Official 2012/13 Premier League thread

Also, Ashley renames the stadium, shitty company no one likes comes in, changes the name back and is heralded as the third coming* of Christ. Masterstroke.

*The second being Keegan, obviously.

Ollie has finally found a team to support.

[stokeriño]

They've missed a trick not calling it The Wongarena.

Indirectly, he already does.

Wonga have been shirt sponsors at Blackpool for the last few years have they not? Including when they were in the Premier League, so not sure why the FSF would suddenly decide to protest their new involvement at Newcastle.

[IAceI]

It's a councillor in Newcastle who has taken issue with it, which is why it's a big deal now and not when Blackpool took them on. Talksport had Lee Ryder on earlier discussing this, at least I think it was him, it was bloody hard enough to listen to so I dread to think what it was like for the presenter dealing with that absolute cod-piece.

Aye, meant to mention Blackpool in my second paragraph but somehow missed it...

[jakeyd2006]

So when Suarez puts on an Ajax shirt he turns into a vampire? Right.

The worst dive I've seen is Morten Gamst Pedersen's against Arsenal at the Emirates last season (I think), he crossed someone and thought they were behind him and just fell over. Worse than any of the stuff Suarez has done.

EDIT: found it,

Also found this little gem too!

The bite has been mentioned, and a gif of Pedersen's dive have been posted, keep up people!

[jakeyd2006]

Purely for the commentator's anger it's worth a video.

[Hobo]

Stoke do that to most teams. And Suarez gave a bit back to Huth. But it was fun to watch him get kicked around.

So it is okay to stamp on someone's chest but not to dive?

[Thrilla]

This ain't ballet.

[Adam]

I can't believe I forgot about that Pedersen dive. Absolutely ludicrous.

Pretty much, yeah.

I'll be honest, I just enjoy seeing Suarez have a bad time

Watch some brazilian football, where diving happens all the time. Literally.

Think that might be water polo you're watching.
