The Barclays Premier League Thread 2013/14

Butt Plugg.

[Ant]

Suiarez has dived in his last couple of international matches.

[EddieG]

It's normal in Latin American cultures.

[Hobo]

Suiarez has dived in his last couple of international matches.

Meh. I don't watch international football so I only ever see him playing for Liverpool.

[METALMAN]

He dives for them too.

[Liam]

Too lazy to quote, but with the Chiriches goal, I think it would have gone in anyway, but with Defoe jumping over the ball, it adds enough doubt about whether he could be considered active.

I think it is fair to say that it is one you would take if you got it, and be a little bit miffed if it didn't go your way.

[Colly]

Isn't that another thing that had a rule change at the start of the season that no one really understood?

[Jimmy]

The first time in over 2 months that Spurs play on a Saturday I happen to be on a pub crawl. Hope I'll find a way to get it on my phone, or jump out of a Wetherspoons and found a normal pub which will show it. Need another 3 points today but can't see it being easy.

[Starvinho]

Early kick-off for us today, we need to be winning it too. The word is that RVP will start as he completed full training yesterday. Rooney is suspended for picking up his fifth booking against Everton.

[Matt]

I thought they scrapped the 5 bookings thing I?

[Jimmy]

But how else would they make sure Lee Cattermole spent as little time on the pitch as possible?

[stokeriño]

I thought they scrapped the 5 bookings thing I?

...No?

Never heard of that even being considered.

[Matt]

Maybe it was just the football league then. Or I just dreamt it.

[Starvinho]

#mufc team to face Newcastle: De Gea; Rafael, Evans, Vidic, Evra; Nani, Jones, Cleverley, Januzaj; Hernandez, van Persie

#mufc subs: Lindegaard, Ferdinand, Anderson, Valencia, Young, Zaha, Welbeck

[Lineker]

Both teams:

[Matt]

That looks like a very unbalanced man utd side. One winger and 3 strikers?

[Nerf]

Eh?

[stokeriño]

Looks like 4-4-2 to me.

[Matt]

Januzaj is a striker isn't he?

Also apparently rvp handed in a transfer request this week. I so hope that's true.

[Dan]

He can play out wide.
