The Barclays Premier League Thread 2014/2015

For fucks sakes, I'm going to stop supporting Leicester soon. I hope all three of the little shits get fined and released.

Alan Pardew has to go down as one of Newcastle's greatest ever managers.

I don't even want to bite, but how long is this list of yours?

He's clearly wrong, you'll never top the reign of Ossie Ardiles. That's when I enjoyed watching Newcastle the most anyway!

[Colly]

My first games were under Jim Smith then Ossie, but I didn't see a Newcastle goal until Keegan. 0-0s were great.

1) Kevin Keegan

2) Bobby Robson

3) Alan Pardew

4) Ruud Gullit

Give you a clue: his first name is Alan and his second name is not Pardew.

I thought Pardew had got West Ham relegated from the Premier League before he joined us? I swear he had some experience, if not much.

Turns out he got Charlton relegated from the Premiership and got sacked from West Ham for being shit in the Premiership after finishing 9th their first season up.

So, Jose has ripped Loftus-Cheek a new one for his display against Sydney FC. Apparently, he complained of a back injury, but Mourinho said he only seemed to have the injury when Sydney were in possession.

Good on him for remaining strict even when it's a nothing game.

[stokeriño]

Yeah, José's been praising him a tonne over the past couple of months but has now also pointed out that he needs to pull his weight as well. He only ever says these things in public as a means to motivate (e.g. criticising Hazard last season - whereas the players who actually get sidelined are never really discussed until they're already gone), so hopefully RLC takes it in the right way. Certainly it's timed well to give him something to think about over his summer break.

[TCO]

A month ago John Carver accused Mike Willimason of being sent of deliberately and then he helps keep a clean sheet on the last day of the season to ensure survival.

Mourinho is clearly just copying from the best coach in the Premier League!

[Colly]

Just read that the West Ham game was the first time we won at home by more than one goal since May 2014. No wonder I'm on the verge of heart failure at 32.

[Lineker]

We are playing in the pre season Audi Cup with Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and AC Milan.

So there's that.

[Rich]

Bit weird to have such a small club like AC Milan involved

[Colly]

Adam Johnson has plead (pleaded? Meh.) not guilty.

[Lineker]

Plud.

[Colly]

Plood.

[Lineker]

I foresaw that exact response

[Colly]

Plum.

Adam Johnson has plead (pleaded? Meh.) not guilty.

That's exactly what someone who is guilty would say.
