We Go Again! The 2014/15 Premier League Thread

First topic message reminder :

such a shame Strootman got injured before the world cup. Think he'd be at the club otherwise. He should have been here last summer along with thiago but we ballsed it up and ended up with fellaini.

by CFCNick Sat Sep 13, 2014 5:31 pm

He's off now. Remy on.

when Chelsea turn on the style they sure look impressive, I know it's only Swansea but...

can't call this Mourinho team boring

You're gonna stroll to the league mate. Too much firepower, even if your defense is slightly creaky

by Josiah Maiestas Sat Sep 13, 2014 5:35 pm

No composure for Hazard to play an easy assist, good at dribbling n quick why can't he make a reasonable pass?

by Josiah Maiestas Sat Sep 13, 2014 5:38 pm

Costa is lethal like strychnine. 20+ goals surely in the league this year

Chelsea 4-1 Swansea - Loic Remy

by Mad for Chelsea Sat Sep 13, 2014 5:38 pm

4-1, Remy

Hazard and Oscar with great work in the build up.

This is superb clap

by **Crimey** Sat Sep 13, 2014 5:39 pm

Mignolet, Moreno, Lovren, Sakho, Manquillo, Gerrard, Henderson, Coutinho, Markovic, Lallana, Balotelli.
Sterling is on the bench. Good to see starts for Markovic and Lallana.

by Josiah Maiestas Sat Sep 13, 2014 5:41 pm

I've only seen Swansea 2 times attack in 2nd half, can't get the ball!

Nice finish remy.

by Fernando Sat Sep 13, 2014 5:41 pm

Sunderland 2-2 Spurs - Vlad Chiriches OG

Penalty to Burnley & it's missed with a top draw save by Julian Speroni

by kingraf Sat Sep 13, 2014 5:43 pm

To be fair, I don't think Mourinho has had a boring side since other than Chelsea. His Inter team were sometimes workmanlike, but they could turn on the fireboosters proper, and his Madrid team was on another planet with the counterattack.

by Fernando Sat Sep 13, 2014 5:44 pm

Chelsea 4-2 Swansea - Jonjo Shelvey

by Mad for Chelsea Sat Sep 13, 2014 5:45 pm

dopey defending from Chelsea, great run from Shelvea and a neat finish. 4-2

by Fernando Sat Sep 13, 2014 5:51 pm

Southampton 4-0 Newcastle - Morgan Schneiderlin

by Josiah Maiestas Sat Sep 13, 2014 6:06 pm

Same old Tottnumb. Newcastle shouldn't be getting thrashed like that.

by Ent Sat Sep 13, 2014 6:45 pm

Good chance for 2-0, bad miss from senderos.

by Ent Sat Sep 13, 2014 6:55 pm

Blatant dive from lalana and he should be off.

by **Crimey** Sat Sep 13, 2014 7:18 pm

Defensively all over the place and poor attacking wise, Lallana, Markovic and Balotelli still settling.

by Ent Sat Sep 13, 2014 7:25 pm

Sterling will make the difference when he comes pn

by Breadvan Sat Sep 13, 2014 7:35 pm

Thought Swans unbeaten run might end today. Decent first half but Chelsea's quality came thru. Costa's in my fantasy team so glass half full...

by **Hero** Sat Sep 13, 2014 8:02 pm

Good to see Balotelli up for it on his opening home game.

by **Crimey** Sat Sep 13, 2014 8:03 pm

I am still annoyed he was signed in the first place, he was awful today, looked totally unmotivated which is ridiculous. Most annoying moment was when Markovic was in a good spot to cross but he was on the floor pretending to be hurt for about 2 minutes. He spends half the game stood still it's crazy.

by Guest Sat Sep 13, 2014 8:14 pm

A whole lot of nothing from Liverpool really.

by mystiroakey Sat Sep 13, 2014 8:20 pm

Meeeeh....

by **Crimey** Sat Sep 13, 2014 8:22 pm

Really, really poor performance. I think Rodgers got the tactics all wrong and despite the problem of defending set pieces clearly being an issue game after game, very little has been done to sort it out. Not a single Liverpool player can be happy with how they played, Balotelli was a disgrace, I really think he needs to buck his ideas up. Hints of it at Tottenham and now it in full force here, he's just a massive baby.

by Guest Sat Sep 13, 2014 8:23 pm

Guzan coulda filmed a cigar advert during them 90 minutes. Shocking.

by **hampo17** Sat Sep 13, 2014 8:37 pm

Villa deserved the win, but they were filthy all game. How they only got one booking is beyond me. Senderos should have been off in the first half, could have easily changed the game.

