Premier League Thread

Just looked at Wigan's results, and it's pretty coincidental: they won their 12th game against a low team (Portsmouth!), just as we'd expect to beat Villa. They then lost their next 5 games to Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United, respectively.

We're better than Wigan though, but it is coincidental. If you want a proper coincidence, google JFK and Abraham Lincoln similarities.

 

Rojo and koscielny are both likely to still be out. Only one likely to be back is kompany

 

Kompany's the important one. Their defence is dog **** without him. Demichelis and Mangala have all the organisational ability of a boiled potato.

 

JA606 is a good laugh this evening

 

Yeah and some are worried about you lot

Any manager that is building his side for the future around Jack Wilshere as a deep lying playmaker needs a right proper bashing..............and I was one of those calling for Hodgson when the media were proclaiming that Harry was 'the people's choice'.

 

My attempt

 

This is precisely their point though. So what Arsenal had 3 key players out. The supposed reason the top teams will catch us is that they have such strength in depth.

 

imp it was us that had 3 key players out ..

 

Do you have key players?

 

No, they only have one Ki player.

 

he wants rodriguez, he's offering one meellion dollars.

(obligatory counter offer of a schmoke and a pancake)

 

No ****ing way is Adebayor on £180k a week? In a Mirror article it said he is.

That's what you get when you leave out the all importantly placed comma. Without punctuation you can expect confusion.

 

No you can't go back to Southampton !

Edit: damn the picture hasn't worked :/

 

5.8m a year apparently. contract runs out 2015. So that is £110k a week?

 

Just been reading Martin Keown's further analysis of Arsenal's failure to maintain a lead. I amazed myself at my own level of interest, but that's another story. What stuck with me was the look on Sanchez's face.

This photo is captioned by the description of Arsenal's dejected players. Yep, they all look disappointed. But I've seen that look on Sanchez's face several times this season [and I haven't been looking out for it] and I reckon he's going to be looking for a way out soon. I bet he wonders wtf he landed himself in at times. How the hell did he pick a club that keeps making fundamental errors on the pitch when he is playing on a level the players around him can only dream about.

Come to Southampton, Alexis. We don't make basic errors, and we have the data to back that up, too.

 

Oh dear, Edin Dzeko is out with a lengthy calf injury. What a shame. I was hoping Jose would get a chance to whack the diver for his ability to fall while being brushed by the warm air of a close defender.
Looks like I won't get the chance to see Jose do it:

Nice article by Guardian about unsung heroes in the PL. There are two Southampton players on the list, Ryan Bertrand and Jose Fonte. No Davis, sadly. One comment bellow the article says: Poor old Steven he's so unsung he can't even make it into a list of unsung players
