Premier League Thread

Never said it was meh and I agree about how every part was intended, there was jus just some fantastic goals last month. The more I see Austins goal the higher I rate it as well though, very hard to do what he did there.

 

On another note... Anyone else think 'Arry might be next manager to go?

 

Pure Teflon.

 

De Maria's came first, Pelle second, Someone else came third. Of those three I think they chose the wrong one as the best.

At the time, I thought Austin's goal was excellent, and only slightly below Pelle's goal in personal skill and quality. I notice Morgan's goal against Newcastle didn't even get a nomination. You'd think a 40+ pass move, with flicks and back heels included, that ended with a curved shot just inside the upright, might have least been a contender. Of course, if it had been ManU...?

 

On the subject of Manure, I heard on BBC606 last night that Rooney came in for some criticism because he wasn't playing..! That is, ManU were better without him.
The subject became a little wider, as it always does, when the media talk about Wayne Rooney. I was ][ far away from texting in to say that nobody actually dislikes Rooney. What they dislike is the media's obsession with him and ManU. The football public would like him a whole lot better if the media would just get off his subject and talk about their club instead. My text would have been something along the lines of...

BBC606: Please stop talking about Wayne Rooney. We don't dislike him. We would rather you just spent a decent amount of time talking about the clubs that make up the meat of the Premier League. For example, Southampton, Sunderland, Stoke City, Swansea, just to name some esses for starters. Would it be too much to ask for a ManU, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, ManC free programme once in a while..? I'm willing to bet that most club supporters DON'T want to hear about them all the time. They want to hear comments about their club. Be the programme that takes a break from the Arsenals and Chelseas. The other fans might just start calling in, in numbers then. Oh, and please don't answer this text with a We do, because you can't wait to get back to talking about the big clubs and their news.

Instead, the programme ended and I thought better of it. But one day..!

 

Sky saying Redknapp's new contract talks at QPR are on hold. Redknapp says he doesn't need a new contract and wants to concentrate on the football. No change is imminent apparently, but sounds like neither party wants to tie themselves down for longer at the present.

 

I imagine he's already making plans to get them back up.

 

So would I, Harry: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/11524650._/?ref=mac

 

Newcastle keeper Tim Krul has ligament damage in arm.

Rio Ferdinand facing FA charge after sending an insulting tweet to a fan who suggested QPR needed another CB. How old is this guy? Rio chose to insult the fan's mother rather than ignore tweet or answer it properly.

Liverpool up to their old tricks?

 

Sterling to get a red this weekend to aid his recovery......now that would be amusing.

 

And we give them a spanking

I didn't like it when it said about our lads "warming to their surroundings" at Anfield! Sounds like Gazza had a good game, is he getting better?

 

Seager now scored 6 in 5 games...on form at the moment.

 

QPR apparently cover the least ground during a match than any other team. I know stats don't tell the whole story, but each of their players run over 1 km less than every Burnley outfield player. Says something about effort I would think.

 

Sturridge out for 4 more weeks. Try blaming Roy for that Brendan.

 

Some-things going to happen to Stirling today, I can feel it.

 

No Liverpool fan (obviously) but feel for Sturridge...hope this is not a start to continuing problems during his career.

 

Nah, like Brenda says, they bought loads of players in the summer in case of this.
