The Barclays Premier League thread 2015/2016

[stokeriño]

Baba starts. RLC starts. Azpi at RB. Costa back. Hazard/Matic/Cahill benched.

Cautiously optimistic...

[Gazz]

Happy with that half. Just about the better side against an in-form Spurs at the Lane. Bit toothless up front, but we're playing our fourth choice striker, so it's to be expected.

Surprised that there's already a bit of a Klopp stamp on this side after just four days full training.

Every ffootballer knows the Dortmund Model. 

[Szumi]

With how depleted our front line is, I'll happily take a scoreless draw away to Tottenham. We got lucky at parts to keep a clean sheet, but I like what I saw overall. Can was really impressive. Imagine what happens when you play people in their natural position.

[Hobo]

Lineker met Sahko!

[stokeriño]

We scored a goal that wasn't from a Willian freekick!

[Baddar]

2-0 up at HT, yet I'm still feeling pessimistic. 

[Baddar]

Good win! Nice easy one next Sunday, too...

[Whisper]

Said before this run of games that if we were still within a result of City I'd be happy. I'd still take it but that performance gives me hope that we can go and win next week, especially if Aguero and Silva are out.

[FLiam]

Love the fact Aaron Ramsey has become the pantomime villain purely because someone caught him on the back of his head with their knee and he had the audacity to be hurt.

[Baddar]

BOOOO Ramsey BOOOO.

[Kaney]

Ramsey is such a shadow of the player he was two years ago. He's clearly not bad he just seems to to be missing all sorts of chances lately.

That's really harsh on Watford.

[FLiam]

I love that Chilean.

[Baddar]

He's such a knob.

Giroud puts the game to bed.

[Kaney]

Giroud 

[FLiam]

Giroud. Super sub. Lovely assist from Özil too.

Apparently only Aguero has scored more PL goals than Giroud over the last 3 seasons. Baffling statistic considering how shit Giroud is.

To steal one from @MDK , Ramsey completes the fingering. 

[Kaney]

How is Giroud shit? He's not Leo Messi but he does a perfectly serviceable job. He's got a great first touch and can finish well.

Sarcasm can sometimes be tricky Kaney...

I'm a big fan of his. He's not world class, but he's a very good striker.

[Just Joe]

Pantillimon needs shot with shit for the goal we conceded today like. Well, that's the way I saw it after 4 pints and that's a lot for me...

[Kaney]

There was no smiley therefore it wasn't sarcasm
