The Barclays Premier League Thread 2013/14

[Liam]

Fuck. Tottenham go 2-1 up.

[Starvinho]

Disappointing to play like we did and come away with nothing. Nothing more to say really, just one of those nights.

[Colly]

Two clear fouls round the City box ignored now.

He's the best ref! He lets the game flow!

[Jimmy]

HOLTBY!!!!!

[Cymbols]

3 points against Southampton is a cracking result for us!

[Kaney]

Bloody spurs, ruining an otherwise great night.

[Summers]

Fuck Yessss.

Amazing goal by Delphy. Great fucking win.

Fuck off Southampton

[Whisper]

It just goes to show how great a manager Sir Alex was that he dragged this shower of shite to a title last season.

[Liam]

Hit the fucking post.

Deserved more than that. Shame.

Looks better than I've seen Fulham all season though, so I'll at least take that.

[Lineker]

Vital win.

[Jimmy]

Fucking hell. We didn't play that well, a draw might have been more fair, but man, we needed that so much. Cracking three points, but still glaring holes in the side. We're a bit too predictable, we're still missing obvious opportunities, and the chemistry's not quite there, but hopefully this is the start of a good run here. I thought Lamela was really good tonight, and I hope he starts again on Saturday. Cracking goal by Holtby.

[Liam]

Lloris was man of the match for me. His three main saves were all brilliant - probably the last one was the best.

Stekelenberg had a few good ones himself.

WE'LL GO NINTH, NINTH, NINTH

[Jimmy]

I hope Moyes receives the same kind of bad press AVB did for being 9th, purely in the interest of fairness. He doesn't deserve it at all, but it'd be nice if the press were consistent. Cracking that we're up to 6th and just shows how crazy the league is this year.

[Jimmy]

Also, that Suarez goal is out of this world. Wonderful player, I just wish he wasn't in the Premier League purely because of his awful character. But fuck me, that goal is superb.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

We're only three points off Liverpool and Everton and they're the toast of the league.

I couldn't believe that we went behind as, a couple of moments aside, Spurs were getting better and better. Very glad we kept fighting and scored two lovely goals to win.

The substitutions were the right men at the right time.

Lloris: brilliant

Walker: good

Vertonghen: great of course

Dawson: okay

Chiriches: Cult legendary status virtually assured

Capoue: fair enough return

Lennon: the heartbeat of the team

Sandro: usual Sandro

Paulinho: continues to impress with everything but his final touch....as and when it comes we'll be laughing

Lamela: really really lovely footwork, passing and movement

Defoe: good hustle, poor finishing

Holtby: decent with a lovely goal

Chadli: decent enough, brought options

Townsend: ran around

[stokeriño]

Oh yay, the Chelsea game is on first on MOTD. I'm told I have 1) hilariously tragic set piece defending, and 2) Hazard awesomeness to look forward to.

[Colly]

If Jonjo Shelvey doesn't get a retrospective ban for lying to Ray Stubbs I'll be very cross.

[Liam]

Thoughts on Defoe offside for first goal, Spurs fans? One of those tricky ones - wondering how it might be viewed when it has benefited your team.

[Colly]

The finish on Bardsleys first goal was better.
