The Premier League Thread

Beautiful strike...3-1 Palace.

Sunderland's next five: Arsenal home, West Brom away, Liverpool home, Man U home, Swansea away.

And if the West Brom/Swansea match ends with a winner tomorrow, all but two teams in the league will have at least a point per game through three, all but three will have a win. The Premier League is flat!

 

Puncheon has caused problems for Sunderland all game long. They will be glad to see the back of him.

 

Yes, he had an excellent game (through the middle). I'm glad he was able to get the move he wanted.

 

Good to see the newcomers are finding it easy to beat Norwich and Sunderland.

 

And Man City, if we lose to them, we'll get relegated for sure.

 

Palace absolutely demolished Sunderland yesterday, it makes our display against them even more pathetic.

 

That's the same as saying Everton drew with Cardiff, therefore they should easily beat Man City.

 

God I'd forgotten how horribly negative you are.

 

I really don't see the need for negativity. We have had a good start to the season without hitting our straps yet.

 

****ing hell, the scousers don't half go over the top about Bill Shankly. Now, as you know, I like to respect club history, but come on Liverpool, celebrating someones "birthday" when he's dead is IMHO... creepy.

 

Glad I put Sturridge in a load of fantasy teams today!

 

He's been in mine from the start, what with his form at the end of last season and the lack of Suarez he was always going to hit the ground running.

 

Man Utd looking average so far.

 

If every team in the premier league was evenly matched, no players better than any other, Wenger's team would win the league. It doesn't matter who he plays in attack, his team will score goals, and these will be from open play. He's one of the greatest tacticians of all time, but he will seriously need to catch up on the business aspect of the game to make his Arsenal side competitive once again.

 

That's pretty much what I say to everyone who slags him off - he's not so good in the transfer market but there aren't many who are better tacticians than him. It really isn't a surprise Arsenal have been qualifying for the CL for so long when (IMO) Spurs have had a better squad for a while.

 

I really, really like Michael Laudrup.

 

As in man crush or as a manager?

 

Both, I guess.

 

Likewise.

For all the doom-merchants. We have the same points this season after the same number of games as Manchester United. I'm sure they'll be relegated too.

 

We're gonna finish top 10.
