The Barclays Premier League Thread 2014/2015

Pretty poor half from us, it has to be said. Only one real shot of note.

[Starvinho]

Good half that for us. Hopefully we can nick a win in the second half but would take a 0-0 if offered right now.

[Baddar]

We've done well. Every time Chelsea whip a corner or FK into the box though, I'm worried.

As for the Smalling headlock, it was, but I'm surprised no one has mentioned the fact that the Chevrolet logo was on his back due to Ivanovic pulling it there though.

Eh?

I see his shirt staying on firmly the right way round.

[Whisper]

As much as it's a foul, you're never getting that - not on "shirt puller" Ivanovic

[Baddar]

The point is that he had a firm hold of his shirt. Other angles confirmed it.

[stokeriño]

You may have mistaken me for a whinging Man City fan. I was just confused by your flagrant exaggerations...

[Baddar]

I'm just clueless as to how it wasn't even mentioned when it was clear that he had hold of him.

Not surprised it wasn't a pen at all, and not just because "lol, Stretford End" like Souness said.

[stokeriño]

Because whereas everyone and their mother pushes and pulls at shirts in the box, a headlock is massively conspicuous.

[Baddar]

It ain't cheatin' if Phil Dowd doesn't give it!

Important we get through the first 15-20mins here.

[stokeriño]

Rafael is totally going walkies today.

Think it's more likely to be someone from our midfield at this rate.

[The Lusophone]

Like how whoever the number 26 for Chelsea has around the United defender in that vine?

Yeah.

Have I at any point said the penalty should have been given? I've questioned the "Chevrolet logo on his back" line and pointed out a possible reason why no one has mentioned a shirt pull.

[Starvinho]

Typical bollocks.

DROGBA

DROGBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[Lineker]

1-0 Chelsea; Drogba. Because of course!

[Baddar]

Bloody Drogba.

[Whisper]

Worst player on the pitch scores.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Good idea to have Rafael marking Drogba

[stokeriño]

I do like that the "we're top of the league" chant has emerged from just mocking a Crystal Palace song and become an actual thing.
