good ting is only predicting yuh doing eh!...steupes
Bellamy and Crouch go make a good attack.
Dis EPL season go have little drama. Arsenal go reduce it to a one horse race wit de ress fightin fuh de crumbs.Â
Wit dat....is really only individuals go be gettin my interest.
Who Carlos Edwards end up playin wit
Obi Mikel wit Chelsea and how he do...if he get playin time
Theo Walcott and how much run he go get and wha kinda impact he go have.
How Ronaldo respond to de English fans and media
Oddah dan dat....ho hum.
Predictions....
EPL winners - Arsenal
Player of the Year - Thierry Henry
Young player of the year - Obi Mikel or Theo Walcott (dependin of course on how much run dem get)
Leading goalscorer - Craig Bellamy / Thierry Henry - tie
I Can't see anyone other than Chelsea winning it, if they don't then possibly Arsenal. Top four in my opinion will be the same as this year.That must be the F**k All (FA) Cup Right? not the one Liverpool won last year :rotfl: just kidding.
The three teams that came up are the most likely to go down again, although watch out for an Aston Villa implosion, they are a club in crisis at the moment.
Top Scorer, Thierry Henry or Schevenko.
FA cup Winners the mighty PORTSMOUTH ;D
well tell me which of the top 6 teams going to actually play with 2 out and out strikers and forwards?
Bellamy and Crouch go make a good attack.
season eh good start and you done talking shit already
Man U going to play Rooney alone and maybe bring Saha on as sub;
well tell me which of the top 6 teams going to actually play with 2 out and out strikers and forwards?

season eh good start and you done talking shit already
Arsenal have only one forward who guranteed of starting; Man U going to play Rooney alone and maybe bring Saha on as sub; and Spurs will be picking their 2 starters out of Berbatov, Keane and Defoe, they might even play with all 3 with Keane deeper.
So tell me where i talking shit bout Bellamy and Crouch isnt a good attack..sorry but i ent consider a one man show an 'attack'.
maybe i shoulda say they would make an effective combination.
Ok, in typical girl fashion, I talking bout clothes. Allyuh get any new kits yet?
What yuh think of the new Arsenal kit? Somehow it has a slightly 80's feel to it, don't yuh think? Still buying it though. Nike Town here I come.
And the Man U tops looking odd, not feeling like a Man U shirt. Dunno why.
Anyways, carry on. ;D

Your an Idiot for real this time because you can't take a joke(in the other thread) and you do realise you typed the part where I'm ''meant'' speaking in your post section with is carib-brition loser business
You try but you just fail.
I'm done wid you my yute.
Carib-Brighton...... um i am probably the biggest van nistelrooy fan..and it is hurting me inside that he is leaving..but i wish him the best and he will always be a united legend
and i was always thinking toress toress toress  but obviously he likes athletico and is staying put...  now we have rooney, saha, alan smith, solksjaer, and rossi...  they all sound like an excellent strike force... but i dont think that is a good enough strike force to win the league and challenge for CL....
but we will see...   looks like we are getting to Center mids   and thats what we need right now... Carrick and Javier Mascherano....  both play DM for their clubs but carrick could be used as a pure CM or AM... Mascherano... i think is very effitent  gets the job done but in a english style hard hitting way....  i think if man utd gets him  that will be a great buy...  carrick also....
its time to spend some of glazes money...
i want three players  Carrick..Mascherano... and i always wanted owen bt he is injured so i guess i would like to bring... defoe...  maybe man u could give spurs 25 mil pounds for both players  15 for carrick 10 for defoe
we will have to wait and see
Jub02 be quiet now on this topic please, you were getting upset about because you were complaing in the other and you tell me his message board crap. As I've said before you real naive. Done It.
I know.....but i didnt no this was serious buisness. God man wen u got vex u serch thru every little thing and comment about it so u can win some sort of notorious battle..it a message board!

That post just shows how good the prem is going to be next year, very good. I have my worries about Arsenal though.

ManU playing with 2 strikers, Rooney and one other : Rooney already prove he cah play as a lone striker. Unless they playing the 3-3-4 still, with Ronaldo and Roony on the flanks and Saha (or some new striker they might buy) going through the middle.
Spurs playing 2 strikers, Liverpool playing 2 strikers, Chelsea SAY they playing 2 strikers, but that will change once they realise they not running away with the title this year. Is only Arsenal who might play with Henry alone and have men running in from midfield, but with Pires gone I feel Walcott and Adebayor will be lining up a lot more to give Henry support. Not to mention van Persie looking like the real deal now!
The EPL this year...
Liverpool will be the team to unseat Chelsea, but only if Fowler and Bellamy get to play together regularly but both are injury prone so we will see. Benitez is a master tactician and now they have the wingers he crying for since he reach.
Spurs cracking into the top 4, possibly 3, Martin Jol is a good coach and man manager, once he could juggle his midfiel properly. Carrick leaving might actually help them cause he have re
I not writing off Man U cause when they under stress and duress, is when they like to prove people wrong.
Arsenal...well it depends on how much of a dffernce Walcott make cause Henry carry them on his back last year. That have to take a toll on a player sometime,but Wenger is a boss at finding young players and turning them into world beaters so u never know which one of them players might be a match winner this year for Arsenal.
Beloved Newcastle to come 6th and make a run in Europe and grab the League Cup. ;D ;D
City and Everton to have good seasons and West Ham to have a difficult one after last year.

I hope Walcott get playing time this season, so we could see the yute play...but ah cah see him making any "big difference" in Arsenal, since de man NEVER get a sweat in EPL yet....Tthe man is a 12m pound player and an England international...so obviously he have something. Rooney made a difference his first EPL season, as did Owen. So if Walcott don't produce something and be that somethign that ups Arsenal as compared to last year, then their challenge will fall flat.
I also doh agree with fowler and bellamy playing together...I feel fowler will be on de bench for sure, and be more effective coming off de benchBellamy say Fowler is his hero and he would love to play alongside him, Plus , according to reports Fowler set up most of the chances on goals in the pre-season they play together. IMHO, Robbie needs more time on the field in order to really make an impact. But...I not the coach, it is just a hope for me.
IMHO it's Chelsea league again by a stretch, unless dey royally srew up....look for meh boy shevchenko to light up de EPL....This is Chelsea's year to self destruct...because they wil make the mistake of dropping Makelele in order to accommodate Ballack, Lampard and Essien. Obi Mikel is already a drama-maker, so he will complain for time saying he coulda go ManU and sweat and he didn't fight to come to Chelsea to bench. Drogba ask to leave as soon as he hear Shevchenko coming and i highly doubt Mourinho changing a winning formula for Drogba's sake, so he will also bench and grumble. Too many cooks...one bad run of form and u will hear about unrest in the dressing room.

No room fuh Carlos Edwards in yuh no name / underrated squad?
I'm expecting Chelsea to win the EPL again this season but in a much closer race than the last couple of seasons. From position 2 to 5, I figure it go be de usual suspects, Liverpool, Man U, Spurs and Arsenal. Hard to pick who in dat group go finish where but I think Man U is most likely to drop down from dey 2nd place last year. Also I'm looking for Newcastle to make a comeback and show some improvement this year.
Most likely to unseat Chelsea? I figure Liverpool or Arsenal this year.

BTW, I've been a Man U fan for almost 30 yrs and I definitely don't see them beating Chelsea this year. As a matter of fact I would be happy with 5th or better. Something is missing in this team. They don't dominate games like they used to a couple of years ago.
who allyuh think go be the first managerial casualty for this season?
ah picking Chris Coleman

Man Utd capture Kuszczak on loan
Manchester United have signed Polish goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak on a season-long loan from West Brom, with a view to a possible permanent move.
In exchange, the Baggies will get defender Paul McShane and goalkeeper Luke Steele on a permanent basis.
Kuszczak, 24, will act as understudy to United's first-choice goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, with youngster Ben Foster staying a second season at Watford.
Kuszczak can stake a claim to be United number one when Van der Sar retires.
The Dutchman is expected to call time on his own career after Euro 2008.
Kuszczak, who has won four caps for Poland, spent three years in Germany with Hertha Berlin before arriving at West Brom two years ago.
Sir Alex Ferguson's attempts to land the keeper had been frustrated throughout the summer, with an initial £2.5m bid rejected.
But with Kuszczak now at Old Trafford, Foster getting Premiership experience with Watford and Tim Howard on loan at Everton, United are hopeful they have enough strength in the goalkeeping department to maintain healthy competition for the next five years at least.
The transfer of Steele is unlikely to go down well with Coventry, who signed the youngster on loan from United.
But the player was recalled, then immediately sold to one of their local Coca-Cola Championship rivals.
1st to 4th......... Man Utd...Chelsea...Arsenal...Liverpool
relegated: Watford..Sheffield Utd and Fulham
Yeah Fellas its that time, let me hear what allyuh think about the top four finshers & relegated clubs.
My Picks:
Top Four in order 1st to 4th : Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Man U...
It will help Manchester United too , give a strong midfield that win and keep possesion a bit more than last years midfield does , because that is really the key for united .. because overall , the team is a winner , always was and always will be , so expect good things this season..
Speaking of Man Utd , anyone know the cost to buy the games on PPV from Columbus Communications ?
Ah fed up waiting to see replay ah match..
If that really on Direct tell meh eh , because Direct en that expensive , and ah mean , IS ALL THE MAN U games , thas priceles..
Anybody here working Direct TV ?

If we can get Obafemi Martins, Sully Muntari and Manuel Fernandes then a EUFA spot is a definate possibility.
we have made the best offer for Martins, it is just a case of persuading him he doesn't want to play CL football for a couple of seasons.
hopefully he is greedy and will take our offer.

Chelsea vs Blackburn
all ah want is goals by Lampard, Shevchenko and another Bridge cross lol

In the Chelsea vs Blackburn match today, I was quite impressed by a player called David Bentley....right back for Blackburn. Excellent crossing....some of the best crosses I've seen in the English game since Beckham....have a good engine.....and his overall technique on the ball is very good. One to look at.

It easy for Palos to miss Bentley.
If he ent pay plenty money for a youth, they ent playing.
Seriously thogh Palos... Bently was in the same crop as Aliadere who was supposed to be the future of Arsenal, now is Lupoli and Walcott. We will see whwre they end up.

Breaking News.....United Loan Rossi to Magpies.... (Jub yuh must be hapy yuh get a boss dere ;))     i wonder if we making room for  say...Tevez? lol  hopefullyah woulda like to see we get Woodgate instead
Newcastle United have agreed a shock loan swoop for Manchester United's young striker Giuseppe Rossi.
The Italian youth international is highly-rated at Old Trafford and had been expected to make an impact on the United first team during the coming campaign after the sale of Ruud van Nistelrooy to Real Madrid.
Indeed Ferguson refused to allow the New Jersey-born Rossi to move to West Brom as part of the deal that saw Tomasz Kuszczak join The Red Devils.
However Glenn Roeder's Magpies have now managed to convince Ferguson that Rossi's interests will be best served at St James' Park in a loan move until January.

Woodgate IS a boss player. Always has been. He jes injury prone to put it mildly.
He and Terry together at the heart of England defence would give them 2 TRULY World Class players in the position.

Boss ah was dumbfounded when ah woke up and checked the score on the computer. But say what, that is how derbies go. Plus, dem fellas tired after returning from international duty. Only Aurelio and Pennant trained at Melwood this week, everyone else was either injured or on international duty. I think Everton capitalized on a tired team that didn't get the time to prepare for a tough opponent. We will overcome. Don't get carried away with yuh swift start. There is a long way to go. ;)

Their MLS stars struggle in EPL badly..
point is...he eh lying! THE EPL is the best marketed league and it is adertied using de american model...take it or leave it.
he eh lying..de epl is not de best in de world, nor is de most excitig, it is de most hyped doh!
English football now has the haves and the have-nots.
i hadda agree with Lalas on the point of EPL and its marketing strategies...
they have that down cooolllllllldddd!
EPL marketed in such a way that it makes u think it is the best league out there...especially now since we doh get much football here with Spanish, gErman and French football all gettin d axe cause of them chupid ppls at FLOW(i eh wanna get started on them this mornin nah!!)
steups...
but he hadda back up his product which is the MLS ya could say....they bad talkin his investment..so he gonna put up his fists and fight back...
i eh blame him in a way...he vex but say wha...
EPL aint the best anyway ya take it...maybe 3rd with italy...but since thas all we get we hadda cool it
i say Spain first of course and then Germany and italy 2nd then england and france...
the other leagues jus doh have as much financial clout as the EPL...
money talks...
There's a lot of truth in what you write here...but I don't think you address Ponnoxx' point...MLS/American players struggle badly in England. John Harkes had a decent career at Sheffield Wednesday, and Keller, Friedel, Hahnemann and Howard have had stellar GK careers. Outside of Brian McBride who is an absolute stud...no other American position player has really distinguished himself. Reyna...please. Beasely likely won't be back with Man. City, Onweyu was supposed to be the next best thing at defender....he's out of a club right now...Bobby Convey is playing so-so ball...Bocanegra, Dempsey (Fullham) and Corey Gibbs (Charlton), DeMerit (Watford) are all up and down. The list goes on.Their MLS stars struggle in EPL badly..
Not true.....
From the time an AMERICAN begins making critical comments about the EPL, yuh know such will be taken with a pound of salt on a TRINI message board because:
For some strange reason, Trinis fail to respect the U.S. acheivement in football and hence disregard any American perspective about football (pure bad mind)
point is...he eh lying! THE EPL is the best marketed league and it is adertied using de american model...take it or leave it.
he eh lying..de epl is not de best in de world, nor is de most excitig, it is de most hyped doh!
come on that is like the owner of a Geo Metro saying people only think the Lexus is better because they have better commercials!QuoteEnglish football now has the haves and the have-nots.
Is the MLS trying to say that the EPL is made up of has been players/teams? really the MLS is making this claim! We all know Becks was jus vex, and thought his club and country careers were over when he signed on to the Galaxy.

EPL might have to further split that 3rd place tie with Portugal.
Maybe get pushed down to 4th.
This coming from the first and last American to play in Italy (dropped on account of being shitty) :rotfl: He would have never made it in the EPL. Marketing aside the MLS standard sucks, shelling out big buck for 17 yr FREDDIE ADU WHO?
Locking up Freddy was a good bet on the part of MLS...obviously the man showed enough potential for Inter to want to throw 3/4 mil at him at age 12, and marketable enough that Nike also locked him up to a long-term deal. MLS locked him up two years later when his star was still shining high in the sky. He was exactly what the league needed, young (to appeal to the US sport's growth base), remarkably poised, confident and articulate for his age (marketable), and American (what better way to market the game to young Americans...specifically teens who will badger their suburban parents to take them to the games).
Bringing in retiring players does not raise the standard of the MLS, it is used only as a means to sell tickets.
When you come down right to it the EPL is about the high level of professional football on that field, and that LALAS IS WHAT IT'S ABOUT
First off let me start by saying that Alexi Lalas is the biggest, overrated, shitsnake ever to lace up a football boots >:( . He more than anyone else should know the power of marketing an "inferior" product because he, Alexi lalas, benefitted from such marketing.
I second yuh too that... Lalas could not kick a ball with a srting tied on to it. thats does not make him a bad person in making decions on football. But sometime he is talk some shitt that i do not knwo if he does realize what he saying until he done F%(kin talking.... another one is Eric Wynalda that does talk some mess too

Uhmmm, excuse me perfesser...but isn't "sell[ing] tickets" what marketing is all about? Selling the brand too of course...but you just unwittingly conceded that they're employing sound marketing. Unfortunately the public has been slow to buy it...but the tide seems to be turning.
As ah man who grow up watching "FA Cup" and "Road To Wembley" every Sunday...I'm one of the biggest proponents of the EPL and would rate it above both Serie A and La Liga...but the lack of parity, or should I say the DISparity in the league kinda undermines that argument. That said, in our haste to attack the red-headed idiots, let's not get too carried away and start making our own selves sound too much like that babbling retard.

