We Go Again! The 2014/15 Premier League Thread

[Guest]

First topic message reminder :

Dirty, scheming, diving sh!thouse.

[Hammersmith harrier]

The ref was awful, was randomly calling fouls for both sides and his yellow cards seemed to have no rhyme or reason.

[NickisBHAFC]

1-0 Southampton.

[Duty281]

Ah Eden Hazard, such a delight.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

The winter break would just mean you'd have a whole backlog of games at the end of the season anyways, especially for the top sides who'll be in most cups to

[NickisBHAFC]

Most importantly no boxing days game! Christmas will be wrecked.

[JDizzle]

Interesting decision to book Fabregas for being fouled in the box.

[Fernando]

Arsenal 2-0 West Ham- Cazorla pen/Welbeck

Song had a goal disallowed for offside was harsh but correct according to most.

Two points dropped for Chelsea.

Utterly dominant but no second goal to show for it. Referee needs to lay off the mulled wine.

[Fernando]

Schneiderlin suspended for the Arsenal game

[kingraf]

Easy for Germany, as their league has 34 games, working on the matchweek principle, by definition, they have four free bye matchweeks when EPL doesn't.

Only real problem, I suppose with the Christmas set up in a world cup year, is that despite playing a crazy schedule in Christmas, EPL finishes roughly the same time as La Liga and Bundesliga. Which indicates that maybe the "breaks", and I use that term very loosely, in the EPL aren't designed for players to have much left in the tank at the end of May.

Worth noting though, that Ozil of all people ran a solid 2km more than anyone else in the world cup final, so maybe it really is just about desire, talent and a can do attitude

Sean Dyche is god

The mighty clarets!!

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Been mugged there, battered em pillar to post. Bunch of divers too, Ox should have been booked twice for flopping down

[NickisBHAFC]

Always said Sean Dyche was an amazing manager and got slated.

[Guest]

Yesssss! Cracking win & much needed for the Toon. Sissoko, Cisse & Perez all producing the goods, anyone see Rivière's miss off the post, truly shocking signing.

[monty junior]

I thought he would have been a good signing but he's done little of note so far, having said that it was tough to adjust his feet enough, that ball really cannoned off the post. 

Well deserved though, really like Perez, he offers something different besides his goals.

[mystiroakey]

Alan pardews odds as next palace manager is plummeting.. He knows parish and long and lives in warlingham... But I didnt expect this..

[Fernando]

He's now 4/7 Fav

with Sherwood/Popovic & Vitor Pereira other with low odds. Personally id go with Pereira he's tactically awesome for a foreign manager. It's no coincidence that Porto has struggled more then usual since he's left...

[Fernando]

Alan Pardew refused to speak to press following the win at St James’ Park, fuelling the Newcastle United manager’s link with the vacant Crystal Palace job.

Pardew would not speak to television, radio or print journalists after Newcastle’s 3-2 win over Everton, with the North East club saying the 53-year-old was simply ‘unavailable’.

[Guest]

Hands off my Alan, you hear?

Be surprised if he left us for Palace. He's done a good job for us, but maybe he's taken us a far as he can.

[Fernando]

Or he is fed up with Mike Ashley? Which seems most likely to me John.

[NickisBHAFC]

I would be shocked if Pardew left Newcastle for Palace. Would be a great appointment for them.

[Fernando]

Rumors suggesting Pardew has said his goodbyes to staff/players etc...

[Dolphin Ziggler]

And their wives, I'd bet

[GSC]

Pardew doesn't waste words on the beatches

[Ent]

Papiss 3 elbows. Kind referees au fait under Webb it seems.

[Ent]

If Barkley is England's great technical hope they may as well withdraw from international competiton for the next decade.

[Fernando]

Poor Song it's the best thing he's ever done and got a harsh offside but can see why.

[Ent]

Lifetime ban for cisse threw 3 elbows into the face of the everton player - don't need him in this league. Bye bye.

[Ent]

Bbc clearly pulled Shearer from tonight's show after that cisse incident - he could hardly vilanise him.

[Fernando]

My theory is for every Xmas that passes Ent gets grumpier. Maybe someone said Santa doesn't exist and it's crippled him to be angry at the world...

[Guest]

Bbc clearly pulled

Disgusting.

[Guest]

I like Barkley, great potential, but he's miles away from being at the level some people or the media think he's at. Loses the ball too often & no discipline, hence why Roy doesn't trust him & Martinez only plays him in bits & pieces.

Ban Cisse for three games, while he's at the ACON's

[Ent]

Ban him for life - what the Frak was he at?

Barkley isn't good enough to start for everton, send him back to Wednesday and let him be a big time Charlie there.

Greek very good

[Ent]

Mourinho unhappy with 4 attacking players on the pitch at half time makes a sun to leave just 3.

[Ent]

I think yoshida might be the worst defender in pl history. At fault for a goal nearly every week.

[Ent]

John terry is in his mid 30s, does he lot realise enlooksnlike the biggest silly billy in the world coming out to do interviews in beat headphones?
