The Barclays Premier League Thread 2014/2015

[stokeriño]

Ugh. Lead cut to one point.

I can't believe we got a last minute freekick and it was given to Willian, of all people...

[Cheeky Hughes]

Burnley score, Boyd clearly offside and interfering with play. Typical typical.

[stokeriño]

Nothing about Burnley scoring is typical.

[The Lusophone]

Between them the 10 referees for todays and tomorrows game have about 60 combined seasons of top flight refereeing behind, how they're making so many bad decisions is beyond me.

How Craig Pawson is a FIFA level referee though, I've no idea. Guy only joined the Select Group last year.

[brenchill]

Delph sent off. Down to 10 men AGAIN

[brenchill]

West Ham back in with a shout.

[brenchill]

BURNLEY EQUALISE

[Cheeky Hughes]

And Burnley equalise. Barnes deserves it, he's been great.

Shame it's come off the back of an offside goal.

[stokeriño]

Cue a Lampard winner...

[9 to 5]

Fucking City, can you shits do anything right?!

[stokeriño]

YES, BURNLEY I TEMPORARILY LOVE YOU

[Cheeky Hughes]

Finishes 2-2. Fuck off, referee.

[Gazz]

You're descending into parody.

[brenchill]

Finishes 2-2. Fuck off, referee.

I'd be more inclined to blame the squad of world-class players who couldn't see off lowly Burnley than the referee.

[Benjamin]

Hey! Burnley are pretty good, we could only beat them 1-0 a few days ago.

[brenchill]

Hey! Burnley are pretty good, we could only beat them 1-0 a few days ago.

If you want to win the title, you have to be beating Burnley.

[DavidMarrio]

Cisse with the elbows!!!

[9 to 5]

YES, BURNLEY I TEMPORARILY LOVE YOU

Kiss goodbye to your modship.

[Gazz]

Cisse with the elbows!!!

I haven't seen it (/wenger)

West Ham can walk away feeling hard done to not get a point, but to be fair Arsenal easily could've killed the game off on the counter if not for Adrian, who is such an underrated shot stopper. Alexis carries the Arsenal side at times, but Szczesny was superb dealing with the crosses and commanding his box today.

I absolutely cannot stand Enner Valencia right now though. Dude is all flash, not substance. At least 4 times I saw him either take an extra touch to try and beat his man instead of playing a cross into the boss (he lost the ball every time he tried this), or trying shit like an overhead kick when there were simpler, far more effective options. Doing stuff like that is a sure fire way to keep him out of the regular first XI.

And seriously Hughes, just stop. It's Manchester City, home to Burnley. Give up a bullshit goal, fine, but you're still 2-1 up. If you can't win that game still, that is the incompetency of the City side, and nothing else.
