The Barclays Premier League Thread 2014/2015

[Baddar]

Arsenal should be 4 up. Might regret it if they don't add a second goal soon.

[Cheeky Hughes]

Does the penalty shout make it onto MOTD? Of course it fucking doesn't.

Yes it did. Hughes?

NO COMMENT

[Kaney]

Alexis is so wonderful.

[Baddar]

United XI: De Gea, Valencia, Jones, Smalling, Shaw, Blind, Carrick, Rooney, Mata, Di Maria, van Persie.

BLIND! Unless Blind or Carrick play as a 3rd CB, it looks like we may have ditched the 352 again. 4231 seems likely.

Not sure why Falcao isn't in the squad at all, maybe he has an injury. Valdes and Fellaini are on the bench.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Southampton XI: Forster, Clyne, Fonte, Alderweireld, Bertrand, Wanyama, Schneiderlin, S. Davis, Ward-Prowse, Elia, Pellè

Could be a close game. I'm keen to see how Elia gets on in the Prem.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Annoying that Herrera isn't getting game time on a regular basis, fantastic to have Blind back though.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Just realised that if Southampton beat United then they go above them in the table. Added incentive might inspire a big performance.

[Baddar]

We'll win today. Pretty confident.

QPR at Loftus Road on Saturday however, not so much.

[Kaney]

Very happy with three points there. Could have had an even bigger scoreline but still good to see Walcott and Ozil get back some gametime.

[FLiam]

Best I've seen us play all season.

Alexis is just unbelievable. We need to be aiming higher than 4th to keep him around. He's the most complete player we've had since Henry.

That Arnoutavic push looked naughty to me on Debuchy, will have to see when I get home. Stoke fans classy as always cheering the face that he was down injured. Oh and their "Ramsey walks with a limp" chant. Very classy.

Also a word for Coquelin, he's taking his chance and then some. Has been outstanding in recent weeks, long may it continue.

[Ant]

How the fuck is Phil Dowd still Reffing?

[Baddar]

Smalling needs to fuck off with the shirt-pulling. It's going to cost us big, one day soon.

[Baddar]

That's shit.

[Whisper]

Bring on Tyler Blackett, concede a goal. Standard.

Terrible today so far - RVP needs a spell out of the side. He has minimal involvement in every game he plays these days.

If we play long enough, perhaps Valencia will run at someone?

Antonio Valencia shouldn't be allowed playuntil he learns how to take a fucking throw-in. Foul throw, every time. Never called!

[brenchill]

The philosophy!

[Whisper]

Awful really. Haven't looked like scoring.

Neville going on about a brilliant Southampton defensive performance. Easiest thing in the world to defend when the opposing team just pass the ball about in front of you for 90 minutes.

[Baddar]

Southampton have played well today. We've been shit.

And yeah, I'll echo what Whisper said - we've made it easy for them today. They closed down well, but had nothing especially difficult to defend against.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

We'll win today. Pretty confident.

QPR at Loftus Road on Saturday however, not so much.

For fuck sake Baddar.

[TCO]

3-5-2 so doesn't work for United and they definitely don't have the right players for it. Koeman played it perfectly and completely neutralised it.

LVG is going to have to invent tactics again.
