We Go Again! The 2014/15 Premier League Thread

by The Special Juan Mon Oct 20, 2014 3:49 pm

First topic message reminder :

Probably much easier to get motivated to play for AC Milan than QPR. But I agree with Crimey (for once Wink

), Taarabt should be fired for misconduct if this is true.

Also, I take about West Ham every week. Get a grip

by Guest Mon Oct 27, 2014 10:45 pm

What's wrong with getting carried away and a little crowing anyway? We're all prone to that, unless we are Ent Hug

When Liverpool win the Champions League this year you lot are getting it!

It's great seeing the likes of West Ham and Soton up there. Romance aint quite dead yet.

by westisbest Mon Oct 27, 2014 10:50 pm

No worries Dolph.

We've passed it round well again tonigh, just no end product.

The problem with us is we beat ourselves as much as other teams beat us.

Giving silly balls away,,school boy defending.
Both of those have cost us tonight.

P155es me off to be honest.

Pretty fed up with it.

Just on a bad run, these are the teams we need to be picking up points against.

Last season I would go off on one about certain players, just cant be bothered.

I love Villa, but we are such a frustrating team to support.

I am 100 per cent confident we will stay up though..

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Oct 27, 2014 10:51 pm

If villa had any sort of final ball they'd have won this by 3 or 4. Haven't put a good cross in all night

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Oct 27, 2014 10:56 pm

Also pretty impressive that since villa gave lambert a new deal they've lost five in a row and haven't scored.

Fantastic commitment to mediocrity

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon Oct 27, 2014 10:57 pm

Villa have enough to stay up, the transfer window added a few good things to a team that underachieved a few years in a row. I like Villa, I like the front three especially and I like Lambert. Premier League would be a poorer place without em.

And hell yes I'll crow, gotta enjoy this while I can!

by westisbest Mon Oct 27, 2014 11:01 pm

Lambert is not a premiership manager.

Out of his depth in the big league.

by Guest Mon Oct 27, 2014 11:02 pm

DZ, it should last until November 29th, when Ayoze Perez runs riot at the Boleyn & brings you back to reality thumbsup

by westisbest Mon Oct 27, 2014 11:05 pm

Back on tv sunday against Spurs.

Can I take 2 live games in a week being frustrated.

Its going to be a dog fight lads.

If palaces new owner comes in before transfer he may invest . but otherwise we are in a dog fight...

Villa, Sunderland , QPR, west brom, leicester and burnley are the others.

by Guest Mon Oct 27, 2014 11:28 pm

No chance WBA, good squad of technically sound players + they have the vital goalscorer in Berahino.

It's Burnley & then two from QPR, Leicester, Sunderland, Palace & Villa but I expect Villa, when Benteke regains full fitness & Delph returns, they should be fine.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Oct 27, 2014 11:31 pm

You've missed out Newcastle john

by mystiroakey Mon Oct 27, 2014 11:34 pm

The toon will be fine.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue Oct 28, 2014 1:32 am

I'm convinced Berahino will dry up eventually. Then its a worry

by Guest Tue Oct 28, 2014 12:02 pm

100% that Diafra Sakho's goals will dry up, then it's a worry for you.

by westisbest Tue Oct 28, 2014 12:42 pm

100% that Tekkers will come good soon.

Then its a worry for everyone Very Happy

Zarate, Downing, Valencia, Nolan, Carroll and Amalfitano can pick up the slack, mate, its fine. Even Carlton. Grow up

As would Sessegnon, Morrison, Brunt, Ideye, Anichebe, Dorrans, Gardner & McAuley from corners. So your original post of WBA being in trouble, if Berahino failed to score, was pretty pointless. I just don't appreciate people putting down Berahino or doubting his true ability.

You lost me here

by Guest Tue Oct 28, 2014 3:36 pm

You might want to see who scored against Palace this weekend mate. If he's mentioning Carroll & Nolan stepping up, who both haven't scored this season, the I'll add Anichebe, who's actually scored this season. Thankyou.

by GSC Tue Oct 28, 2014 3:40 pm

You might want to see when his last league goal before that was

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue Oct 28, 2014 3:50 pm

Least he replied to someone else this time. Hey, its not like Carroll hasnt played yet or Nolan has been out injured long term.

Nice to see you personally offended for Berahino, not like its his first real run of goalscoring. Not like West Brom looked awful before he got goals.

