The Barclays Premier League Thread 2013/14

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

City need Kompany back as soon as possible, looking dire in defence so far here.

Hull will regret that awful early miss and even the other early chance after the defensive mix up.

[Cymbols]

Fernandinho has been pretty shit so far today. How's he played in City's previous games does anyone know?

[Baddar]

The same way, pretty much.

[The LBTN Express]

Yeah, he's been dire so far.

Man City looked scarily good against Newcastle but there performance against Cardiff where they couldn't seem to string a set of good passes together seems to be continuing here today and are lucky to not be one nil down.

[Colly]

Listening to Five Live in the car, never realised quite how much John Hartson sounds like Rhod Gilbert. It's uncanny.

[Cheeky Hughes]

2-0 win, Negredo header (again) and a lovely Toure free kick (again).

Unlucky for Hull, but at least City are doing the "play shit, still win" thing!

[Dynamite]

Over an hour gone in all four games and it's 0-0 everywhere!

[therockbox]

Norwich have just scored.

[Dynamite]

My plan worked.

[Ant]

Bet the commentators at today's games will be on pro plus

[Szumi]

What a boring set of games. Here's hoping to a much better Sunday!

[therockbox]

The most exciting league in the world!

[TCO]

Just back from the game. Well deserved win. Fulham made it tough but a bit of quality from Ben Arfa did them in in the end. Remy looks like pure quality too, completely changed the pace when he came on.

[Colly]

Absolutely. Marveaux was anonymous for the third game in a row (excused City, can't remember if he played but everyone was anonymous that game) and Cisse still doesn't know how to make a run so we went nowhere at any pace. Remy and Gouffran stretched it and asked questions of a pretty lacklustre Fulham defense who had little to do for the first hour. Actually vaguely looking forward to MOTD just to see a few chances, we certainly deserved the goal.

Also looking forward to seeing if they show Ben Arfas celebration where he rather brilliantly ran into the crowd directly on top of a row of wheelchairs. Anywhere but there Hatem.

Looking at the other results too that might be just be enough to push us from last on MOTD to second or third. BBC must be praying Sunderlands a cracker.

Crystal Palace!

[Cymbols]

Danny Gabbidon. Talk about a blast from the past!

[Colly]

Love Holloway even more today.

[TCO]

No way Di Canio is going to last the season. Not just based on today mind. There's too many signings too quickly and he's an arrogant tit who doesn't have the ability to mesh a squad overhaul like that.

[Colly]

Blaming the board for not letting him bring players in too, how many did he want? A whole new 25 man squad?

[Gazz]

I hope he stays forever, he's doing a fantastic job.
