We Go Again! The 2014/15 Premier League Thread

by Hammersmith harrier Sat Feb 21, 2015 7:45 pm

First topic message reminder :

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

by Hammersmith harrier Mon Mar 16, 2015 12:25 pm

The papers have been on our backs all season and obviously we'll get credit for our best performance of the season in an important crunch game.

by mystiroakey Mon Mar 16, 2015 12:32 pm

Lets make no bones about it - United are the biggest team in England if not the world. It doesn't matter their form or quality- They will allways get attention.

I was chatting to a dutch fan and a scottish fan the other day in europe watching the chelsea game and I said your clubs are big(celtic and Ajax)- and maybe it was the language barrier but i didn't mean good - I meant Big!

There is a big difference.. Unless you are Real/Barca/Bayern!!

I Like liverpool , and I am not a huge United fan- but I do believe if United do not go on to getting a CL spot the team is in a major amount of sh-t!

And that wouldn't necessarily be good for our league.

Next year united will top 8 the CL- we need to stay on top of our coefficient.

by Stella Mon Mar 16, 2015 12:51 pm

After this season, I'd rather see Utd be in the CL, than Liverpool. I can see Arsenal pipping City to second, and Utd getting fourth..........just.

by Azzy Mon Mar 16, 2015 12:53 pm

I'd love to see City finish 5th tbh, the way they treated Shaun Goater was a disgrace and it would serve them right for playing James Milner all season.

by Derbymanc Mon Mar 16, 2015 1:01 pm

What did they do to Goater?

by westisbest Mon Mar 16, 2015 1:02 pm

Is Milner rubbish now?

Always thought he was decent.

That's where I was going Laugh

It can't be a coincidence that the season where Milner finally gets some proper game time is the season City fail to mount a decent title challenge. Okay, Aguero may be 10% fit, and Kompany may have had a Freaky Friday moment with Pascal Cygan, but still.

by Stella Mon Mar 16, 2015 1:36 pm

Milner is a bit of a full guy. I don't think he's that bad, but that said, I haven't seen much of City, to say.

Is Yaya as influential as he used to be?

So he took Goater's food?

by mystiroakey Mon Mar 16, 2015 2:31 pm

Milner was the perfect/ideal sub for a good team. He isn't the perfect starter.

But a lot of the midfield issues city have had isn't on him- the two Fernadoooooos are as much to blame.

Yaya is still a beast of a player- just dont forget to give him a bday cake!!

Him or Yaya, after he didn't get his cake.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon Mar 16, 2015 2:34 pm

When he's up for it, frankly hes looked bored this year. Fernando was an unnecessary signing that hasn't worked as well

by NickisBHAFC Mon Mar 16, 2015 2:45 pm

Poyet gone.

Biggest justice the stupid arragant pri*k

by Stella Mon Mar 16, 2015 2:50 pm

McLaren will be back up in the north east next season, most probably with Newcastle, rather than Sunderland.

by Azzy Mon Mar 16, 2015 2:57 pm

He inherited an awful squad, somehow kept them up, then wasted tons of cash to make his awful squad a God-awful one. No surprise he's gone, a surprise he lasted this long. The Adam Johnson thing definitely hasn't helped him.

by NickisBHAFC Mon Mar 16, 2015 3:00 pm

Poyet wasting money on rubbish players surely not?

by Azzy Mon Mar 16, 2015 3:05 pm

van Aanholt, Buckley, Rodwell - not great signings. The wages for Jones were good value, but the wages for Pantilimon, Gomez and Reveillere were not. Defoe was a good signing, but only if you play a system that suits him. Lone striker is not it.

by mystiroakey Mon Mar 16, 2015 3:08 pm

I like Poyet.

He will be back at Brighton next year Wink

by NickisBHAFC Mon Mar 16, 2015 3:10 pm

Na Hughton is our man. Garcia was a much much better manager than Gus. Poyet is overrated.

by NickisBHAFC Mon Mar 16, 2015 3:15 pm

I think Poyet has hit the ceiling in terms of his managerial carrer.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon Mar 16, 2015 3:18 pm

He didnt do a great job with them at any point, never could get them up for anything but the big boys last year and this year hasnt done that. One dimensional manager who couldn't take Brighton any further cos he knew no way of changing his plan. Same has happened with Sunderland, but you get punished more harshly in this league. Paolo would have done a better job, i'm convinced. He benefited from Di Canio's pre-season and training style last year which is specifically designed to get the more out of players as the season goes on. This year he has just sat there and watched his team go to hit.

