The Barclays Premier League Thread 2013/14

[Colly]

9 and a halfs. Fuck off Brendan.

[Liam]

Darren Bent. Woohoo.

And all that.

[King Ellis]

The kid starts one game for Utd and Woy already wants to put him in the England team.

Never change.

[TCO]

Januzaj can never be eligible for England anyway, having a passport through residency won't cut it under the Home Nations agreement. Never saw the point in that anyway, just all of them shooting themselves in the foot really.

Actually you can be eligible that way

[Cheeky Hughes]

Wasn't Nedum Onuoha eligible through residency?

[Khain]

Yeah, and Diego Costa is going to play for Spain after living there for five years.

[Matt]

Januzaj is clearly an amazing player that will change the face of football, just like Macheda before him.

[Lineker]

The Home Nations have a different agreement iirc, as they're qualifying as a British citizen and therefore could theoretically represent England, Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland.

He's ripping up trees at Doncaster!

[EddieG]

Wasn't Almunia eligible for England, and considering playing as he'd never get a game with Casillas/Reina/Valdes in front of him.

[Lineker]

As was Cudicini, iirc.

[Baddar]

Wasn't near a laptop when I saw it live so I'll say it now.

De Gea What a save!

Oh and Januzaj also did well, I guess

After he made that save, I said to my girlfriend "At least he's trying. If only the others would pull their fingers out."

The Januzaj wank fest started soon after, and rightly so, but De Gea was just as responsible for us winning that game.

[Baddar]

Januzaj is clearly an amazing player that will change the face of football, just like Macheda before him.

I was waiting for that point, but anyone who's seen him play before, and watched the game today, knows that this is different!

[Gazz]

I know if I was the lad, I'd definitely pass up the opportunity to play alongside Hazard, Lukaku, Kompany, Vertonghen, Vermaelen, Witsel, De Bruyne, Benteke, Dembele, Courtois and Mingolet to rub shoulders with Milner, Ruddy and Lambert.

[Nerf]

At least he gets Fellaini regardless!

[stokeriño]

Nothing we didn't already know.

[Baddar]

I would love if Belgium qualify for the World Cup, and Januzaj does enough between now and then for a call up.

Asking too much?

No you can't. Not unless you were also educated in the UK country of choosing for 5 years before you turned 18, which Januzaj wasn't so the only way he becomes eligible is if the Home Nations agreement is scrapped.

All that Arteta, Almunia and Cudicini nonsense predated the agreement becoming official

Apparently he wants to play for Albania anyway and has turned Belgium down at an underage level before.

[MDK]

I've turned down under aged Belgians before

[Jimmy]

I've turned down under aged Belgians before

Never change
