EPL Discussion Thread Season 2009/2010

[nuggety goodness]

i saw the first 15 or so minutes at the Gym this morning and it seemed to me Everton had it all over Man City... i wasn't surprised when i saw the scoreline later this morning.

makes the Euro spots very interesting...

everything is going down to the wire pretty much, 2 points separates the top 3, 5 teams battling for 4th spot and although relegation has opened up slightly from the bottom 4 Wigan, Wolves and Bolton aren't out of trouble just yet...

what a great season

If we can't, I hope Everton get 4th.

LOL .. Couldn't miss the opportunity.

I'll have my 2 seconds of being polite about Everton ... They have IMHO one of the most outstanding managers in England (can see Man U looking at him once Fergy is gone), he always ensures competitiveness, and once their squad (which is very decent) returned to decent health the results have showed - They can beat anyone on their day (ok, maybe not their neighbours ).

Arteta makes the world of difference to that club, he is genuine class .. Im not upset that we don't have to play the Bluenoses again this season.

Haha fair call! i dont usually heap any praise on your red side either but we have done you a favour in this situation

Moyes is great and should be manager of the year by a mile this season! Given the squad and injuries he has had to work with and the lack of funds i think he has done a superb job! and i dont think many people will disagree with that statement!

Arteta, well where do i start here. As i stated in my previous post he is our go to man and rarely does he let us down! i was suprised at how much space he had given he uses the ball better than any other player in our squad. Everytime he had the ball his passing was spot on, oh and his shot also

Arteta has shown how crucial he is to this squad with a string of class performances since his return.

Theres nobody better than Mikel Arteta, he's the best little spaniard we know

I've been banging on about Arteta for years. He's easily the most underrated player in world football. How he hasn't ended up at a big club is beyond me.

The reason he doesn't get a game for Spain is that he's from Euskadi (Born in San Sebastian - which is a beautiful place BTW). And the Spanish football selectors (Castillians) are fcking racist bastards.

Arteta is actually eligible to play for England, but has stated that he would never take up that option.

Everton badly missed Arteta at the beginning of the season and Jagielka was a huge out too.

He is at a big club

Mark my words he will make his international debut after the World Cup if not before (wont play int he world cup though) and he will become a regular after the World Cup!

Hahaha, Mate, there are only 3 big clubs in England and Everton ain't one of them! (Neither are Spurs or Chelski or Citeh)

I really don't think he'll get the Spain call up unfortunately. I bet Torres and Villa would have double the chances they are currently presented with if Arteta was in the side.

Silly Castillians!

Spain should still win the World Cup though.

Torres would wanna start taking those chances unlike the 2 he fluffed on the weekend

My heartfelt thanks go to the bitters and Sunderland after this mornings results. Never before have I cheered an Everton goal hitting the back of the net like I did when number two went in at Eastlands this morning.

How the heck we are still a show for fourth spot after the shower of shite our season has been up to this point I'll never know.

Hopefully all inflatable objects are kept away from Anfield come Sunday afternoon......

I was watching the Spurs FA Cup game and a huge cheer went up at one point like Spurs had scored. I thought, wow, Gudjohnsen's had a good game, but perhaps not worthy of such a reception for a slick pass to the Hudd. But then my SkySports ticker flicked over to 2-0 and I was just about doing cartwheels too.

He is at a big club

About as big as Newcastle, Leeds and Notts Forrest.

Thanks for the result by the way.

Leeds are a bigger club than Everton

[Dogwatcher]

So, I guess it's time to talk relegation battles now isn't it...

Thank goodness, it looks like the Black Cats are going to be out of that dogfight again.

Wolves have edged themselves out of relegation territory too...

[JK]

I know I shouldn't, but can't help it .. "C'mon Villa!"

2-1. Lampard Double

[JK]

7-1 ... Thats unbelievable!!!

[RoosterMarty]

Pathetic stuff by Villa. Chasing Champions League and they get turned over 7-1.

Kevin Phillips is a legend though.