And he's an arrogant swine

by Guest Mon Mar 16, 2015 3:27 pm

Glad he's gone, couldn't stand him. basically the only good thing Poyet seemed to do was constantly beat Newcastle United. We have the Derby in two games time, hopefully we can finally beat them, but then there is the new manager effect lol.

by Azzy Mon Mar 16, 2015 3:31 pm

Better for Sunderland to have a rubbish manager and struggle, surely? Better the devil you know and all that.

by mystiroakey Mon Mar 16, 2015 3:36 pm

I think it was too late in the day. But if they survive they will use his sacking as the reason and if they fail they will say they shouldnt have sacked him so early.

I think its a stupid move. But none of us know the internals at sunderland.. We know that the passionate fans can provoke a response from the owners...And that could be there downfall.

I think if Aston Villa hadnt brought in sherwood and with that a hugely positive response quite late in the day poyet would have stuck..But they wont find a manager until summer- so its on the care taker- and that care taker at QPR does not have it in him.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon Mar 16, 2015 3:45 pm

Allardyce should be well up the top of their list, whether immediate or end of the season.

by mystiroakey Mon Mar 16, 2015 3:55 pm

Alaydyce deserves pl footy imo.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon Mar 16, 2015 3:55 pm

If hes not staying at the end of the season and doesnt retire, all if's, then QPR and Sunderland should both be throwing money at him

by mystiroakey Mon Mar 16, 2015 3:58 pm

Yes it would be a major scalp for both. But I can't see him going down to the champs.

by **hampo17** Mon Mar 16, 2015 8:02 pm

Need to make sure we win tonight, close the gap on United and keep our momentum going in to next week.

by **hampo17** Mon Mar 16, 2015 8:09 pm

Liverpool: Mignolet, Can, Skrtel, Sakho, Allen, Henderson, Lallana, Moreno, Coutinho, Sterling, Sturridge.

Subs: Jones, Johnson, Toure, Lovren, Gerrard, Lambert, Markovic.

Swansea: Fabianski, Naughton, Amat, Williams, Taylor, Ki, Cork, Shelvey, Sigurdsson, Routledge, Gomis.

Subs: Tremmel, Rangel, Britton, Dyer, Emnes, Montero, Oliviera.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon Mar 16, 2015 8:11 pm

There's time when I disagree that English football is far behind our European competitors. Then I look at Liverpool's line up, the form team in the country, and realise its true

by **hampo17** Mon Mar 16, 2015 8:15 pm

You mean you didn't realise that when the best team in the country failed to beat ten men last week?

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon Mar 16, 2015 8:17 pm

One tie is one tie, I still think Chelsea are in the top 5 in Europe, but the chasing pack in this country are so poor

by **hampo17** Mon Mar 16, 2015 9:26 pm

Not a fan of Sterling at wing back, can't defend at all and is constantly out of position.

by **Crimey** Mon Mar 16, 2015 9:28 pm

Very much like the Blackburn game this, aimless passing.

by **hampo17** Mon Mar 16, 2015 9:34 pm

Someone should tell the players they can get off the bus. Haven't turned up yet, stays like this it's a matter of time before Swansea get one.

by kingraf Mon Mar 16, 2015 9:38 pm

Not far behind. Just a cyclical thing I suppose. Don't think there's really a dominant league in Europe anymore. I would say though that the one thing that EPL really prides itself on, the "all action passion", has probably been the undoing a bit. Thinking of Terry wasting precious time holding on to the wrong jersey, and neither him nor Cahill taking the moment to sort it out (surely just needed a "WTF are you doing"), or Ox getting a little over excited chasing the game against Monaco, and being dispossessed in the build up to the third goal.

Also, this game is pretty bad

by lfc91 Mon Mar 16, 2015 9:53 pm

Liverpool players playing like they only met eachother for the first time before the game!

by **hampo17** Mon Mar 16, 2015 9:53 pm

Rooney is Rooky Laugh