Rob (New York): You can not even say that MLS is even close to the EPL. A MLS all-star team could probably not even beat a mid-level team like Everton or Tottenham. If Cristiano Ronaldo played in the MLS he would score 100 goals. The real test for MLS teams is to play in the Champions League or UEFA tournaments to see how they far against the best football clubs in the world. EPL is equal to the Major League Baseball. MLS is equal to Double A Minor League Baseball.
Lalas is NOT comparing MLS to the EPL..so all who getting worked up about that just wasting their time. You might still diasgree with him..but please read and comprehend. Man saying the EPL doh live up to its own hype....fullstop
Way boy BAKE, YUH ON MEH CASE TODAY BOY!
Nah fella...it ent that serious and no offense, bu you ent dat important, lol. I actually posted this waayy before I read yuh post in de other thread...the two are independent of each other.
Question? When last did Freddy make the news since the season start? Where is he anyway?. At least in the EPL they wait till you have accomplished on the field before throwing out the big bucks.
Yeah because the EPL already has marketable stars and don't really have to worry about young talent being poached away overseas...because they have plenty. Also the EPL has a much better way of guaging talent than MLS...via the Coca Cola League, Division One etc.
Again my point is the quality of the product being sold/marketed, you remember them teams in England were born out of the communities they represented, not by any big shot company. Back in the day when liverpool and them use to come out it was just the red jersey and red pants and the number on the back and club crest no visible sponsors and the stadiums packed to capacity. They came to see good competitive football, now fast foward to MLS and it is clear everything else is in place and the football is mediocre.
Steve (NYC): Juan Pablo Angel has a MLS record 9 goals in his first 7 games. This is a guy who was on the Aston Villa reserve side at the end of his EPL league. I wonder if all the people that are working their butts off to grow the league just cringe everytime this idiot opens his mouth.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toby (Baltimore): How many MLS players have moved to the EPL and achieved even a modest level of success? Three or four? The fact that EPL teams aren't scouring the MLS for young talent, and the fact that the MLS is scouring the EPL and other Euro leagues for old talent speaks volumes. MLS players lack the class, pace, and talent of their counterparts in Europe. It's not a knock on them, but rather a testament to the superiority of the EPL. Lalas is the PT Barnum of the MLS and I commend his efforts. However, a dumb statement made with best intentions is still a dumb statement.

There's a lot of truth in what you write here...but I don't think you address Ponnoxx' point...MLS/American players struggle badly in England. John Harkes had a decent career at Sheffield Wednesday, and Keller, Friedel, Hahnemann and Howard have had stellar GK careers. Outside of Brian McBride who is an absolute stud...no other American position player has really distinguished himself. Reyna...please. Beasely likely won't be back with Man. City, Onweyu was supposed to be the next best thing at defender....he's out of a club right now...Bobby Convey is playing so-so ball...Bocanegra, Dempsey (Fullham) and Corey Gibbs (Charlton), DeMerit (Watford) are all up and down. The list goes on.Their MLS stars struggle in EPL badly..
Not true.....
From the time an AMERICAN begins making critical comments about the EPL, yuh know such will be taken with a pound of salt on a TRINI message board because:
For some strange reason, Trinis fail to respect the U.S. acheivement in football and hence disregard any American perspective about football (pure bad mind)
Now...
That said, it's a credit to the direction in which the USSF has been going, and to MLS itself that they have so many young players with an opportunity to play in the EPL. Contrast that with TnT...we now will have three in one fell swoop as of August. Yet Trinis love cry down the Americans as you say. Obviously they're doing something right.

competitiveness and quality are not the same thing. I think he was comparing the competitiveness of the two leagues as opposed to their quality.
It had a list or something on this forum a time...Anyhow...Toppa...MLS seperating itself from PFL in my book because of fitness and a better marketing plan(understandable)...The skill of the league that distinguishable in my opinion...If you look at the Mexican league or the Argentine league you could see that all the players are at a higher level...I get vex when Beenie and Wim bad talk the PFL because , I mean what they expect ...PFL big issue is to get people out their houses to go to games....Generally Trinbagonians very polar and (this is not a word eh what the hell) waggonistical that they don't support anything until other people take notice...America has made tremendous strides in football but they remain stagnant for all the progress they gained...I say this simply because Football from top to bottom is the same...Good basic Football...I mean you can't ask for anything more but I think that is the reason why they are not respected as much...You go to MLS, USL, PDL and Super-Y and they all play alike....Just who more athletic makes it to the top...This is a good thing because it shows that all American players on a decent technical level...Until you see an American player born in AMerica with American grandparents hitting man body dancie-like fakes, cheeky shots, no look pass, executing serious control and even just beating for the hell of it, They will never be respected....Well I guess you could say unless you see PFL players develop the kind of fitness needed at the highest level they will never be respected either...which is true....Football is cultural....We too lazy to emphasize superior fitness and them to methodical to step out the square that they are in...Technique and Athleticism alone can't win World Cups...African players grow up with less resources than our players but they are not lazy and push their athletic potential to the max....Why you think Foreign clubs does take our players? Cheap, something different because a man with good technique could always be found(think about it), and does usually look athletic(not always the case)...They does think if they get the player fit enough...with his skill he would be a big player and plus he cheap....We players lazy and don't usually push themselves....Football is cultural...tell a Trini reach 1'oclock and he reaching 15 minutes pass....Go T&T
No, he was comparing quality. He actually said that if MLS players were taken to the Premeireship, the fans wouldn't notice any drop in quality. Dis man mad oui. I doh even rate the EPL out of rivalry buh he have to be on some serious drugs.

I'm just referring to the one line "one of the world's most competitive leagues". Kicker was right to point out that by using that line he was implicitly making a comparison. In fact he is implicitly comparing the mls to every other league in the world with that statement. However, at least in that statement, he is comparing competitiveness as opposed to quality.
apparently he is of the mindset that a competitive football is a better "product" than good football (not that the two are mutually exclusive). maybe there is some merit in that.
A more comprehensive article. Sorry bout the Guardian one.
LONDON – Alexi Lalas helped humiliate English soccer 14 years ago. It looks like he's trying to do it again.
The Los Angeles Galaxy president, who scored when the United States beat England 2-0 in a friendly match in 1993, told British newspapers that Major League Soccer is on a par with the Premier League.
Irked by suggestions that David Beckham is going into semiretirement by joining the Galaxy, Lalas said the only reason the English league is popular is because of American-style marketing.
“The fact that a segment of the world worships an inferior product in the Premiership is their business,” Lalas said in an interview with The Guardian published Tuesday.
“In England, our league is considered second class, but I honestly believe if you took a helicopter and grabbed a bunch of MLS players and took them to the perceived best league in the world they wouldn't miss a beat and the fans wouldn't notice any drop in quality.”
Brian McBride and Clint Dempsey are among the American players in the Premier League, although they play for modest Fulham. None of the American players in England are stars of the caliber of those at teams such as Manchester United and Chelsea.
McBride – the third highest scorer in U.S. national team history with 30 goals – scored nine times last season for Fulham, which finished 16th in the Premier League. His tally was 12 short of Didier Drogba's league-high 21 for Chelsea, and the same as Wigan's Emile Heskey and Aston Villa's Gabriel Agbonlahor.
Despite criticizing the Premier League for sloganeering and over-marketing, Lalas claimed that, when he arrives, Beckham will have a higher profile in the United States than Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan. “The U.S. will never have dealt with an athlete who has had this kind of international impact,” Lalas told The Mirror. “Tiger Woods has that international appeal but, with due respect to Woods and Michael Jordan, David Beckham is at an entirely different level.”
Lalas, a 37-year-old former United States defender, said his country's record at the past four World Cups compared favorably with that of England – England has two underwhelming quarterfinal appearances to one for the U.S. – and suggested almost all those who criticize the MLS have yet to see the league.
However, several British papers were unimpressed by the Galaxy's 3-2 win over Real Salt Lake on Sunday.
“The game was not without moments of quality ... (but) some of the defending from both sides was the type of stuff you watch through your fingers,” according to The Mirror. “It was the football equivalent of a demolition derby.
“The use of possession was alarmingly careless and the concept of marking appeared not to have found its way across the Atlantic.”

thanks bake n' shark - that's exactly what i meant.
Alexi Lalas, the president of LA Galaxy and the man responsible for taking David Beckham to Major League Soccer in the United States next month, has suggested that the Premiership is an "inferior product" whose global success is largely down to American marketing techniques.
"There's no accounting for bad taste," Lalas said in an exclusive interview with the Guardian. "That a segment of the world worships an inferior product in the Premiership is their business. English football now has the haves and the have-nots. It's just that the Premiership have become so skilled in presentation. They took a page out of American football and so now they have Saturday Showdowns and Super Sundays. I love it. This is high-calibre marketing - taking an inferior product and improving it through packaging."

competitiveness is a measure of how evenly matched the teams in the league are. It's not as big of a surprise for a team at/near the bottom of the table of the mls to beat a team at/near the top of the table. there is a bigger sense of uncertainty going into such a game in the mls. this is why he also used the "haves and have-nots" when referring to the EPL.
as for the claim that you could carry a bunch of mls players to england, the question is: how would an average mls team do against fulham or reading or wigan. more than a few mls players have moved to the EPL with relatively smooth transitions. Of course these guys were above average in the mls and none of them is playing for the top handful of teams.

Don't you think that his saying that if MLS players were put into the Premeireship they wouldn't miss a beat...isn't that insinuating that the MLS is at least on par with the EPL? That seems to be a comparison to me.

sorry, I thought that competitiveness was the problematic term. by quality I just mean how good the teams, and by extension the game, are.
for example, even if we assume that the worst EPL team is better than the best MLS team it doesn't mean that Man U v Watford is more evenly poised than Red Bulls v Real Salt Lake.

I am referring specifically to the comment about inferior product. He is not inferring that EPL is inferior to MLS imo. Even his comment about MLS players being able to hold their own in the EPL is not a direct comparison of the 2 leagues. For a league to be on par with another, your players can't just be capable of making the grade..even Lalas knows that. He did not say they would light it up or excel in the EPL. He just said they would make the grade. I agree completely with him. Many MLS players could do a decent job in the EPL and EPL managers beginning to realize. Forget the top 6. Lewwe talk about Man City, Reading and Fulham etc...Many MLS players could go to the EPL and do a decent job. Lalas never said they would dominate. They would just get the job done like most of their English counterparts. You wouldn't even notice they were American if you didn't already know. All the American players in the MLS filling in like the majority of English players..they not stars, but you not saying..'he look at them stale Yanks'. AND most of them even came out of the US college system, so they were at a disadvantage in their development. Even fellas like Onyewu (ok..he never played MLS) and Beasly who did not earn contracts were no worse than the majority of their teammates. Lalas eh lie at all. Shitsnake Jay De Meritt and all ;D starting right through..doh mind his side get relegated, the man play in the EPL and didn't stink no more than his teammates. heheh.... I know Lalas went overboard..but the man lose his cool or his brain lil loose. Underneath it all I see some truth to man statements
THat is why the MLS is total crap and would NEVER reach. That's why american sports fans think that football is for gays. In addition to the way that them the men's team does run. (very strange technique ;)) these arrogant statements is why American Soccer will never be taken seriously. This think is not just Lalas all the commentators does say the same duncy things.
Anyways I think we league as good as la liga. And from the way we perform at the Gold Cup you could sub in we fellas and we ent go miss a beat neither. ;D
Excuse me, but by saying that the MLS players wouldn't "miss a beat" and that there would be no "difference in quality" he is obviously saying that they are on par/at the same level as their Englsih counter-parts...that there is a comparison. And he didn't even say whether he was talking about the mid-tier clubs, leaving us to assume that he meant the league in general, which would obviously include the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool.

Nope. There is no real comparison of leagues there. He just inferring you wouldn't notice any difference from the average. He is not using those exact words, but to me, that is what he is inferring. Now the man taking a shot..so he pushing the boundaries a little..and on purpose. But did he say any MLS players would be stars in the EPL? NOPE. That to me says he not really saying they are equal, cuz for MLS to be on par with the EPL, its not good enough to just handle your stories. YTou have to have a few who could more than ride with the very best and he is careful not go so far. Right now he saying that he feels many of his boys could play in the EPL without looking out of place..and more and more of them doing it. So I cah hate on the man.
Besides..I look at it this way. Them English snobs writing some real poor reviews about your product and most of them just elitist snobs who never even watch a game. steeuups. When the English belittle our warriors..what we say. OH the EPL overrated..them fellas not good. Oh we could beat them. This one and that one good enough for EPL..blah blah blah. Same setta ah allyuh come back now and crying down Lalas. The English belittling the Americans and we vex cuz Lalas come back swinging. So what if you disagree..the man doing the right thing (and is good kix too). So what if he need some lessons in subtelty. Hit them boy Alexi...Let the establishment know that when they want to get nasty, you go fight back. Is only US hate on this board..steups. In principal I standing with Alexi.

Right now he saying that he feels many of his boys could play in the EPL without looking out of place..and more and more of them doing it. So I cah hate on the man.
Besides..I look at it this way. Them English snobs writing some real poor reviews about your product and most of them just elitist snobs who never even watch a game. steeuups. When the English belittle our warriors..what we say. OH the EPL overrated..them fellas not good. Oh we could beat them. This one and that one good enough for EPL..blah blah blah. Same setta ah allyuh come back now and crying down Lalas. The English belittling the Americans and we vex cuz Lalas come back swinging. So what if you disagree..the man doing the right thing (and is good kix too). So what if he need some lessons in subtelty. Hit them boy Alexi...Let the establishment know that when they want to get nasty, you go fight back. Is only US hate on this board..steups. In principal I standing with Alexi.
All of you who talking about LalAss MAKING SENSE is just ah bunch ah EPL haters stueps.

nope.. I love the EPL. And although I disagree with how Lalas expressed his point, I think I understand and agree with a lot of what he is saying. The EPL is a very well promoted, well marketed product. It is miles ahead of La Liga and Serie A in terms of global viewership, profiability and commercial viability. If you believe that is all down to what is going on on the pitch (that part is dam good and exciting)..well, you're wrong. You don't have to be an EPL hater to recognize what a good job they have done promoting the product. Would I use the term inferior...never..but as I said before, I doh mind that Lalas come out swinging ;D
And in order to infer anything between the MLS and the EPL a comparison has to be made. Yuh real stubborn horse. :D
Compare: v. 1 estimate, measure or note the similarity between; point out or describe the resemblances of something with; liken to.
So umm...yeah, Lalas was comparing the MLS to the EPL and his assessment was that MLS players would be able to hold their own and perform on par with players in the EPL. Whether you agree with him or not is beside the point.

Toppa..I am a subborn fella :devil: :devil:. But I not stubborn for stubborness sake. Yeah..he is indirectly comparing the 2 leagues. No doubt. When I first said he was not comparing them, I did not see the part about the MLS players being able to hold their own in the EPL. My first 2 responses were to the original post which I think did not have that part. I think that was added later..no? Then even when I saw that, I was confusing the idea that he really was not saying the leagues are equal...with not comparing them. But you're correct. It is an indirect comparison of the leagues. Does he really think every MLS player could make it in the EPL. I doubt that. Could anyone be that deluded? His statement reads a lot like hyperbole. He is exaggerating to make a point. I am looking at it like that, so I really don't get a clear picture of how he feels about MLS as a league compared to the EPL. And I don't think that is his intention. At best I can say I don't think he really believes they are comparable, but you're right, in doing so he has compared them.
Watch and see tomorrow he will say the MLS better than the EPL and I will have to flicking hit him a lash after a defend him whole day on de forum ;D

Yeah, no scene. Maybe he really did just want to lash out, buh he just make it harder for people to take him or the MLS seriously. But at least he made my facebook quotes, so that's a plus for him.
Excuse me, but by saying that the MLS players wouldn't "miss a beat" and that there would be no "difference in quality" he is obviously saying that they are on par/at the same level as their Englsih counter-parts...that there is a comparison. And he didn't even say whether he was talking about the mid-tier clubs, leaving us to assume that he meant the league in general, which would obviously include the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool.
Nope. There is no real comparison of leagues there.

