The Barclays Premier League Thread 2013/14

Lucky, but I'll certainly take it!

[Matt]

I tried to push him away with my head is the best excuse I've ever heard and I know someone who was once late to class and said she got attacked by ninjas.

[Rainiac]

On behalf of all Manchester City fans here (and Liverpool fans too I guess, since they also benefit), I'd like to thank Arsenal for throwing away 3 points (Sorry Kaney )

[Szumi]

I'd swap Coutinho for Sterling at half-time. Southampton are over-running the midfield right now, and Coutinho's been pretty poor with his touch and passing. Throw Raheem's pace on to try and help spark a counter and keep Shaw honest.

And a good save by Mignolet!

[Nerf]

Fantastic save from Mig.

[Szumi]

STERLING! I said we needed to bring him on!

[Nerf]

We have an impact sub

[Hobo]

That was nice.

[The Radical Moongoose]

Very happy with that

[METALMAN]

I know it's only one game, but I have a feeling that might be it for Arsenal's season.

Shame. It would have been nice for someone a bit different to win.

With Arsenal dropping points, it really makes our loss at Norwich even worse. We have to win tomorrow to get it to 6 points, and definitely have to take points off Arsenal at the Lane to have a shot at 4th.

Newcastle midfielder Moussa Sissoko: "I don't know, I was too far away I didn't see what happened. It's a small thing. The most important thing is we won."

lol

Meh, it'll be a ban and a fine. It's not as if it's a full Tino headbutt, it was the standard weird 'put your head in someone else's face' thing that people do in football these days for some bizarre reason. Not sure why the lol at Sissoko either since he's clearly said he hasn't even seen it.

Supposedly some bookies have suspended betting on next manager to go following this which is ludicrous, Pardews not going off the back of a touchline ban when we're still in touching distance of 6th. To be honest, I found it quite funny...

[Gazz]

Hell, without Pards touchline motivational techniques and subs, we'll probably do better.

[Colly]

Although John Carver is liable to go full Tino if he's in for a run of games...

[Colly]

Thinking maybe Pardews realised that's the only way we'd ever be first on MOTD, thanks boss.

Meanwhile Gary Lineker has retweeted a picture of Chris Benoit with Pardews face. It wasn't that bad!

[Colly]

Trip trip triple post, but the club have just fined him £100,000.

Edit: Hang on, we're not actually getting any analysis? Jesus.

[King Ellis]

He's raked him there.

[Colly]

That's a harsh penalty. We won't see it again though as the analysis should just be John Walters pushing him afterwards, over and over and over again.

The lol was the idea of a manager headbutting a player being a small thing in any way, shape or form.
