2012/13 Premier League discussion thread part 4

by Guest Sat 02 Mar 2013, 10:37 pm

First topic message reminder :

We are now entering the business end of the season!

Now Utd more or less have the title sewn up it's all about the relegation scrap and the race for the Champions League spots.

Game on.

Reading are 100% doomed. Got to be beating sides like Southampton at home if you want any chance, but fair play to Southampton as much as i hate them if they can keep this side together and add a few more talent in, they could really be a side to watch out for next season.

Norwich point is a shame to them, that win could of clinched there survival IMO but as freek said i am pretty sure they are fine.

Class win for Arsenal, lot of pressure on Tottenham now and going to be very interesting how they will cope without Bale.

Finally epic win for Villa, huge win for them. Happy to see Stoke getting dragged into the mix, had enough of there negative root one football. Getting boring.

They do it every year, it's tradition! Plus, I think they'll get around 13 points from their last 8 games - should be enough.

by NickisBHAFC Sat 06 Apr 2013, 7:51 pm

QPR will beat them tomorrow i recon.

Yeah I think that too. Whilst I think QPR are down they'll go kicking and screaming and might pick up 2 or 3 wins along the way.

They can't play any worse than they did in the first half against Fulham anyway.

They were pants against us. If we could have put in a decent final ball, or just not sucked like a League 2 team in the final third, we'd have won easy. Even then they had to rely on a cruddy bit of goalkeeping by Camp

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 06 Apr 2013, 9:53 pm

MOTD should be good tonight, after not looking so good on paper earlier haha!

Lowton has scored a real screamer apparantly for Villa. Good to see Stoke in the Poopie, Pulis will hopefully be off our sets soon

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 06 Apr 2013, 10:01 pm

I would be surprised, whatever the outcome of this season, if Pulis survives at Stoke.

Seems the fans have well and truly turned against him.

Despite my defences of Pulis I think this may actually happen sometime within the next 18 months. They were talking about the fans rumblings today on the BBC so it's starting to get exposure which is never a good sign. I can definitely see a mutual parting of the ways somewhere down the line.

If Pulis was to leave at the end of the season he leaves with his head held high. Perhaps a change is needed for both parties? Championship clubs, I assume, would love Tony Pulis steering their ship.

by JamesLincs Sat 06 Apr 2013, 10:02 pm

just youtubed it. goal of the season contender without doubt

by NickisBHAFC Sat 06 Apr 2013, 10:44 pm

Ron Vlar is a lucky man, stupidity sticking a hand out like that.

Matty Lowton!!!!! What a goal, 100% goal of the season atm. What a cracker

Nice cool finish by Benteke, class player, Villa would be nothing without him.

by GSC Sat 06 Apr 2013, 10:45 pm

Take a bow Lowton. Still think Villa are for the drop though. Like Martinez to get more from a lesser squad than Lambert

You fancying Sunderland to stay up? I reckon 4 more points will do Villa.

by GSC Sat 06 Apr 2013, 10:55 pm

One thing Di Canio will do is get a reaction. Sunderlands squad isnt bad, but the attitude was poor and MON looked worn out.

I don't buy that Di Canio is suddenly a poor manager, and to be frank everyone complaining hes a fascist is full of crap. 1. Nobody cared at Swindon bar 1 union and 2. the man is fully entitled to his beliefs.

by NickisBHAFC Sat 06 Apr 2013, 10:55 pm

What a miss by Ramsey, is it wrong im surprised he missed?

by GSC Sat 06 Apr 2013, 10:57 pm

Ramsey is a good player, needs a run of games though. Hasn't come back from the leg break. A season on loan might be the tonic he needs

Agree. He done an immense job at Swindon. They just have a rough set of fixtures ahead of them.

by Guest Sat 06 Apr 2013, 11:00 pm

Lukaku's missed an absolute sitter there. And poor Arsene has a sore throat.

by NickisBHAFC Sat 06 Apr 2013, 11:00 pm

Arsenal really had to work for that, West Brom played very well and were unlucky not to get a point at least.

by GSC Sat 06 Apr 2013, 11:01 pm

Wigan were dead to rights last year with visits to the Emirates, SB and Anfield to come, as well the visit of Man Utd. Funny things happen this time of year

by Guest Sat 06 Apr 2013, 11:04 pm

It is weird how the bottom sides find some form in the last quarter of the season.

