The FA Premier League (English Football) Official Thread
-
Being a Norwich City fan and therefore no longer following an EPL based team i'm gonna be cheering on Liverpool in the top flight this season. Despite their decent result at WHL yesterday I still think they will struggle without Suarez's goals and assists plus they could also suffer from Spursitis, where a load of new players fail to replace one exceptional superstar (even if he was a bit of a dick).
Gotta say that i'm loving watching Utd have such a shocking start to the season and can't wait to see the first of the Manchester derbies and their trip to Stamford Bridge. Why is LVG adding Falcao up front when he desperately needs 2 or 3 decent defenders; does he really think Smalling and Evans are up to the task?
As seems to be the general consensus I think the champions will be either City or Chelsea.
-
Man Utd have a Championship standard defence, it is certainly going to be their achilles this season unless a lot is expected of Rojo.
As deadline day is here it seems a familiar story at my beloved SJP as players depart (Yang M'biwa) and nobody comes in to replace them, cue Pardew on MOTD lamenting the depth of his squad after a hard fought point at home to QPR next month in another thrilling 3 - 3 draw….. so fucking predictable
-
And for the (insert ridiculous number) transfer window in a row, Newcastle allow their best player to leave without hope of finding a replacement, yet keep the cretin running the team in gainful employment. Only at Newcastle do you find a business which intentionally weakens itself year after year and delivers an inferior product whilst the customer continue to pay their money…..ridiculous.
-
I hate international breaks in the Prem. Looking forward to next weekend when Spurs play Sunderland. Certainly an easier opposition than Liverpool >:(.
-
Arsenal make me want to tear my hair out. Özil is dogging it.
-
Özil is killing Arsenal. He gave up many possessions including a scoring possession for MC. No idea why he hasn't been benched, he's been a disaster.
-
I can sympathise with Ozil, he's a lot like Ben Arfa in the way that if he feels loved and confident then he's a world beater, if not…..

We will see
Yes we will, they have bought well but I'm far from convinced.
-

In other words, a lack of mental and spiritual fortitude
I think he was also dogging it. The effort wasn't there, and that's harder to forgive.

as an arsenal fan Ozil frustrates me so much… I wish they'd put santi on instead

Agreed. He cost the Gunners points today IMO.
-
i hope this is the start of king LVG's reign…
-
I'd wait until they are up against real opposition and not just QPR. Having said that, match reports indicated a definite shift in performance that was worth being optimistic about.
It was frustrating that Spurs couldn't win against Sunderland given our possession and number of attempts. Still some way to go in instilling that killer instinct in the team but early days… The Arse v City match earlier on Saturday was a treat. Somehow I ended up in a pub surrounded by Gooners but there was a lot of good football to enjoy.
-
yeah no doubt it's only qpr but like what sugar said, i think they're starting to gel as a team and play that attacking football that LVG wants.
-
Can anyone with even the most basic level of knowledge of recent Premier League history tell me how the fuck Alan Pardew still has a job? It has to be because he's the owners mate, or owes him money right?
-
Doesn't Pardew have one more game to prove himself now? You've got Hull next so maybe he'll go down in a blaze of head-butting glory!
After that, it would be great to see Newcastle getting back to where they should be and out of the downward spiral towards the Championship.
