The Barclays Premier League thread 2015/2016

Great performance, great point. 

There isn't a better sight in football than John Terry throwing a tantrum.

[Baddar]

Swansea were very good today.

[Colly]

Some of Shelvey's passing was absolutely outstanding, were it not for Gomis' Cisse-esque tendancy to be offside he'd have had 2 or 3 assists.

[stokeriño]

The silver lining is that Begovic looked good...because he'll need to be at the Etihad next week.

[brenchill]

All of a sudden signing Begovic doesn't look quite as silly. (for a few weeks)

[TCO]

Nobody said it was a silly signing for Chelsea, it was a stupid career move by Begovic regardless of the 3 game run he'll get.

I have no idea how well we played but our starting line-up fills me with confidence for the season ahead.

[Summers]

I've not seen anything, but from what I've read the first half we weren't great, got better in the second. Sherwood made the right changes at the right time. Away at Bournemouth first game of the season is hard for anyone. Big potential banana peel, and normally (especially the last few years), we woulda slipped on that. So it's refreshing to see us deal with it and win.

Gana, Amavi, Richards and Veretout make our starting line up so much stronger. Ayew will get better as he settles, and for me Gestede should start a bunch this season. He'll bully defenses and score goals.

[Colly]

Grumpy Jose is my favourite Jose. Also he's looking porky.

Catch me up guys please, how many clear cuts penalty shouts did the ref not give Man City today?

Isn't it 1 game? Wasn't a violent conduct red.

[Kaney]

All of them.

0, they play on Monday

I assumed straight red = 3 games, violent conduct or professional foul etc? I have no basis for this other than assuming though!

I could be wrong but I think a professional foul is just a 1 game ban - but possibly a 2 game ban if they get sent off again? Not too sure. 

Quick Google search...

The following rules apply to Premiership, F.A. Cup games, and friendlies. ... or for serious professional foul relating to a goalscoring opportunity, 1 match ban. ... Players sent off for second time in season, extra 1 match ban.

Don't know how recent that is as I didn't bother clicking the link, but yeah.

They still should've had three.

[TCO]

That's nice for Begovic so, he'll get at least 2 League appearances, the Capital One Cup and potentially a dud Champions League game or 2!

[Colly]

It's a one game ban, unless the ref decides it was violent conduct, which it wasn't.

[Summers]

Sunderland look shit. Defense looks a shambles.
