We Go Again! The 2014/15 Premier League Thread

[The Special Juan]

First topic message reminder :

Probably much easier to get motivated to play for AC Milan than QPR. But I agree with Crimey (for once ), Taarabt should be fired for misconduct if this is true.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Balotelli is getting some unfair stick (the whole shirt outrage was just well, laughable) but he really should be scoring that chance at the end and ultimately he doesn't score enough. Never has done, never will do

[Guest]

His attitude has always been the issue. It's worse now than it was at any of his previous clubs. I watched a few Milan games last season and he tended to break sweat now and again.

He's a child in a mans body. Great character, just a player you wouldn't want at your club.

Shirt swapping in general boils my p!ss.

[Ent]

Problem with balotelli is he has ability but is lacking in both intelligence and work ethic.

Add to that the publicity around him and you get unfair expectation and then unfair criticism.

[Guest]

I get bored of the Balotelli discussions. He's a pretty average footballer, who produces moments of brilliance about two times a season. Balotelli's never been prolific, he's about a ten goal a season striker, at best. Didn't surprise me Rodgers panicked & signed him because Rodgers has continually showcased his inefficiency in the market. I mean, £20m on Markovic is just laughable, along with £18m on Sakho. If Mario is to achieve anything this season, he needs the running work & creativity of Sterling & Sturridge around him & for those two to remain fit, otherwise Liverpool are in serious trouble.

As for Pellegrini, pressure mounts quickly at top clubs & he should of expected it. He's basically failing in Europe, shown no progress in comparison to Mancini & if they have a lacklustre defence of their PL title, then it wouldn't surprise me too see him removed. His signings have also been rather average in Mangala & Fernando, along with Navas, Jovetic & the pointless Sagna.

[Ent]

Pelligrini will be gone this summer as they won't ho far in the cl and chelsea will win the league.

It is worrying for the rest of the league as when city get a competent manager they will win everything.

Looks like a delayed KO at Old Trafford. 

Chelsea fans stuck at London Euston.

[The Special Juan]

Who's more annoying piers Morgan or Russell brand

Jobbie Savage

[kingraf]

I quite like Brand. He's a hopeless anarchist, with no viable alternative... but he bagged Katy Perry, so you've got to admire his pulling power.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

What a header that is

[NickisBHAFC]

1-0 Everton. Eto nice goal.

[NickisBHAFC]

1-1. Good build up play by Burnley and Danny Ings showing the player he was last season. Great striker hope he has a good season.

[NickisBHAFC]

2-1 Everton. Lukaku. Fun while it lasted for Burnley.

[The Special Juan]

Oh dear Spurs...

[Guest]

Yyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fu** off Spurs!!!!!!!!

[Gerry SA]

No Falcao, Jones or Young for Manchester United. Herrera drops to the bench. 

Smalling at CB. Felliani in midfield. Waste of space Januzaj starts as well. 

No Costa for Chelsea. Drogba starts.

[Fernando]

Chavski: Courtois, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Felipe Luis, Fabregas, Matic, Willian, Oscar, Hazard, Drogba
Chavski Bench:Cech, Zouma, Ake, Mikel, Baker, Salah, Schurrle. 


Manure: De Gea, Rafael, Smalling, Rojo, Shaw, Blind, Fellaini, Mata, Januzaj, Di Maria, Van Persie
Manure Bench: Lindegaard, Blackett, Fletcher, Carrick, Herrera, A.Pereira, Wilson

[The Special Juan]

This could get ugly (even uglier if Costa was playing).

[Ent]

Hope we can keep the score down.

Going to be men against boys in midfield as fellaini is useles and mata and januzaj don't do any work.

[Guest]

It'll be a 2-2 draw. Have faith Ent.

[Fernando]

Im going 165-0 nah ive got 4-4 for Poopie and giggles

[Guest]

What a win!!!!! Back to back wins. Good luck pochettino with Spurs.

[Ent]

It'll be a 2-2 draw. Have faith Ent.

Chelsea will dominate the ball and our defense isn't good enough to hold out.

Fingers crossed anyway!

[NickisBHAFC]

Good wins for Everton and Newcastle today.

[Fernando]

Rafael booked for pulling Hazard back.

80 mins vs Hazard - I don't see Rafael being on the pitch at the end of 90mins.

[NickisBHAFC]

Suspect United will bring on Blackett and move smalling out to RB at half time.

[The Special Juan]

And I thought he'd turned a corner recently. Faffael.

[Fernando]

Drogba joins Faffael in the book

[CFCNick]

Corners have been Poopie

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

What a save by courtois

[The Special Juan]

Drogba joins Faffael in the book

Diving, was it?

Pulled Mata down on the break

[The Special Juan]

I'm not watching it, there's a great darts match on ITV4 and tennis too.

[The Special Juan]

Darts is over. Chelsea look by far the most balance and complete PL team since the Utd team of 07/08.

[Fernando]

Just as well Smalling just grappled Ivanovic to the ground at the corner - No Penalty

#NoOneGetsDecisionsATOldTrafford

[Hammersmith harrier]

More likely to get the decision if you haven't got your arms wrapped round the defender at the same time Nando.

[Fernando]

Only seeing what you want as usual HH. If Smalling didn't have hold of him he wouldn't be trying to get him off

Matic booked.

[NickisBHAFC]

Great save by De Gea to deny Drogba.

[Hammersmith harrier]

I'm seeing what actually happened Nando, it's a typical free kick tussle where the attacker has more to gain by going down, Smalling more to blame but Ivanovic didn't help matters.

[Fernando]

So why does everyone that isn't a United fan think it's a penalty yet you the United fan think it isn't...

It's not a tussle when you have someone in a headlock

[NickisBHAFC]

Great chance for Mata and he performs a Johnny Wilkinson impression.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Smallings only got him in a choke hold. #ofcourseneverapen 

[Hammersmith harrier]

I wonder why Nando because most football fans seem more concerned with seeing United fail than they are about their own team.

[The Special Juan]

Yeah it probably was a penalty but against Chelsea's thugs it would be somewhat ironic.

[Fernando]

No one cares about you poxy mid-table side anymore HH. It's a penalty every day of the week.

It's interesting that a small side like Stoke get pulled on it, Yet United don't


For Future reference: You can't say Citeh/Chelsea buy the title anymore now you've spend over 100m just to get back into the top 4

[kingraf]

Don't really know why anyone thought United would be put to the sword. It's not in Mou's nature to dismantle teams. Chelsea will sneak a goal, maybe a really good one and just shut up shop.

[The Special Juan]

Aha, I have it!! Naffael!

[Dolphin Ziggler]

United been the better side

[NickisBHAFC]

United been the better side but Chelsea look more likely to score imo.

[CFCNick]

Didier Drogba, la la la, la la. Didier Drogba, la, la la, la la!
