The Premier League Thread - Part II

As per our usual policy of renewing thread that go over the 1000 posts, when they seem to have an endless life, here's the brand new replacement for the PL thread.

Thought you locked that off topic thread for a minute .

 

Think TSS is spring cleaning!

 

Pardew banned for 7 games. 3 of those are a stadium ban

 

Be interesting to see what happens to their results. I suspect there will be little change...most of the work is done before they run out. The only change will be in subs made...he will not even be allowed to be in contact with the bench.

 

Misses his chance to flash a smile at KL I believe?

 

Nope our game is the first of toichline bans

 

Thanks. I stand corrected.

Pretty scary for West Brom now.

 

I really do fear for them. They have drawn far too many games, and have won the least games in the league - just 4. If they don't win Saturday, I think Mel could go.

 

Wow, I totally missed that they only had four wins.

One of them at Old Trafford, naturally.

 

Stupidest sacking I've ever seen the West Brom one. Well, that I can think of at the moment anyhow.

 

It was absolute madness. I do actually feel sorry for Mel. This job won't do his managerial record any good, and he has been thrown in at the deep end, without his own coaching staff, in mid season. It is very difficult for him.

 

Fulham and Brom made crazy decisions.

 

Death by a thousand draws. If they do stay up now it'll be more luck than judgement. To be fair after all the hype last year, it was only 49 points, which we should beat this season. And obviously there is the Lukaku factor. Four winnable games next up then a tough finish.

 

West Bromwich Albion have released the following statement about Nicolas Anelka:

 

So Anelka won't get compo. The man is a nightmare...his own personality is his major flaw. He has been trouble for every club he has joined...have no idea why teams keep taking risks. Would hate to be his agent...even for the money. I have always said that he should have stayed a few more years at Arsenal. I don't necessarily think he meant anything racist by his gesture, but perhaps he should choose his friends more carefully. A man like Anelka was never going to apologise.

 

Have just remembered that at one point he had a relative as an agent...so no checks and balances there.

 

Didn't this relative/agent suddenly pass away last year?
Maybe it's time he retired now, for me it seems his heart isn't in it anymore.
