Premier League Thread

I've always liked Steve Bruce. Now I like him even more.

 

Lets just agree on 46.

 

Let's not get carried away until we have won a game or two - tonight shows these teams can be tough. However, we have a great record against the bottom teams and it would be wonderful to finish fifth .

 

Obviously anything can happen, and I'm hoping for a Liverpool end of season total collapse lol, but looking at the remaining fixtures of Liverpool, Spurs and us, it would seem we have the easiest run?

 

Not sure we have the easiest run - Leicester away is suddenly looking very tricky and obviously we still have to go to the Etihad.

 

Obviously no guarantees how we will do this season, but we have a good chance of finishing 5th or 6th...very little in it. Mourinho has said that no team dominates the EPL at the moment, so it is all to play for. We have noticed this over the 3 years we have been back in the EPL...and you could say we have taken advantage of it this season. If we had just pulled a few more wins out of the bag, we could have been CL. This could be the time for a team run the right way, playing the right way and with a top manager to step up and get amongst the big boys....does anyone know a team like that

 

Only caught the last 2 minutes and was shocked, not by pool loosing but the thought of Gaston actually finishing a game. Did not realize he came on as a 85 minute sub

 

And he still got tackled about 20 times and got a yellow. He seems to still play at his own pace.

 

Gaston was always a dreamer....always seemed in his own world in the training gallery and videos. Love the little guy, but a frustrating player and delicate as hell. Could never see him at Hull.

 

He seemed to have been sent on by Bruce with the idea of keeping possession and running down the clock. He started off well, with a couple of mazy dribbles going nowhere, but every time ended up surrounded by Liverpool players and inevitably losing the ball. If he'd only passed earlier the last few minutes would have been far less stressful for everyone wanting Hull to win.

 

Wow. Leicester 1 Chelsea 0

 

Leicester 1-0
**** defending

 

Right on half time. Come on Leicester!

 

QPR and Burnley are ****ed for me. One of Sunderland, Villa and Newcastle to go.

 

Leicester win Saturday v Newcastle and we beat Sunderland, then that hits it up a bit. Leicester then safe and wear their flip flops for our game. Villa win too and bring their beach towels to St Mary's! Cheers lads. Please.

 

Jose showing his tactical excellence there. 1-1

 

Well that didn't take long. Drogba

 

Just a thought. How can it be right that some teams have 3 home games out of the last four and only one away. I know everyone plays the same home and away overall, but at the business end of the season, I think that is a slight unfair advantage.

 

Not an answer to your question, but it's been like that for a few years now. We had it in 2013 as well, and I agree, its unfair.

 

2-1 Chelsea. John Terry

Make that 3 Ramires
