The Barclays Premier League Thread 2013/14

[EddieG]

I quite enjoyed Tim Howard's commentary on the stream I was watching of United-Liverpool.

[Noah]

I really don't want to help the mockery of my club but geez some of the fans on facebook.

Yes I'm sure sacking David Moyes and appointing David Beckham or Ryan Giggs, as manager, will magically make the team win.

[Colly]

No further action for Joe Hart, because England.

At least Giggs and Beckham are winners.

[Hobo]

Because David Beckham totally wants to be a manager. All signs point to this being the case!

George Boyd has been charged by the FA, because not England.

Quotes on twitter. Strange one this, after the season Liverpool have had.

Dnipro president: "I have contact with the Tottenham president. I am talking with him."

Dnipro president: "He is interested in Konoplyanka. We are stage of negotiations, are perhaps close to signing contract if Yehven agrees."

Dniro president: "I would choose Tottenham, London not Liverpool."

Dniro president: "There are matches only once or twice a week, and at other times Konoplyanka will still need somewhere to live."

Dnipro president (Konoplyanka): "I believe London life is preferable to Liverpool."

Yeah, he's a total douchebag, and seems to be ignoring the fact that Kono wants to come to Liverpool and it's actually his decision to make.

But he cares enough about him to want him not to live in Liverpool

[brenchill]

Perhaps it's Levy behind this, playing a blinder, of course.

Oh, neat, that was probably the US feed. Our coverage of the Premier League has been so much better since NBC bought the rights from Fox.

[Plubby]

Led by Ted Lasso.

[Mad Jack]

Jesus christ. Did we really give Moyes a six year contract?

[TCO]

It's OK, Man United don't sack managers so he'll be there until he retires!

[Mad Jack]

Hull City say they are "disappointed" by a recommendation the Football Association rejects proposals to rebrand the club, and will ask the "silent majority" of fans to vote on the plans.

Fifa is considering a worldwide suspension for sacked West Bromwich Albion striker Nicolas Anelka after a request by the Football Association.

[Crybaby Bunting]

Wouldn't something like that be easily struck down in court under freedom of movement? It's remarkably petty to say "if you can't play here you can't play anywhere"

[King Ellis]

It stuck for Joey Barton.

Yeah, it was NBC Sports Network.

There's no chance.

Having read up on early 90's Liverpool tonight, I have concluded that David Moyes is in danger of emulating Graeme Souness in taking the biggest club in England downhill, albeit in a less angry way.

Who is a modern day equivalent of Dean Saunders?

I'm not sure. I would need to see which of the current United forwards go on to become a completely inept manager whose instructions have no more depth than a paddling pool.