That said Liverpool were dreadful. No pace in the play and constantly allowed Villa to get 11 men behind the ball.

by **Crimey** Sat Sep 13, 2014 8:58 pm

I do think the game would have been totally different had Liverpool not conceded that early goal but no excuse really. The sooner Sturridge gets back the better.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Sep 13, 2014 9:43 pm

I've said it all along, Lambert one on one with Rodgers always has his number...

by GSC Sun Sep 14, 2014 12:17 am

Might as well deliver the PL and CL trophies to Stamford Bridge already apparently

by Guest Sun Sep 14, 2014 12:19 am

Long way to go but I can only see City being able to trump them.

Edit: In the PL that is.

by The Special Juan Sun Sep 14, 2014 12:24 am

Not the CL just yet. Bayern have strengthened and the early signs for Barca are good. The FA Cup maybe.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Sep 14, 2014 12:36 am

Aston Villa - defying all footballing logic

A defence containing Alan Hutton, Phillips Senderos and Nathan Baker kept a clean sheet at Liverpool. Mental

by The Special Juan Sun Sep 14, 2014 12:41 am

Hey, Hutton's not that bad!! If he reproduced his international form at club level he'd be a decent RB for a mid table side.

by GSC Sun Sep 14, 2014 12:44 am

I like how the beeb spent 5 minutes tearing into Arsenals defending and ignore that Liverpool can't defend set pieces for crap

They were essentially slating arsenal for being attacking.

Every top team pushes there full backs on like that!

I also enjoyed the narrative of wilshere being lucky to get away with handball when it hits navas' arm first

Wilshere nudges it with his arm rather clearly before tbf

wilshire cant do anything right on these boards/media(the posters read to much of the later!!)

There are certain english players that just get ragged whatever they do.

by **Crimey** Sun Sep 14, 2014 10:39 am

Or perhaps it's because the more overrated a player by some quarters the more likely a counter argument becomes more noticeable. There is no point arguing that Joey Barton isn't that good, because we know he isn't. A lot of people believe Wilshere is a top class player so the debate happens more, same with Rooney, Welbeck or Carrick over the last couple of years.

by NickisBHAFC Sun Sep 14, 2014 11:31 am

Leo Ulloa is bossing this league.

Arsenal were class yesterday, but it was funny in a pub in London yesterday a man in his late 30's crying when Citeh made it 2-2. Bless him.

Palace not beating Burnley at home. Worrying.

Chelsea won't lose a game this season.

by Hammersmith harrier Sun Sep 14, 2014 11:36 am

Genuinely looking forward to todays game, be good to see how the new players perform and hopefully we win to put us right back in the frame for the top four. Having had a disastrous start we could find ourselves just a point behind both Arsenal and Liverpool if we win.

by Guest Sun Sep 14, 2014 12:01 pm

I can see Utd clicking today and obliterating QPR. Could be a cricket score.

Apparently Terry never apologised to Rio for alleged racist abuse to his brother. Rio really is an attention seeker

Maybe, but if someone I am/was in a team with said or did something to a younger sibling, I'd accept the common courtesy of an explanation.

by NickisBHAFC Sun Sep 14, 2014 12:56 pm

Rio making a story about him? Surley not! Think United will grind it out today tbh.

by **Crimey** Sun Sep 14, 2014 12:57 pm

The problem being that an apology is also a kind of admission of guilt and I am sure John Terry still protests his innocence privately.

by Hammersmith harrier Sun Sep 14, 2014 1:01 pm

Shock horror, Rio is slightly peeved that a former international team mate of his racially abused his own brother, let's all make him the bad guy in all this and yet again let the perpetrator off.

by Nakatomi Plaza Sun Sep 14, 2014 1:16 pm

Think once legal proceedings started it was difficult for Terry to apologise until that had ended. Once it had ended, he should have apologised to Anton at least, rather than play the victim.

Reading the extract from Ferdinand's autobiography on the BBC I can see why he was peeved, as both Ferdinand's received death threats and racist abuse in the aftermath.
