The Barclays Premier League Thread 2014/2015

[Hobo]

It is indeed an improvement. Brad Jones would've dived the other way...

He needs to protect his fabulous hair.

[Plubby]

Some crap decisions by officials yet again.

Gabby shouldn't have been sent off, the Palace offside goal should have counted. Harry Kane's goal shouldn't have counted because the ball was moving.

I think I need this in context because that strikes me as a prerequisite for scoring a goal.

[Lineker]

He means the ball was still moving when it was struck as a free kick.

[The Lusophone]

Taylor smashing the post looks worse and worse on replay. Standard classy mackems chanting their 'party when Steven Taylor dies' song while he was motionless on the floor with players and physios sprinting across. Barely even human.

C'mon, it's not like some Newcastle supporters wouldn't have chanted 'party when Lee Cattermole dies' if the situation was reversed.

Not that it makes Sunderland fans chanting what they did ok, but some self-awareness isn't a bad thing when labelling people 'barely even human'.

[MDK]

Having lost faith in Mignolet and Jones, Liverpool have built their own goalkeeper

It is a marked improvement.

It looks like a sniper got him halfway thru the dive

[Lineker]

Jonas Gutierrez will make his comeback for Newcastle in an Under-21s game against West Ham on Monday. The 31-year-old returned to the club last month and has been training after overcoming testicular cancer.

[stokeriño]

Shit. Now anything that happens in the real match this evening will be a disappointment.

(That's a lie - any kind of win and I will be very happy.)

[Lineker]

I don't understand how you can play without downloading the badges.

[stokeriño]

Intense laziness.

[Baddar]

It was also 17 degrees - your boys will be playing in far worse conditions tonight!

[Lineker]

Relatively warm and non-windy Stoke, tbh.

[Baddar]

Oh, and I had a little bit of a christmas bonus just now - I loaded up Baddarina's BT Sport account as I wanted to activate HD for the £3 a month (which is quite a con anyway as the app comes in HD as standard, something Sky Go still need to catch up with), but it turns out HD is free for the first 3 months anyway - yay for BT in shiny HD on the big screen over the festive period!

That's a pretty big assumption, and I can't think of a better label for anyone chanting something like that after that kind of injury. Note that's not aimed at the whole away crowd as I've no doubt plenty aren't that stupid.

[Gazz]

I'm throwing a party when Lee Cattermole retires.

[Lineker]

Lee Cattermole threw a party once. Everybody left legless.

[Gazz]

I'm also throwing one when Pardew leaves because fuck-ing hell that formation at the end.

[stokeriño]

[Lineker]

I don't even have a particular hatred for Liverpool, but the exact same thing happening to them that happened to us a year earlier, and some of the reactions to it on here, is hilarious.

If you get you a shot on target against Brad Jones you will score. He doesn't actually save anything. He's like that kid you let go in goal because he brought gloves along to the kick about.

Well he clearly saved three of them :/
