We Go Again! The 2014/15 Premier League Thread

by Ent Sun Apr 12, 2015 10:36 pm

First topic message reminder :

Missed the game today Sad

great result!

City have bought terribly since they won the title in 11/12, 100s of millions and no real certain starters or class players introduced.

They've prospered in a relative decline of the pl, picking up the top players from the non top 4 and the sub elite Europeans was good enough as a base but they didn't kick on and it has showed in Europe and this season.

6 wins in a row for United, city, Spurs and Liverpool in that run.

Top 4 all but secured, big test next week against chelsea.

Christ, we need to win today.

Could be in bottom 3 this evening.

by **Hero** Sat May 02, 2015 1:27 pm

Newcastle should start selling half season tickets.

by Ent Sat May 02, 2015 1:52 pm

Just read about Rios wife passing away, very sad.

by Guest Sat May 02, 2015 1:53 pm

3-0 goal difference taking a hammering

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat May 02, 2015 1:59 pm

Dreadfully sad for Rio.

by Ent Sat May 02, 2015 2:01 pm

Will 35 points be enough?

Sunderland would need 2 wins from 5 games to overtake.

Leicster look like they can get a few points, hull would over take if they beat Burnley.

Villa have a win in them. Could come down to goal difference if Newcastle lose their last 3.

Worth getting rid of carver? Even a draw would help.

Well, at least McLaren is free from tomorrow...

Aye only 36, 3 kids.

Puts it all in perspective really.

Ladies & Gentleman, Mike 'Donkey' Williamson'!

Thank god for that padding

Not much difference between him and Carver lately

by **Hero** Sat May 02, 2015 2:10 pm

A number of people over the years have had digs at Rio but I'll always remember the time he decided to do a 30 minute 1-on-1 training session with my son then the guy will always be in high regards to myself. Cannot imagine the heartache both he and his young family are in right now.

Really don't get why no PL teams seem interested in taking a shot on Warburton.

If anything, that's the only positive out of today's result, is that he won't be available for the next home game

He's currently employed is one I guess

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat May 02, 2015 2:26 pm

Nice touch from Liverpool giving lilies to the QPR team/bench.

West Ham will be showing a picture of Rio and his wife, and the fans will sing his name on the 5th minute.

by **Crimey** Sat May 02, 2015 2:29 pm

As much as Nigel Pearson is a total nut-case as a person, he's got to get some credit for what seems like keeping Leicester up. I was sure for most of the season that they were gone. Eseteban Cambiasso has been such a good signing as well, destined to be a cult name for them for the years to come. I expected him to be gone before Christmas, but he's been one of their most committed players.

by Guest Sat May 02, 2015 2:40 pm

Janmaat sent off too, out of the WBA game

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat May 02, 2015 2:46 pm

Cambiasso would be close to my team of the year. Outstanding in many games

A plane flies over Anfield towing a banner which read 'Rodgers out Rafa in'.

35 points is not looking clever

by Guest Sat May 02, 2015 3:23 pm

At this rate, 17th position is going to be needing at least 38 points

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat May 02, 2015 3:23 pm

Penalty to West Ham

Great goal from Liverpool.

It has really frustrated me seeing Balotelli being given chance after chance and throwing it away, and Lambert working from scraps.

You've still got that plane for an hour, knock up a "Mario off, Ricky on" banner

I have never shown any indication of sacking Rodgers for Rafa!

by **Crimey** Sat May 02, 2015 3:33 pm

And if I could afford to hire a plane, I'd have it flown straight into Mario Balotelli's forehead.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat May 02, 2015 3:39 pm

Carver has apparently said he believes Williamson got himself sent off on purpose to avoid relegation battle.

by Guest Sat May 02, 2015 3:41 pm

Strong words from Carver, there. How does either man prove otherwise.

Can of worms.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat May 02, 2015 3:46 pm

Villa 2-0 Everton - Benteke (again)

by Guest Sat May 02, 2015 3:47 pm

Mike Williamson has been out of his depth for years, total embarrassment. Carver is a joke, failed time & time again to motivate these players & continually looking for someone else to blame, other than himself. He's totally clueless, the tactics are all over the shop & him giving out a detailed version in a press conference of our main weaknesses, including set-pieces, was unforgivable. As I said, he's not totally to blame, however, it's clear he's incapable of handling this job & if he loves the club as much as the fans, he would step down immediately, to give someone else the opportunity to save us from relegation.

Every time I read something about Carver it makes me wonder if the whole thing is some weird piece of performance art.

Bottom Half as it stands..

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat May 02, 2015 3:54 pm

I can't work out whether its Carver or Sherwood that is actually a new Steve Coogan character and we haven't realised.

by Guest Sat May 02, 2015 3:54 pm

Ashley must be browning his pants now, surely time for an intervention? No leadership to be seen on the pitch or off it. Carver's record is simply shocking. You've got to think just getting a new man in, even Beardsley or someone & hope you get the 'manager boost' for one result

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat May 02, 2015 4:01 pm

MailOnline Sport twitter headline:

"Leicester move closer to safety after beating football's equivalent of a corpse"

by Guest Sat May 02, 2015 4:06 pm

my mate says jamie o'hara did the same thing for wolves in their relegation fight a few years back. had a row at HT, then just got sent off intentionally to make a point to the manager.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat May 02, 2015 4:13 pm

Sunderland penalty. Ward-Prowse red card