Like I said b4, even though there is no direct comparison (in the first article), yuh hadda be a real technical man relying on semantics & splitting hairs to deny that Lalas is not implying that the MLS is on par with the EPL (even if he doesn't believe it deep down inside himself) based on his statements.....Technically what he expressing is that MLS players are somewhat technically on par with EPL players in general...Deducing a similar comparison of leagues by extrapolation is not that far of stretch- give Toppa a bligh....
It is true that saying MLS players wouldn't miss a beat if dropped in the middle of a EPL game is not necessarily a comparison of the leagues- just because players are technically on par doesn't make the league on par, because the EPL consists of more teams, more competitions, more games, more global exposure, greater pressure from the press, more passionate fans, bigger prize money, bigger salaries, more endorsement opportunities etc............................so there are many factors that set the leagues apart other than the technical ability of the players (which Lalas is speaking more directly too)....but I eh go dis Toppa for drawing the deduction that she did....Lalas was taking a jab at the EPL, and in some form or the other comparing it to the MLS.....
The commentators during T&T game vs USA, one of them (Caliguiri I believe) said that not even the Mexicans in the Mexican league is playing at a high standard; that the MLS was better then the Mexican League. I could not understand how he come up with that, but now here is another "great" American saying that the EPL is inferior.If Caliguiri really said that he is backside. The MLS players are probably physically stronger and could possibly give you a better sprint but in terms of tactics and technique it's no comparison. In Mexican football defenders know how to move the ball out of defense better. The average level of ball control they have is remarkable. And front the strikers have much higher skill level and are better finishers. Their solution in a tight situation is thought and not always speed. It's not the first time I've said this but the Mexican league from what I've seen is only behind Brazil and Argentina in terms on this side of the world. If they were able to attract high quality South African and African players the league would improve even more.
Look at the standings. The supposedly best team is just that supposedly.

lol...ah juss doing ah quick run thru before ah breeze out...
hard luck boy Bakes....laawwd yuh quick on the draw...I was just expanding on meh point, (prematurely hit "send")...and yuh hit meh b4 ah could modify.....hear meh out again- above... :beermug:
If they cyah stick long enuf to prove theyself what that tell yuh 8)
Point taken...IMHO though for a country that only got its act together (football-wise) in the last decade and a half, their players have done their cause no major harm in England (and Europe in general)- Now if yuh want to talk about players who traditionally (long enough to call a trend) struggle badly outside of their home------ Mexico !!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree that far too often people on this board love to jump on the anti-US bandwagon...but in this regard I think the opinions about the perceived comparison are on point.
I stand by the notion that the majority of fuss on this thread is about Trinis fighting down the U.S./MLS & at the same time worshipping the EPL.....if Rafa Benitez came out and said that there are a handful of PFL players that could walk on to Liverpool and not miss a beat, we woulda quote it as the gospel, even though the absurdity of such a statement is exponentially greater than anything that Lalas said....plain talk eh no bad manners....
I put no particular 'spin' on it...the comment is there for all with understanding to see. The fact that you can't decipher the message in the statement is not itself an indictment of the statement.
thanks bake n' shark - that's exactly what i meant.
Forgive me if I am putting words in your mouth but i dont think that is what you meant to say at all, just that BnS put a good spin on it so you like that.QuoteAlexi Lalas, the president of LA Galaxy and the man responsible for taking David Beckham to Major League Soccer in the United States next month, has suggested that the Premiership is an "inferior product" whose global success is largely down to American marketing techniques.
"There's no accounting for bad taste," Lalas said in an exclusive interview with the Guardian. "That a segment of the world worships an inferior product in the Premiership is their business. English football now has the haves and the have-nots. It's just that the Premiership have become so skilled in presentation. They took a page out of American football and so now they have Saturday Showdowns and Super Sundays. I love it. This is high-calibre marketing - taking an inferior product and improving it through packaging."
yuh see all them bolded lines, is the football the man talking about, the so called quality of the EPL as a marketable entity is the quality of its football.
I think he means that Lalas isn't so much criticizing the quality of the EPL game, but moreso the quality of the EPL as a marketable entity.lalas is approaching this from a business point of view not a footballing point of view. the word "inferior" preceeded the word "product".
??? ???
Six on one hand...half dozen on the other if you ask me though. The EPL is in great financial shape...so obviously they're doing a bang up job with marketing to sponsors and fans.

My initial response of ??? was less about me not understanding the statement and more about me not agreeing with what was being said.
and you are wrong, the fact that I, cant 'decipher' the message in the statement says alot about the statement.

Boo!
United to win and everybody after. Rio's continued back problems is a worry and I still feel the team is not strong enough in midfield. I don't want too hear any sh!te from Fergie later in the season about underestimating the need to strengthen the mid.So gigsy, yuh think coach Martinez attractive? :devil: :devil:
City have serious licks to get, they can't defend, when Toure is your best defender, you are in trouble.
Tevez will start moaning about not starting by round 5 of the fixtures.
Ade will quit playing hard before the game against Blackburn ends.
Wigan will surprise teams and will play some attractive football. Like the new coach Martinez.
Aston Villa will fall back to the pack; their defence is not strong.
The league will continue to feature some of the most unskilled labourours you will ever find in a top league. Cringe factor will still be very high every weekend.
Everton will continue to be the biggest threat for a top 4 place. Love how they play their game and the manager manages.
All the fringe players for Spurs will be charged with drink driving at some time this season.

In now checking de scenes in dah one... Wolves are decent defensive squad though. Hard luck injury for KJ. How allyuh boy Fuller doing so far?
Martinez will be lucky to have a job by Christmas.I was just telling meh cousin that he would be the first manager to get the axe this season.
Wigan will be relegated by Christmas. If Marlon Harewood could get two goals against Wigan then something seriously wrong.Martinez will be lucky to have a job by Christmas.I was just telling meh cousin that he would be the first manager to get the axe this season.
Have to be a disappointing draw for Spurs... Bale showed that his right foot juss dey tuh help keep him upright. To be fair he was Spurs most dangerous player today and should have been awarded a first half penalty when Richards shoved him in the box. EPL refs really need to clean up the English game because it becomes an absolute liability to the national squad in international play... and perhaps more importantly, for all EPL players, it really affects their ability to stay healthy over the 9-month English season.
City lucky... did well... to escape with a point, they didn't really play any kind of inspired ball and the only man really earning he keep today was Hart, with high honorable mention to DeJong and Kompany in that order. David Silva was an absolute waste in my opinion... and MEP I agree, how the hell Mancini supposed to keep all dem men happy?
Huddlestone was MOM in my opinion...amazing technique and distribution.
Hart MOM for City.
Bakes,
Yuh see d rip diaby hit a man tru he leg...and eboue rip on the line.
anyone know why Fabregas miss the match ???
David Silva was an absolute waste in my opinion...
Chris Hughton will have a very hard time getting positive results out of this New Castle squad... they were totally outclassed by ManU today.
city looking good
city looking good
the smallie sitting down in the stands next to balotelli too..
Whey sah! Torres had Richards breakdancing yes. :rotfl:
Citeh will continue to pull stones wit all dem overrated Englishmen gettin run! Johnson, Barry, Milner, Richards. Lescott. Only Hart decent. If Ballotelli and he ugly arse could pull dat well yuh know is not about the looks!
2-0 City... Micah Richards in the 53'... even though Tevez trying to claim the goal. Unassertive keeping by Reina.
Meanwhile Joe Hart just push Given further down on the bench... three terrific close up saves against Kuyt, Gerrard and then Torres in rapid succession.
EDIT:
3-0 Tevez with a 68' minute penalty after Adam Johnson sold a penalty dive on the witless and absolutely inept Phil Dowd.

He was already off balance after riding the first tackle and the second liverpool defender cleared his leg out from under him. Not saying Dowd is the best referee in the Prem, but straightforward penalty for me.
Lol, that was a stonewall penalty.. You have to be the only man arguing that.
In a play like that is who get the first toe to the ball win.

Like the Man United thread deleted.
Tell me the refs don't cheat for Man United. Blatant, blatant, the ref tell the lines mans to put he flag down is ah goal. Nani dive first off, and then sit down and holding the ball with he hand. There is no way the ref and the lines man could have missed it.
Cheats, thats the only way Man United winning. So much for the respect of the game from Fergusson. That is blatant cheating.

Blatant as it comes.
The linesman raise his flag. The ref was supposed to call back the play for the hands. He missed it but the linesman raised his flag to call for it and the ref overruled. Utter madness.
I could understand if the lines had not called for it and the ref decided to play advantage and no whistle blow but that is not what happened.
small man, check yuhself with that language it is not necessary.
i will only say that once.
BOTH OF ALLYUH COULD TAKE A BIG f**k YOU
Firstly Nani was fouled...should have been a penalty...He handled the ball to stop play thinking he had won a penalty, looked up realised he didnt get it and lay on the floor...Gomes saw him handle the ball and picked up the ball then dropped it a few yards where the handled ball happened... The lino and the ref NEVER raised a flag or blew a whistle indicating a hand ball... Gomes drop the ball while play was ongoing..Nani quickly scored
GOMES is a c**t...The Referee and Linesman did shit... Nani score
BOOM f**kING BANG
Besides that made it 2-0... we would have still won
f**k BOTH OF YOU..Study your own side... lucky to win at Blackburn today... allyuh pay the ref too? ::) ::) do you realise how stupid yall sound when you say shit like we paying refs and they blatantly cheating for us... f**kING SHITHONGS
allyuh 5 points ahead and so scared of us?? you see me crying everytime Chelsea get a shit goal and win?
you better be scared..cuz we f**king coming

The linesman DID raise his flag... which is why Clattenburg went over to him.

he raise his flag about 5 seconds into the celebration.... he only do that because 10 Spurs players raced towards him... too little too late... he didnt see the handball... He probably told Clatteburg what the Spurs players were saying
Only Gomes saw the hand ball
Maximilliano Rodriquez finally break the deadlock in the 86'

Yeah that's why he's a master of creating chances in tight spaces.
Tenor... I agree, I dunno what Roy plan was but it finally seems to be taking hold.
We eh hiding like alyuh. I went to church, couldn't be bothered really. See I have faith in my team, don't have to hide during the game and then after 95 minutes :devil: of playing come out and gloat.
We lose a game, we expect that to be big news as we are not accustomed to losing.

Torres was never much of an imaginative dribbler, but he has the legs and the muscle to get past his marker- which is really all you need unless yuh from Trinindad and hence labeled a shittong if yuh cyah "beat"....
That said, Torres is a different player in the EPL than he was in the Spanish league....In the Spanish league he was alot more mobile but a poor finisher....In the EPL, he is less mobile but a way better finisher....one of the few players that I've seen adjust to a new league almost instantaneously...looks to be finding back some fitness and confidence.
In all fairness bout Torres and he dribbling skills. When he picked up the ball around Chelsea's box today, there were usually about 3-4 men around him. He ain't that type of a player. He is much more dangerous 1 v 1. I've seen him destroy men on the dribble in those situations.

In your dreams I am sure. The guy is good at shifting the ball to the side tuh create space but his way tuh get by a defender is tuh push the ball past them and chase it. He is not good at beatsin a man or two by dribbling past or tru them.

I say the man is a great goal scorer but in my opinion he can dribble tuh save his life,others beg tuh differ which is fine but yuh swear i said the man was a shitsnake! But that is expected when it comes tuh this forum
Fella yuh drowing in tis argument....let we put things in ah simpler form..none of your present ManU strikers in Torres class....yuh really analyze how this fella does take he goals....
allyuh like to use utd name loose loose eh.
allyuh like to use utd name loose loose eh.
Loose my ass... is ah Utd fan in here talking shit about thing she obviously doh know nutten about. Leh she go ask Ferdinand and Vidic if Torres could dribble nah.. see what they say.
Super Mario Ballotelli got out the blocks with ah brace, but short lived after ah real small infraction where he received a straight red. ah mean it was ah foul, but a yellow card @ best, in spite that he poison then all the same. say what.

Is Man Utd, Man City playing next, so as per script the FA on point with Ballotelli red card. However, they appeal so he most likely will play. An appeal takes about 7 days.
Vidic and Ferdinand better prepare well.
The scoreline did not flatter City and they almost increased their advantage when Tevez sent a free-kick on to the roof of Carson's net.
Balotelli then caused uproar by bundling over Nicky Shorey, although Probert did not deem the incident worthy of a yellow card.
The City striker might have been presented with a chance to complete his hat-trick just before the break but Yaya Toure's cross was cleared away.
City continued to press as the second half got under way, with Jerome Boateng finding himself in an unusually advanced position and just beaten to the ball by Carson.
Simon Cox almost pulled one back for Albion in spectacular fashion, though, with a swerving effort that cracked against the post.
Having no doubt impressed watching Italy boss Cesare Prandelli with his finishing prowess, Balotelli then received his marching orders after being shown yellow and then red cards in quick succession.

Arhmm.....given that he tackle a man hard before and got away.....and then going in so hard from behind....I not surprised.

He did not go in from behind, he made a concerted effort to get around. The tackle was late, but is was not from behind
2nd Card
I guess everyone is closing their eyes to the defender arm wrapped around Ballotelli leg. The defender held on to Ballotelli and would not let him go. WTH. Because is Ballotelli and he know that everything he do is scrutinized he should just stop try get the ball? :bs: utter :bs:
The defender was the only one on that play that should be carded.
Explain to me what Ballotelli should have done on that play with the defender arm around his leg?

I bet that If City's next game was not vs United you wouldnt hear a word about Ignorant Ballo's red card from mr I'm A Chelsea fan but all I do is study United Elan
I never see a man so scared of a next team that he watching the fixture list and making sure the next team have their main players and crying about if they dont with conspiracy theories .... paranoid much?
I hope you in the bridge when we burn it down on the 19th..
Missin lamps alot...Ramires still not up to speed...To be fair...we didnt pass any of our major tests this season ...hope things change when everyone fit.

u using arsenal as a comparison side? allyuh standards real drop boy
Stoke holding Liverpool. Jones' touch is a hard one boy. Great in the Air and and positioning. That touch would help he goal rate.
Walters is ah real imps yuh kno. 2x de man ha KJ open an do shit!! Big up KJ, Pennant ha yuh back!!!
Walters is an Irish guy so I have been following him for a long time. To be honest I don't think he's really good enough for the EPL though I hope he'll prove me wrong. He probably realizes he needs to make a mark with Gudjohnsen and Tuncay also there.Walters is ah real imps yuh kno. 2x de man ha KJ open an do shit!! Big up KJ, Pennant ha yuh back!!!
ah was real cussing he, real greedy man ting.. if i was de coach he ent seeing de field for a while
As well as we played against Chelsea last week we came out real uninspired this game. Also thought the ref let the game get away from him there was a lot of physical play all over the field and I think that worked to Stokes' advantage... although they didn't really capitalize. Delap is such a great additional weapon to have on those long throws... time after time Stoke threatened and that scramble shit goal Fuller score had been in the works for some time.
Kudos to Pennant... he was certainly fired up, and continues a nice revival of his career. Was one of my faves while at Anfield but he got crowded out. Today he made us pay. Jones had a very up and down game for me, his touches are ridiculously bad at times... but as with any striker, give him enough chances to get it right and chances are that he will. The commentators real rate him up, even the Fox studio crew.
yea horrible game by liverpool today. though still happy that jones got a goal. pennant....what can i say i always had a respect for the guy. he's playing some real ball now.
i think after meireles and maxi came off that left the middle vulnerable to stoke's counter attacks. i have to mention babel, he came out to play today and had some good runs. hope to see more from him.

