The Official 2014/15 Premier League Thread

Entertaining to watch no doubt but best game of season? I hope not. Horrendous defending (the majority coming from Everton...), terrible standard of refereeing (Lukaku was called offside when Terry was playing him on by 2 meters, tip of the iceberg) and a lot of players just being clams.

Thought Tim Howard had a shocker today as well, don't remember him making too many saves and he had some bad luck with a few of the goals but he just didn't seem to have everything covered....I think the save from the Belgium keeper from the Belgium winger was a key point, sometimes you just need your keeper to do something amazing, Howard seemed more concerned with the linesman most of the time

BFS slates his players in post match interview and looks a bit Brahms. Pulis in soon I'd guess.

Southampton look tidy. Regretting betting on them for relegation tonight.

Koeman seems to be doing a job for sure. Not sure you can read that much into today's result though.

As long as he just keeps it ticking along they'll do fine. Once he starts replacing the current squad with inferior players the decline will set in though.

No. That would be Australia v Croatia 2006 World Cup.

My word how many wrong decisions were shown in the MOTD highlights, terrible officiating

 

[markysimmo]

BFS moaning about the officials again, carry on at WHU you're doing a fine job mate, long may it continue

 

[Mumorn]

go on Leicester.

 

[markysimmo]

Love the way Gooner TV keeps on backing Sanogo like he is going to be the new Messi, funnily enough Lamela hasnt had the same backing from the media

 

[Mumorn]

really like Mahrez, such a talent. Only cost 500k

 

[markysimmo]

Nice kick out by the Polish twunt in goal, as expected the commentators didnt see that

 

[Yossarian]

Crumbs of comfort: Scum, Everton & Manure have all dropped more points than Spurs so far this season.

@ConorMcNamaraIE: Just your regular arrival of Playboy Bunnies after the game at Leicester.

For those that have watched La Liga, and in particular Atletico Madrid under Simeone, what would you say are the tactical similarities and differences between Simeone and Mourinho?

I find it interesting that Mourinho seems to have particularly targeted signings from Athletico this summer; I wonder if they'll thrive or hot plateaus under Mourinho's tactics:-k

I think that Athletico and Mourinho have quite different approaches but Mourinho has always liked physical/athletic players and I think that it is this, rather than tactics that attracted him to them.

Interesting. Can you go into more detail on what you feel the differences are?

Cool. Happy to wait

Thanks *no pressure*

Come on Emirates Marketing Project !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Denmark Spur]

No Yaya Toure and Nasri for City - and Lampard and Milner in the starting 11

Demichelis also still in instead of Mangala

Fear Arsenal have quite a good chance here

Really can't work out how either of Wheelchair or Ozil get into the AFC team ahead of Carzola
