The Barclays Premier League Thread 2013/14

Rush keepers!

What's everyones thoughts on why matches between the top clubs keep turning into one sided drubbings?

My guess is because it's so competitive this season that teams can't afford to go for a draw when they go behind, they feel they have to go and try to win it, leading to counter attacking opportunities and once you go 2-3 down heads drop and the other team are high on confidence and thus a thrashing occurs.

Things like Oxlaide-Chamberlain forgetting he isn't q goalkeeper don't help though

Also teams aren't quite as focused on defending anymore.

Fulham had a couple of decent opportunities.

See it being typical Fulham - 0-0 at half time, 2 to 3-0 by the end.

Not a bad prediction.

Bizarre day this has been, what's next?

Also, Suarez & Sturridge have now scored more between them this season than the entire team from nearly every other side in the division. Only Chelsea, City and Arsenal have scored more as a team than those two have on their own.

[Starvinho]

Counter-attack baby!

[Baddar]

Rooney!

[Matt]

What in the shit was Noble doing?

[Baddar]

I love Fellaini, but he gives away so many cheap free kicks. 3 already this evening.

[Colly]

Quite looking forward to MOTD, even if we'll quite rightly be last on. Next week Andre Marriner reacts to a Szczesny save by sending off Mertesacker.

[Baddar]

I have all the pace of a fucking slug, but could still do a better job out wide than Young.

[Starvinho]

Good half, could easy have been 3 or 4 too. Like to see Nani on in the second half and get Rafa off before he gets sent off as well.

I feel sorry for him at times. He's like Crouch. So awkward that whenever he tangles with someone it always looks a foul.

[Baddar]

We look really dangerous on the counter which is more than can be said for most weeks this season. But West Ham aren't out of this until we add a 3rd.

Today's been weird

Cisse scored

Demichelis scored today and I don't know whether to be pleased or not.

I thought of you when he scored.

I can imagine the crowd were jumping up and down in joy until they saw it was Demichelis who scored, at which point a lot of head scratching occurred.

Not a bad prediction.

If it wasn't for Amorebieta's stupid antics, it would probably have ended up that way. The 5-0-type scoreline was sadly inevitable once we went down to 10.

[Baddar]

Here comes Jarvis - he never has a bad game against us.

[Starvinho]

Fellaini's dive.

[Gazz]

Quite looking forward to MOTD, even if we'll quite rightly be last on. Next week Andre Marriner reacts to a Szczesny save by sending off Mertesacker.

Russell Brand is a pundit on MOTD tonight...

[Nerf]

Martin Skrtel has more league goals than Fernando Torres this season

[Mad Jack]

How many does he have?
