Official 2012/13 Premier League thread

I should point out i wasn't having a pop at Swansea in my original post. Just assuming there league form hasn't been great since they won the League Cup.

I was actually christened in Wales. It was St Ecchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. It was a little church with gob running down the walls.

Ehhh, I'll let you celebrate your European Cup from the Eighties and your League Cup from 1994.

What about our one from 1996?

Are you like 10 years old or something? You're acting as if the 90's was a million years ago.

[Gazz]

You beat Leeds and therefore, it doesn't count.

[HailtotheYo]

It was over a decade since the 90's ... that's a significant time frame.

I mean, if Arsenal hasn't won a trophy in ages

[brenchill]

Still not long enough to say "OH CAN YOU REMEMBER WHEN VILLA LAST WON SOMETHING? LOL ME NEITHER"

[Dan]

To be fair, 1996 was 17 years ago. Crazy really, feels like only yesterday Southgate had his penalty SAVED, SAVED, SAVED.

We still believe, we still believe, we still believe....

Edit: Gorka was born in 1997, so he wasn't alive when Villa won either League Cup.

Savo Milosevic

He missed more than he scored but i still loved him.

[Gorka]

To be fair, Dex, my original post was a reaction to Brench thinking it would be "brilliant" if Swansea were relegated. I think it's sort of a cunty thing to say, but ah well.

Damn it Dan, taken away any chance I had of an argument now.

Sorry Gorka. Misread the situation entirely.

I'd be happy for anyone to go down instead of us though. My first preference is the Dave Whelan Twat Train.

[brenchill]

Unless Blunderland can turn it around 2nd half, I think it's safe to say we won't be going down.

[Baddar]

Swansea going down when there's teams like the two playing tonight sucking up the league with their shit football would be a travesty.

There was an article in our local paper a week ago which said that it'd be better for Cardiff if Villa went down - not that he had anything against them, just that he reckons they'll improve next season and kick on, meaning Cardiff would have less chance of avoiding relegation.

[King Ellis]

If Thomas Brolin wasn't such a fat mess back in 1996, we would have beat you. :/

[Dan]

He makes an awesome poker player though.

[brenchill]

It was just a throwaway comment on my part. I don't even mind Swansea, but from a cynic's point of view it would be kinda funny to see them go down after everyone has been fapping over them.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Pah. Swansea are the best team in Wales. Aston Villa have NEVER been.

Michael Owen has a crack at predicting next years top 7 on Twitter.

"An early fun stab at next season's finishing positions: 1. Man Utd 2. Chelsea 3. Liverpool 4. Man City 5. Arsenal 6. Spurs 7. Everton"

Some bold choices...

[Dan]

No way those teams will be in the top 7, is he drunk?

I think a number of players in Manchester City's squad would have to literally explode for them to finish behind Liverpool next season.

Swap Liverpool with City and I don't think he'll be far off.