Whey sah.....Sunderland actually have ah knocking ball brand yes. Things change fuh them boy. They looking like they could rest more on Cheasea too. Meanwhile, Chelsea looking uninspired, and not looking like they scoring anytime soon. They shoulda be on 10 men too.
Ah tell alyu Bruce is a boss.
He made some harsh/unpopular decisions and it's paying off.Ah tell alyu Bruce is a boss.
He never win against Chelsea until today....what really make him a boss?

The thing is he got rid of Kenwyne and pick up Gyan,he got a lot of stick for that on here.What The....I jess see Sund. 2 -Chel 0 ::) Gyan score again?
3-0... Gyah score, but Welbeck is de man who propel Sunderland throughout. Fittingly Cashley served him up one on ah platter for a well-deserved score.
Score could easily have been 5-0... Zenden throw'way in de dregs and Welbeck forced a diving left-handed save from Cech off a sweet header. Only real Chelsea chance I could remember was Ramires' header early in the second half.He made some harsh/unpopular decisions and it's paying off.
I won't be so quick to credit Bruce... Gyan has made all the difference. Today is the first time all season a Sunderland player other than him or Bent score. Not sure how Welbeck has played up to now though, and defensively they've looked much better (considering they gave up 7 to Chelsea the last time).
The thing is he got rid of Kenwyne and pick up Gyan,he got a lot of stick for that on here.

lol, yuh harsh.
But right... funny enough I was thinking about that comparison watching the game. Perhaps unfair to Kenwyne to compare him to Gyan, who clearly brings a different skillset. Gyan is a player who can create for himself, whereas KJ need table service... KJ was more active yesterday than I've seen him in quite some time, but we shouldn't mistake activity for achievement. Gyan (today at least) was not only active, but threatening with his runs... and doing it against a better defense than KJ faced yesterday. Gyan only has one more goal than Kenwyne so far, but you have to like his chances of beating him in that deparment this season.
de shithong who does give we some problems when we play de US
my point exactlyde shithong who does give we some problems when we play de US
What does that say about us then when it comes to playing the USA? :-[
shit, Arsene took too long to replace Chamakh. To me Chamakh was breaksin from the ball and pull Fabregas hand with his.
Spurs!!!
3-2
They could play Hotspurs - Arsenal every week. Always entertaining.
I guess Harry "go out and sweat" halftime speech does work.

Bess game to wake up early on a Saturday morning for..
Chamakh is a goat. Had that been a Torres or any top 4 EPL striker this game wouldve been done and dusted a long time ago. If Van Persie get back to 100% though, Arsenal will do some serious damage because they have real men loading the gun.
Koscielney is a goat too but Bale is a smart player. In both challenges he sell Denilson and Koscielney into the yellow cards, purposely overpush and then accelerate at the last second.
I thought Modric was the player of the game for me.
Modric had a great second half, but Galas was the player of the game for me.
Steups I sold Berba long time. 4 points a goal plus bonuses, he makin about 30 pts. If anyone have him as their captain they makin mas all now.
Jeezus, Balotelli with a beauty!

Chelsea looking ordinary... Ancellotti coaching like a Big Phil redux.
Baines run pass Mikel, Kalou and Fereira like some Hollywood extras on de field... cross to Cahill on the far right post, back across to Jermaine Beckford... back of the net... equalizer. Chelsea get ah early penalty and seemed content to sit on they 1-goal lead. They really should be down 1-2 after Rodwell headed one off the inside of the post (better chance than Terry's lob onto the crossbar in the first half).
Talking point will be whether Howard should have been sent off for obstructing Anelka in the box... resulting in Drogba's penalty.

Chelsea sit back on a 1-1 and get 7 minutes extra time and barely went forward...Everton should have won it in the end

Fellaini is ah goat... he get ah sweet ball floated into de box with two men on him... and nobody on Beckford. De facker try to control it off he chest to keep it, rather than knock it down into Beckford path. Macca say he hair musse was in he eyes :rotfl:
Very unfair indeed. Hughton stabilized the club after much turmoil. Newcastle is a prime example of a club that keeps changing coaches and simply cannot make any progresss. What the club needs is to get stable and then build, but nah! Another successful business man who brains turns to shit, once he enters the football world.Agreed. Ah cyah support dat side anymore after dis.
On another EPL note. I am very impressed with the work of Roberto DiMatteo. Wes Brom playing some composed and effective football. Not only are the players encouraged to play with confidence, but some genuine talent is emerging. For me Di Matteo is showing great quality here, simply because this is no cheque book team and he is patiently building for success. :applause: :applause:
Newcastle United have parted company with manager Chris Hughton following a recent dip in the team's fortunes.
The Magpies were beaten 3-1 at West Brom on Saturday, a week after holding Chelsea to a 1-1 draw, although that result followed a 5-1 defeat at Bolton.
Hughton guided Newcastle back into the Premier League in May after their relegation in the 2009-10 campaign.
Newcastle are currently 11th in the top flight, with five wins from 16 games - only two of those coming at home.
Rumours that the ex-Spurs defender was set to leave the club began circulating several weeks ago.
A statement on the club website said: "the board would like to place on record their thanks to Chris for his considerable efforts during the club's transition from Championship to Premier League club.
"Chris has shown exceptional character and commitment since being appointed manager in October 2009. The club wishes him well in the future.
"Regrettably the board now feels that an individual with more managerial experience is needed to take the club forward.
"The task of appointing a new manager now begins. An announcement will be made shortly regarding transitional arrangements pending the appointment of a successor."

WOWZERS... This seems a bit unfair... Mike Ashley is going to burn in hell

Please don't take that sentiment for granted. We only good enough to do the bull**** work, then they will replace us and bring some old recycled trash. What the hell they mean by looking for a more experienced manager ??? If he could get the axe for this reason then Latas could get axe too ???

Hughton good enough to stabilize the club, good enough to be the number two man at Spurs for years, good enough to get them back into the Prem and get quality results against the top-flite clubs on the road... good enough to get them to 11th in the table their first year back... but not good enough to lead them forward. Nonsense... especially since the rumored "more experienced" manager they have in mind is Alan Pardew.
The Guardian is similarly unimpressed and unconvinced (http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/dec/06/the-fiver-chris-hughton-sacked).

It appears the trend when giving minorities a chance to manage or be in charge is when the team or situation is lower than low. Even with the USA's president elect after Bush left a mess! I also think it is an easy way to say hey we gave them a chance but the question is would you give them the same chance and trust them with the opportunity if the team was at the top and in a position to go from strength to strength?
We will disagree on this one. Newcastle is a club with a history of fack ups when it comes to managers. From 2000 to present they have had Robson, Souness, Roeder, Allardyce, keegan, Kinnear, Shearer, Hughton
Shearer, was not confident to take charge in the Championship. Houghton stepped up and proved his worth. My bet is Newcastle will take some abuse by the media for this move.

Great positive start by Liverpool... 2-0 18'
Skrtel with the header off the corner, back into the penalty area where David N'gog put it away with a flying close-range header 15'. Two minutes later Ryan Babel took a chipped pass over the Villa backline from Lucas... looked to be a step offside but the flag stayed down and Brad Friedel was beaten for the second time to start the game.
No Sidwell, no Reo-Coker, no Carew for Villa... but Liverpool are also playing without Gerard, Torres (birth of his child) and Carragher.
3-0 nice shot by maxi! seems to be a cakewalk for liverpool today. xaibi alonso has been spotted in the stands.

Macca was giving Xabi a little bit of good-natured stick... he said he finally got a little 4-day holiday and instead of going to the beach he comes to Liverpool, lol. Nice touch by Xabi though, as noted by Ian Darke, it shows that he still has high regards for the club and the area.
As for Maxi's goal... sweet release by Reina to Maxi who made a nice early pass to N'gog before getting it back. Nice counter by Liverpool... great composed finishing by Maxi.
they should have keep him.More likely because he's Irish
He was doing a great job with a mostly shit squad.
They fire him because he black and they do not want to risk a black man doing well as a manager in england.
look for them to get back into a relegation battle.
Because the players they have were over performing which is most likely due to coach motivation.
Now that he gone they will be disappointed and performances will drop.

Lol you can tell he misses Liverpool. We miss him as well. Great game though by Liverpool minus our three key players in Carragher, Gerrard and Torres. I think it's Reina's 100th clean sheet for Liverpool also right?
For Aston Villa what can i say. They were over-matched. I like how that kid delalphonso (don't know how you spell it) plays. Still a bit raw but has great potential.
My newcastle partner now send me this message:
If Alan Pardew is the answer - What the f**k's the question?
Pardew hired ??? Ashley wanted a more experienced coach, so he goes for Pardew, who has a grand total of 17 months experience in the Premier League :devil:

Ah tell allyuh dem jokers was going with Pardew... the same imps who park Tevez and Mascherano on de bench and refuse to gih dem run.
Yes dread I was just reading that Tevez scenario just now. I noticed he didn't even dress for today's game, plus he might be considering retirement since he's not getting along with Mancini and is missing his daughters back home. I thought he was having an excellent season, I even had him as captain for my fantasy team so now that's no points from him for the week :cursing:
So he want a transfer but to where?
apparently he was banned today..I guess he picked up a 5th yellow card
What a idiot though... thank god we got rid of him in the end.. he's a f**king circus... quality player but too much negative press

I know u guys are experts on that, just ask Owen next time he steps on Anfield . ;D
I have nothing but ill-will towards Newcastle. I do believe that being black worked against him in addition to them being delusional about themselves.
The EPL is worse than the NFL when it comes to minorities in management. Secondly, minority managers are never given time to prove themselves. Ask John Barnes, Paul Ince and now Chris Houghton.

And or trying to force Mancini out.
I said on another thread that Essien struggled mainly due to match fitness. And Chelski midfield looked always outnumbered.
Anelka pull stones
Not the best football game, but it was packed with excitement
Real Drama queen ting. Fergie looking more and more like he was right.
Although the real ting is....de money to buy him outright was only available after Ronaldo got sold. When an offer was made to him...he done make up he mind he wasnt staying cuz dey take too long. So......dis kinda keeping in character.

arsenal resorting to kicking and fouling we players to stop we knock.
Webb tolerate it as much as he could.
Apart from that, everyone seems to be slipping.

As I said elsewhere... you does only see what yuh want to see. At one point some years ago I made the argument that Howard Webb is the best referee in the EPL. Well is either things real change or I was wrong, because Webb is horrible, and worse, prone to being influenced, particularly at Old Trafford. I won't even bring up the Derby against City last year when he fish the extra 6 mins out he ass to favor Utd. Now Rio come in with ah de Jong specialty and rip ah 8-inch hole in Sagna shirt as the studs connect tuh mid-riff. Webb wave play on like nutten happen. How de ass ah man jump to head ah ball and lead with ah high foot and you ent blow nutten?
--------------------
Now he award a shit penalty against Clichy. Ball kicked tuh hand while the man on de ground... what he supposed to do... disappear?
Justice... God doh like ugly.
True that ...just look at liverpool.
anyhow, my post above was at half time b4 rio made that challenge, but u wouldnt know cause u didnt see the first half right?
Desreved win.
Shyte call on the PK. Clichy got better in the 2nd half.
Arsenal looked like they forget you have to score in the game.

If you want to be funny go look in the mirror... although knowing you yuh'd probably probably try to ride the jackass staring back at yuh.
You making that post befor the Rio challenge doesn't hide the fact you are biased and incapable of offering anything objective when it comes to ManU. I just finished watching the first half and it only proves what I was saying. There's no way Webb could call some of them soft fouls, especially on Song, and let hatchetman Fletcher get away without a talking-to. Oh, wait... they play at Old Trafford, so no real surprise.
Sunderland and Bolten Wanderers is quite a good game so far (half time) but i'm hearing from the comentators the ManU v Chelsea game tomorrow is cancelled due to weather.

Everybody focusin on ramires but what exactly obi mikel bringin to tuh table?Giggsy, yuh really need to check yuh self. until this 7-8 game slide, Mikel has been one of the best players on the team. The ENTIRE TEAM has been playin shit during our bad run, save for one or two players like Cech, Terry and Ivanovic. I know why yuh keep ridin' on my boy Mikel but yuh being overly rediculous with your criticism of him. More often than not, he is left to cover for other men's mistakes PLUS playing his own role. Even the commentators was gettin' on his case today when John Terry (I think) gave the man a suicidal bad pass in the defense and he STILL was able to clear the danger then he got another frantic bad pass near the right back position and they talkin' 'bout Mikel not on his game WTF?!?! Our forwards pullin' more stones than ANYBODY on the field and yet everybody talkin' 'bout Ramires and all you talkin' 'bout is Mikel. Gimme me a break! PLEASE! What did Lampard do today? What has Kalou done for the past 15 games? What has Anelka done for the past 10?

Yuh boy has been one of many passengers and has contributed nil as the team continues to slde hence him being first sub almost every match! If he has all these attacking skills he supposedly have how come he gets sub when Chelski need to be more creative or positive?
Roman going to spend spend spend in Jan
Chelsea is a now come up waggonist side...once paper stop spending alyuh gorn tru.

Agreed... is just a poor signing. Look Aquilani tearing it up for Juventus when he couldn't even come off the bench at Liverpool. Too much expectations coupled with a poor fit= recipe for failure, true of both situations.
All i can say is that this is a deliberate ploy by Chelsea to weed out the waggonists!!
lol
We are an aging squad and we are in a really bad patch. We are also a woefully shallow squad. One look at the Chelsea bench and you would have realised that.
There is no way u can challenge for a title with a bench of Kakuta, Ramirez, Bosingwa, McEarchren, Van Anholt and Bruma.
When i looked on the arsenal bench, I saw, Arshavin, Diaby, Rosicky, Bentner, Chamakh....mismatch by a mile!!
Now we have to look over our shoulder for Tottenham.
Pressha!!

You are asking a question that I have answered a long time ago. Chelsea, from the get-go has been using John Obi mikel as a defensive midfielder while his play for his national team has already proven his playmaking abilities. If ypu want to use tactical substitutions as a basis for arguing what his worth is, then you are being very narrow. This is the same club that insisted on making Shevchenko and Ballack key players when they were obviously past their primes and expiration dates. Just because he is being subbed, doesn't make him the problem. He is obviously worth being a starter. You say he is one of many "passengers" on the team during their slide, so, what makes you constantly single him out? What about Kalou? How come you don't ask about HIS contribution (or lack thereof). GAgain, I ask, gimme a break, giggsy! Left up to your evaluation of a player, Berbatov would never make allyuh shit side (never mind how good he proved he was when he was with Spurs) but tell me, is he still a shit player to you?

So what do you think Obi is showing them in practise that they only playing him as a dm? Your boy is part of the problem the same way Berbatov's inconsistensy has been part of United's problem since he came to the team. I am not picking on Obi but if ramires getting criticism for not performing well the hell obi has done to escape criticism? you keep saying he is asked to play dm but don't you think that based on the struggles of the team the manager would have used his hidden talents to bring something different to the team versus subbin him? Especially when Lampard was out. Or do they already know?

