The Premier League Thread

Not a great record is it

 

Haha yeah well there is that but I think they'll prove to be over the season.

 

16 pts from a possible 60, opening day wins are an "I was there" moment. WBA was one of the wins but can anyone remember who the other was?

 

Coventry.

 

Weren't they under Strachan too?

 

Any excuse to show a bit of Matty magic...

 

Wish I could have gone to Highfield Road

 

Think Citeh will win it again with the Scousers a lot closer. I'm hoping that Arsenal and Spuds make up the CL as I want to see Maureen lose his **** and **** off out of English Football and the same with Abramovich at the Chavs.

 

Never had the "pleasure" myself, my mate said it was quite rough in the '80s with loads of Skins. Didn't the 657 infamously attack the disabled section there once?

 

Spuds stadium delayed with an announcement of Liverpool and Cardiff both being at Wembley.

Surely there's got to be a limit before they have to play there all season?

 

I think if they try to delay again then I think they should be told to **** off and play at Wembley all season.

 

I like Wrighty but what a load of bollocks this is:

I agree that sometimes fans pick unreasonably on one player....we see it at Saints....but I don't see this as racism. Otherwise all black players would have suffered the same. Of course some of it could be racism from some low-lives who jumped on the band wagon when they saw a chance to drag themselves from the gutter and sneer at someone else. Not sure this helps Stirling either.

The gun tattoo was beyond foolish....he explained the meaning to himself, but doesn't seem to have grasped how it may appear to impressionable youths. Don't get how he could be criticised for shopping at Primark and buying a house for his Mum....sounds a lovely lad....can I adopt him?

 

I agree with you but if he keeps this nonsense up I'll soon put him on ignore.

So I see you Southampton fans (along with the fans of Crystal Palace, West Brom, etc) are pretty much irrelevant to the club nowadays, as you're no longer needed. Shows how messed up football is.

 

I’ve been saying this for a long time. A reduction in ticket prices is not only desirable, it would be insignificant to the club.

 

I've never liked him since this http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sport/football/39452.stm. Playing the race card is a new low though.

 

Disagree about the Gun tattoo. Gangs and guns were about long before he was even born and will be about long after he has died. People crying/whining about the message it gives out to young people of today is the real joke. The world is a war zone at the best of times and some footballer having a gun drawn on his leg has no bearing on that what so ever. Gun crime etc will not rise because of his tattoo , if someobody wants to shoot someone they will do it regardless of what some footballers artistic taste is. He’s just an easy target I personally feel sorry for the guy.

* That’s not personally aimed at you Fran, just my general opinion on the subject.

 

Spurs delay in opening their new ground confirmed as being due to safety concerns raised by the construction company....though not clear whether that is a real concern or a case of being behind in building so haven't got a safety certificate. Season ticket holders are getting a refund of 1/19 price....per match moved I assume. Not clear whether that is on top of getting a ticket at Wembley or they have to use their money to buy a Wembley ticket. May be a problem with EUFA as all your home games have to be played at the same venue...so in theory if they play a round at Wembley, all other matches will have to be played there.

 

They've already been given permission to use Wembley for their first home game so a couple more wouldn't make a difference.
