The Barclays Premier League Thread 2013/14

Fuck sake, Chelsea concede from another set piece. 1-1.

[Ant]

Take a fucking bow Osvaldo

[Starvinho]

RVP, Hernandez, Rooney when he can be arsed, De Gea. Probably Vidic too.

That's fair enough, would've said Carrick myself too. Was interested to see what Rafael had to say though.

Also, for fuck's sake Chelsea, need you to win today!

Everyone goes on about Rooney and RVP. Our best player is Carrick, and he is the one we can't replace when he's out.

The squad is hardly "the drizzling shits" and is much better than the league position suggests. However it is nowhere near a title winning squad, and even the first 11 isn't of title winning quality.

Vidic is looking old and slow. Evra is going the same way. Midfielders outside of Carrick arent good enough. Januzaj has all the promise in the world but isnt ready to play regularly. Young, Anderson and Nani need to go and we need at least 3 quality players in January.

2-1 Stoke whaaaaaaaaaat

[Rafael]

Ireland and Crouch scoring, where are we, 2007?

[stokeriño]

SHIRLEY I LOVE YOU

2-2

[9 to 5]

If Man Utd's squad are "the drizzle shits", how did they win the league then? As good a manager as Fergie was, he wasn't playing for the side.

2-1 Stoke whaaaaaaaaaat

Chelsea have lost their will to fight, ever since you abandoned them for Newcastle Edit:- damn timing

I didn't abandon Shurrle though!

He just hit the bar as well!

By a system performing better than the standard of it's parts.

I'd be interested to know how much of the blame for the team's current woes (a bowel chilling 2 defeats in 14 ) would Man Utd fans put on Ferguson? After all, he is largely responsible for putting together the current squad, with it's glacially slow, aging defence and utterly uninspiring midfield that contains precisely zero match winners.

There were the problems last year as well. Alot of games this time last year for Man Utd they were losing before coming back to win it. Maybe an extra year with no real new blood was a year too much.

So much bitterness from certain posters. It'd be amusing if our performances at the moment weren't so terrible.

[brenchill]

They won the title last year because Man City didn't turn up

Carrick isn't your best player, he's your most important player but that's because you have no back up for him. None worth mentioning anyway

[Gazz]

I think Srar should support Newcastle, we're by far the most interesting team in the division since you never know if we're going to be amazing (today) or shit (Wednesday). Keeps you on your toes.

[Starvinho]

Suarez is on another hat-trick. Do Chelsea look like bagging a winner, for anyone watching that game?

No signs as yet.

[EddieG]

Pretty sure the fourth is given as an own goal.