Since yuh wanna play yuh don't know, let meh remind yuh that JOM plays an attaking midfield for Nigeria since the U-17 World Cup in finland, 2003. Chelsea has made it their business to use him as a defensive mid (and who knows what position manu was lookin' to use him as) and I don't give a shit what you want to try to reason as "what Chelsea does see in practice" because the whole world saw what he did in Holland in 2005, particulalrly what he did to them Argentinians in the final. Yes, that was 5 years ago, but it was then and always has been the basis for my continued contention of WHAT HE IS CAPABLE OF. Argentina was absolutely outplayed by Nigeria and JOM was the man pulling all the strings for Nigeria and I have the tape if you want to review/dispute it. Maybe you can see for yourself "what Chelsea does see in practice" and scratch yuh head like me.
Allyuh does want to have debate issues so hypocritically it ain't funny. You want to use a team's tactics as a basis for singling out one player as not being good. YOU know all too well that Chelsea had TWO, no, make dat THREE good wingers in SWP and Arjen Robben (that divin' bitch!) and Joe Cole and showed no commitment to playing on the wings. Now the team want to use the fullbacks as overlapping "wingers" and we doh have no established wingers in the squad. Go figure. Look how long it has been takin' Chelsea to establish an attacking partnership between Drogba and Anelka. You think arsene9 or alex wasn't going to done forcefully apply all the necessary permutations of that combination (and Kalou) to whatever advantage the team can garner from it? Gimme a break, giggsy. As I said before, when MY team came out hot and sweaty out the starting blocks, JOM was getting accolades all around (even from some non-believers on this forum) as being one of the best players on the team. Now, during the team's 8-game slide, I agree he hasn't played his best, but it hasn't been all his fault. But you constantly singling him out (and I know why) and everybody else singling out Ramires....rather unfairly. the man get two terrible passes yesterday in the heart of the defence and did the best he could with them and men talkin' shit. Allyuh good oui! I ask you to account for some of the other players on my team doing and all you using is flawed logic to digress. Lampard was absolutely ineffective for the entire game yesterday as we all would agree. Did Ancelotti take him off? No. So "substitutions" don't always have to do with any one player playin' more shit than anybody else like you infer.

You are asking a question that I have answered a long time ago. Chelsea, from the get-go has been using John Obi mikel as a defensive midfielder while his play for his national team has already proven his playmaking abilities. If ypu want to use tactical substitutions as a basis for arguing what his worth is, then you are being very narrow. This is the same club that insisted on making Shevchenko and Ballack key players when they were obviously past their primes and expiration dates. Just because he is being subbed, doesn't make him the problem. He is obviously worth being a starter. You say he is one of many "passengers" on the team during their slide, so, what makes you constantly single him out? What about Kalou? How come you don't ask about HIS contribution (or lack thereof). GAgain, I ask, gimme a break, giggsy! Left up to your evaluation of a player, Berbatov would never make allyuh shit side (never mind how good he proved he was when he was with Spurs) but tell me, is he still a shit player to you?
So what do you think Obi is showing them in practise that they only playing him as a dm? Your boy is part of the problem the same way Berbatov's inconsistensy has been part of United's problem since he came to the team. I am not picking on Obi but if ramires getting criticism for not performing well the hell obi has done to escape criticism? you keep saying he is asked to play dm but don't you think that based on the struggles of the team the manager would have used his hidden talents to bring something different to the team versus subbin him? Especially when Lampard was out. Or do they already know?
Since yuh wanna play yuh don't know, let meh remind yuh that JOM plays an attaking midfield for Nigeria since the U-17 World Cup in finland, 2003. Chelsea has made it their business to use him as a defensive mid (and who knows what position manu was lookin' to use him as) and I don't give a shit what you want to try to reason as "what Chelsea does see in practice" because the whole world saw what he did in Holland in 2005, particulalrly what he did to them Argentinians in the final. Yes, that was 5 years ago, but it was then and always has been the basis for my continued contention of WHAT HE IS CAPABLE OF. Argentina was absolutely outplayed by Nigeria and JOM was the man pulling all the strings for Nigeria and I have the tape if you want to review/dispute it. Maybe you can see for yourself "what Chelsea does see in practice" and scratch yuh head like me.
Allyuh does want to have debate issues so hypocritically it ain't funny. You want to use a team's tactics as a basis for singling out one player as not being good. YOU know all too well that Chelsea had TWO, no, make dat THREE good wingers in SWP and Arjen Robben (that divin' bitch!) and Joe Cole and showed no commitment to playing on the wings. Now the team want to use the fullbacks as overlapping "wingers" and we doh have no established wingers in the squad. Go figure. Look how long it has been takin' Chelsea to establish an attacking partnership between Drogba and Anelka. You think arsene9 or alex wasn't going to done forcefully apply all the necessary permutations of that combination (and Kalou) to whatever advantage the team can garner from it? Gimme a break, giggsy. As I said before, when MY team came out hot and sweaty out the starting blocks, JOM was getting accolades all around (even from some non-believers on this forum) as being one of the best players on the team. Now, during the team's 8-game slide, I agree he hasn't played his best, but it hasn't been all his fault. But you constantly singling him out (and I know why) and everybody else singling out Ramires....rather unfairly. the man get two terrible passes yesterday in the heart of the defence and did the best he could with them and men talkin' shit. Allyuh good oui! I ask you to account for some of the other players on my team doing and all you using is flawed logic to digress. Lampard was absolutely ineffective for the entire game yesterday as we all would agree. Did Ancelotti take him off? No. So "substitutions" don't always have to do with any one player playin' more shit than anybody else like you infer.
Why am I singling him out like you say?
Everybody focusin on ramires but what exactly obi mikel bringin to tuh table?Giggsy, yuh really need to check yuh self. until this 7-8 game slide, Mikel has been one of the best players on the team. The ENTIRE TEAM has been playin shit during our bad run, save for one or two players like Cech, Terry and Ivanovic. I know why yuh keep ridin' on my boy Mikel but yuh being overly rediculous with your criticism of him. More often than not, he is left to cover for other men's mistakes PLUS playing his own role. Even the commentators was gettin' on his case today when John Terry (I think) gave the man a suicidal bad pass in the defense and he STILL was able to clear the danger then he got another frantic bad pass near the right back position and they talkin' 'bout Mikel not on his game WTF?!?! Our forwards pullin' more stones than ANYBODY on the field and yet everybody talkin' 'bout Ramires and all you talkin' 'bout is Mikel. Gimme me a break! PLEASE! What did Lampard do today? What has Kalou done for the past 15 games? What has Anelka done for the past 10?

GOAL! berba :angel: ,wow sweet touch :o
Just last year man on this site was calling Berba a shithound / shitsnake. Now he is getting an extended run, all his qualities blossoming. He showing touches, vision and world class finishing.
offside and handball!
But we go take it!
Newcastle's keeper is one shitsnake!
nice handball from Birmingham lol
nice handball from Birmingham lol
Ball to hand... good non-call.
nice handball from Birmingham lol
Ball to hand... good non-call.
I stopped after that LOL
you real good yes...
3 things went down..Phillips pushed Rio.. Zigic rose above and handled it to Bowyer who was in a possible Offside position.... that's no ball to hand..especially when it led to a goal
50/50..yea..normal... ::)
If United scored a goal like that we wouldnt hear the end of it
nice handball from Birmingham lol
Ball to hand... good non-call. And no Bitter... look at when Bowyer started his run, didn't look off-side to me, the protest was over the 'handball'.
ManU fans have no business complaining b/c as per usual, every 50-50 call was given in their favor but this one (which the ref probably didn't see clear enough to call, if the linesman didn't call that, he couldn't call it either). I love Giggs but that is a straight up yellow card, two-footed, studs up tackle he put on that Brum player. Not to mention the foul by Fletcher right before that on the pass leading up to that challenge.
Then there was Ferdinand studs up header, in which Jerome somehow ended up getting pegged on his shin. No call was given. Mind you Ferdiand did THE SAME EXACT THING against Arsenal last week... and studded Sagna across his stomach. Sagna even ended up with his shirt in tatters, prompting Ferdinand to offer an apology to him (http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/853566?cc=5901) afterwards. Ref di'n see nutten wrong with that. But let one call go against allyuh and allyuh crying more than anybody.
That is blatant cheating by the ref, give Chelsea players cards and talk to Bolton's. :bs:
Arshavin playing crap whole game and then turn up to score.
Maybe the goal will snap him out of his funk.

Very evenly matched game between Bolton and Chelsea. Seeing Bolton for the first time in a year, I'm really impressed. I remember how they were struggle to stave off relegation under Gary Megson... now Coyle have them challenge for top 4. Paul Robinson playing very well across the the entire Bolton backline. I could see why he keeping Jlloyd on the bench. Elmander and Davies winning everything in the air up front, Ivanovic getting take fuh he lunch on every header.
Meanwhile in the Chelsea middle, Essien, Ramires and Malouda cyah make ah note. Ramires playing better though, but still nervous. Rodrigo had a nice battle going with Cole early... but like he fade close to de half.
Bolton were only able to name 6 subs (out of 7 allowed) today, if Jlloyd was fit I'm sure he'd at least make the bench.Arshavin playing crap whole game and then turn up to score.

Jlloyd not on de bench. He been injured practically all season.
Bakes what yuh say about the tackle on Essien just before he play the ball? That's a yellow after the play dead. Two footed lunge. If Essien had done that or Mikel or D'Jong that's a straight red.
Arsenal are a joke..cant beat a 10 man Wigan
Chelsea are a shit side ... what a joke .. offside goal and Bolton penalty dismissed
but yet United gets all the calls ::)...when they had 3 things went down in Birmingham's equaliser yesterday..a foul, handball and offside.

Dred you still bitching over that supposed "handball"?? Again I ask you... how can it be handball if the arm was at his side? Secondly it wasn't a foul on Ferdinand, at least not by EPL standards, Ferdinand just got beat to the jump and by then couldn't get off his feet.
The final grumble about offside is really too silly to even merit discussion.
BTW....Wolves at home dog? WOLVES AT HOME DOG???
1-0 FT.. Roy has got to go ..surely that is the final straw

Yeah... thanks for spoiling the game for me, I just sat down to watch it on delay.
Roy looks like he in too deep. Has not won over the Anfield faithful, tactics are highly questionable, players seem uninspired, and they keep chanting "Bring back Rafa". NESV, please pull the plug on Roy before January.

The final grumble about offside is really too silly to even merit discussion.
The guy's arms were in front of him and he redirected the ball the same way a volleyballer cushions the ball on the forearms to set it up. And he admitted to the United players after that handes the ball.
Far too many games are being decided by poor referee an assistant referee decisions. So much inconsistency! From offside, to hand ball, ball over the goal line and tackling, you really don't know what is the actual interpretation anymore. Souring the dam game.

At the Interational level Refs have to retire at 44, so that has been addressed. But I agree the game has become too quick. Maybe they should give more responsibility to the assistant referees.
What are your thoughts on a two Ref system?Far too many games are being decided by poor referee an assistant referee decisions. So much inconsistency!

One is directly related to the other. If he had the balls to make the first call (plus the sending off), he would not have had to make the "make up call."
That being said WesB only have themself to blame

I know what you said, little c**t. You can't help but to be dogmatic. I am telling you that YOU are the only one who seemed to have "seen" it to be below the shoulder and not at his shoulder as it seems that most reasonable people are waiting to see a more definitive view before making a false claim. Neither of the commentators mad a mention about it coming off his "bicep"and they have the advantage of their own monitor and a production crew to assist in bringing that to the fore. Maybe I should resort to comic book art instead of making inferences just for you.
Listen, the closest I ever see a Chelsea player come to committing the kinda tackle I described was when Bosingwa shove a man wit he foot by de corner flag a couple seasons ago.. NO Chelsea fan I know, condoned that shit!
hmmmmn... dat musse why dinho have it in he signature, because he eh cononing de foul (that wasn't called) on Benayoun.
Also, me eh getting in allyuh li'l lovers' spat, but Terry is a very good defender, prone to getting frustrated and making some very cynical tackles. He gets away with it b/c he's "England's captain" and all that nonesense. It is ridiculous to say that what he does is par for the course in English football. That said, on balance ManU fans have no business talking about cynical (or even reckless) tackles, not while Fletcher and Scholes still running out fuh dem.
Chow i dunno why you even bothering to argue with them Man U men, you better off watching Fox News to get objectivity than from them...

The competitiveness of the league is there for all to see...the last place team beat the current Champions today... it's the best league in the world at the moment... United Arsenal Chelsea are all beign tested by everyone... it's not a run away league like La Liga where every weekend its a real or barca win .. only weekend I look forward to in La Liga is when Real and Barca square off
FORZA EPL!!!

Some of the other Spanish clubs need an injection of funds to get some more parity. Madrid and Barca have the monopoly of star quality players, unlike in England where the top players are a bit more spread out...
Teams like Villarreal, Valencia and Sevilla would be serious title contenders if they had a few bigger names players...
In all honesty though, in the past 2 seasons (and so far this season as well) the gulf between Barca and Madrid has been as large as than the gulf between Madrid and the rest of the pack... It has really become a lopsided league....and it hasn't always been like that, but money is playing a bigger and bigger role in football today, as seen with teams like Man City and Chelsea...and in Spain the money doesn't seem to be spread evenly.
Give Valencia and Villareal an open checkbook like Man City and Chelsea and the battle at the top of the table would be alot more interesting.
How long before Ancelotti gets the axe?
Not saying that he's a bad manager- in fact I think he's one of the best around, but the team needs a breath of fresh air, and sometimes a change of coach is the required injection....

Kicker I see what you are saying, but Barcelona could turn around and say well we are doing it on talent developed at their club.
However, Coyle is optimistic Ricardo Gardner (knee) and Jlloyd Samuel (calf) may be back in action soon.http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/861198/coyle-claims-16-ref-errors-have-cost-bolton?cc=5901
"I would hope that Ricardo Gardner and Jlloyd Samuel will be fit by the middle of January,'' Coyle said. "They are doing little bits and pieces at the moment and they are certainly on their way back. It's been a long time for those lads so we will have to make sure that we tread warily.

GOAL CRAZY PREM
1705: I can tell you, by the way, that today is officially a record Saturday for Premier League goals, beating the 36 goals scored on 27 November. Breathtaking.
1702: And we've still got Wolves v Man Utd to come. Just... wow.
1700: A total of 33 goals we saw from our six 1500 Premier League matches. That's nearly an average of six a match. Added to our early kick-off, that makes a grand total of 38 goals in seven games. I can't get my head around it.
1658: What on earth? I mean, seriously people, what on earth have we just witnessed? Extraordinary afternoon. Utterly extraordinary.
1656: FULL-TIME Newcastle 4-4 Arsenal
1654: FULL-TIME Wigan 4-3 Blackburn

stamford bridge ent no fortress no more...i like luiz though, he will be immense for chelski.
Big win for Liverpool, albeit a bit lucky. Chelsea should definitely have had at least one penalty given in the 2nd half, especially that handball.
But given what Liverpool has been through this season, I will take all the luck my side can get.

That was never a penalty for me... the ball came at Lucas at pace from a short range and he attempted to get his arm away from its path. The ball actually grazed off his stomach before making contact with the arm... would have been very harsh to give that in my opinion. The stupid foul by Johnson is another matter.... but that's Karma, for both Padriguez' miss and for Torres' defection.
Proud of my team today... this is the kind of fight, composure and spirit that's been missing the past 18 months. Torres want to play Champions League ball, let him go chase it. We want players who want to be with the club, the rats who want to jump ship at the first sign of water over the gunwales are free to leave.
Big win for Pool...big loss for Chelsea- not a great game for the neutrals...pretty dull and scrappy.
Chelsea seems clueless with the ball, and Liverpool plays to a plan full stop.
Never thought that the Liverpool - Chelsea match up ever really provided good spectator football.

Agree. With the coaching history (Mourinho vs. Benitez) over the last four years, it has often proven to be a match oftactical acumen.
I thought the game was fairly even. Scrappy at times but good. I enjoyed it. The goal was well taken by meirles. But I blamed Cech to an extent. I thought Ivanovic could have cut the ball off but he left it for Cech, seeing he(Cech) had blasted him for a cross ball in the first half. I remember Philbert Prince saying, boom it out when in doubt.

Doh forget the two men that were ball-watching on the weak side as Meireles stormed in.
Why do the people on ESPN always have to talk about other games and scores during their live game? >:( That does really piss me off...they don't do that on FSC.
Big Up!
Torres playing like he jus realize he not playing for a bigger side! It would be poetic justice if Chelski finish outside of the top four! To quote Kevin Keegan "I would luv it"! Men like to critiszie Fergie but he got it right when he said that Chelski as a team could not improve anymore due to the age of their players and were on the down side. Only it took a year later to happen.

