The Barclays Premier League Thread 2013/14

[Lineker]

Anelka ties it up.

Fergie has allegedly advised Ole not to take the Cardiff job. And Craig Bellamy was offered the opportunity to manage the team on a short term basis, but declined.

[Starvinho]

Anelka scores his first two for West Brom to make it 2-1 just before HT.

Double happy with that one because I had over 2.5 first half goals at 7/1!

[Colly]

I missed both goals whilst making a sandwich. Lol West Ham.

[brenchill]

Rooney out injured for today

[TCO]

Could see Sam getting the sack today if West Ham lose. 14 points half way through the season just isn't enough.

Don't think spunking £15mil and god knows how much in wages on Andy Carroll, who's yet to play a game, has helped much either.

Well 2-2 now so game on!

[Starvinho]

United team: De Gea, Smalling, Vidic, Evans, Evra, Young, Cleverley, Carrick, Giggs, Kagawa, Hernandez

Subs: Lindegaard, Anderson, Welbeck, Fabio, Fletcher, Zaha, Januzaj

Not sure if Rooney is injured or just rested?

What a game this is by the way, West Ham lead 3-2 now.

What a game!

[Starvinho]

3-3!!

[Rafael]

Berahino for England!

[Colly]

See, that's why we should have the spray. Ridgewell booked for timewasting because he wouldn't put in a free kick with Maiga seven yards away. Terrible refereeing.

[Starvinho]

3-3 FT. Great game, think there'll be more to come with the other games today, tiredness is gonna kick in which will hopefully mean a shit load of goals.

[brenchill]

Rooney is injured. Don't think they can afford to rest anybody...

[Starvinho]

Some saying he's rested, others say he has a groin strain. Who to believe...

[Jimmy]

Villa are one up through Gabby

[Starvinho]

We're playing shite. No quality in attack whatsoever.

[Dynamite]

Evra has been shocking today. The defence looks so uncertain whenever it's tested and the attack is just incredibly pedestrian. Lucky not to be a goal behind here.

[Cheeky Hughes]

Dzeko once again proving why he shouldn't be in our first team. He's acting like he doesn't give a shit, not bothering to close down the Palace defence at all.

Fernandinho on the other hand has been immense. He deserves a goal.

Got a feeling Big Costel will be on at half time too, Hart got a cut under his eye from a kick from Jerome and it looks nasty.

[Starvinho]

Evra has been shocking today. The defence looks so uncertain whenever it's tested and the attack is just incredibly pedestrian. Lucky not to be a goal behind here.

I agree, there's been 2 or 3 times when Evra has gone to sleep and let someone run in behind. We're lucky to still be 0-0, hopefully Moyes will sort it out and we'll nick a win in the second half.

[Starvinho]

WELBECK!!

[Dynamite]

Welbeck's been great lately. Keeps the ball so well, he's strong, fast, works hard and looks to have been working hard on his composure in front of goal.
