EPL Discussion 2011-2012

[mighty hounds]

you have been saying it for weeks now Jim, not just a spur of the moment

I agree with Jim. We are all playing for runners up now.

Metersacker is rubbish

Havnt called you a 1 man team before but what i will go on record as saying that Van Persie is the most important player in the EPL and that you would definately struggle to win without him

That's better. It's like man utd with Rooney he's hardly scored the last month and man utd struggle when he doesn't. When he's scoring they look awesome

[Bully]

maybe not straight - your a one man team. But examples of ....take him oout and your gone and would be no where. To me that means we are a one man team.

What ever the case he is keeping us going yes, but its not all him. Fatastic player, when he aint injured

no it sounds worse than it is.
Its more of an accolade to Van Persie on how good he is. Yes you have plenty of other good players who lay off the passes and set up his goals but I wonder how many guys would be able to finish as good as him. His greatest asset is how clinical he is when he gets in on goals, a lot of players would spray their shots or not score. That is why he is so important to your side. Unfortunately you guys are similar to us, If Van Persie or Rooney dont score we look ordinary whereas City have about 4 or 5 players that could all step in and fill the breach. That is why I think City will win the league, all of the chasing clubs just dont have the depth, they have 3 or 4 on the bench that would walk into either of our sides

[Bully]

we dont have the depth, nor the money to buy ever player in the world

announced loss for man city last week of 195 million pounds, $429 million aussie dollars. And what happened to FIFA fair play rules that are ment to be in place to stop ridiculos amounts of money being thrown around

[Jim05]

The Chavs drop more points, going down 2-1 to Liverpool thanks to an 88th minute winner by Glen Johnson.
Roman's patience would be running thin, first time Chelsea have lost consecutive home games in 9 years.
Torres came on with 5 minutes remaining and was given a warm welcome by the travelling scouser fans
That loss has left them 12 points behind City and 7 behind United. It has opened the door for Spurs who will go to 3rd with a win over Villa tonight.

[Bully]

chelski are a rabble. like us in the first few weeks of the season.

Sorry but i think terry,cole,lampard have seen their better days. They have seen their days during the EPL title wins in the past few years. Take nothing away from them mentioned, they were good in their days, but not so now.

I expect a new manager at chelsea by the end of the week. the silverspooner wont like this and will make changes. Maybe he should look at the players, not the manager.

[Jim05]

Still think Terry and Lampard have a bit to offer but to me Chelsea havnt been the same since Torres arrived. I blame Abramovich not the manager or players. Its amazing how 1 player can stuff up a set up. At the time Torres was brought Chelsea had no problems scoring but were a little fragile in defence so what does Roman go and do? He goes out and buys another striker just to boost his ego even though Ancelotti didnt want him, then the best striker in the EPL in Drogba gets his nose out of joint because Torres is playing and not him. Drogba has lost all form, Torres cant score and at the end of the day they sacked a proven great manager and their defence is still fragile. Abramovich has done a great job in turning the club into a force but he has way too much power, i cant imagine Glazer ever telling Fergie who plays in what position or buying players without consulting him

I would have to agree.

rumours are surfacing that Arsene has stated that if he doesnt win any silverware this season, he will step down as manager of Arsenal at end of season, or when its not possible for us to win anything

He will be there well into the new year then. Arsenal will have a good cup run IMO and should get to quarters of Europe at very least. The league is the only one you wont be able to win.

[Jim05]

Spurs defeat Villa 2-0 and move to 3rd on table. Still have game in hand and can get within a point of United with a win

[devilsadvocate]

Gonna win the league!

[JK]

**** me, Joe Hart is a star .. Buggered if I know how we didnt score in the 2nd half!!

1-1 at Anfield.

[Jim05]

Nice own goal by Lescott.
Great to see Knobotelli sent off

[devilsadvocate]

Thankyou Liverpool!

Best keeper in the world at the moment IMO.

[Bully]

agreed. mind you there second keeper is 6'8 he is a giant. teams will struggle to get anything past him also

[Swooper16]

Zelko Kalac was about that height....but teams didnt have too many problems banging goals in against him.

[Jim05]