Men does criticize fergie because he is an arrogant, hypocritical, dog of a human being with very few redeeming qualities outside of the niche he found in english football. The criticism have nothing to do with what he said or didn't say about Chelsea so whether he got it right or wrong a year later or not, it wouldn't change people's general view of him. This year will just be another of the usual for allyuh side: win th league, get knocked out of the CL. Not the best thing for y'all self-proclaimed legacy but something to please the haters (like me) all the same.

:nailbiting: :drool: Smooches!
Blackburn vs West ham looking like the game of the day. 10 minutes to go, tied 1-1
Gotta love a relegation battle.
Everton may play a very basic game but no team is better at getting the most out of their players' talents. I have great respect for that team and their coach. Cahil does scare center backs just by his presence; he came on against City and all of a sudden City were scrabbling in the box to clear the ball. Pity the fools who have to play them at the end of the season! ;D
What is it you guys does gain from hateing another person,someone you never met or know personally,someone who can care less how you or anyone else feels,you all does just be eating up yourselves for no reason,the thing is life goes on regardless of how anyone feels.Torres playing like he jus realize he not playing for a bigger side!

Will miss seeing the puppet master, Song in the midfield for Arsenal. NOW that team is really not the same.
Demba Ba's goal. . .what a beauty
City is looking very flat and complacent so far. The newly promoted Southampton are leading the champions 2-1 to some very well taken goals.boy SH eh come to lay dong everybody need to take note
It hard to be a City supporter jed. Dey like tuh do tings "D" hard way.me eh cater bout dem but dey brand nice...ent goh shed a tear when loss doh especially if it help my team........goh always want dem to bore manu doh...dat goes without sayin
City not winning it this year.

Underestimate us at your own risk. The title is ours this season.nobody underestimatin atleast not me...I jus like to throw jabs :angel: :angel:
Once again Chelsea (and Torres) benefit from a dubious call. Phil f**king Dowd again... king of the soft penalty decisions.
City vs QPR.
It is amazing to me that Sean Wright Phillips still is in the EPL and starts games. He stilll does the same shite he has been doing a good 6 years now. He hasn't grown any, has lost speed, still dribbling the ball out of bounds and losing the ball tryin the same lame dribbles. Still frustrating tuh watch. What does he bring to a side? His father must have pictures of Mark Hughes or something.
Lord knows also how Rob Greene still have a job.

Listen, the neville brothers hadusy'all all fooled for YEARS passin' themselves orff as "footballers".....and STILL do....neither one ah dem have SWP skills....so if dem coulda play in this league, who is he?
Saw this on Yahoo live text of the Newcastle v Aston Villa game today:
" Ciaran Clark scores Villa's 46th Premier League goal by an Irishman, overtaking Wales's 45 goals for the club. Of all non-English nationalities scoring for Villa only Trinidad & Tobago have more - 62.
Ref is having a mightmare, in this Everton vs NUFC game.
WTF wrong these Americans on FSC? So Fredel eh start the match and the man asking the next American "what bothers you most about that decision?" Really? No wonder yuh still cah take dem serious! Ah notice he aint ask Warren the Englishman!
Lol @ torres soft drop. Referee angle looked like a dive. Look 50/50 to me.
Lol @ torres soft drop. Referee angle looked like a dive. Look 50/50 to me.
50/50 is when two players make equal attempts and get equal leverage or footing at a ball....not one man makin' contact with the other.

Didn't mean contact, I meant the decision. It Could of gone either way. From the ref angle it looked like dive. But it was a brave call to make. I would have kept my whistle in my hand.
All the top sides show they can score, but each backline suspect. So ah think the winner of the league will be the side who's defense improves the most by the end of the season.
EPL top teams have been shite this season! I would be very surprise if any progress far this year, including my beloved United.

Kenwyne Jones, Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gareth Bale, Alan Shearer... can anyone guess what these players all have in common?

Arsenal show some bottle today, in a very physical game. Arguably Sagna best game of the season, and he did it as a central defender (which he played before in France). Cazzola was magnifique and if it were not for poor finishing from Cazzola, Diaby, Giroud and Walcott, it could have been a bigger score. Plenty of drama as, Wilshire got injured & Jenkinson got a red card. Sunderland started launching skuds and Matasaka & Sagna battle for everything in the air.
Still find Diaby and Ramsey give the ball away, way too often in crucial areas of the field.
Good match from two very contrasting styles

I really felt for the sacked Southampton Manager. However, the game has to go on and this new Managers have them knocking some sweet ball. Dam! Which team cost a Billion again? Mancini made some questionable subs, but who am I to say so. Well done Saints.

“Over the past 20 years Gus has cemented himself as an iconic American sports broadcaster, and we’re thrilled to welcome his style to the world soccer stage,” said David Nathanson, Executive Vice President and General Manager of FOX Soccer. “Gus has spent the last year-and-a-half getting ready to call what is a new sport for him, and I applaud the work, study and time he’s devoted to his preparation. He respects how passionate and knowledgeable the soccer fan is, and while his education continues, he’s ready to lend his classic American voice to the world’s biggest sport.”
Since accepting this new challenge, Johnson has tapped several resources in his effort to learn as much as possible in such a short period of time. He called over a dozen MLS games on radio, mostly those of the San Jose Earthquakes; he has played pick-up soccer games in a park near his Manhattan home; spent several weeks in Europe last season attending games and conversing at length with Sky Sports executives and world-class football play-by-play announcer Martin Tyler. In Madrid, Johnson is partnering with FOX Soccer analyst Warren Barton, who in his playing days appeared in more than 300 Premier League matches. Barton, along with former players Eric Wynalda and Cobi Jones have aided Johnson tremendously in his soccer broadcasting education, collaborating with him on numerous practice telecasts under the tutelage of FOX Soccer Executive Producer Jonty Whitehead.
“No doubt that the followers of this sport are among the most passionate, knowledgeable fans in the world, and I’m a newcomer,” said Johnson. “The effort to learn the sport and absorb its nuance has been a humbling experience. While I’ve put a lot of time into my preparation thus far, it’s definitely going to take a lot of reps before I’ve mastered soccer’s rhythm and pace, but I am determined to do so, and with all the support I’m receiving I have no doubt that I will.”

Laudrap say he doesn't want to manage a big team because they to quick tuh fire managers. He doesn't want to invest a lot of time and effort into doing the job and just like that get fired. To be seen if his actions support those words.

4- 0. Dyer dissing Deguzman for a penalty. He wants to take so he can get a hat trick. Deguzman adamant he should take it. And he scored. Dyer cussin' the man. I understand competitiveness. But he bordering on being unprofessional. Other than that Dyer is having a fantastic game.

And if he realize that as a commentator, he need tuh actually describe the play as it playing out instead of trailing off. Oh and please remind him that the majority if his audience not deaf! ;)
Can the annoucers give the teammate some credit for threading that pass tuh Bale? Damn boy! Arsenal will never win a trophy until the learn how tuh defend properly.

.....anybody see the tackle that a Wigan player ress on a Newcastle man today.....and only get away with a yellow card?! Really?! I always say, for what the English league purports itself to be (the best league in the world...allegedly) relatively, the officiating has to be among the worst in EuropeHe didn't get a yellow card. A Newcastle player run across the ref line of sight, so he didn't even see it. So the fact that no call was made leaves it open for the FA to review it and issue a retrospective ban.

Was watching that game. It wasn't intentional. Just a over-excited youthman in his first ever Prem game going for the ball like a wildman.
...and the robbery continues. 30' minute... goalie comes out and blocks the ball with his torso, his arms were up and the ball may have nestled into his arm pit. Ref rules hand ball and straight red, Norwich down to 10 men. Ten mins later Bassong chests a ball in the area... it may have then rolled onto his left bicep... may have. Didn't seem like it did. Penalty for Sunderland. Fast forward to the 70' and Danny Rose clearly (though inadvertently) handles inside the box on the defensive left side. It was near the edge of the box, but inside. Ref bizarrely rules free kick outside the box. Not one of Chris Foy's better days.
bakes that was hard for anyone to see in real time. My first thought was hand ball & slow motion indicates that the ball did make contact under his arm. The second one on Bassong was harsh.
Suarez is a born cheater! Ah wonder if he was premature?

Benteke has been said (statistically supported) to be the most useful player to his team across the EPL.
Martinez gone: relegation or not. Everton coming in for him. Mancini could be gone too, although not by choice. Pellegrini or Rafa is the rumor.
Ah don't think Man City would take that kind of risk with Martinez. They basically going after big names, hoping that big name players will follow. Right now, they willing to buy their way to top. Martinez would be a good fit for Everton, as they have a patient chairman.

The words "Mark Hughes", "Manager" and your club name should strike fear into the hearts of Stoke supporters. Besides the one breakaway so far, this is Liverpool sitting in front of Stoke's area trying to score.

Stoke is pushing Man City hard. Hughes, like he still vex he get fired.I ain't watching, but I read that KJ had a miss. Was it bad or just a 'could've done better'?
They have had some good looks at goal.

Ah ok. Thanks.Stoke is pushing Man City hard. Hughes, like he still vex he get fired.I ain't watching, but I read that KJ had a miss. Was it bad or just a 'could've done better'?

He nip the ball off Nasri who was dawdling in the back but then put his shot too close to Joe Hart trying to go far post.
KJ having a time with that Man City defence, rell rough up. First touch en looking too bad, just needs a goal which will come soon if Stoke continue dominating (yea Stoke dominating) :beermug:. Crouch on d bench biting he lip
Ah backing Arsenal but, objectively, Sunderland get tief.Especially with d Altidore goal which was "cleared". What about goal line technology with the vibrating watch when the ball crosses the line. I am sure it was over

It was over the line but the referee had already blown the play dead. He did not extend he advantage which was a shame
In the replay it seems to me that he blow a couple for an extended time for them to stop. Also, in one of the alternate angles yuh could see the ref put the whistle to mouth while they still tussling and when Altidore break free the was already running to the spot signalling for a free kick. This is not American football where the ref could flag a play and then cancel the infraction if yuh score on the same play.
If he going to play advantage, he has to signal that so everyone is aware and playing to that. However once he blow the whistle play supposed to stop. In this case the ref didn't call advantage, he blow the whistle.
Palace played too many voluntary/needless/unambitious negative passes during the course of the game. They fell on the sword they sharpened. There was a way out of that specific situation (in the lead up to the goal) defensively other than playing the ball negatively.
Dikagcoi was forced into remedying a bad situation and unsurprisingly suffered for it.
(How is this situation different from a basketballer drawing a foul?)
What Mourinho doin boy. He will take the win but Chelsea look unimpressive in this game. Fulham defending well for the most part though.for d life of me i can't see how mata cyah start ....even if he doh press

f**ksome ppl does be glad to get one..you now get 2... Niiccceee
Game done?same thing I asked when we bought him, this is in regards to the Fellaini question.
What is Fellaini purpose?
Smalling is just barely above water.
Ashley Young needs to move further up the field, you can't dive for a penalty if you not in the box.
Rooney is dropping too deep, and city isn't at all concerned about wellbeck.
Good win city, we deserved that ass wash. Moyes was a goat tonight, go buy the rest of Everton now!!
We were outplayed by WBA at home. Unacceptable!! This club is too big for a mediocre manager!!Good win city, we deserved that ass wash. Moyes was a goat tonight, go buy the rest of Everton now!!
I am also skeptical of Moyes, but we have to give him time to adapt. It was a bad game overall, but the season is still early and some inconsistent play should be expected.

Allyuh men is EPL players? Oh gosh man, all I want is a decent pass - to your own teammate!

The whole team was poor. This on the back of players talking in the media all week about their love for Hughes playing style etc.
KJ wasn't bad at all. the team was hapless. Defenders making all kinda shit passes, midfield grossly ineffective. Pennant provided a spark and may have put something where KJ could head it if KJ wasn't taken off. That was one of those games where the defenders needed to launch it up to KJ so he could knock down for a teamate and build in their opponent half because the seem to have no clue how to build from the back in that game.Did see it in the previous games..what surprised me was how well Norwich planned and excuted based on that observation...
I think Stoke gone to far left, with the knock. Now they ain't bringing no air cross at all.not playing to KJ strength...not that he not strong in the knock, but the knock is not where he will dominate opposing defenders. Walters have shares in this team?
Almost gone from a one dimensional team to a different one dimensional team

And Hughes just stuck with it right thru, could have changed it up at the half..
On the positive side, they will get very good at it eventually, if they don't fall into the relegation zone before..
Two great strikes by Fulham, but I still have to give Wilshere goal the edge. So many things happen there.

Feel kinda bad for him, reputation in tatters now. There'll still be room for him in the Prem but I don't see him getting another top-flight opportunity anytime soon. One also has to wonder whether his age and lack of playing experience costing him any respect in the locker room. On a veteran team like Chelsea I could see that, but Spurs not that old and more importantly, haven't won shit. It begs the question though.
Well his interpersonal skills and general man management off the pitch is questionable. At Chelsea he polarized himself by ostracizing Nico who was one of the players everyone on the team loved as well as Alex even banning them from attending the Christmas party. After that his fate was sealed because not only was his tactics not suited to the personnel on the pitch but he was a total asshole off it. This ensured that the players would not give their all for him which naturally affects results. Don't know what happened at Spurs but I find it hard to understand their poor play and goal ratio. I doh ever feel sorry fuh millionaires that get fired nah lol. He will get another job at lower level clubs for sure if he decide to take it, but that big club scenes dead now. He might be on the shelf like DiMateo for a bit. Imagine if they offer DiMateo the job and he rights the ship (for a second time). Not only would that give RDM much more credibility and clout to attract big jobs but it would totally relegate AVB to the role of posturer and would likely destroy whatever shred of benefit his time at Porto helped to achieve.
would love to see him come to Spurs and succeed... if only to spit in Roman eye lol
From what i've read Villas-Boas is an excellent tactician but a poor man manager and if so, he will continue to struggle with top tier teams. Will make an excellent assistant coach though.
This AVB sacking did not rest on man management issues.
Why Tottenham didn't bring Chris Hughton back? Anyone know if they consider him?

I don't think anyone said it did. there is the possiblity however, that it may have played an inderect role as it would have the consequence of affecting team performance. Despite that high defensive line he loves and how it exposes the defense, the lack of scoring was glaring.

asy why yuh ignore the most key sentence fella? "Don't know what happened at Spurs but I find it hard to understand their poor play and goal ratio."
This whole scenes rell funny because despite the (-1) attrotious goal differential they are only 2 points removed from a champions league spot. Outside of that they aren't in a bad position and was not in any real jeapordy of not being able to compete for a top 4 finish at the time of AVBs dismissal. Levy is ah asshole doh so I hope they sink to about 9th place so they doh even get Europa as a consolation lol

Pardna, I eh ignore nutten.:beermug: Like yuh eh make out that sentence is highlighted in my post. And, I highlighted it in its entirety because it pointed back to you musing about man management and personnel discontent as a contributing factor to "their poor play and goal ratio".
Detaching or underlining the phrase isn't gehhin to what you were communicating in full.
Roberto Martinez ..........Everton playin some nice ball, and showin dey self to be contenders dis season..............seems like he finally found a good fit after Swansea .........to come from fightin relegation one season with one side to being in contention for a CL spot or even challengin for d prem is a hell of a feet............incredible :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:
edit: makes one wonder even harder bout moyes though
nah bakes mih point is..................while everton held their own through moyes 11 or so years they were never really "up there" and even if yuh want to argue personnel, moyes had freedom to build he team same way.
nah bakes mih point is..................while everton held their own through moyes 11 or so years they were never really "up there" and even if yuh want to argue personnel, moyes had freedom to build he team same way.
How could your point be about them never really being "up there" when is Moyes yuh specifically talking about? That is a veiled, if not direct shot at his achievements compared to Martinez'. As for him having the "freedom to build he team same way," where you get that from? Allyuh now start to watch Everton or what? Moyes was always working with little, yuh can't have freedom to build if yuh doh have money to buy. Here's Everton's gross outlay in the transfer market the last five years under Moyes:
2008/09- €25.076.000
2009/10- €23.300.000
2010/11- €1.700.000
2011/12- €7.200.000
2012/13- €21.650.000
This season under Martinez they've already spent €31.800.000, and that's just half a season, not counting any activity to come here in January.
So in one summer they've spent more money for Martinez than they've spent in the last 5 years under Moyes. I always like to read these criticism of Moyes, it just shows how unfamiliar people are with the job he did keeping Everton competitive against stacked odds.
ok.....so....everton has new owners\investors then, that came in after moyes and giving martinez more resources ??? ......and I am not trying to belittle d man achievements but the difference is amazing....really really amazing

Same owners... they just wasn't serious about spending money to improve the club. These jokers thought getting Donovan was a coup. I have tremendous respect for Moyes, separate from anything he's doing at United. The man is a good tactical manager, but he knew he never had the horses for a title run, so he relied on a solide defense and a cautious approach in attack. He still hasn't abandoned that policy, maybe due to personality... maybe because he recognizes the lack of quality in the squad. I dunno, I'll leave that to those who have expertise in dem kinda things.

