We Go Again! The 2014/15 Premier League Thread

by kingraf Sat Nov 29, 2014 8:42 pm

First topic message reminder :

You're both quite awful, but I wouldn't rule anybody out of anything yet. Liverpool are THIRTEENTH and they are just five points off a CL spot (although, they might give up on it this year, so they can make a run for it next year). The teams are just all so close this season, u don't think it would have even cleared up by Christmas (except Chelsea winning the league, they should be coronated by then). Citeh are basically trying the Suárez trick with Agüero, and while it's working at the moment, I'd say with his injury track record, the one with the thunder thighs is not someone you want to base your entire season around. If Agüero's out, Citeh struggle (hell, with Agüero in they've made heavy weather). I'd back both Utd and Arsenal to make it, but If Southampton can make it out of December still top five, I think it begins to get interesting

I think he means from the first strike by kane

by Fernando Sun Nov 30, 2014 4:24 pm

I think the deflection off Jagielka pushed it further away then Howard expected hence the poor push out towards the wing.

by NickisBHAFC Sun Nov 30, 2014 4:29 pm

Yeah exactly. Really do like Harry Kane, think he does have potential. English as well, always a bonus.

And the second one as well...he's diving like a lunatic before Erikson's even hit it

by mystiroakey Sun Nov 30, 2014 4:37 pm

Chip it and you beat Howard all day. Hit it low and he spreads well.

by Fernando Sun Nov 30, 2014 4:46 pm

Well the world is going down the crapper

Spurs 2-1 Everton - Roberto Soldado.

by NickisBHAFC Sun Nov 30, 2014 4:48 pm

2-1 Tottenham. Great game of football. 2 exciting sides. Harry Kane has been outstanding. Made that goal for Soldado there.

by **Mat** Sun Nov 30, 2014 4:48 pm

Nice finish. Been an enjoyable game.

by Guest Sun Nov 30, 2014 4:50 pm

Barry the crab is awful. 10 seconds to go just bang it up field.

He did it again, he's on the floor before soldado has even hit it! Stand up man!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Nov 30, 2014 5:13 pm

Everton need to get Eto'o off, slowing everything down and means Barkley isn't in the game as much.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun Nov 30, 2014 5:38 pm

I hate myself for saying it but I do like Ryan Mason

by mystiroakey Sun Nov 30, 2014 7:20 pm

2 good teams. I wouldn't be surprised it they occupy 5th and 6th. But Tottenham did control things well at home. Kane and soldado together could actually be potent.

Welcome back to England, Mario!

Do not take the actively-looking-for-offence brigade to heart.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue Dec 02, 2014 1:41 am

I mean why if you're a professional footballer would you post something like that. How dumb do you actually have to be?

by **Crimey** Tue Dec 02, 2014 1:42 am

He is beyond an idiot. The sooner he is sold to the next stupid club to think they can actually turn him into something resembling a professional the better.

by lfc91 Tue Dec 02, 2014 8:28 am

I personally feel a 10 game ban is in order...(anything to stop him being able to start games for Liverpool!!)

by mystiroakey Tue Dec 02, 2014 8:33 am

Just sell him and quick. I think he is a virus and does nothing for morale at any club he goes to. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but i cant help but feel some of Liverpool's problems are just down to him being about.

by Guest Tue Dec 02, 2014 10:09 am

Embarrassing on all levels is Mario. Brendan, what a signing!

As for who buys him, Milan with Torres & Inter with Mancini are out the question. Russia, he'd get abused silly. South America might be the next option. The further he gets away from Liverpool the better.

by westisbest Tue Dec 02, 2014 10:44 am

Off to Palace Villa tonight.

3 draws on the spin. Need to get the 3 points tonight.
Benteke is back from suspension, wont be 100%.

Have to cut out the silly mistakes.

To have any chance of winning, we need to be 2 goals ahead.
The last time we scored 2 in a game was our 2-1 win at home to Hull in august.

Fck it, I'm going for 2-1 Villa.

Benteke & Gabby.

C'mon the Villa boys.

by mystiroakey Tue Dec 02, 2014 10:48 am

I wish I could say good luck westy.. But I can not Wink

I think we have to much for you as well. The lads are starting to play well.

by westisbest Tue Dec 02, 2014 10:58 am

Will be tough. Difficult place to go.

Would I take a draw, yes.

We need to start winning though.
Looking forward to it.
Last time I was at Selhurst Park we lost 4-1, think Southgate was playing for you.

I've not seen us win(live) since we beat Norwich 3-2 in october? 11.
Since then I have seen us play about 10 times, no league wins,(saw us beat Bradford home in semi final).

So the omens are good for Palace, maybe I should'nt go.
But then again I am due to see us win.

by mystiroakey Tue Dec 02, 2014 11:45 am

I am embarrassed by the fact the only game i have been to in the last 3 years was the play off final at Wembley...

by westisbest Tue Dec 02, 2014 11:57 am

Only go to about 5 games a season tops.
Trickier now being a dad.

Only going tonight, cos i got a half day at work.
Shame it was'nt a saturday game.

Last game I was at was Newcastle in august.
Plan to do saints last away game of season, maybe 1 before that.

by mystiroakey Tue Dec 02, 2014 12:00 pm

Have you got to travel far?

Its wet and nasty in south London at the moment!

Turkey might be an option, USA or China if he's not bothered about remaining in a really competitive environment. There are probably still a few teams in Italy who would take a chance with him, Napoli where Higuain has been struggling, Roma are trying to challenge for the league. Monaco might have him since they don't have Falcao any more.

I'm sure there are clubs who would definitely be stupid enough to take him at a cut-price deal, just like Liverpool were in the summer. As much as a lot of problems this season can be attributed to Rodgers, I'm not sure Balotelli can, by all accounts Rodgers was totally against the deal and it was only when nobody else could be brought in that he finally accepted it.

Come now, are you telling us Brendan was forced to toe the party line by saying he was pleased with the signing of Balotelli when he really wasn't? My ghast has never been so flabbered!!!!!!!

What a cut-throat sneaky underhanded business this football lark is. I hope there's some kind of professional body out there who are willing and able to actively investigate this sort of thing.

maybe Arsene can offer you Sanogo & £1 for him Whistle

Coming from bournemouth.

Main concern is roadworks and general evening traffic.
Leaving at 3:45.

Kick off not till 8.

Burnley might be catching the Toon at the right time. Our unbeaten run was great, but if we lose tonight, that is our bubble well & truly blown, with shocking fixtures to come. Can see Newcastle being slowly dragged back down over Xmas, if we lose tonight. No Coloccini, Krul, Janmaat is a ?, Sissoko, Colback, Aarons or R. Taylor. Long term we still have Obertan, De Jong & Santon out too.

I have been driving back and forth from salisbury/brighton/southampton/selsey in recent months.. The roadworks are a nightmare at present.. every road coming back in from the south has road works

you will be fine leaving at this time though..

Main advice- get of on junction 6 M25- not 7

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue Dec 02, 2014 4:41 pm

Brendan didn't want Balotelli my balls. They got caught out enquiring about him way in advance and clearly bottled going for Bony, which as a good manager he could have pushed for.

Nolan not Noble in our side. Little worried about our team. Nolan, Downing and Zarate wont defend and will get in each other's way

by mystiroakey Tue Dec 02, 2014 7:41 pm

Zaha is starting over puncheon...interesting. This is a big game for us. Its all about beating the teams close at home.
