Premier League Thread

3 - 0 it's a masacree.

 

Yep both have fortunate ......can't argue with their 3rd though.

 

Absolutely agree. It's not as if they are remotely as boring as Boring Arsenal were when they thoroughly earned that nickname. In fact, Chelsea are moderately entertaining for a club I don't give a hoot about.

 

Arsenal's third goal was superb football, pure and simple. Great vision from Ramsey and a lovely run from Sanchez.

 

Hull have pulled one back. Probably too late now

 

Chelsea looking at signing Rickie Lambert.

That is the most far out rumour since....Rickie was linked with Liverpool.

 

So true Fran. When my Dad texted me to say he had heard Rickie was off to Liverpool, I told him not to be daft...

Someone on Sky (sorry, no idea who as I was in other room) has said that it may be better for Newcastle to be relegated and reborn...citing Saints as an example. Bad example...we had several poor seasons in the Championship before nearly going out of business...West Ham would be a better example as they came straight back up. Newcastle should beware that they don't emulate Leeds....big club, large fan base, but can't get promoted for love nor money. We were a perfect storm....if I was a Newcastle fan, I wouldn't risk my club on that happening again.

 

Indeed. Newcastle are a better buy as they are right now. Ashley clearly has no ambition beyond making a tidy profit so relegation is a non-starter. Perhaps he ought to make one last biggie and let someone in with the right attitude.

 

Ashley has Newcastle in a decent financial position, so he has done them a favour in that respect, but is failing now on the football side due to his lack of ambition. His idea of hanging around mid-table for ever and earning money is at risk if they don't start getting results. It would be time to sell if they save themselves this season, but he will only do that if he gets a nice payday. Perhaps his interest in Rangers was the first sign that he might be looking to move on. Toon fans will hope so.

 

Man Utd agree deal to sign Depay,

"Memphis has gone through all the teams of the PSV youth academy and has played an important part in the national title this year", and then they lose him at 21 years of age.... Dutch youth academy's are just conveyor belts really aren't they, price is reported to be 25-30£million.

 

Yet what is the difference between Kat and Ashley. Ashley hasn't wrote off any loan debt, Newcastle owe Ashley £129m.

Saw this on the Utd forum, they seem to be taking great delight that Depay apparently knocked back Liverpool's advances

Ummm.... bit awkward maybe? I'd be seething as a Toon fan

 

He actually is a very good coach from what I've heard, just a **** manager.

 

Oh I agree, I have no doubt about that at all, just not sure it's what you should be saying in a pre-match presser after losing 8 in a row.

 

I think Alan Pardew might have a valid argument if he bothered to dispute John Carver's claim.
