We Go Again! The Premier League thread

First topic message reminder :

This would be a huge day for Leicester if it stays like it is.

by Duty281 Sat 02 Apr 2016, 6:54 pm

33/1 on England to win the Euros and Harry Kane to be the top scorer overall.

I wonder.

by Guest Sat 02 Apr 2016, 6:57 pm

Worth a pound, Duty.

by **Crimey** Sat 02 Apr 2016, 6:58 pm

Coutinho has been fantastic this second half. If he can start getting more consistent with age he'll be one of the top players in the league.

by lfc91 Sat 02 Apr 2016, 7:47 pm

Very good game to watch. Disappointed not to get the win, but seeing as we could have easily lost it I suppose I shouldn't be.

by Guest Sat 02 Apr 2016, 8:04 pm

Bit more consistency next season and we could be where Spurs are now (weeping as the title disappears over the horizon)

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat 02 Apr 2016, 11:39 pm

Robbed by the ref today as that weren't a red. But we always struggle with Palace at home. Top four was slim anyway and gone now. Payet's freekick is so good it's scary

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 03 Apr 2016, 12:25 am

Bit of luck with the third goal and the handball not being given, but that's the kinda luck that we haven't had all season.

Fabulous save by Ruddy at 2-2 crucial too. He's been much better since coming back into the side.

Timm Klose took a few games to find his feet but he's been monumental for the past five or so games. Far too good for us

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun 03 Apr 2016, 4:11 pm

What a turn around for Norwich.

Newcastle have some winnable games but they'll need to win em all and the difficult ones too.

by **Crimey** Sun 03 Apr 2016, 5:45 pm

One of the more incredible things about Leicester is how consistent their first choice eleven has been. Barely ever change it or mix it up yet teams can never handle them. Most title challengers end up switching and swapping players, but the last time I remember such a clear first choice eleven for the title winners was with Arsenal's Invincibles. Also somewhat ironic that managed by the Tinkerman he's not tinkered all season.

by Hammersmith harrier Sun 03 Apr 2016, 5:53 pm

Most title challengers are in Europe and Leicester were knocked out of both cups early enabling them to be consistent with their selection.

by **Crimey** Sun 03 Apr 2016, 5:55 pm

It's still interesting that their approach and tactics are the same every match yet nobody appears to know how to counter it.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun 03 Apr 2016, 6:09 pm

There's always an excuse if it's not one of the big boys.

Everton have become so Martinez it hurts. Nothing to play for so offer nothing. Hope they go down when Lukaku leaves

by Hammersmith harrier Sun 03 Apr 2016, 6:14 pm

It's not an excuse but the reality of it Dolph, Leicester deserve the title if they do indeed win it but don't overlook the benefit of not being in Europe has had on their season.

Aye, Liverpool's title tilt a couple of seasons ago was helped immensely by it. Shame we didn't spend that free time learning how to defend!

by Azzy Mon 04 Apr 2016, 7:24 pm

I hope those scumbags tweeting Jamie Vardy today get their comeuppance. Scum is the only word I can think of for them.

by westisbest Mon 04 Apr 2016, 7:46 pm

Pretty sick alright.

You do run the risk sadly of these people saying stuff like that when you post pictures of your kids on social media.

Thats not to say you shouldnt do it.

Its a shame these people exist though.

by GSC Wed 06 Apr 2016, 10:10 pm

Scum tweeting scum.

Pulis to get a new contract apparently. West Brom have settled.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat 09 Apr 2016, 1:22 pm

Lost this game on formation and selection. Three centre backs been exposed and Carroll shouldn't start

Pardon?

by Guest Sat 09 Apr 2016, 1:47 pm

Back in the day Liverpool were playing Chelsea and I moaned like a byatch at Patrick Berger starting the game.

