The Barclays Premier League Thread 2014/2015

Steve Bruce thinks he went down too easy too.

Wait.

Steve Bruce says he went down too easy too.

Steve Bruce doesn't think, what am I saying?

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

To be fair Steve Bruce would swear blind that the sky was green if a referee said it was blue.

[lanky316]

He doesn't go down easy and roll around, he's bemused at having someone trip him and randomly slap him on the arse while doing so. It's hilarious that this is even a "thing". It was a stupid moment and an easy decision to make.

[Lineker]

Up in a sec Howard Webb will be in the MNF studio.

[Baddar]

AGBONLAHOR!

Shocker from Forster. Where was he going?

[Doc Devine]

dat Gabby pace.

[Cymbols]

What a goal. Beautiful. N'Zogbia is like 0% effective at anything mind.

[Ant]

I think N'Zogbia is still in Miami "recuperating"

Bring Grealish on.

[Thrilla]

Villa getting slated on Twitter for their away ticket prices, £41 for a Monday night game :-/

[Gazz]

A Staffordian reffing a Villa game?

Fix!

[Matt]

Can't really blame Villa, I'm guessing it's gonna be about an 8 hour round trip including hitting tea time traffic and Saints don't exactly have the biggest away following to begin with. If tickets had been 20 quid i don't think they'd have got too many more in

[stokeriño]

It's too much to ask that Villa actually hang on to this lead, isn't it? :/

[Baddar]

I hope they do. It'd mean that more dropped points against City and Arsenal in the next few games could potentially see us go above them if we win at St Mary's in a fortnight.

We do have home games against Hull and Stoke to negotiate first, mind you.

[Matt]

I can't see Southampton scoring to be honest. And if i were you I'd want Southampton to win anyway, there's no way on earth they're catching you but they might keep someone out of the top 4 if they can not drop too many points in these types of games

[Baddar]

I'm sure Stoker would rather they lose tonight and then win on Sunday, tbf.

[stokeriño]

FFS, Weimann.

[Baddar]

Weimann sure does love skying them.

[Ant]

Oh dear. That could cost us

[stokeriño]

There you go.
