The Barclays Premier League Thread 2014/2015

[Lineker]

Still above Liverpool in the table

[Summers]

Three points, wahey!

Vlaar limped off injured and didn't come back on in added time. Worrying.

[Hobo]

Sterling (bar his goal), Sturridge and Balotelli were all a bit wobbly when it came to getting shots away. It was a weird game for stuff like that.

I did not expect a 3-0 win. Nice.

[DavidMarrio]

Didn't know if you head it into the ground it's a handball. Desperation shout

Who's saying it was a handball?

The crowd that were shouting handball.

[Berober]

Still in the hunt for the title!

Oh. That's not what it was, crowd! I guess it's shorter than "grabbing his shirt and pulling him down" or whatever.

Former Inter Milan midfielder Esteban Cambiasso starts his Leicester career on the bench after signing a one-year deal on Thursday. Manager Nigel Pearson sticks with the same line-up that started last Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Chelsea.

Yaya Sanogo starts up front for Arsenal as Arsene Wenger looks for the right attacking formula following the broken leg that has ruled out Olivier Giroud until January. Sanogo comes in from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, with Alexis Sanchez retaining his place, while Aaron Ramsey returns from suspension to replace Jack Wilshere in midfield.

Leicester: Schmeichel, de Laet, Morgan, Moore, Konchesky, Mahrez, Hammond, King, Schlupp, Ulloa, Nugent.

Subs: Cambiasso, Drinkwater, Vardy, Albrighton, Hamer, Wasilewski, Wood.

Arsenal: Szczesny, Debuchy, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Ramsey, Flamini, Sanchez, Ozil, Cazorla, Sanogo.

Subs: Rosicky, Podolski, Wilshere, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Chambers, Martinez, Campbell.

Ramsey hat trick & Sanchez brace plz

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

My usual post-game ramblings on who was alright and who wasn't.

Lamela worked hard throughout, chased, passed well and moved the ball around. Capoue was very solid. Vertonghen was alright. Chadli buzzed around all over the place - what he tried didn't always come off but at least he was trying things. Dier was good in parts too.

On the flipside, Kaboul was poor, Eriksen a shadow today, Bentaleb not good, Adebayor adrift and Townsend horrible as usual.

[Summers]

Why is Bentaleb still starting for you guys?

[Baddar]

Alexis scores his first PL goal.

[Lineker]

1-1! Ulloa!!

[Baddar]

1-1, top header.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Why is Bentaleb still starting for you guys?

Apparently he has a filthy Daniel Levy sex-tape stored in a safe deposit box.

[Summers]

Ulloa is starting the season well.

[Jimmy]

Why is Bentaleb still starting for you guys?

He looks like a pretty great prospect when you remember he's 19, but why he's starting ahead of Dembele or Sandro is anyone's guess.

[Nerf]

So, so great. So this is what it feels like to have a LB.

[Jimmy]

Watching it again, it's unbelievable that Kaboul doesn't close down that space. We literally just let him have all the space he could ever want. Cracking finish, though.

[Lineker]

So, so awful. So this is what it feels like to have Andros Townsend.

[Lineker]

Ulloa should have buried that!
