Barclays Premier League 13/14 Thread Part 'x'

[Duty281]

First topic message reminder :

Superb by Mourinho. When are Liverpool at their most dangerous? The first thirty minutes of games; that is, generally, when they tear teams apart.

Not allowed to do that today, though, even against a very weakened Chelsea side. Liverpool didn't get a clear chance all game, and one costly, costly error gave Chelsea what they needed.

That and frustration, as Liverpool rapidly ran out of ideas and invention.

Back in City's hands now - another title won on goal difference?

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

We've picked up 8 pts away, scored the least goals away, conceded the most.

More chance of pigs flying than us getting a result today, I just hope we show a little fight

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Championship>Corporate League anyway

To some extent I agree

[Fernando]

Arsenal team to play West Brom: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Flamini, Arteta, Cazorla, Ozil, Podolski, Giroud

Arsenal subs: Fabianski, Jenkinson, Vermaelen, Kallstrom, Rosicky, Diaby   , Sanogo

West Brom: Foster, Dawson, Lugano, Olsson, Brunt, Amalfitano, Mulumbu, Morrison, Dorrans, Sessegnon, Berahino.

Subs: Myhill, Anichebe, O’Neil, Sinclair, Vydra, McAuley, Yacob

[kingraf]

Put a penny on Giroud at 6/1... Printing money

champs = prem

both have there pluses and negatives...

great leagues.

[NickisBHAFC]

Another positive Olly, you get more football to watch and more Saturday 3pm kick offs rather than stupid times at like 1:30 on a Sunday afternoon!

[Liam]

Sky 'WBA are a sacking club'.

2 managers in 5 years.

Mel's appointment hasn't worked. It has, they were falling at Norwich's rate under Clarke.

[NickisBHAFC]

Clarke should never have been sacked. Mel has done ok since taking over though. Think it will be interesting to see what he can do next season.

[mystiroakey]

Another year of johns life

Giroud!

I loved the Mel's appointment hasn't worked bit, after they showed a graphic where it had Mel getting more points per game than Clarke

Idiots only care about the top few clubs

[Liam]

Nick,

I think you're the only man to this day who still thinks Clarke shouldn't have been sacked. Ask every wba fan and most football fans in general and you could see he was taking them down. 6 wins in a calender year? Don't think you'd be too happy with that at Brighton.

Giroud get's his traditional goal against one the lower teams.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Anyways #hughtontowba in the summer

Book it

[NickisBHAFC]

Great header by Giroud there. 

Gonna be a long old afternoon for West Brom i think.

Agree Olly, its just embarrassing. Especially when they put that graphic up going completely against their argument!!

They just wanted Clarke to do well but he was awful.

what has cost chelsea the title?

Not scoring enough against lesser teams

[Hammersmith harrier]

They have picked up 15 points in the 14 games that Mel has been in charge of compared to 15 points in the 16 games that Clarke was in charge for, don't think the sacking has made a blind bit of difference really.

[Duty281]

Pepe Mel seems to be a very bland, uninspiring manager - a bit like Magath at Fulham, whom I was expecting more from.

Anyway, this game is a dead rubber.

[kingraf]

Jeez, that didn't take long. thank Olivier. I'm in the money

[kingraf]

[mystiroakey]

1 penny bet???

kidding right?

[kingraf]

I am kidding. put a tenner. Im not even sure if I'm allowed to bet with a penny

[GSC]

I heard Hughton to be Pearces #2 a while ago

[mystiroakey]

nah i doubt you are mate...

[kingraf]

Having a good year at the bookie, nothing like last year, but I'm still quite pleased.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

I hate the Emirates Cup #thejokeisaboutthismatchmeaningnothingLOL

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Wow just when you think it can't get anymore depressing watching Norwich you see that line up

[GSC]

Loic Remy at the Emirates

[socal1976]

The worst striker in the world scores his 22 goal of season.

[GSC]

Sky Sports Football ‏@SkyFootball 2m

#CFC team vs #NCFC: Schwarzer; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Cole; Lampard, Matic; Salah, Willian, Schurrle; Ba

#NCFC team vs #CFC: Ruddy; Martin (c), R Bennett, Turner, Whittaker; Tettey; Snodgrass, Johnson, Howson, Olsson; Elmander.

Strong Chelsea team

[GSC]

Hooper and RVW on the bench for a must win game

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Feeling pretty confident of the 6-0 bet after seeing those lineups

[Fernando]

Berahino falls over    Like a newly born Giraffe

[kingraf]

Placed some money on Chelsea by four goals, lets see.

[Fernando]

Anyone disappointed with the end of season.

No final day drama when Norwich go down, No race for 4th, Citeh strolling to the title after Gerrard bottled it by letting it roll under his feet then slipped over.

FT 1-0 - Giroud on the scoresheet, Remy in the directors box. Someone is trying to depress John   

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Today Toby Alderweireld starts for Atletico, 2 victories away from the title.

He could have been playing for us. Lad took some good advice.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Cant wait to see Remy in an Arsenal side.

There's still drama in the title, but a rubbish season can end nice and quietly.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Get up you poof

[Fernando]

Naughty by Turner. Elbowed Ba in the gut.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

PENALTY

[Fernando]

How is that not a pen?

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Another thing about this league I won't miss

Big team bias refereeing, absolute bs

[mystiroakey]

Gutting

[NickisBHAFC]

Should of been a penalty there.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I'm looking forward to all these decisions evening themselves out over the season...

Oh wait no, not unless you're a top team they dont

[NickisBHAFC]

Think Referee's are just shi*e as a whole, the money grabbing useless ba*tards known as the FA are more to blame.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

*crosses finger Johnson has to be taken off*

[kingraf]

Keep going Olly, maybe by the end of the season you'd have convinced yourself that watching Aguerro, Suarez et al is actually overrated, and a midweek trip to Doncaster is the shiz niz

[westisbest]

When you do go down olly, would you mind not coming on here and moaning at how bad you are every day. Thanks 

I shall do it on the Championship thread instead my friend   

Much appreciated 

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Well despite as much as I enjoy paying 50 quid to watch Suarez destroy my team, I don't mind trips to these teams where you've actually got a chance of seeing a competitive game

[kingraf]

Nearly there.