Need to knock that chip off your shoulder, boy

by Guest Tue Oct 28, 2014 4:27 pm

LiamB, just to add, when Cisse doesn't score for us, we've got Ayoze, Sammy, Obertan, Aarons, Williamson, Janmaat &........christ, we're in for a long season.

by mystiroakey Tue Oct 28, 2014 5:40 pm

I have just heard that the palace takeover american's NBA team is being fined for not paying the minimum amount in salary....!!!

Not good signs at all.

Why does he want palace?

We wont get a no.1 draft pick next year for being rubbish like you do in the NBA

Dont do it Parish,long and co.. Don't sell us out.

by mystiroakey Tue Oct 28, 2014 5:43 pm

whats going on with the time admin dudes. Unless i am drunk and mistaken its not 2:40 am.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue Oct 28, 2014 6:18 pm

Oh good, I'm not the only one who has travelled forward in time!

I hope the owners at Palace do due diligence, as should the FA. More so now after the mess of Birmingham. Gold and Sullivan claim their innocence, but surely someone could have found out enough about the new owner there to sort it out. Not something Palace deserve and the FA especially should be protecting clubs that are not only institutions but also protecting the fans from the sad fates that can occur from messed up takeovers.

Palace bottom 3 for sure with this news.

The annoying thing is our owners at present are true palace fans.

Martin long (who i have spoken to on occasion) used to go to every single away game for years..

I hope Parish is right to say the deal isnt done yet and therefore wont be done. Other sources are saying it will be done soon.

But either way we wont buy our way out of trouble.

I just dont get why this owner wants palace?

he doesn't spend , but then neither do the owners at present- but they are fans- they understand you cant just throw 100m at a club and guarantee a long term spot in the PL.

I would rather have fans that dont spend over an American owner that has zero idea about this game that doesn't spend.

I think he is only looking at it as an investment. the assets we have are probably worth slightly over 70m and even if we go down there is the tube line coming soon which will increase the teams reach and land value and the actual 'crystal palace' may be rebuilt by a rich Chinese businessman soon- which could put palace right back on the map.. The town itself is actually very much on the up. studio flats are being sold for a lot of money- when the tube gets there add on another 50%

Just watched the Qpr presser (late I know), is it me, or does Harry know a lot of press for an illiterate?

Come on now Dolph, I'm not worried at all. Berahino is only filling in at the moment anyway, you wait till Gorgeous Giorgios gets match-fit!

by mystiroakey Thu Oct 30, 2014 3:19 pm

He is English so common consensus is he will dry up- if he was foreign we would be talking about him like that flake at villa..

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu Oct 30, 2014 3:41 pm

Not the English thing, I just dont think hes 20 goal a season good yet, so there will be a period, as with most young strikers, when he'll dry up. Not even a criticism particularly, just happens. And I'm not about the rest of the attack

by mystiroakey Thu Oct 30, 2014 4:58 pm

how many strikers do you know at lower clubs in the PL that are 20 a goal per season strikers?

They dont exist, and they dont exist for a reason. They dont get the opportunities.

base young strikers on the percentage of chances converted and against what opposition. Its the only way.

by mystiroakey Thu Oct 30, 2014 5:12 pm

Only one striker has scored 20 or more goals in the last 10 years from a small club(the club also got relegated)

And yes it was and 'is again' a palace player Wink

by GSC Thu Oct 30, 2014 5:15 pm

didnt he have like 15 penalties or something

by mystiroakey Thu Oct 30, 2014 5:16 pm

No doubts . I am just trying to work out who won the penalties back then as zaha was just a baby!

by GSC Thu Oct 30, 2014 5:21 pm

11/21 goals from the penalty spot Laugh

He went full David Nugent

by **Mat** Thu Oct 30, 2014 5:42 pm

3/7 for Berahino off the top of my head, in the league.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu Oct 30, 2014 5:58 pm

You know what I mean, I dont see him as prolific yet.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat Nov 01, 2014 2:14 pm

Love that Pardew has seen Newcastle struggle and turned it rounding using the likes of Ameobi and Aarons. Why I like Pards, isn't scared of youth

by lfc91 Sat Nov 01, 2014 2:16 pm

Genuinely believe if you were putting together a short list for worst RBs in the league glen Johnson would easily make it on. Disaster of a player

by mystiroakey Sat Nov 01, 2014 2:16 pm

Liverpool looking scared out there.

by lfc91 Sat Nov 01, 2014 2:18 pm

Been a common occurrence this season mysti.
