Official Premiership 2008/09 thread

[Crybaby Bunting]

The relegation dogfight is far more interesting than anything near the top. Just a few weeks ago the favourites to go down were Spurs, Newcastle and Stoke - since then they've been doing alright and (in Stoke's case) defying logic.

[IAceI]

With Newcastle winning thanks to an Owen brace, and Arsenal looking like possibly winning back to back games then the stage is set for a Neil Bailey and Dwight Yorke Sunderland AFC to beat Manchester United.

You can't tell me all the signs aren't pointing to that at least anyways.

EDIT: And Ricky Sbragia - whose the actual caretaker boss

Is Ronaldive banned? If so, I can see you winning or at least getting a draw.

[IAceI]

No Ronaldo has no ban yet.

No Evra, Scholes or Fergie though.

[therockbox]

Oh look.

Steven Gerrard turns up on the right hand side, puts a cross in and we score.

But fuck that, I R CENTRAL PLAYER.

[9 to 5]

At least you are winning.

[therockbox]

It's quite worrying though, we've looked completely incapable of breaking you down. This is even worse than we were against West Ham and Fulham.

[9 to 5]

That didn't make me feel much better.

But I totally agree about Gerrard and players like him who just want to play in the centre all the time. Play where you are best, told to fucking play and be thankful you are being picked at all.

Yossi

Where did that come from!?

[TheRossWalker]

For about five minutes, I had a decent win in the Bookie.

Then Abdoulaye fucking Faye shows up.

[therockbox]

What happened with Eboue at the Emirates?

[TMM]

Apparently he was getting booed, was subbed off and sulked. Good, fuck off.

[IAceI]

Stevie G shows the passion with a Liverpool goal!

[HailtotheYo]

What happened with Eboue at the Emirates?

He sucked and the fans let him know it.

Damn, should have had a couple of more goals there but clearly gave too many opportunities for Wigan to put one in.

[Crybaby Bunting]

I have no clue why Faye was ever sold to Stoke, he was at times much better than Taylor >_<

[Farmer Reil]

There's only one Ross Turnbull!

Also, haha. Hamilton learned the hard way that you're not allowed to score at Ibrox inside two minutes... christ.

[The Future]

Wins for Liverpool,Chelsea,Arsenal today. United will win too hopefully we need to keep up the pressure on them and take points off them at Old Trafford.

[The Future]

12 minutes left and still 0-0, we have Berbatov,Tevez,Rooney,Anderson all on but can't seem to get the goal.

[Farmer Reil]

Oh Berba. Why did you leave Spurs for United? Did Sean Wright-Phillips teach you nothing?

Big fish + small pond = hero.

Big fish + ocean = shark food.

37 year old DWIGHT YORKE is playing defensive midfielder (was, Tainio just replaced him), and United are still like waves on a rock. Call it negative if you want, but it's working for them... (working for Sunderland, I mean. Not United, obviously).

Shots on goal:

United: 7

Sunderland: 0

This game is fantastic. :|

And Anderson still doesn't want to score. Seriously, he might has well have picked the ball up and handed it to the goalkeeper. Come on Sunderland, don't fuck this up. Please?

Edit: Vidic you absolute c... *remembers who he's talking about*... cracking bloke?