Sacking Laudrup is craziness.
Sacking Laudrup is craziness.
Swansea's position on the table is deceptive. They've managed to scramble some points here and there but they've been performing terribly ever since the second half of last season. Their general form in that period is among the worst in the league.
Laudrup has been falling out with players, falling out with the chairman. There is a serious lack of harmony behind the scenes and, from what I can tell, Laudrup might be the culprit. I guess they decided to stop the bleeding somehow and see if they could hold strain until next season.

Supposedly, the last straw that broke the camel's back was Laudrup giving the players two days off after last weekend's loss and jetting off to Paris for a holiday. They say no rules exist at the club: man drinking for most of their summer trips, no curfew, nothing. He look like he signed off long time, and was just waiting for the axe. I could see him at Spurs though.
“He was right on top of me and I wanted to just ease him away from me but obviously I put my head in a forward motion," Pardew said of jostling with Meyler. "I want to apologize to him, everyone at Hull and obviously my own fans as well. ... I don't think it was a head butt. It wasn't a motion that was quick.”

Absolutely terrible decisions by the ref. Almost all his major call were delayed. This game was being called from the stands. Say what you want.

The Willian sending off was jokey but Ramires was begging for what he get.
Man United should be down to 8 players. Felliani, Wellbeck and Mr. Nasty/don't care/FA boy/Rooney gets away with an absolutely stink tackle from behind and not even a card. Half time they did not even mention or show Rooney tackle in the studio. Balotelli would have been looking at a 3 game ban.
Yaya Toure is easily the best all-round player in the world. :applause:Soooo that would make him the best player in the world??? :-\
Yeah, we can double date with with you and Suarez. :-*
I wanted Chelsea to keep the pressure on City. Damn fools how yuh go destroy Arsenal then lose to Palace?

Yaya is the absolute best. There's no two ways about it.
It was good. Chelsea weren't really committed. Palace was up for it and gave it a go. 0-0/1-1 would have been a fair result.
but that is how it does go, they look decent and then let in 3 goals
Fulham on paper is 'too good to go down'. And yet...but that is how it does go, they look decent and then let in 3 goals
Like I was saying...

Nah, Palace deserve that win over Chelsea man elan. They hit the post late, had two shots go just wide... not counting the fact that Cahill should have been sent off and Cardiff awarded a penalty in the first half when he take down Bolasie in the box... clear penalty. Lee Mason keep yuh team in the game with some ah dem calls.
Fulham don't look anything like a bottom-3 side right now. (but that is how it does go, they look decent and then let in 3 goals)
The colour commentator on tv ent giving nobody a bligh, if yuh ent make the play, he calling it.
Also, what is the likihood of 2 people named Moussa Dembele playing in the EPL? Maybe that is the equivalent of "John Smith"

Lamela's absence has been one of the more disappointing things about this season to me.
http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/story/tottenham-boss-sherwood-dismisses-rumor-of-lamela-return-041714
There is "no chance" of club-record signing Erik Lamela featuring for Tottenham before the season is out, according to head coach Tim Sherwood.
Billed as Spurs' ready-made replacement for Gareth Bale, the 22-year-old's summer arrival for £30million ($50.45million) was greeted by excitement at White Hart Lane.
However, Lamela has so far been a huge disappointment in north London, managing just three Barclays Premier League starts in a debut season blighted by injury.
A report on Thursday suggested the Argentina international will return to training next week after his latest complaint and that head coach Sherwood is under pressure to give him a run-out before the season is out.
The Spurs head coach recently stated that Lamela would not be available this season due to a back complaint and was bemused by the latest speculation.
"There'll be no chance Erik's fit," Sherwood said. "I read in the paper, or someone told me, that the hierarchy here are asking for him to get more opportunities.
"Chance would be a fine thing, he's injured."
That news will no doubt frustrate Tottenham supporters, who have not seen Lamelain action since he came off the bench against Stoke on December 29.
I'm watching Fulham - Spurs... and wondering why.

0-0 at 60 minutes.

Liverpool need a stumble and an American Samoa type scoreline to win the title.
Realistically, Liverpool can only win the title if City lose its final game of the season and the Reds win.
If City wins, it will be deserving winners, as the sky blues have the better defensive record.
A Liverpool win in its final game will guarantee a second place finish.
Considering that the Reds are already 19 points better and 28 goals (in the "goals for" column), I am proud of their performance.
However, I can only imagine how devastated the Liverpool players must feel.
The manner in which Liverpool collapsed can either strengthen its resolve to mount a new challenge or result in an emotional letdown culminating in a disappointing finish next season.
Time will tell...
In the meantime, Mr. Rogers better start looking for some defenders and defensive midfielders.
Maybe Man U to see if they can make Europa League?
Somebody need to check Ameobi's bank account. WTF was that?

I think that is a false narrative. The Chelsea game was always going to be tough, especially with the way Mourinho sets up for away games. Let's not forget that City also lost to Chelsea at the Etihad.
Because of the goal difference, and the games in hand, they had to go for it vs Palace. Liverpool lost the league before Christmas, or rather, they surged after Christmas, but couldn't pull ahead.
For 2014:

Bitter that's all :bs: Liverpool went about the end on a high and bought into the hype and got carried away. Rodgers showed his amateurism vs Chelsea and then again vs Palace. They had to go for it vs Palace, they did and had it. Then they got their school boy game on.
All Liverpool had to worry about was the League and they couldn't finish that off. They had all week to plan for 1 game on the weekend and the times it mattered they got it very wrong.

What was the "amateurism" he showed against Chelsea?
Against Palace? You said we had to go for "it" and "had it"... what is this "it"? Because we never had the goal differential made up.
The psychological approach to playing against Chelsea, that was amateur. Look at the 2 goals that Chelsea scored and figure out why those goals came about the way it did. Gerard slip was just a slip. You ever stopped to think why Ba was on spot immediately to open up the gift? What about the 2nd goal, ever stop to think why it happened the way it did?
I like how pool play bakes...........but d approach to defensive position and cover was more than a little bit naive........pool could could blitz most teams in attack given d opportunity but...yuh could almost always see room for quick counter ....just check alyuh GA............ah dose ah pragmatism wouldn't hurt 'pool.....an I'sa fellas who feel jose could loosen up plenty and let chelsea express deyself lil bit.

What about the "psychological approach"? What was that psychological approach... and why was it 'amateur'? As for the two goals... the first goal came about as the result of an error. Ba was at midfield when he intercepted the pass... where else would a retreating striker be? Better yet, you tell me why Ba was where he was and why his positioning and Gerrard's error reveal's Rodgers' "amateurism"?
There's no need to discuss the second goal, patently ridiculous to try to claim that is proof of "amateurism". Willian scored the second goal in the 90+ when Liverpool was pressing for an equalizer. Is it your position that Liverpool should NOT have thrown caution to the wind in added time? They shoulda play more pragmatic with time running out and needing a goal? That is "amateurism"?
How was his "amateurism" showed against Palace? How did Liverpool get "carried away"?I like how pool play bakes...........but d approach to defensive position and cover was more than a little bit naive........pool could could blitz most teams in attack given d opportunity but...yuh could almost always see room for quick counter ....just check alyuh GA............ah dose ah pragmatism wouldn't hurt 'pool.....an I'sa fellas who feel jose could loosen up plenty and let chelsea express deyself lil bit.
Liverpool defense needs to improve... nobody arguing with that. Since yuh addressing me, I assume it's in response to my question... so again, how was Rodgers' "amateurism" exposed against Chelsea and Palace?
TheBitter that's all :bs: Liverpool went about the end on a high and bought into the hype and got carried away. Rodgers showed his amateurism vs Chelsea and then again vs Palace. They had to go for it vs Palace, they did and had it. Then they got their school boy game on.
All Liverpool had to worry about was the League and they couldn't finish that off. They had all week to plan for 1 game on the weekend and the times it mattered they got it very wrong.
So did Man City losing to Chelsea at home also mean that Mancini showed his amateurism?
The only reason you have a problem with Rogers now is because he couldn't get 3 more points. The whole of 2014 Liverpool playing one way, it was working. If they had played conservative vs Chelsea and lose, you would say that they feel the pressure. If they had shut up shop vs Palace after 3-0, and lose on goal difference, you would complain that they don't have a killer instinct, or some such thing. Rogers only sin is not winning the league.
1st half of the season:
Liverpool: 36 Points
Man City: 41 Points
Chelsea: 40 Points
Arsenal: 42 Points
2nd Half of the season:
Liverpool: 48 Points
Man City: 45 Points
Chelsea: 42 Points
Arsenal: 37 Points
Difference between 1st half and 2nd half of season:
Liverpool +12
Man City +4
Chelsea: +2
Arsenal: -5

QPR vs Derby on now in the playoff final at Wembley.
Lol, call him up!
Right now, both of these sides looking like prime candidates for immediate relegation.
He played left back as emergency actually. Plays left wing now. QPR will be strong in the Prem next year. Lampard probably signing as a free agent. ANd Harry always like Khaleem ;DRight now, both of these sides looking like prime candidates for immediate relegation.
if QPR persists with Traore they will leak goals like a sieve..that fella is a jokey defender boy

Talk is some teams are toying with playing 3-5-2 as the swag system this season.
It's been on my mind for sometime as a possibility I'd like to see us investigate. Question is who would be the wide men in that system?Talk is some teams are toying with playing 3-5-2 as the swag system this season.
if it work ah wonder what people reaction here would be as opposed to when pacho saw its potential as our system......I have a friend dat coach youth football a while back........that swears that 3-5-2 should be T&Ts main system..........I remember man crying it dong and callin it all kinda dead system and f**keries.....conformist and followers that we are.......would be interesting to hear dey mout' if it proves to be a hit
To me Formations are overated. Some body HAVE to DEFEND and some have to attack.I would tend to agree, however, I think you're oversimplifying things.

A formation is a "thing'' on paper. A system of play is/should be more than that. Moreover, frequently terms are conflated and fans don't distinguish between 'system' and 'shape'.

I imagine yuh comforted by Chelsea 2 Real Sociedad 0 ... and the fact iz Burnley.
Gotta say that I admire how Swansea is insistent on playing attractive football. It is in their DNA.
Stoke's bus was well appointed.
Newcastle-Palace = Match of the day
Bullocks to the EPL - if only people talked up and was this excited about we local league- but like true to form we always had a tendency to see foreign as better and to downgrade we local
Yuh funnier than I thought- EPL is not crap and I could smell the satirical note - my contention is that we doh give the same credence to promote our own league- we doh look and talk about our local players to the degree that we do to the foreign ballets in my opinion, we idolize the EPL like these players are 'gods' of football
Used to be come match day forum would be humming. Cracker between City and Arsenal earlier... and a good match on now between Swansea and Chelsea. Liverpool at Villa later.
Check Villa schedule: just played Liverpool, then Arsenal (H), Chelsea (A), Man City (H)and Everton (A)
So how much Sunderland got for throwing the game?
Liverpool gotta buy Berahino...this youth been doing it the last three seasons. Suits our style of play too. He will be on to a bigger club by next summer at the latest. Knowing Spurs, they might come in for him in January, cause they need a striker.
So how much Sunderland got for throwing the game?
lol...trying to recall the last time ah team collect 8 in the EPL. Was it Bolton against Man U. Allardyce get fired after that.
Outta road now, so ah doh know what happened subsequently , but de Hammers were balling! for the 30 minute portion I saw during the first half. Mancini had one of Wenger's furrowed looks.

Yeah because nobody couldn't tell that the sending off is what change de game nah, steups! I does wonder about you oui. You sure yuh is an actual Chelsea fan? That game was pull and tug all the way. Despite being biased I think many will concede we were the stronger team, yet we weren't penetrating enough or getting enough shots to bury them. They, despite getting more shots were having their own difficulties as well. So considering how the flow was going why not add more defensive help in attempts to secure the win? You always going on and on with this same broken record bullshit. If JoMo style doh suit yuh find ah nex team and stop fackin b!tchin nah. Steups

All ah allyuh who sayin de same thing is assholes in my book because contrary to allyuh claims on more than one ocassion Mikel was way past half line passing the ball. So he wasn't in a static role as in years past. In fact in all the games he has been inserted thus far he has had numerous forrays into areas near the 18. Jose actually trusts Mikel to do more than sit solely in front of the back line. If allyuh was paying attention you would notice that. Instead allyuh feel is gloom and doom because Mikel inserted as that means close up shop. It actually means more steel in the middle but still with an eye on attack. You feel we losing something when Oscar comes off and Fabregas move into the number 10 position. Stop seein things so linear, I expect non Chelsea fans to miss these subtle changes not people who claiming to be fans and supposedly always watching the team. He bring on Mikel with 23 minutes left. The way you carryin on you'd swear he insert Mikel at halftime or right after we score and say "awrite I good dey." If Jose was approching this game with any caution whatsoever he would have probably started both Mikel and Matic. This was never about being cautious as much as it was about being pragmatic. Jose realize we gettin chances but they getting a lot more so he insert an additional obstacle to them knocking the ball around midfield. Wha de ass so hard to understand and accept in dat?

let's get someting clear hear, I doh tink d introduction of mikel spells doom and gloom........but d drop in tempo does be glaring.....and I understand full well that he is following instructions.........but why does chelsea's willingness to attack have drop off, d man could be solid and still keep things going forward......he did it at everton...sick assist dat....my grouse it not about mikel........it''s about protecting weak leads with cynical tactics .......off late it eh wukkin.....as simple as dat.....we coulda try harder for second goal, even when mikel come on... d man could do d job.....steups
play dead ketch corbeaux alive...not just play dead
That tackle on Balo should gave been a straight red. He did not even try to go for the ball, just hack Balo down. Not good.
Saw the replay. Didn't see it in full flow. Was gehhin ready to bounce.
Balo wasn't any where near a danger zone, was he? ... to merit that kinda temporary insanity defending.

Southampton is the real deal, the #2, 3 and 4 ranked defenders in fantasy are Soton players. Can't read too much into fantasy stats, but the scores (and those of the midfield players) tell you that the team is defending extremely well as a unit. That is always a recipe for success. Additionally, I'm tempted to think that there's just something about their philosophy which gets the best out of their players. Lovren, Lallana, Shaw and Chambers all look like ordinary players now. Meanwhile Clyne, Schneiderlin, Tadic, Mane and Pelle are all having career years.
Southampton has always been a decent club in my view. Just like Sevilla... Always end up selling their prospects to the big clubs.. Yet still retain competitiveness and keep churning out more
Eh, that 1st half in the QPRvCity game was madness.

