The Official EPL 2010/11 Thread

Sorry, please point out where else you think I revealed my ignorance? Will be awaiting your answer.

Wonder whats his take on the Arsenal game - surely (according to his explanation) Squallaci should of also seen red but he didnt - Guess its just MUFC that gets all the favour

Seems like Chelsea can't even win at home

I didn't see that one coming. After an unexpected but very welcome Arsenal win at Goodison, I prepared myself for another routine Chelsea home win and decided I would go do something else as soon as the 1st Chelsea goal went in. A pleasant surprise for me in the end. Good goals and it's always good to see Cashely Cole make a (rare) mistake ;-)
I think that's the poorest I've seen Chelsea in a long time. They never seemed to get out of 1st gear. Makes the EPL all the more entertaining though.

Agreed, this has got to be one of the most competitive seasons of the EPL in a long time. No such thing as an easy game anymore.

I'll grant you that one without saying I agree. So that makes it 4 - 1 in the favour stakes in one matchweek only.

it's only competitive due to the fact the bigger teams are not playing well at all

Dunno what this thing about "teams", but I have to agree... Chelsea have been playing kark lately.

You also have to take into account that the 'smaller' teams might be also playing better and not just parking the bus and hoping they don't get spanked too bad.

Yeah, and no mention of Ivanovic's yellow instead of red yesterday.

Yeah, definitely, and the best thing is, some of the lower teams are playing such attractive football. Some of the best EPL footie I've seen this season has come from Newcastle, Sunderland, Aston Villa and Blackpool.

So no answer to my question then mate? Ignoring questions about wildy BS statements makes you more and more like Cantera. Show me those posts of mine please. Thanks.

You can definitely add West Brom to that list.

Haven't seen them play much, but I believe you.

Well Chelsea had their off day and it looks like they having their bad spell atm. they missing terry,lampard and essien which makes a huge difference in any team. i still see them taking the epl this season. utd is only missing rooney and have been playing kark the whole season. don't see them improving that much. they have been riding on the refs whistle who is on their payroll. arsenal is too inconsistent and will only get into the top 4. mancity is loosing the plot now with all the infighting and a manager who takes off a striker and brings on a defensive midfielder. mancini might be on his way out by jan if the trend continious. as for my team, we need to get rid of Woy. i think he won;t even be able to coach a local psl team.he does not even have a bloody game plan. the only thing he knows is defending which he can't even do.

If i was tevez i'll really be pissed of. he does 40% of the work but yaya who really is a passenger gets the most money.

 

[RanzB]

utd is only missing rooney and have been playing kark the whole season.

Plus Hargreaves, Valencia, Giggs, Owen, Anderson and Owen. Plus it's one thing to say 'only missing Rooney', but he was our highest goalscorer last season.

Apparently Tevez wasn't fit but decided to start anyway. Also, you can't blame Yaya, he's a defensive mid who keeps being asked to play higher up on the pitch.

 

[Stevie G]

Hargreaves - kark
Valencia - average inconsistent winger
Giggs - way past his time
Owen - reject
Anderson - kark

Are you really making such a big fuss over those ****ty average players

 

[Stickfigure]

Lol lets compare these players to the equivalents on your AWESOME!!!!! Liverpool team

Those are very subjective views, dude. And no matter what you say, having those players out as squad players mean the rest get fatigued more often, and the reason United always compete on so many fronts is that we have depth in squad usually.

Haha, I didn't wanna go there.

 

[Stevie G]

i think we on par with our poor players. the only difference is we will be able to buy some players where you guys are cash strapped.

Well, when Owen is our 5th choice striker, and Ngog is your 2nd, I think we win it.

Also, I'll believe that you guys have bundles of money when I see you buying players that aren't ****e, like Poulsen and Konchesky.
