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.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

I don't particularly like Zaha either.

[skyeman]

That was cool, with Gerrard and Jose  

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Chelsea have gone fully Pulis under Stoke

[mystiroakey]

Sorry you're just wrong Mysti, like any player we sign I take an interest in him and have seen a lot of him and am just not that impressed. He looks good in games at under 21 level and in the championship because that is his level, he's not good to make the step up.

It's ludicrous to suggest I don't have a clue about a player who plays for my team.

we wont agree- so lets just end it and wait.

You will eventually see- But please to god- sell him back to us. Parish will buy him.

Do not ruin him by farming him out and making him lose his drive and ambition like what happened to wickham, routledge and puncheon..

[hampo17]

Coutinho really needs to work on his shooting, when he tries to really power a shot from range he always ends up dragging it wide.

[Hero]

From what I saw of Zaha at Palace and during the preseason I liked it. The banging of Moyes daughter and his attitude at Cardiff though has certainly taken him 2 steps back, seems to be a thing with a few English players that after the initial burst they go backwards for a while (Morrison, Berahino, Sterling, Wickham etc)

[skyeman]

Can't agree with that. Every player finds is eventual level.

[Hammersmith harrier]

Sign of a player with no natural shooting power Hampo, would be better off trying to caress the ball in instead.

[mystiroakey]

thankfully- wickham and sterling are right back on track.

sad to see morrison and zaha the way they are at the present moment in time.

Relative to other countries we have so few young prospects that the ones we do have are thrust straight into the media spotlight, it's happening to Barkley as well, looked superb for most of the season then starts getting some plaudits and his performance levels drop right off.

For instance if Rooney wasn't English, he a) wouldn't have cost so much and b) would have been able to progress at a steady rate and would have become one of the best players in the world.

It's quite telling that the best english player of his generation Paul Scholes got very little media coverage and was left alone to become the great player that he was.

[skyeman]

Chelsea opting for the Cl way.

Good player but also a pathetic person by quiting England because he had to play a game on the left.

He also did a tevez at United and refused to play once

Petty person, great footballer

[skyeman]

And people used to call Arsenal boring  

But entertainment, negativity, tactics, game plans. It's why we love it.

[hampo17]

Chelsea time wasting since the kick off, really pathetic tactics.

Not really pathetic when you're the one getting shifted to the left in favour of a pair who couldn't carry your jockstrap, a more than justified decision to make.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Imagine the abuse Benitez would've got for playing like this

[kingraf]

Rather odd game from Mourinho. I mean. I suppose he's decided the league is beyond him, so he might as well screw Liverpool

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Liverpool getting the luck of the refs again...

Clear handball

[mystiroakey]

I am England first. Palace second

You deal with were ever you are put and do your best.

He.would have been back central under the next manager.

Calling him pathetic is a bit out of order but it was at the time.

He has made it clear in recent years that he made the wrong decision.

However one the reasons Scholes and giggs had such longevity was probably due to not having international commitments.

[kingraf]

Seems the very definition of petty and pathetic then

[compelling and rich]

Liverpool getting the luck of the refs again...

Clear handball

definitely a pen at the other end

[kingraf]

f.uck! That handball woulda given Frank a shot at goal #1, which would have got me halfway to my bet.

[skyeman]

The great teams in any sport are throughiout history deemed to be remembered on stats, but the epic ones are the stats and flair.

But again, if you get sucess, no matter what. That's what counts.

[compelling and rich]

load of nonsense the scholes thing, no doubt he was disillusioned with england at the time, but he's a massive family man. he didnt have the hunger to travel round the world playing for a team where nobody else could be arsed

he decided he would rather spend that time with his family, what a horrible person   

[kingraf]

No.... petty.

[mystiroakey]

not horrible person- just petty at the time.

his kids would have surely rather watched him at the world cups- like you have a long career in football! jeasus what are you on about- footballers get so much time with there family anyway!!  And he has admitted fault, so fair play for admitting his mistakes.

However as i also mentioned he got funny at united as well. Which was covered up at the time- one of the reasons why fergie was so successful- they dealt with issues in house. He did the same tevez thing and refused to warm in cup games before

[mystiroakey]

great goal ba- gerrard mistake- feick

[hampo17]

What a joke, Chelsea playing the absolute worst kind of football and then that happens.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Pahahaha

[Guest]

Good finish there by Ba to be fair but shocking error.

[skyeman]

That's football  

Tactics.

[compelling and rich]

ha ha ha justice for the pass he gave them few years ago there

[AberdeenSteve]

All the sweeter that it was Gerrard...

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I'm afraid we have a serious...

CHOKING ALERT

[mystiroakey]

Do notworry Scouse fans- Palace will do citeh later

[Hulking_up]

I feel sick

[skyeman]

Gerrard, needs to make amends. I would not want to be him at this moment in time.

[mystiroakey]

gerrard needs to remember that CL cup final second half.

[hampo17]

I feel sick

Don't worry, have faith. Chelsea have been dire, I am fully confident we will score.

[kingraf]

it is a little humorous.

[CFCNick]

What a joke, Chelsea playing the absolute worst kind of football and then that happens.

We are Chelsea. We don't give a toss as long as we win!

Steve Gerrard, Gerrard. He fell down like a special. It's a goal from Demba Ba. Cheers Gerrard, Gerrard. #CFC #KTBFFH

[skyeman]

Could Gerrard go through his career never having won a PL?

Massive mistake and a big, big second half.

[mystiroakey]

Baa is coming up with some seriously important goals at the minute- dont understand why he didnt play as the single striker v Athletico instead of tores

[compelling and rich]

Steve Gerrard Gerrard,
He'll pass a ball 40 yard,
Then slip like a proper re tard,
Steve Gerard Gerard.

[hampo17]

I await to see if Jose gets fined for changing so many players by the way, Ian Holloway and Mick McCarthy both received one in previous years. Not saying it's right but the FA could seriously pee him off with that.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

This is what happens when I back Liverpool. I've never done anything to that club, it just hates me so much

[skyeman]

Steve Gerrard Gerrard,
He'll pass a ball 40 yard,

A true Utd fan  

[hampo17]

Souness "Chelsea have been fantastic" get this clueless guy of my TV!
