.

[Guest]

Jonjo from the halfway line!

[Guest]

Well not quite the halfway line but still a beauty from range.

[Fernando]

Better then Rooney's? Yes or No?

[Guest]

I'd rate Rooneys higher.

[Guest]

Jonjo's effort was alot more central.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

100% better than Rooney's

[kingraf]

40% inferior to Rooney's

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Rumor is Hooper is injured for us today...

[Guest]

Gutter Olly. Fulham lead.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Rut oh

[Fernando]

Fulham 1-0 Hull

Nodge doomed

[Fernando]

Fulham 2-0

Super doomed now Olly

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

C0ck c0ck c0ck

[AberdeenSteve]

Southampton are in for a difficult summer in my opinion. With rumours flying about with regards to their key players (Shaw, Lallana, Rodriguez) and their manager being linked with several higher profiles jobs, they will have great difficulty keeping the nucleus of what is a very good squad together. If they sell the players above, lose Pochettino and sell other important players without replacing them, it could be a difficult season.

I suppose this the norm these days, that when squads have a good season, the get picked apart by the vultures from higher above. Usually destroying the players in the process.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Words cannot describe how much I hate Fulham Football Club

[Crimey]

Norwich really need a win today, can't see it, a point is a must though really if they're going to stay up.

[TopoftheChops]

Words cannot describe how much I hate Fulham Football Club

going down going down going down

[Crimey]

Aston Villa will be looking over their shoulders as well. Particularly if Cardiff get a run going, Norwich and Villa could both go down and Lambert will have to ask himself, "what the hell happened?"

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

We'll just have to thump you lot again next season then   

Judging by you lot today that shouldn't be too hard

Even if Sunderland win tomorrow, both will be in trouble

[Guest]

Villa with Spurs and City to play look in mighty trouble now.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Tbh I can't see us not finishing bottom now

Judging by you lot today that shouldn't be too hard

The way your guys are playing you're be lucky if you could beat Birmingham

Also if you go down could be a while before you come up i suspect many will try to jump ship.

We'll be alright, we're in a good financial situation and we've got a good batch of youngsters coming through to help replace the ones who do leave

Least they know they are guaranteed to recover that bargain fee they paid for the greatest goalscorer in EPL history..

[Guest]

All about the first season down there Olly, for me.

Hit the ground running and an imminent return could be on.

Horrible division to get out of.

[Guest]

We got out of it......and gutierrez played a key role in our immediate return    

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Hughton isn't here anymore, more chance of me playing for us next season than that donkey!!!

[Fernando]

Jonas is the new Roger Johnson    He's taken over the mantelpiece of relegation fodder

Think the quality has decreased a fair bit recently, if we can hold onto a good core of players we should be competing up the right end

[Guest]

So you should have with that squad John!

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

COME ON HULL

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Cleverley plays

WE HAVE A CHANCE

[Crimey]

De Gea; Jones, Vidic (c), Ferdinand, Evra; Valencia, Carrick, Cleverley, Kagawa; Welbeck, Rooney.

Giggs' first team.

4-4-2? Or is Kagawa finally being given a chance behind the striker. Surprised he has dropped Mata who, despite not having a great start to his career at United, is the best player they have.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

COME ON YOU TIGERS!!!!!!!!
