The Barclays Premier League Thread 2013/14

[Szumi]

Despite the 2 back to back losses, I'm not overly worried. We play all the top 7 or 8 sides at home now, sans United. Plus, this season has been crazy so who knows what the hell will happen next.

BR needs to convince FSG to buy this January tho, if they want to increase their chances of a Top 4 finish. We could use a winger big time, a full back, and a pacey central mid (although this won't happen). The lack of depth needs to be addressed. Aspas and Alberto can't handle the physicality of this league, although I believe Alberto will be able to adapt with time.

[Nerf]

Alberto can handle it just fine. He's fantastic.

[Colly]

That's Szumi told.

Needless to say, Newcastle losing at home to Arsenal angers me on a strangely personal level.

[Colly]

Fuck me, remember when Torres had lovely girly hair? What is he doing there?

[stokeriño]

...What is he doing with his hair?

Isn't it obvious?

[Colly]

Yup, the push on Anita blatantly ignored by 'that fucking useless linesman' was far more of a foul than that that led to the goal. Just waiting to see if the analysis actually mention it as much as the 14 replays of the Williamson handball against 9 men from Boxing Day.

Do we really need the GOAL DECISION SYSTEM! to tell us a header onto the bar and back out isn't a goal?

You overestimate the intelligence of the average football fan.

[Colly]

No mention of the Anita foul. Lots of fawning over Arsenal. Yay.

[Lineker]

As good as we were, Stoke were really really awful.

[brenchill]

Really depressing to see the likes of Stoke and Hull above us at this stage.

Looking back at how crap Spurs were in the 90's gives me hope that one day we can get back to where we belong .

[Lineker]

Don't even.

Goran Bunjevcevic.

[Colly]

As good as we were, Stoke are really really awful.

[Jimmy]

They seem to be doing alright at home. They beat Chelsea didn't they? But yesterday they were so bad. They set up to do what every team does at WHL and just park the bus, which usually works, but once we got one goal their plan went out the window.

[Lineker]

We've just announced a pre-season tour of America (once again), including a game at Seattle.

I'm so pleased for GoGo!

I imagine he's doing something along these lines:

[Lineker]

Ray Wilkins is the new Fulham assistant manager.

[Liam]

We are lining up loads of managers, just in case.

[Gazz]

I'm sending off an application

[Baddar]

Blackburn like baldies too!

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Charlie Adam, that fat and talentless hatchet man has put Paulinho out for a month. Another disgusting ankle injury to go with the two he gave Bale and other, far more talented them himself, players.
