The Barclays Premier League Thread 2013/14

Ah I see. I was sure Sturridge had scored quite a few too.

[Nerf]

9, I think?

[Colly]

Slightly bossing Palace, 70% possession. And winning, more importantly.

[Starvinho]

Hernandez has one ruled out for 3-0. It looked onside on the replay.

[Starvinho]

Ashley Young scores with his first touch, quality finish as well. 3-0.

[therockbox]

lol

[Starvinho]

Welbeck has gone off injured and now Hernandez has just fallen to a dirty challenge by McCartney. We'll have no strikers left! Time to recall Macheda...

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Red for me, pathetic challenge.

[Starvinho]

...and there goes the clean-sheet. Carlton Cole makes it 3-1.

Red for me, pathetic challenge.

I agree, very nasty challenge.

[Starvinho]

3-1 FT. Good performance overall, got a bit sloppy towards the end but I'm very happy with the way we played. A few more like that and we'll be up into the top 4 in no time.

[Summers]

What a load of shit. Horrible result and performance.

[Cymbols]

Team selection wasn't great again. Herd shouldn't be in defence, Baker shouldn't be at left back, Tonev shouldn't be playing at all, 3 midfielders against 5 Stoke midfielders is not a good idea, against a physical team; Benteke should be playing instead on Weimann, Bowery shouldn't be coming on when we need a goal. Shambles.

But hey, I hear that AVB is available...

Loooads of Villa fans have turned on Lambo already. Another loss or two and things will be turning nasty.

Agree on most on your selection points. Baker at left back when we have fit left backs is dumb. Weimann has been in no sort of form and shouldn't be starting. Bowery and Tonev shouldn't be involved. Useless.

I can see why people are losing patience with Lambert, to be honest. Results and performances have become very bad, and his tactics and team selection have been questionable.

[Cheeky Hughes]

I'm glad it was Kompany who scored that own goal. If it was anyone else, I'd be pretty angry at them. Beautiful lob.

[Nerf]

Tony Barrett reports that the Suarez buyout clause is higher than Bale's transfer fee and only applicable to foreign teams.

[Lineker]

£1000100!

[Nerf]

Wait... £1m?

[Kaney]

Typical tightfisted Jew.

[Lineker]

Well, that was an incredibly shit post by me, wasn't it.

[9 to 5]

Most of them are.
