EPL Discussion Thread 2010/2011

[scoob]

I saw bits of this morning and they were ordinary but scored 3. Against us they were average but still won. A sign of a good side is one that is playing ordinary but still rack up wins. United and arsenal are on the home stretch but are starting to show signs of faltering

Man U are Arsenal are not.

Disagree.
Arsenal in form should have no problems disposing of sunderland at home. Reckon their form is a tad off.

Haha, VP, Fab, Wall, make a big difference. Not having a loss for over 12 games doesnt indicate faltering. maybe if they start losing i will agree

A draw is just as bad as a loss - if you draw the rest of your games you obviously dont win the title - major falter I would think... A draw for the title contenders is a terrible result - especially at home, agree the RVP and Fab make a massive difference Asrenal. They both need to be fit and on form for Arsenal to win it... Very very interesting run in... Can't see Chelsea doing it - not without Torres or Drogba firing - signing Torres probably only hindered their title chase for this year. Next year with time to adapt and pick up his dummies he will be ok - but I cant see him and Drogba staying in the same side (two biggest sooks in EPL).

Race in two IMHO

Thats my point though. Chelsea are cherry ripe injury wise and have torres still to hit his straps. United and arsenal are picking up niggly injuries to key players at the wrong end of the season. Chelsea will be sitting back and hoping we draw and kick the crap out of each other this weekend

Drawing the rest of our games is a bit dramatic. Lets just think of Barcelona fr the time being. On a note RVP has been named, I wonder if Wenger played everyone a bit with the extant of this injury? Thoughts anyone

[johntheclaret]

Rvp will have a fitness test before the game
Fabregas is fit and will play
Wilshire is also fit and will play

Barca without their captain and their manager has been in hospital for the last 5 days

He's crafty like that Wenger....Vermaelen has been out with the longest 2 week injury in history.

Captain? Xavi or Iniesta? whats wrong with the captain? Puyol and Pique have been ruled out

[RoosterMarty]

Puyol is their Captain.

[johntheclaret]

Puyol is their Captain.

That's him

[mighty hounds]

Puyol is their Captain.

That's him

I heard Xavi had a calf injury?

Yeah agree, drawing all games is bit dramatic but just trying to illustrate the point that a draw is just as bad as a loss for the top teams.

Will be a cracking return leg vs Barca - best of luck!

[Jim05]

Think you guys can go through but reckon you need to score. Cant see them going goal-less

before messi scored 4 goals last time Arsenal did score first! but barca would feel it more if they scored first again!

You should know these lesser teams will usually get a late consolation goal. Just look what happened Sunday night at Anfield!

yep i watched the game and Foster in goals was unbelievable! MOM by a country mile...

Everton had 22 shots on goal (9 on target) to Birminghams 6 (3 on target). But once again lacked the finishing skills but thats not taking anything away from Foster, he made some crucial saves and if he was not there it could of easily been 4 or 5 to Everton.

Everton dominated possession 59% to 41% for the game and lost Arteta to a hamstring injury which looks as though will end his season.

We have lost Pienaar (to Spurs) Fellaini, Cahill, Arteta, Neville to injuries and i think will have to settle for a mid table position now
