Premier League Thread

So West Ham being good makes the Premier League worse? Pretty odd view.

 

Nope, not at all. He's the new Andros Townsend.

 

Hmmm not sure I agree mate! We shall see!

 

Shame Spurs won, but I was pleased to see how Villa lost it since we are playing them soon. They didn't know what to do even when they were ahead...very encouraging.

 

No, just a pretty odd pick. I shouldn't be surprised. You were bound to do that.

 

Have to say my mind was playing with that. Was thinking are we that good if WHU are right behind us, then realised that was daft. People could equally say that about us, but a shake up in the league is a good thing.

 

A referee will have his view blocked from time to time. It happens. Get over it.

 

Is he? With 7 goals from 11 appearances so far this season, many of those as a sub?

 

I still don't rate him. He tends to get most of his goals in the Europa League, against second-rate opposition to my mind.

It'd be interesting to see him get a good run of games, so we could potentially dispel the myth for once and for all.

 

Quinn/Souness/Redknapp singing our praises there on the post-match.

 

Someone on Twitter tweeted to say that it looks like David Salas was the brains of the operation at Saints after all.

David replied! He said "BUAHAHAHAHA HAPPY HALLOWEEN SAINTS!" and "I can neither confirm nor negate that. "

 

Brilliant .

 

Saying?

 

Despite looking dreadful vs QPR, Benteke looked pretty useful in the first half today (although Kaboul does seem to have lost it this season). So seeing him banned for our game is certainly a plus.

 

I waited over 4 hours for your response Tom, and that is all you have? I'm disappointed.

P.S You can't seriously say Oliver had a good game today

 

I didn't say that, but referee's do have their view impeded sometimes. It's inevitable with one pair of eyes and 22 other bodies on the pitch.

 

Don't you just hate that..? A quick singing our praises and gone. That's simply not enough..! We need a blow by blow account.

 

That Poch was lucky to have a set of players with a great mentality, who bought into his methods no questions asked (and that this mentality clearly still exists through our club looking at our start this season). Basically a nod to the underlying system, recruitment and ownership of our club. However he doesn't have that at Spurs, he'll need time and that they bought badly.

 

He didn't look at all happy on the touchline today did he? Shame that.

And Levy was doing his best Nosferatu impression.

 

Pochettino waving an imaginary card at the ref during that brawl. Lamela too.

Friedel essentially said on MOTD2 that Ryan Mason was tasked with winding Villa up and trying to get one of their players sent off. Also admitted that Mason put his head in on Benteke. Might have been too honest for your own good there, Brad.

Dirty, horrible club.