Wigan must pick up 40% of their points total in the final third.

by GSC Sat 06 Apr 2013, 11:04 pm

Daresay that Chelsea might regret Lukakus miss. Couldve made his biggest impact at Chelsea there.

by GSC Sat 06 Apr 2013, 11:06 pm

Well I guess some higher placed teams' seasons will be petering out and the lower teams scrapping. Momentum is a funny thing.

by GSC Sat 06 Apr 2013, 11:07 pm

Bunn just didnt warm up properly I think.

by NickisBHAFC Sat 06 Apr 2013, 11:08 pm

Penalty should of been given there.

by GSC Sat 06 Apr 2013, 11:09 pm

Swanseas form must be concerning to Laudrup. Yeah, nothing to play for and all that, but they could use another striker.

by NickisBHAFC Sat 06 Apr 2013, 11:10 pm

Lovely finish by Michu #SigningOfTheSeason

by GSC Sat 06 Apr 2013, 11:10 pm

Not quite sure where Vorm was going.

by NickisBHAFC Sat 06 Apr 2013, 11:11 pm

What a cross by Elliot Bennet, such a talent!

by NickisBHAFC Sat 06 Apr 2013, 11:13 pm

Kamara has to finish them, don't have a clue what he was waiting for!

Been impressed with what i have seen from Lee Camp.

by GSC Sat 06 Apr 2013, 11:15 pm

Could very well see these two teams back amongst the strugglers next season if new signings dont fire. Luke Moore should not be in the PL

by GSC Sat 06 Apr 2013, 11:15 pm

Wow, nasty from Holt.

FA might be in touch with Holt next week.

by NickisBHAFC Sat 06 Apr 2013, 11:15 pm

Luke Moore always seems to pop up with a goal every now and then though, not a bad player to have on you're books IMO.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 06 Apr 2013, 11:19 pm

Ooo a bit naughty from Holt that. Didnt seem that bad from where I was sitting. Didnt realise Kamara's chance was like that, gotta score there.

Nick you obviously didnt see Lee Camp last week. Thank god Ruddy is back soon.

by NickisBHAFC Sat 06 Apr 2013, 11:21 pm

Ref that is terrible, Robson Kanu denied a penalty for me there.

by NickisBHAFC Sat 06 Apr 2013, 11:23 pm

Poor goalkeeping, bottled that one IMO and gifted Southampton a goal.

by NickisBHAFC Sat 06 Apr 2013, 11:25 pm

Yeah Reading are doomed can't see them staying up one bit. However with Adkins at the helm, sure they will do very well next season in the Championship.

It's not that weird, their motivation to stay in the league is enough to increase their form.

Tottenham have scored after 39 seconds. Pressure? What pressure!

by The Special Juan Sun 07 Apr 2013, 2:49 pm

That pressure?

by Hulking_up Sun 07 Apr 2013, 3:02 pm

So frustrating watching the Liverpool game.
Just can't control the ball.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 07 Apr 2013, 3:19 pm

Spurs 1-2 Everton

Tell you what Everton are right in with a shout of Top 4 if they win. They always like to finish strong...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 07 Apr 2013, 3:26 pm

Ooo Craig Gardner very lucky not to be sent off there.

Very naughty

by GSC Sun 07 Apr 2013, 3:47 pm

PAOLO

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 07 Apr 2013, 3:53 pm

Anichebe has just missed a huge chance to put Everton 3-2 up
