2011/12 Barclay's Premier League Thread
- Thread starter Warney
- Start date
Ahead of?? Some players sit out whole games and don't get any minutes then play a full game later. AJ basically plays every game for 20-30 minutes... he's not being robbed - he's very happy and doing great for us. He comes on when defenders tire and runs rings around them - is there a better sub in the league??
Goals galore except for the United game....City wore Norwich down - pissed they conceded again
Never seen a worse decision than the one by the ref and linesman to award Chelsea a throw which led to the first goal in the Chelsea Newcastle game. Routine cross clears everyone by well over a metre and goes out - Ref decides Newcastle got a header on it - throw in - goal... There's been some insane decisions lately - Stoke's corner to himself, Ferdinand penalty that wasn't - really bad ones...
edit that - apparently it came off the head of a bloke right in front of him.... the other decisions were still crap!!

maybe chicarito is a better sub? but yes, hes probably the best, but is that what he wants to be? the best sub in the league? i doubt thats his overall goal. its also the reason hes not a regular starter for england in my opinion.
yeah, tough choice on who to swap him for, but id play him before nasri...
EDIT: bring up a CL topic and we'll all discuss. you dont need a dirty united supporter.

So stoked with the FA Cup draw!
As I said previous - CL would be nice but would rather win the EPL this year and really go for Europe next year. United are now out of the league cup, don't look anywhere near winning the CL, and we have the chance to make them trophyless by winning the EPL and knocking them out of the cup!

Cant beat your logic - but i need something to cheer me up about this season...
On another note anyone follow the Serie A?
Juventus on top of the table for the first time since the match fixing scandal. Gee that has taken them a long time for them to recover. Inter lost again on the weekend and are now down in 16th and in some trouble. Cant see Ranieri being there much longer.

/\/\ was always gonne be your biggest problem. no depth. fewest players used in the league this season, which is funny considering everton didnt even register the maximum amount of players. good start, but i think itll be a standard season for newcastle.

i dont know? they came straight back up after being put into serie B and finished 3rd the first season they were back in the top flight aswell as making the champions league. id say that they recovered pretty well from being dropped into serie B with 8 pts deducted and losing all but 3 of their main players. 5 years from bottom of B to top of A. pretty good.

Kolo Toure: Manchester City hold grudge against me - ESPN Soccernet
agree? disagree? i disagree. plenty of africans have been bought and used over the years with full knowledge that they may have to go off in january. i thnk hes just sore because he cant make his way back into the 1st team. thinks he has nothing to prove? the dude hasnt played in 6 months and is trying to make his way back into the most expensive and arguably talented teams in england. he expects to just walk back in because of his reputation? which isnt that astounding anyway...

Snowball's chance in hell. Basically they want in him on loan this season with conditions - in other words for free, and then they MIGHT sign him. I think City have already turned them down - it's a pathetic offer. 'We'll have your great player play for free for half a season and then we might sign him - deal?'
