English Premier League 2012/2013

Taylor and J.Cole coming off, Collison and Vaz Te come on after 10 mins!

VALENCIA USED HIS LEFT FOOT AND WE SCORED.

EVERYONE MARK IT IN YOUR DIARIES.

Mah gawd.

Also Bunn is a fucking cunt, been timewasting since the first minutes.

Scored 45mins by Collison! 0-1 west ham

When Rooney, Kagawa and RVP click and they will click the world will explode!!

We've been incredibly average today.

As long as we get 3 points though I won't care.

EDIT: Just as I say that we score again. KAGAWA!!!

Kagawa's finish was stupidly calm. Quality.

I used to like Norwich, but they've been an utter disgrace today. Turned up to stick 10 men behind the ball and make cynical fouls all game long. haven't even tried to play any sort of football.

KAGAWA

Been awesome today.

Oh Kagawa, fucking wonderful!!

ROONEY!! Nice finish!

Kagawa

What a hit Rooney.

Glad we've put some gloss on this, Norwich deserved a drubbing how they turned up for this.

There you go, Norwich haven't even had a shot off target let alone on it. Disgraced themselves today.

Have Norwich even had a shot today?

You sound like Ali when he used to be OUTRAGED when anyone played defensively against Barcelona.


Anyway Newcastle were probably the slightly better side today, but Swansea got that little bit of luck, you win some, you lose some etc.

I don't mind teams playing defensively (honestly, I wish they all did the only teams that every look like making a game of it at Old Trafford are the ones that attack us), but it surely has to be involved in some game plan.

Norwich as far as I could see today were content to have 11 men in their third, cynically foul anyone that got a yard on any player and time waste from the first whistle. They're a better team than that, and the whole league suffers when teams play like that.

How has it taken this long for them to come up with an anti-Benitez banner that's actually funny?

Phew! West Ham got 3 points!

it should be 1-1 Stoke hit bar in 90mins from 25 yards!!!! fuck hell if score!

Wigan are shite, fighting each other and all. 2 good assists from Coutinho though

Hopefully this'll be a proper rout now.

Cracking run from Johnson then, and Suarez bags his hattrick

What a player.

Wigan's defence is horrendous

Meh, id rather finish the season on a decent run than with a whimper.

Especially when you open the season with a whimper.

Team of the Day stats:

1. Jose Reina made six saves, the second-highest total of any goalkeeper on Saturday, and helped the Reds to a clean sheet against Wigan.

3. Ashley Williams made 23 clearances, more than any other player on the day, in helping the Swans to a clean sheet.

4. David Luiz provided the assist for Demba Ba's winner, directed one shot on target and made five clearances (no other Chelsea player made more).

5. Patrice Evra completed 44 of his 47 passes and embarked on five dribbles (only Wayne Rooney attempted more at Old Trafford on Saturday).

Wow! I'm shocked Owen didn't manage 20 PL goals in a season

Carrick's stats in full are ridiculous from today.

38/44 (86%) in the attacking third.
78 of the 119 were forward passes of which he completed 71.
41 were backwards or square and he completed 100%.
