The Barclays Premier League thread 2015/2016

Kurt Zouma almost killed a man tonight.

Holy shit, just seen the clip. Was that a shining wizard to the chest? That geezer will be feeling that in the morning.

[stokeriño]

Apparently not even Kurt Zouma can stop a rampaging Kurt Zouma.  

[Baddar]

Wilshere could be out for another 3 months. The prick should just retire.

[TCO]

Yeah his injuries at this age are actually worse than what Owen's were at the same point. 

At this rate he's going to be a cripple by the time he hits 30.

[Lineker]

Lol Wilshere. Makes Hargreaves look fit.

[Colly]

Colo's signed a contract extension.

[Gazz]

I'll reserve judgement till after the first few games to see if he's playing like he gives a fuck again.

FOOTBALL fans around the country are marking the day of the year when they say that Arsenal ‘must finally deliver’.

The annual event sees thousands of fans across the country re-use the same opinion they have had about Arsene Wenger’s squad since 2010.

Tom Logan, from Nottingham, said: “For all its talent, a leader in the mould of Tony Adams or Patrick Vieira is still missing.”

Amid applause from friends and family, he added: “Thanks, it’s great to be able to dust off that old favourite again.”

Janet Fisher, from Stevenage, said: “While Ozil’s style is pleasing on the eye, doubts about his effectiveness in the English game have yet to be answered. I said that about Jose Antonio Reyes and a few more whose names I can’t remember.”

Meanwhile, Roy Hobbs, from Peterborough, cleared his throat and announced: “Though they will thrill the purists once again, I believe Wenger’s reluctance to sign an out-and-out goal scorer may ultimately prove costly.

“Boom! Five years in a row. That feels good.”

Phil McNulty's season predictions, if anyone cares about that sort of thing.

A new survey has suggested that many Premier League clubs are continuing to fail disabled fans.

Only Bournemouth, Swansea and Arsenal have been found to be 100% compliant with Uefa recommendations for wheelchair spaces at their grounds.

Tottenham are bottom of the list with 28%, behind Watford (35%) and Aston Villa (41%).

The survey was carried out by charity Revitalise ahead of the start of the new Premier League season.

It follows a BBC Sport investigation in March 2014 which highlighted the issue.

In June, top-flight clubs were threatened with legal action after the Equality and Human Rights Commission (ECHR) said it had received a number of complaints about clubs, including Manchester United removing walking aids from away fans.

Other examples received by the ECHR include disabled fans being prevented from obtaining season tickets, and problems such as families with young disabled children being unable to sit together at matches.

Guidelines on how football clubs in the UK should cater for disabled spectators have been in place since 2004, while European football governing body Uefa's recommendations were published in 2003. The number of wheelchair spaces a stadium should provide is based on its capacity.

Last month in the House of Lords during the second reading of the Accessible Sports Grounds Bill, Lord Holmes of Richmond, Britain's most successful Paralympic swimmer, called on Premier League sponsors and broadcasters to pull out of football unless progress was made in providing facilities for disabled fans.

If enacted into law, the bill would give local authorities the power to refuse to issue a safety certificate to a sports ground which does not comply with accessible stadia guidelines.

[Kaney]

Typical Spurs, always worst.

[Gazz]

Noted football sage Robbie Savage just said that Man Utd will win the league because 'they have the strongest squad in the league'.

[stokeriño]

I am now imagining Kurt Zouma single-handedly laying out the entire United defence with Shining Wizard after Shining Wizard.

[Gazz]

He's now changed his position based on if DDG leaves, then he thinks Arsenal will win.

 

[Nerf]

tbf, Arsenal are my pick too.

[Gazz]

Yeah, but you don't know shit.

[Lineker]

No wonder Mr Levy was so keen for us to move into the Olympic stadium!

[Gazz]

Says the bloke in a taxpayer funded £60 taxi...

[MDK]

Great. We paid for the stadium, it got used for two weeks, sold to the Spammers for a pittance and now we are paying for it again.

At least if it was Orient in the stadium people would go "aww, look, they think they are a real team!" instead of "fucking cockneys, always up to something dodgy. Worse than the bloody scousers"

[Lineker]

Says the bloke in a taxpayer funded £60 taxi...

£72.

[METALMAN]

No wonder Mr Levy was so keen for us to move into the Olympic stadium!

I think that as a punishment West Ham should be forced to pay for the running costs of the welfare state.
