Official Premiership 2008/09 thread

Felt sorry for Rio he was outstanding last season and composed through out most of the match. Everton came out firing after half time and deserved the point.

He was shocking throughout the first 35 minutes of the second half and he didn't have much to do prior to that.

[The Future]

I worded that wrong, I felt sorry for him due to the errors he made in the second half despite being in good form for most of the season.

EDIT: RICHARDSON FTW!!!

2-1 Sunderland, Richardson freekick!

[Baddar]

It wasn't just Rio. United as a whole just didn't seem prepared for Everton to come at them the way they did in the second half, when they should've been. The first half was too easy, in a sense.

[The Future]

I remember when Richardson was a wonderkid in the earlier CM's, a legend he was!.

[Baddar]

He still is. It makes me sad when United get rid of talent like that. I'm not saying he'd ever become a first team regular, but you get to like players like him, Eagles, Pique etc.

That post got me wondering on all the old wonderkids from CM, I remember legends like Cherno Samba, Dean Leacock, Ben Collet so am off to Wiki.

[Summers]

I oddly prefer Barton to Diouf.

Hm.

The ref really wanted Newcastle to lose, eh? Right on the second, despite a sub being made in the 90th.

Well you can't really blame him.

Barcodes and Spurs to go down

1439: Ugly. Fans are spilling onto the pitch, and fighting has broken out. We'll hear more about that I'm sure. Disappointing end to an engaging derby. Sunderland defeat Newcastle for the first time since 2000, when chairman Niall Quinn got the winner.

1441: Not surprisingly, the cameras have panned away from the trouble at the Stadium of Light, but there are reports of seats being thrown. The police have moved in in numbers...

This cannot end well. :/

[Pesci]

I read that Barton was getting pelted by coins during his warm-up and actually felt sorry for him. I'm scared to look down in case I'm missing a penis.

[Matt]

Joey Barton deserves everything he gets and more.

[9 to 5]

Which set of fans are ripping up seats?

[Matt]

Well seeing as Newcastle lost, are the team looking as though they'll get relegated and it's Sunderland's stadium, I'll take an educated guess that it's the Barcodes.

[Crybaby Bunting]

I have no problem with booing thugs, yet throwing projectiles that could cause serious damage isn't a really smart thing to be doing. Oh he's a bad person so me assaulting him through throwing coins and possibly blinding him makes everything better.

You never know. When Rovers beat Burnley at their place a few years agao, their fans decided to get revenge by smashing up their own town centre. >_>

I find Joey Barton hilarious, and that's about the extent of my feelings towards him, good or bad.

I didn't say I approved, just that he deserves it.

[Summers]

Nah, he doesn't.

It gives character to the place...

9 to 5 you ever been to a Burnley/BlackBurn match? I've always wanted to go to one. I've been to Burnley/Preston game at Deepdale... caught train there, all the Burnley fans who got the train were escorted by police to the stadium. I'd imagine thats pretty normal for teams with rivalries?
