The Barclays Premier League Thread 2014/2015

[Arjen Robben]

Harsh.

Adequate.

[Baddar]

That was very harsh from Rio, "bantz" or not.

[Arjen Robben]

Yeah, pretty unnecessary really. Hope QPR get tonked. Would be hoping that either way tbf but still.

[King Ellis]

Not harsh at all. Not like he's saying he's slept with the guys wife or anything, he's just pointing out a fact. :/

[Baddar]

Part of me wants Rio to get injured in training tomorrow.

[DavidMarrio]

Don't worry, he'll probably get injured getting into his car on the way to training

[peteypirahna]

That wasn't harsh in the slightest, it was a gentle ribbing between people who know each other.

Remove teasing and humour from the game and you might as well clap for both teams at the end of the match as if it's taking part that counts.

What a tosser Rio is.

[Lineker]

Professional footballer in tosspot shocker.

[The Lusophone]

Online commenters in over-reacting shocker.

[ZJ Penn]

Oh my god what are you talking about?! Jesus Christ.

YOU'VE STILL GOT IT! *CLAP CLAP CLAP* YOU'VE STILL GOT IT! *CLAP CLAP CLAP*

[Lineker]

Danny Welbeck starts up front for Arsenal against Manchester City, who give Frank Lampard his debut. The former Chelsea man is in for Yaya Toure in midfield.

Arsenal: Szczesny, Debuchy, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Flamini, Wilshere, Ramsey, Alexis, Ozil, Welbeck

Man City: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Clichy, Fernandinho, Lampard, Navas, Silva, Milner, Aguero

[Rainiac]

I'm probably just feeling pessimistic, but for some reason I don't have a good feeling about this game...

We'll see if I was right after the final whistle

[stokeriño]

Probably good that I will be on my way down to London and unable to watch this game.

Wonder if they'd give the ball to Lampard if City won a penalty?

[Baddar]

Is Yaya injured, or just rested ahead of the CL game?

[Cheeky Hughes]

Rested I think, our only real midfield injury is Fernando.

[Kaney]

I'd love to be optimistic about this game after the charity shield match but I can't help but expect a tonking.

[Lineker]

Is the Rachel Riley who is apparently going to be hosting on BT in the future her of Countdown fame?

[Baddar]

We can hope.
