Official Premier League 2010/11 thread

How many great goals were there yesterday? Lovely stuff all round, especially Brunt's perfect free kick, Mark Davies' Bolton equaliser and Berbatov's third.

[Jimmy]

Berbatov's third was one of the finest pieces of play I've ever seen. I've always been a big fan of Berbatov, so I'm glad to see him back on form. Probably the best Match of the Day I'll watch all year.

Also, it's about time Bent got a better shot at getting in the England side. He's consistently scoring goals.

Looking at the league, it's really tight this year. It's making for a pretty exciting year.

To be fair Bent would have no doubt played in the last two internationals if he hadn't been injured.

Looking forward to today's games, think Chelsea and Spurs will probably take the points but it'll be two good games, close affairs I expect.

How on earth did I manage to miss Motd last night?

[stokeriño]

Nothing like Sky Sports reminding us of the last time Chelsea lost 3 league games in a row (including a 3-0 defeat against Derby...) to fill me with a grim pessimism for the afternoon ahead.

[stokeriño]

LOL

Comedic defending by Chelsea there. Terrible cock up by Alex and Carroll quick to react.

[stokeriño]

We're looking to tick all the boxes.

We've been shit and lost (Sunderland).

We've been good and lost (Birmingham).

Now we're looking to be comical and lose.

Ancelotti looks a bit Gestapo in his coat today.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Has Ramires played much before?! I've never noticed him ever until that yellow card.

[stokeriño]

He's started 6 of our last 7 games or something like that.

He tends not to do much that's very noticeable for most of the time.

(Upon further checking, he's made 8 starts in the league, 2 in the Champions League and 1 in the League Cup. Plus a few sub appearances.)

Who's this Campbell bloke at the back for Newcastle? He looks immense. >_>

On a serious note, Tiote has been great every time I've seen him. To be fair, most of the times I've watched Newcastle this season, they've won.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

If by immense you mean fat then yes.

[stokeriño]

KALOOOOOOUUU

Thank fuck.

[TCO]

Urgh, that was so undeserved. It pisses me off watching the big teams, they always fucking sneak one.

Tiote was a great buy, he's so strong and just doesn't give the ball away much at all. Campbell was great up until that point too, bollocks anyway.

3-1 Chelsea is my prediction now.

[stokeriño]

Hold on. You're saying Chelsea's goal was undeserved...in a match with that gift as Newcastle's goal?

If you're saying it should be 0-0, then fair play.

[stokeriño]

Mikel off for Sturridge.

Guess that's a 4-2-4 formation for the last 10 minutes then...

[Baddar]

Ugh, Chelsea are getting closer - but can I be greedy and ask for a Newcastle winner, please?

[Shelty92]

Please, please hold on for three more minutes.

[Baddar]

Yay!
