Official Premiership 2008/09 thread

[IAceI]

All teams have a few more fans when they make the final of a cup. Fool

[stokeriño]

All I'm saying is that I need to find ONE of them that'll fit into a cannon. It's not much to ask.

In the meantime, a Liverpool clean sheet would be nice. Much as I like Villa, I'd prefer they keep their goals to teams who don't include two of my fantasy football defenders.

Well Pompey also have the smallest stadium in the Premiership so surely it would make sense to have the lowest attendances?

[9 to 5]

Don't let logic affect your points Lanky!

[stokeriño]

0-0. That'll do nicely. And Chelsea remain top through sheer flukery.

[Summers]

Ah well.

Up the Villa.

Decent performance.

[therockbox]

Ah well.

Up the Villa.

Decent performance.

Have your set pieces been up to much this season? Last year you seemed to be scoring loads off them, and I can't work out whether we did really well to stop you or they just weren't very good.

[IAceI]

Turns out Wigan have less attendance than Pompey, so.. oh well

Not as good, but still good. You did really well stopping them, stopping Laursen and Carew in their tracks a couple of times. But as you saw, when Laursen does get free, there's danger.

What you think of the 'pool performance?

[therockbox]

It was fairly average, but then I expected us to lose before the game given our recent performances. We had some good chances, Keane should have scored and I think if he'd got that chance with a couple of goals already scored then he would've put it away. Defensively we were superb though, Arbeloa especially handled Young superbly and Carew's chance aside we didn't really look threatened at all. We need to improve before the Mancs though.

[Clawson]

So I just realizied we're third in the league. Hughes better not let this form slip or he's gonna get shitcanned.

[Anderson]

Keegan leaves Newcastle ... seriously.

*Checks SSN*

Yep, certainly looks like it.

[stokeriño]

BBC still has it as merely 'Newcastle holding talks with Keegan'.

[Anderson]

I tend to believe SSN.

[stokeriño]

All I'm saying is that I can't see SSN, and BBC is always slow, so at the moment your claims mean little to me.

[Summers]

It genuinely says "Keegan leaves Newcastle" on the breaking news scroll, stoker.

[stokeriño]

Well, there you are then.

And Newcastle continue to be absolutely ridiculous in everything they do. ¬_¬

[Summers]

I don't get where this has came from, to be honest.

Gets better.. Wise is favourite to succeed him.

Setanta reckon he is leaving as well...

Does that mean Dennis Wise will take over?
