2011/12 Barclay's Premier League Thread

Can you send me the link to "Liverpool fans (officially UEFAs worst fans in europe) ".......
considering we are not even the worst in England
http://www.thisisanfield.com/2012/02/man-united-fan-charged-with-racist-abuse/
Also can you show me the images of "Liverpool fans doing monkey impressions at Evra in images" i have only seen the one person who was charged for doing the "monkey impressions", can you show me the others...

loads of racist abuse in the Premier League, goes on every week at virtually every club...
Liverpool fans (officially UEFAs worst fans in europe) are the worst especially for their treatment of Tom Adeyami of Norwich (on loan at Oldham in FA Cup), only a few weeks later on evra's return to anfield for the fa cup they carried on and all the papers had Liverpool fans doing monkey impressions at Evra in images.
Even non-black players are subjected to "racist" abuse when Bale complained to UEFA after his treatment at Norwich being called a 'chimp'.

would love to see Arsenal scrap their wage structure too although dont support them, they have to, I really cant see it happening though...is this the worst team Arsenal have had in living memory, it certainly is in my lifetime. To be so far behind their little neighbours Spurs is ridiculus...I know a lot of Arsenal season ticket holders who have grown tired of Wenger's affection for 'younger' unproven players...they should have the money available to buy decent players rather than second rate journeymen like Mertesacker etc...
it looks like as they are not competitive anymore the title chase will be between the 2 manchester clubs for the forseeable future which is not good for English football.

Blackburn surely in the Championship next year- IMO not the best move from Samba to Anzhi considering the likes of United, Arsenal and Spurs were after him!

Interesting to hear Alex Ferguson saying he could have and should have signed Joe Hart, that'll make De Gea feel good...

aha De Gea will prove his worth, but i doubt he'll be a better keeper than Hart. I'd have him at United for sure.
On a national related topic, Australia's new away kit has been unveiled..

[Warney]

Wow oh wow.
Thought we were heading towards a Tottenham rout of Arsenal after 2-0.. now i'm more inclined to say that the rout will be the other way around.
Tottenham 1-0 (Saha)
Tottenham 2-0 (Adebayor)
Arsenal 1-2 (Sagna)
Arsenal 2-2 (Van Persie)
Arsenal 3-2 (Rosicky)
Arsenal 4-2 (Walcott)
Arsenal 5-2 (Walcott)

15 minutes left.

GET IN THERE!!!! Giggs scores the winner! Fantasy into reality. Perfect. Giggs and Scholes score to lead United to a 2-1 victory over Norwich who should hold their heads very high! David De Gea Man of the Match for me, was EXCEPTIONAL all afternoon and the goal was unstoppable, no one in the world would of stopped that. Good stuff lads

In other results, Arsenal thump Tottenham 5-2 despite trailing by 2 midway through the 1st half. Amazing game i've heard, be sure to watch the highlights!

 

[ljandkg]

Wow! Giggs is gonna get some tonight! Not sure from who but someone's gonna get it!

 

[ooneil]

Well done Giggsy. 900 games for one club and manages to score the winner.

What a champ! One of the greatest.

How did that one pay out for you Jeff?

Sunderland Magistrates Court today served Peter Copeland a four month prison sentence, suspended for 18months for making "grossly offensive" remarks about Newcastle United striker Demba Ba, on Twitter. The 29 year old Sunderland fan, who lives with his parents and is unemployed pleaded guilty to two offenses under the Malicious Communications Act​

Copeland tweeted;
"With the number of darkies in your f****** team, you should be called the C**n Army."
When he arrested he told the police:
"All this because I called Demba Ba a black b******."
His solicitor pleaded his case putting to the District Judge that she hoped he wouldn't be made a scapegoat.
In addition to his 4 month suspended sentence he was sentenced to 150 hours community service and ordered to pay £80 in costs.
The case proves that Newcastle United, who gave a statement to the court during the case, are not prepared to accept racism and will pursue those to perpetrate it, through the courts.
The case comes just days before the Newcastle face Sunderland on Sunday.​
