The Barclays Premier League Thread 2014/2015

[Berober]

Just you wait, I've still got Downing and Berahino to play this week, my stranglehold on the #1 spot will carry on!

I have Wisdom and Downing to play and Berahino on the bench

Is Jonathan Pearce the secret father to Harry Kane or something?

I know Kane is English and he's in good form, but my god, Pearce's commentary on that match was embarrassing and cringe-worthy.

[MJB]

I give him a lot of stick but Milner's free-kick is brilliant. Such pace and bend, unstoppable.

[Plubby]

How much is Harry Kane worth, Jimmy?

Well, let's do the maths

Premier League player base rate - £5m

Age - (21 and under) = £5m

31 Premier League Appearances - £3.1m

15 Premier League Goals - £3.75m

The 'Daniel Levy's played a blinder' Coefficient - (£5m + £5m + £3.1m + £3.75m) x 3.141

'The Sun' protracted 'Big Four' summer WAR CHEST TRANSFER KITTY Wenger could have signed him aged four transfer SWOOP paradox - ((£5m + £5m + £3.1m + £3.75m) x 3.141) x 2

The English Nationality Principle - (((£5m + £5m + £3.1m + £3.75m) x 3.141) x 2) x 10

Total transfer value = £1,058,517,000 (One billion, fifty eight million, five hundred and seventeen thousand pounds).

Your math is faulty, Wenger DID sign him in a single-digit age. You have to recalculate.

[Gazz]

That's why it's a paradox and not a hypothesis.

[Benji]

Hopefully Nigel Pearson has now given the board the perfect excuse to sack him. Was at the Palace game and we put in an awful performance both physically and tactically, and then I get home to find Pearson has essentially assaulted an opposition player. Never been the guy's biggest fan as a person, but ignored it because he got results, but I'll be more than happy to be rid of him.

[TCO]

Was the McArthur thing not a joke? It looked playful and they were both laughing. It didn't seem anything as bad as Pardew nutting Meyler.

[Sam]

He looked a tad pyscho with the way he was acting, not letting him go, grabbing him by the throat. Weird moment.

He looked like he was joking at first, but then he wouldn't let him go back to the pitch and kept pulling the shirt, player's expression didn't look like it was a joke.

[Whisper]

Has LVG finally dropped 3 at the back for good?

de Gea

A Valencia

Jones

Januzaj

Di María

Falcao

van Persie

Rooney and Januzaj as the two CMs in a diamond :lol:

[Baddar]

I'd expect Blind, Rooney and Di Maria to line up central, tbf.

[Nerf]

Either way there is absolutely no balance to that team.

[brenchill]

Hilarious starting XI

[Baddar]

Believe me, I'd take this line up, which has a lot of attacking intent, over certain 11's we've sent out this season to accommodate the 3 at the back, including Evans and fucking Blackett.

[brenchill]

CROUCH

[Marcos]

Say what you want about the Kane goal yesterday but that Crouch header is the best headed goal of the weekend.

Some finish.

[Whisper]

Either way there is absolutely no balance to that team.

I don't know how there is "no balance" to the team. Rooney has been playing centre mid for a while now and Di Maria likes to run at people from deep, with Blind protecting the back 4.

It's not how I would choose to line us up personally, but to say it has no balance is pretty inaccurate. It's hardly going to be Rooney, Januzaj and Di Maria playing on RVP and Falcao's toes.

Have Downing's corners always been this good?
