Official Premier League 2009/10 thread

[IAceI]

I generally ask "Whose are the only four teams to win the Premiership?"

Catches a few out it has to be said.

The last trophy we won was MASSIVE compared to all of these tinpot trophies...

MASSIVE!

[Crybaby Bunting]

That's nothing compared to the last thing Newcastle won

Just thought that I would post my bet from this weekend.

You must want to shag Didier Drogba about now. Congrats.

[9 to 5]

It will go a long way to his cancer treatment.

1-0 down at half-time, which I'm not especially surprised by because Chelsea have a well developed habit now of not waking up until they concede. I predicted a draw of some form before the game, but to be honest I'm not convinced by this winger-less 4-4-2 diamond Ancelotti's gone for. All the opposition need to do is place a great big wall of players down the middle as Sunderland have been doing, and we just can't get through. It's a bit like the predicament we had under Scolari when the midfield players would always try and advance straight through 3 defenders into the box, for an apparent lack of any wider option, to no avail.

We need to at least get Malouda on in the second half as a player who's willing to advance down the wing.

1-0 down at half-time, which I'm not especially surprised by because Darren Bent is brilliant.

Fixed

[stokeriño]

He's a good fit for Sunderland, I'll give you that.

[stokeriño]

Well hooray, 1-1.

[Crybaby Bunting]

Are Chelsea going to start every game like this until they sign Sven? ¬_¬

[stokeriño]

Sven? Sven?! What is this, 2003?

My God, Drogba went down in the area and the referee gave it. I cannot remember the last time that happened.

Lampard, 2-1.

[alldaws1]

Just don't start to run away with it Chelsea, I need a one goal win or less from you to keep my ESPN streak alive.

[stokeriño]

3-1.

Why can't Anelka and Malouda be on the pitch to score me Fantasy league points?

[Crybaby Bunting]

Sven? Sven?! What is this, 2003?

I can't think of any more world class managerial replacements. Seriously, it seems the only people who haven't been in contact with Chelsea has been Pep Guardiola and SAF ¬_¬

The next one would be Guus v2.0, presumably.

[stokeriño]

Holy crap, Shevchenko's on the pitch. I take back what I said in the summer transfer thread.

[IAceI]

Given Rico and Malbranque are nursing injuries I wasn't too bothered, 1-0 up at half time brought me hope but Chelsea punting 3 past us showed that even if they struggle to bang them in against most teams, they still always arse rape us.

I'm not too fussed 5th-20th (minus where we are) are the teams we need to focus on beating, anything off the big four is a bonus. Bring on Blackburn, still full of hope.
