The Barclays Premier League Thread 2014/2015

To be fair to Sky they're a commercial station filling time between ad breaks, its not as if the beeb is much better with Twitter comments and polls appearing on MOTD. If they could afford to make Garth Crooks be Jim White all day on deadline day they would.

News presenters are there to tell the news, not be celebrities or have fanfare when they enter the office to do their job. :/

[Colly]

Maybe in the 50s...

[Lineker]

I want fanfare

[9 to 5]

I don't mind the transfer window so much, it is the hype and self-promotion that makes me sick.

[FestiveJack]

Just be glad we still have the rules that prevent Sky News from turning into Fox News.

True it's only Toronto and it's only 15 minutes in but Lamela is running the show. He's playing like Van der Vaart at his best.

[GoGo Yubari]

He's looking really good. Davies has given him good service too.

LAMEEEEELLLLAAAAA! 1-0!

Eriksen inside to Soldado, across to Lamela and a nice finish from an angle.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

2-0. Lamela's second. Great run, assist from Soldado and a finish from a similar spot to the first.

[Jimmy]

Soldado's link-up play with Lamela is fantastic. Hope we don't sell him or anything, think he's got a big season ahead, even if it isn't always in goals.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Looks like it's a whole new team for the second half, except for Freidel.

Still, that means Falque, Holtby, Fredericks and Ceballos to look forward to watching.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, there was a lot to get excited about in that first half. Namely Lamela demanding the ball at every turn. Hope a few impress now too!

[Plubby]

Keen for the DEMON Kane to get stuck in.

EDIT: I forgot it did that.

[Dang117]

decent finish that from weidmen

edit: nice to see townsend playing hopefully he is fully fit and not rushed back

Dawson needs to go. We've been terrible in this second half. Townsend's been awful, and as much as I love Tom Carroll, he is not a defensive midfield player - we're really missing Capoue.

[Cheeky Hughes]

2-1 currently in the SKC/City game, Zucculini (new midfielder signing) and Boyata scoring either side of Sapong for Kansas. We've got a trialist up front, Kelechi Iheanacho. He looks amazing, probably our MOTM so far. And apparently his celebration of choice is the "Yes" chant!

EDIT: Finished 4-1, Kolarov penalty and IHEANACHO! Lovely first time finish from outside the box, no Yes chant though

Ander Herrera: BEAST.

[MDK]

I hope Holtby gets a chance this season, I really quite like him.
