The Barclays Premier League Thread 2014/2015

Fuck off Bardsley. We've already had someone elbow Willian in the head twice without comment, and now you completely level Hazard and dare to question a booking.

And thank goodness Courtois got a hand to that one.

Now there's shoving in the box. Referee's not exactly got a good grip on this game.

[Baddar]

What he has got is a knack of getting in the way of the ball. Lol @ preventing a Chelsea attack.

[stokeriño]

Another booking Bardsley could/should have got, pulling back on Costa's shirt as he tries to run through...

[stokeriño]

FABREGAS, THANK FUCK

[Baddar]

Stay like this now - need the predictions win.

EDIT: Nice!

[stokeriño]

Top at Christmas!

Clark Carlisle in hospital after being hit by a lorry near York. Speculation that it may have been a suicide attempt based on the location he was hit and obviously his previous suicide attempt. Hope he pulls through

[Colly]

I hate the fact that people even speculate that it's a suicide attempt. Fingers crossed for Countdown man.

[Lineker]

Hope he pulls through this

[stokeriño]

Charlie Adam: not the subtlest of human beings.

 

 

Although I suppose he has certain standards of thuggery that he holds himself to and already had this to compete with...

 

[Jimmy]

Charlie Adam really is a cunt.

[Lineker]

Massive carnivorous cunt.

Chelsea need to man up.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

That Bardsley tackle was pretty old school. I remember when a defender would get one of those in early doors against a striker. All they got then was a warning and a free kick. Ahhhh back when men were men and players were retiring at 29 or 30...

As for Charlie Adam, I just wish he'd be removed from the game for good.

[stokeriño]

Chelsea need to man up.

We did. It involved winning 2-0.

[Gazz]

Can the FA retrospectively charge Adams for that?

There's minimal contact but it's fairly obvious of the intent.

[stokeriño]

If they did charge people for that, half the Stoke team would be gone. Every other week.

[Gazz]

Double win.

[Cymbols]

Yeah that second Adam one was pretty terrible. Don't get me wrong, so was the first, but the second one was worse. As for Bardsley, he got the ball

[The Lusophone]

There should absolutely be bans for players who throw elbows around all the time like Fellaini and Adam (although - and this is probably club bias and not watching many matches blinding me - I've yet to see Fellaini throw elbows around intentionally), and if the FA don't have the ability to give them out then they really need to change that.