He went on to score a hat-trick. Happens to us all.

by **Hero** Sat 09 Apr 2016, 1:54 pm

How much is Wenger paying the ref?

by Duty281 Sat 09 Apr 2016, 2:07 pm

Andy Carroll for En-ger-land! He'd certainly make a better impact than Rooney.

by temporary21 Sat 09 Apr 2016, 2:10 pm

How Arsenal! HOW!

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat 09 Apr 2016, 2:11 pm

Never been so happy to be wrong!

Got four players there who should be more than banging on the door for England. If Milner makes the squad for versatility then Antonio is a right winger and a right back

by westisbest Sat 09 Apr 2016, 2:12 pm

Just seen Villa line up.
Dreadful. Richardson starting left wing.
Westwood still starting.

Am down in Truro, going to a mates wedding later.

Will more than likely be relegated today, break down in Cornwall will take my mind off it.

by NickisBHAFC Sat 09 Apr 2016, 2:16 pm

Imagine being 2-0 up and then 3-2 down thanks to an Andy Carroll hatrick Laugh

by compelling and rich Sat 09 Apr 2016, 2:16 pm

ref been very poor for west ham here, how was gabriel not punished there?

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat 09 Apr 2016, 2:18 pm

Gabriel uses his studs to purposefully catch Carroll, should have been off

by compelling and rich Sat 09 Apr 2016, 2:23 pm

never thought id say this, but arsenal really need mertesacker today

Tbh mate whatever team villa put out, it won't make a difference. You were down at the end of November IMO.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat 09 Apr 2016, 2:38 pm

Win that with a competent/non-biased ref.

by compelling and rich Sat 09 Apr 2016, 2:42 pm

draw good result for us but yeah the ref definitely favored arsenal in his decisions in that one

he does but even broke clocks are right twice a day

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat 09 Apr 2016, 2:58 pm

Well, we've had 4 red cards rescinded of our last 7 so I'm constantly finding myself annoyed with officials. I believe in big club bias, although I don't believe it's a conscious thing.

by Guest Sat 09 Apr 2016, 3:38 pm

Absolutely gone

by **Crimey** Sat 09 Apr 2016, 4:14 pm

Yeah Newcastle are gone.

Imagine it will be a scramble between Newcastle and Villa to try and get Nigel Pearson.

by Guest Sat 09 Apr 2016, 4:29 pm

cracking strike from andros, way too late though. Palace beating Norwich, so we're six points adrift, with six to play as it stands

by Guest Sat 09 Apr 2016, 4:35 pm

Alcohol , John. A lot of it Hug

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 09 Apr 2016, 5:10 pm

Ah that's the Norwich city I know - most predictable loss of he season so far - least I made some money off it

by GSC Sat 09 Apr 2016, 6:14 pm

Suspect its Norwich or Sunderland now. Benitez hasn't sparked a thing.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat 09 Apr 2016, 7:05 pm

Should have been Pearson

by Ent Sat 09 Apr 2016, 7:37 pm

Benitez hasn't really done a lot of note in a decade, he's probably got one more duff job in him before he gets to barge pole territory.

by GSC Sat 09 Apr 2016, 9:11 pm

Not that I disagree, but Newcastles problems are at owner level. A lot of good names have been manager under Ashley, none have panned out

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat 09 Apr 2016, 9:17 pm

Hard to blame him this year. They spent a lot of money in both windows

by Hammersmith harrier Sat 09 Apr 2016, 9:24 pm

A lot of the blame has to go to Mclaren who didn't get anything out of some talented players; Wijnaldum and Mitrovic were both good buys.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 09 Apr 2016, 9:40 pm

Gotta think whoever loses between us next week pretty much is a goner

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat 09 Apr 2016, 9:53 pm

Sounds like Wij played as one of the deeper two with Shelvey today; I'd hope that's wrong as it offers no protection and doesn't get enough from the strengths to two players

It's been coming for sometime.
Shame the players haven't put the effort in and the board didn't care either, ruined the club.

by **Hero** Sun 10 Apr 2016, 9:00 am

I'll be very surprised if we see Villa back in the Premier League anytime soon as well tbh.
