We Go Again! The 2014/15 Premier League Thread

by Hammersmith harrier Sat Feb 21, 2015 6:45 pm

First topic message reminder :

Silva has just won me a tidy £640, next goalscorer and City to score at least five, woohoo.

by NickisBHAFC Sat Mar 14, 2015 7:22 pm

Sean Dyche is an incredible manager.

Do feel sorry for city mind, clear penalty at the end.

by Ent Sat Mar 14, 2015 7:22 pm

City awful.

Too easy to play against. The likes of toure need to take a long hard look at themselves.

Don't have a prayer away to barcelona.

by Ent Sat Mar 14, 2015 7:24 pm

Sunderland not looking too good now.

Got to worry if they are losing at home to villa.

by Guest Sat Mar 14, 2015 7:25 pm

Man City finishing 2nd seemed a gimmee. Not anymore.

Poor result, again. Horrible day for QPR.

by Ent Sat Mar 14, 2015 7:26 pm

City should still be second comfortably.

They'll be out of cl midweek and had nothing else left to play for. Arsenal will start losing again when the pressure is on.

by Guest Sat Mar 14, 2015 7:29 pm

Arsenal get their sh!t done in the final 3rd of the season. Agree that City should finish 2nd but wouldn't bet on it.

Makes the league interesting I suppose. Congrats to Chelsea.

by Guest Sat Mar 14, 2015 7:33 pm

thats manuel gone this summer, for sure. need a propa clearout this summer, navas, jovetic, clichy, lampard should all be gone, maybe even yaya toure. quite clear his engine is fading & his wages will hold the club back with ffp, with mancini interested, definitely a possibilty. chelsea handed the title really today. what was a horrible day for poyet, just got worse.

Why would they worry if they are losing to us. Not like they are any better than us.

the way they lost.

4-0 at home to a side who have struggled to score and hadn't scored away for what 4 months?

by NickisBHAFC Sat Mar 14, 2015 7:51 pm

Sunderland have a poor manager.

by Ent Sat Mar 14, 2015 7:57 pm

What crap Henry spews. Other teams involved in the title challenge.

If chelsea take 4 points from their 2 games in hand they are 10 clear of arsenal with 9 games to go.

I'd suggest they should worry because they've made Villa - who haven't been able to hit a barn door all season look like Barcelona

by westisbest Sat Mar 14, 2015 8:47 pm

Partly down to a poor manager.
Sherwood slowly turning us around.

We'll take looking like Barcelona, cheers.

To me, looks like that Villa-Burnley game on the final day will be the decider. Tasty

Gotta fancy the claret and blues to win that one. Biggie, indeed.

Think QPR and Leciester are goners. Between Burnley, Sunderland and Villa for the final spot I recon.

I think we will be safe by then.

Confidence up now. As long as we continue to pick up points, also teams below keep losing, we'll be fine by last day.

That is checkmate, Westy. I'll get my coat! Run

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat Mar 14, 2015 10:06 pm

Just as I say Sunderland will be safe cos of the teams below them Burnley go and pull that out, and end the title race too

by Guest Sat Mar 14, 2015 10:27 pm

Great win today for WBA against an in form Stoke, nice to see Ideye scoring again. Villa games were a disappointment, but I knew our home form should see us safe. Just so glad the Pulis appointment came at the right time, we needed to get the points on board before our horrifying last five games. I'm guessing one more win should see us safe, anything above 36 points should do it.

Just a question, out of QPR & Leicester, do you think any players will be in demand? I'd like to see us try & sign Austin & Mahrez

by Fernando Sat Mar 14, 2015 10:32 pm

QPR: Austin,Fer,Taarabt (if gets fit),Caulker,Sandro & Faurlin (see Taarabt)
Leicester: Kramaric,Mahrez,Kasper,Schlupp & Huth

Could do a job for a midtable side or lower end.

by Ent Sat Mar 14, 2015 10:34 pm

If 5-6 of both teams were capable of mid table they wouldn't be getting relegated.

Austin from qpr is probably te only one.

by Guest Sat Mar 14, 2015 10:38 pm

What can Poyet do when his players defend like that? Zero effort.

You'd think they want their manager sacked looking at that F/H performance.

by westisbest Sat Mar 14, 2015 10:40 pm

Sherwood getting the best out of Gabby, Bacuna & N'zogbia.

Would take Austin.

by NickisBHAFC Sat Mar 14, 2015 10:40 pm

Fantastic seeing the scenes at the staidum of light. Maybe Gus doesn't think he is the best manager in the world anymore.

You must be kidding? Steve Gritt for keeping us up in league two (then division 3) is.

Also I have prefered Hughton, Oscar, Slade, Adams, Taylor, McGhee and Coppell.

So in your mind having 5-6 mid table quality players in an entire squad should be enough to allow a team to avoid relegation from the premier league? For me 6 decent players (mid table standard) surrounded by championship quality players will always be likely candidates for relegation.

I dunno, id say Brighton were better with him

Tbf he got out at the right time. He took them to there ceiling

by Guest Sat Mar 14, 2015 10:55 pm

There's never a wrong time to get out of Brighton.

by NickisBHAFC Sat Mar 14, 2015 10:56 pm

Cracking goal by George Boyd. Top player delighted he is enjoying his football in the premiership.

by JDizzle Sat Mar 14, 2015 10:57 pm

Man City players surrounding the ref. Disgraceful. Whistle

Usually pretty easy to get in the back way

by NickisBHAFC Sat Mar 14, 2015 10:59 pm

Hahaha. You watch I bet that happened in most games from premiership to pub football. Everyone surrounds the ref, part of the game.

by Guest Sat Mar 14, 2015 11:00 pm

Premier League, Nick. Premier League.

This ain't Scotland.

by NickisBHAFC Sat Mar 14, 2015 11:11 pm

Cracking goal by Giroud. He is underrated, very very good player.

I recon Arsenal will end 2nd and it will be fully deserved.

by NickisBHAFC Sat Mar 14, 2015 11:13 pm

One thing no one has mentioned. Full credit to Pellegrini. Didn't blame the ref like 19 other managers do on a weekly basis.

by NickisBHAFC Sat Mar 14, 2015 11:24 pm

Yeah that goal from Matt Phillips was awesome. Best goal this season by a country mile.

by Guest Sat Mar 14, 2015 11:28 pm

I prefer team goals. Andre Schurrle's goal against Burnley was quite brilliant

by mystiroakey Sat Mar 14, 2015 11:30 pm

Tbh I just think speroni is a little short. I could see a taller keeper keeping that out.

Still a good hit.

I am a team goal man. Those Arsenal goals were special.

by **Mat** Sat Mar 14, 2015 11:40 pm

Good win today. No idea how Brown is scoring these goals after his early season form, not complaining though.

by Soldier_Of_Fortune Sun Mar 15, 2015 12:29 am

I have to say, Sunderland fans walking out after 3-0 even 4-0.....embarrassing.

I can remember a certain Newcastle 4-0 at Arsenal and came back. Joke supporters

Starting for you, yeah pretty much.

Look at the midtable sides, you are looking at players like Reid, song, shawcross, bojan, sigurdson, ki etc

6 players of that standard in and around your first 11 you ain't going down with the crap that clogs up the pl.
