The Barclays Premier League Thread 2014/2015

[Baddar]

City lead, Collins OG.

[King Ellis]

Lovely breakaway that, bloody great.

[Cheeky Hughes]

Kouyate absolutely destroys Silva with an elbow to the jaw, only a yellow.

EDIT: Silva is going off on a stretcher. No retrospective action can be taken. Lovely.

[Gazz]

What about Silva's elbow on Reid about 10 minutes before?

Why aren't you complaining about him only getting a yellow for that?

[Baddar]

Because it's Hughes?

Newcastle defender Fabricio Coloccini returns from a three-match ban to skipper the side. The Argentine replaces Gabriel Obertan with Ryan Taylor moving into midfield. Yoan Gouffran replaces the suspended Moussa Sissoko. Tottenham make three changes to the side that lost to Aston Villa last weekend. Jan Vertonghen is in for Vlad Chiriches in defence, while Paulinho and Erik Lamela replace Ryan Mason and Andros Townsend in midfield.

Newcastle XI: Krul, Janmaat, Coloccini, Williamson, Anita, Abeid, Ryan Taylor, Colback, Gouffran, Perez, Cabella.

Tottenham XI: Vorm, Dier, Fazio, Vertonghen, Rose, Bentaleb, Paulinho, Chadli, Eriksen, Lamela, Kane.

[Lineker]

Chadli!! Newcastle defenders went to sleep there.

[Gazz]

Newcastle defenders went to sleep there.

Every Newcastle match since 1998.

[Whisper]

I'm not watching. Has the "boycott" had much impact on attendance?

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Chadli's hair though.

Vertonghen and Fazio are definitely our best defensive pairing so I'm glad they're back together. Otherwise it's been a scrappy half but both teams have put together some good attacking moves.

[Jimmy]

I can't even defend Lanela today, he's trying too hard and having a poor game. Nice to see Paulinho playing better, though.

[Baddar]

[Lineker]

Oh ffs it's happened again!

[Baddar]

Colback after 20 seconds of the 2nd half!

[Jimmy]

Spursy.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

OFFSIDE BAH GAWD! (maybe)

Wake up Spurs. No ability to kill off a game.

[Gazz]

THE GINGER PIRLO~!

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Eriksen! Krul shoulda done better. He flapped.

[Lineker]

The Great Dane strikes once again!

[Dan]

The Great Dan strikes once again!

Great, great.