Zamora had Demichelis in knots on that cross.
Bachanal this game.
What!!!!!!!!!!!!! This forum have to be drunk. Liverpool beat Swansea and not an iota of comment? Pool fans, allyuh is macajuel now. All that food and liquor put allyuh to sleep!!!!
I don't know what went on with that red card, but the ref make this game real boring.
Pulis have no problems dropping everybody into the box.
Navas must have some dirt on Pellegrini, his wide play and crosses are terrible.
Newcastle scored a beautiful goal on the Gunners. But Arsenal holding on 2-1.
The build up for Newcastle goal was absolutely delightful. Bakes, you are correct that Newcastle were unfortunate not to get a point from their endeavor today.Arsenal lost the midfield battle in the second half but were equally unfortunate not to be out of sight by half time, slicing through Newcastle at will late in the first.
Game ends QPR 3 - Benteke 3. With another great goal to cap off a weekend of great goals.For a team in a relegation battle, QPR don't play bad at all. It's actually surprising to see them at the bottom of the table.
Leicester and Nigel Pearson have spurned each other. Thanks for keeping us up, but no thanks ... we doh need you and your 'vision going forward'. The club's statement referred to "fundamental differences in perspective".
That places Leicester looking for a manager with roughly 35 days before kick-off. Not ideal. Nor entirely promising.
Where will Pearson resurface?

Premier League 2015-16 preview: Arsenal
By Amy Lawrence (The Guardian, UK).
... A good start has been drummed into the players, particularly as they began sluggishly last time, with a load of draws that had them playing catch-up.
...
Give me some old rope and I’ll find you an Arsenal season ticket. That was, as comedowns in north London go, among the most spectacular in a long list and all the more so because Petr Cech, cited by many as the finishing touch to Arsenal’s well oiled machine, did himself absolutely no favour there. Glaringly at fault for the first and complicit in a chain of errors for Zarate’s opportunistic second, his performance was a considerable factor in West Ham’s win although you have to give Slaven Bilic and his men big credit.
Yes, you do. From the first couple of minutes it was clear that they would get on the ball and get men forward when they could and, while they spent a couple of periods under the cosh, they generally played with a sense of authority that you’d have been forgiven for thinking was beyond them. Arsenal, who seemed flustered and hurried in possession, created a number of half-chances but rarely got behind a team superbly marshalled by Winston Reid and bolstered by a remarkably mature display by the 16-year-old Reece Oxford. Most of us underestimated West Ham today but the manner of their performance suggested the win was no accident.
As for Arsenal, they’ll go again at Palace next week. It’s just one defeat, just one blip in what has been a positive year, and there is plenty of time for them to go on the title charge many expect. But there will be alarm bells that, regardless of personnel, the same errors keep repeating themselves at inopportune moments. It seems systemic and needs to be cut out if they’re to get to the next level.

Even if Chelsea leaves West Brom with 3 points, piercing questions still have to be asked of them.
It's good to see Rondón having an influence in this game. His acquisition by WBA raised an eyebrow bc it's wasn't (and still isn't) clear how compatible he is with Pulis, but I hope he makes solid progress in the Prem.

Great to see a club with Palace's legacy, going toe to toe with City. Just seeing de old school dread in de stands was heartwarming.
Deeks, ent Palace is a kind of "community team" with an intimate ground that you could vibe?

Well, there it is: the Fenway boss call de shot. Prepare for Klopp. He thinks Dortmund and Liverpool have several things in common. Ah not buying Ancelotti at Liverpool, but maybe that's what's selling. Or, maybe he could repeat at Chelsea? Either way, Wenger safe. Hecould evenwill linger beyond van Gaal's departure. :devil:

Fixed it for you. ;D
It is a combinations of many things happening. They are the champions and everybody wants to wear their crown. Unlike last year when they won about 8 straight, all teams are ready for them this time around. They were unlucky to lose some of these games this year. But last year they were lucky to win some of their games too. Some injuries. But every team has that.
I really want to see if he will last out the season. You know when things appear to be a on a downward trend, JM does walk. Let's see if he is " man enough" to stay the course. But all of this is mere speculation that Russian will fire him. If they can't accept the "downs" in football, then they should not be into it.
More high scoring matches this term than in recent seasons? Just this weekend City v Bournemouth and Newcastle v Norwich. Not to mention the very same City v the very same Newcastle. Plus Spurs demolished City a few weeks back. Will we witness a goal-record season?
Klopp's press conference was sober and hilarious at the same time. Says if you want, call me "the normal one". Also told the English press "I heard a lot about you before I came here. Prove to me that they (his sources) are liars." :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Missed the Manchester derby. Good game?To be fair City dominated most of the game controlling most of the possession having 26 shots. The sad thing was only 3 were on target as opposed to ManU having 5 shots with 4 on target. It wasn't end to end action by no means, City allowed this one to slip.

Man city missing de bruyne bad. Silva and moreso navas are predictable nowadays. For all their possession they didn't make many good chances. They rely too much on Aguero's brilliance. Yaya struggles in attack when they crowd him.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/04/07/bob-wilsons-guide-to-stopping-a-dimitri-payet-free-kick/
Aguero missed a great chance and made a bad pass in the dying moments when he could have made a difference.
Bony came on and struggled.
Demichelis went in like a rookie and Rashford skipped past and finished like a veteran.
Plus Hart and sterling came off injured, and in the cl last week kompany and otamendi were injured. So problems for city in the season run in. Man u and west ham could pass them for the 4th spot.
I kinda backing west ham cuz I real like how Payet playin. West ham will have to come good to hold on to him I think

Pogba looked every penny of the $5.36 cents they paid for himMou playing Pogba too deep. He is stifling the man.
Is John Stones for City English? Good attacking for a center back.
Stunning that the Gunners did not drop 3 points today. Seemed the perfect occasion for them to stick to the script.
In July, an American consortium led by Steve Kaplan and Jason Levien bought a controlling stake in Swansea. Landon Donovan, a U.S. international during Bradley's tenure, is also a shareholder.
Repent allyuh!
Navas putting in good crosses. :devil: :devil:

D other contenders real drop points and lackin consistency these days, to loose to arsenal and pool and still end up 3 points clear at d top tells a story all by itself.I was about to turn off this game. "No way Liverpool giving up a 3-1 lead"

If City, et al. let da gap widen it will be extremely difficult to catch us. City squander rell chances, but dat is football. When yuh get chances and waste them yuh set yuhself up to be punished by your opponent. Costa was ah beast and Fabs make some passes dey, lawd fadda!! Yuh could see where his inclusion brought more pressure on Alonso but the vision is hard to give up. I really torn between him and Matic starting. Kante like bestcrete because he done cement heself in de starting lineup.
Southhampton vs Bournemouth. Absolutely brilliant goal by Rodriguez for Southhampton. 3-1 Southies.
Bob Bradley fired from Swansea. Maybe TTFA can hire him after they terminate Saintfiet.

This Spurs-Chelsea game in Wembley is like a cup final.
They had to do it the hard way, missing key personnel against the team that chased them harder than anyone to that title success. Yet the aberration against Burnley feels almost freakish given the story of this follow-up win and the strength of personality shown by a newly assembled and experimental side. Another team might have wilted after Michy Batshuayi, one of Chelsea’s second-half substitutes, had headed in the own-goal that provided Spurs with an 82nd-minute equaliser but not Chelsea. The decisive goal, Marcos Alonso’s second of the afternoon, was a personal ordeal for Hugo Lloris in the Spurs goal but what does it say about Chelsea that they could recover from Batshuayi’s misfortune to conjure up a winner in the 88th minute?

Mané was entitled to go for that ball. His eyes were entirely on the ball. Similar situations have been ruled otherwise.

Yeh, but he boots de man in he face.
Kun Aguero scored his 124th goal. The goal put him past Dwight Yorke as having scored more goals than any player in the league not from Europe.Dwight held on to that record for about 15 yrs...not bad
Is it I don't know the off-side rules. Yesterday Aubameyang scored a goal, and I swore he was a mile off-side. Then today Spurs got 2 penalties. Kane missed the first. But they look kind of soft. No disrespect to the Spurs fans.

I should add, it's 2-1 at 90' ;D.

Otamendi cyatspraddle all over the field for the last goal.
Textbook case of a GK being the villain. Leno opened the door to mashing up Arteta's three points from an unconvincing Chelsea. Steups.woohooo!!! ;D
Didn't see Chelsea today. Any better?inconsistency continues, their nerves comes and goes, but usually dais not ah issue away, not today though they faltered a bit pressed well but didn't urn it into more goals then Brighton grew into it and equalized. to be fair dat bicycle ketch everybody
Newcastle set to become the Premier League titan they have long threatened to be
Ryan Bailey
Yahoo Sports
They have had more botched takeovers than you’ve had hot meals, but Newcastle United appear to be in the home straight in their quest for new ownership.
British retail entrepreneur Mike Ashley has owned the Magpies since 2007, but has failed to develop a rapport with the Geordie faithful, due to a lack of investment into the team that has led to more relegations than successes.
Fans feel that he cares more about his controversial retail empire, and that he does not understand the club or its people. The supporters in the North East of England even resent the fact that he, and the people he put in charge at the club, are from the South of England. (Just like the north distrusts the elite south in “Game of Thrones,” the Geordies refer to their unpopular owner and his ilk as the “cockney mafia.”)
The perennially abhorred Ashley has tried to unload the club on several occasions, coming close to sealing an agreement with the Abu Dhabi ruling family last summer.
Ashley is undoubtedly one of the least popular owners in the game, but his unpopularity is likely to be eclipsed by the majority stakeholder in the Toon’s latest $375 million takeover deal.
If the deal goes through, the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia will hold an 80 percent stake in the club, with 10 percent ownership going to financier Amanda Staveley and multi-billionaire real estate investors David and Simon Reuben.
Due to Saudi Arabia’s poor human rights record and multiple breaches of international law, their investment in Newcastle puts the hatred of Ashley into a new perspective. (After all, for his faults, the famously reclusive businessman has never committed a genocide in Yemen or murdered a journalist with a bone saw.)
Accordingly, Amnesty International condemned the takeover, in what may be seen as the legitimization of a murderous regime. It is completely reasonable to be concerned about the slow creep of soft power and illicit wealth into top-tier soccer — but it is also important to note that we as soccer fans have long been complicit in this unedifying charade.
Manchester City, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain fans are among those who enjoy the spoils of a team funded by ethically dubious sources. And in all the noise around the Newcastle takeover, it seems to have been forgotten that the Premier League already has a Saudi-backed team: Sheffield United are fully owned by Saudi Prince Abdullah bin Musa’ad bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.
Italian and Spanish Super Cups are held in Saudi Arabia, along with major boxing events and proposed Formula 1 races. This does not make Newcastle’s takeover any less controversial, but it suggests that it is possible for Newcastle fans to simultaneously couple a sense of concern with excitement for the future.
The change of ownership will make Newcastle the richest team in the Premier League — the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia is worth a reported $393 billion — which gives them the potential to become the titan they have always threatened to be.
Newcastle is a one-team town, whose fans fill the 52,000-capacity St. James’ Park rain or shine, Premier League or Championship. The stadium is frequently cited as having the best atmosphere in the Premier League, but the incredible match-day experience stands in stark contrast to the team’s success.
The Magpies have not won a major trophy since the 1955 FA Cup.
They came closest to glory in the mid-90s, when they were within touching distance of winning the Premier League. In 1995-96, Kevin Keegan’s Newcastle side held a 12-point lead over rivals Manchester United by January, but still managed to finish second. Keegan’s unravelling was famously captured in a post-match interview, in which he proclaimed: “I’d love it if we beat them!”
Newcastle responded by breaking the world transfer record for hometown hero Alan Shearer in the following summer — for a £15 million (roughly $18.4 million) fee that seems quaint by today’s standards — but only managed to finish runner-up once again in 1996-97.
The Magpies’ greatest dalliance with continental glory came in the 1997-98 season, where they defeated a Barcelona side featuring Luis Figo, Rivaldo and Luis Enrique, courtesy of a Faustino Asprilla hat trick.
In the last two decades, however, the pickings have been slim when it comes to success. In Ashley’s 13 seasons at the helm, the club has only finished in the top half of the table twice. They have also been relegated twice — an unfathomable embarrassment for a club of their size.
Given the size of their fanbase and their stature in the modern game, Newcastle are easily the biggest underachievers in soccer. Many vaunted European sides bat below their average, but none come close to the Magpies.
But that script may be destined to change in the coming seasons.
With a considerable cash injection, at a time when rivals may be struggling to balance the books, Newcastle could invest in the kind of players who could live up to the tremendous roar that emanates from the Gallowgate on match days. Think Kylian Mbappe, rather than Joelinton.
Of course, it is possible that Newcastle’s new owners will hold the purse strings as tight as Ashley. After all, Sheffield United’s Saudi owners have not flooded the club with money, while Queens Park Rangers weren’t exactly Champions League contenders when they were majority-owned by Lakshmi Mittal, one of the richest people in the world.
But it is now possible for Newcastle to fulfill their destiny as a European contender. They can finally reward their long-suffering fanbase with the level of soccer that their unwavering passion deserves.
Perhaps the Premier League Big Six could become a Big Seven. Juventus may not be the only Champions League regulars in black and white. And the Premier League trophy might be engraved with a new name.
Newcastle will continue to receive bad press for welcoming Saudi money — and perhaps rightly so. But recent history has taught us that soccer fans are willing to overlook the involvement of dubious owners, poorly behaved players or unethically sourced financial resources if it equates to success.
In the modern game, it is impossible for any team to gain a seat at the top table of European soccer, among the “heritage teams,” without a large injection of cash. Newcastle already has the fanbase and infrastructure required to dine at that table, and if the takeover goes through, they will also be able to pay the check.
West Brom have a Kittitian in midfield. Romaine Sawyers, I not familiar with the youth. He almost just now against Chelsea.

Couldn't have happened against a nicer guy at a worse time is what OGS must be thinking.
I agree regarding the players. On balance, given the returns and the table, plus the dynamics of this particular loss, the technical staff will be under pressure.

Dear West Ham Board and Fans,Epic come back though.
After careful consideration, I submit my resignation.
I will not be entertaining any future coaching opportunities in the Premier League.
Sincerely,
David William Moyes.
Leeds have been playing some entertaining football. They haven't been backing down from any opponent either. I know most of us on here mainly watch the top 6 clubs but checkout Leeds, you'll be in for a treat.

What is so insane about the points table?
Even with four teams with two matches in hand, the one obvious revelation is parity further down the table than I think is typical. Certainly if you compare it to the points accumulation of the Scottish league, there is no argument. But even a glance at the Primeira Liga, Serie A, the Eredivisie and the Championship highlight the difference.
Ligue 1, the Bundesliga (sort of) and the Belgian league are closer to the spread in England - but still.
Match congestion and injury management/prevention are going to be intriguing things to interrogate as the season progresses.
Happy for the victorious Southampton squad. Love when some underdogs defeat top teams; standings shape could be interesting as the season continues.
Has anybody checked out Carlo's Everton at all this season, dat team look like dey go be dismantling real opponents this year similar to Chelsea in 2010, Never forgave the Russian for letting Carlo go and in such a disrespectful fashion, Ray Wilkins too
Add: Everton v Liverpool go be ah must watch

This is really sad. It never stops. And it could be anywhere in the world. About 10 or 15 years ago when DC United was on top in the MLS, there was a very good Salvadoran player who got caught up in a very similar situation like this. I don't think he was found guilty but his career went south after that. I am not sure what really happened but this is a lesson for all those athletes, rappers or young "millionaires" , don't let your dick dictate your brain.Since the pandemic started, there have been many cases of football figures facing the courts or being roped into intrigues (in England, Europe and beyond). From Mendy to the PSG women to Zseremeta to Paul Riley to Hubert Busby to Avram Grant to Botezatu to the Miami FC player to the Orlando City player to Sidy Sarr (Ligue 2).
