2011/12 Barclay's Premier League Thread

/\/\ a couple of injuries and itll all come crashing down in my opinion. not looking forward to RVPs first knock. lets hope he can stay fit as long as possible...

 

[rishgoon]

I've been thinking the same re RVP, but hoping not. Gervinho has been creating a lot and scoring a bit himself. Theo still not consistant enough but when in form he's very useful.

 

[GiRDS-]

i think city have decent depth, so we should be right.

although we saw last week savic is no kompany when he cost us both goals.

 

[Warney]

Yeah u did - something about playing a computer game? But you're visiting the site most days - out of curiosity I checked - , u had time to crap on Chelsea with that 5-3 joke as soon as that result came through...would be a shame for people to see u as a fairweather fan, cos you're not right?

Been missing your analysis mate....

once exams are over i will mate

 

[ljandkg]

Good - hope they go well...

Carlos Tevez could face more disciplinary action after returning to Argentina without permission from Manchester City.

Im personally sick to death of this saga. They should have loaned him out while they had the opportunity.

 

[GiRDS-]

We dont even need him to be honest. I hope they move him onn for
Someone better.

I wouldnt want anyone at my club that didnt want to be there or take the field.

 

[sgt_pepper]

/\/\ its been obvious for a while he dont want to be there. seems like hes just trying to get himself sold off now. city might just have to let him go for less than they expected. better for everyone involved.
barton thinks he should be in the WC squad? just might be true that.
owen thinks he has more years left in him. he can barely handle a season now...
poppies banned from england jerseys. seems harsh, but i totally agree.

 

[rishgoon]

Not sure I agree with the poppies being banned, doesn't really phase me either way. Interestingly, England have never worn them on their shirts before, and it's never been an issue. The FA raising it this time around though has certainly taken the attention away from their glorious captain...

 

[sgt_pepper]

maybe england havent played on the 11/11 before? a long shot i guess...

 

[rishgoon]

Might be the case. Either way I don't think Spain will have much trouble with them. Looking forward to first leg of the playoff between Ireland and Estonia, hopefully it's televised. Has been a while since a team from the Isle played in a major tournament. Were cruelly robbed in a World Cup playoff a couple of years ago thanks to some bloke named Thierry handling the ball....
Last appearance would of been 2002, when Roy Keane told Mick McCarthy to 'stick the World Cup up his bollocks', (or words to that effect, I can't remember now).

Carlos Tevez - SMH!!!!!

 

[rishgoon]

I don't like The Sun at all, always seem to find myself checking the headlines though. This one is pretty clever:
Carlos Tevez AWOL: Help find missing Manchester City star | The Sun |Sport|Football

 

[ljandkg]

I had a dream I went to a City game at Anfield and Tevez greeted me off the bus and signed a picture I had of him!! Wonder if he's there....

Man this has been a boring Int'l break -- can't wait tilll City v Newcastle

 

[rishgoon]

Hasn't been that bad a break, the Irish easily through to the Euros after cleaning up Estonia...

I think I posted something similar a year ago, or it might of even been in January, but HE'S BACK AGAIN. Get around him Arsene, sign him up on loan in January...

 

[sgt_pepper]

/\/\ wouldnt mind seeing him play there again. still one of my top 3 fave epl players of all time.
anyone catch the mighty germans dominate the dutch? 3-0. great result even tho it was just a friendly. apart from spain, i cant see any team getting over us this time round. lets hope the spanish dont turn the game into another bore-fest...
couple of good games this weekend. looking forward to it after the break.

 

[ljandkg]

Another pile of goals in the EPL overnight - City trump Newcastle 3-1.. 2 stone cold penalties and a good Richards finish... NU had their chances though...

QPR with a great away win. they're making a great fist of things. United with another scratchy away win. 1-1 woulda been fairer but they got the W.

 

[sgt_pepper]

RVP with more goals. amazing. joins a short list of players to score 30 league goals in a calender year...

 

[GiRDS-]

arsenal game was frustrating to watch just to see the number of chances they missed. feel asleep before the man city game have it recorded will have to watch that before i make any comments. but i have just noticed they got two penalties :/

after watching the arsenal game all i can say is when van persie goes with his mid season injury so does arsenal ahahaha

 

[ljandkg]

RVP with more goals. amazing. joins a short list of players to score 30 goals in a calender year...

On current form he'll make short work of the golden boot! City's 3 strikers are all going great but miss games from time to time because of rotation...Rooney seems to be out of touch now - took a shot from about 40 out today...not like him...
