The English Premier League Discussion Thread

[yoyo913]

I doubt the players would throw the game, it would have to come from higher up (suggesting the manager doesn't play certain players).

 

[Bobby]

Martinez won't roll over, it's not in his personality. There are managers who would though.

Depending on the teams, I would.

 

[Alex]

I doubt they would rather a Manchester side win the title, but they have pride and they are professionals, not to mention they could have bonuses in their contracts for wins/goals/league position/etc.

I'm friends with a family from Everton (they moved to London about ten years ago) who were regulars at my pub in London. All of them hated Manchester United much more than they hated Liverpool. The rivalry was stronger with Liverpool, but they hated United. They told me a few times before Liverpool vs Man Utd matches that they were supporting Liverpool that weekend. They didn't hate City too much back then, but they do now - mainly because of the way they've bought success.

Sunderland

 

[MaestroZidane]

The one team that is always bottom of the table, but yet has the ability to always surprise the big clubs.

 

[Bobby]

Might be awhile before Fulham sees the Premier League again. Needs a massive rebuild.

 

[Bobby]

Wait, I have to cheer for City?! Gross.

 

[MaestroZidane]

That goal by Barkley... speechless.

 

[Bobby]

Useless ass City.

 

[Mandieta6]

Yeah, useless City.

I feel bad for Fulham, I like having as many London clubs as possible. Hope we make Norwich go down. Other than WBA for Fulham, that'd be my favorite relegation trio. Leicester and Burnley will replace them as well as one of QPR, Brighton, Derby or Wigan. Derby and Wigan have Chelsea loanees so I'm with them.

 

[Bobby]

Brighton would be nice. Ideally I'd like to see Sunderland go down instead of Norwich, I'd like as many southern teams as possible as we don't do well in the north.

 

[chygry]

So looking at the scoreline (i didn't see the match) you can pretty much declare City as the winners.. No words...

Everton fans chanting: "Steve Gerrard, Gerrard, he slipped on his f*cking arse, he gave it to Demba Ba. Steve Gerrard, Gerrard."



Quality.

Steve Gerrard, Gerrard. He cost ManU the title, he passed to Didier Drogba. Steve Gerrard, Gerrard.

I have a soft spot for QPR, as they were my local club when I lived in London. I also see them as one of the historical top flight sides.

 

[Bobby]

They don't care. They even said so.

 

[MaestroZidane]

Cheerleaders for a Football team are rare as the Dodo, aren't they? They're hot though.

On to some football, Liverpool are 3-1 at the moment.

 

[Bobby]

I think Palace are the only team in England with them.

 

[MaestroZidane]

3-2 now

It will be some very tense last 10 minutes.

 

[Filipower]

Will you look at that. What a season.
