English Premier League 2012/2013

Stoke.

Can't see them changing the way they play in the time they've got to turn things around.

Stoke, for the love of god please!

Think Stoke will stay up tbf, all their games left are with teams around them, except Spurs at home. Will be close though

For ages I've felt the last place will be between the loser of the Wigan-Aston Villa match on the final day. Still could be, but I think Villa and Wigan have enough to stay up. Same with Sunderland, Norwich and (despite yesterday) us.

Which leaves Stoke... they're doing what Reading did in 2008, which is get to a high position in mid-season and then embark on a tailspin they seem to have no way out of. Looks like it's down they go.

Wigan are in good form but they've got some very tough fixtures, starting with City on Wednesday, plus Spurs home and Arsenal away I think. I hope this isn't the year they fail to get out of it, would much rather Stoke or Villa go down (out of those two I'd rather Stoke).

Might have a go at that BBC predictor thing when I get a bit of time.

Sunderland as I put money on them a few weeks ago. Or Stoke.

I hope Wigan can stay up, and I've changed my mind on Villa and hope they stay up.

Details of NBC's PL coverage starting next season

Finding decent streams is about to get so much fucking easier now that every single game will be televised

Wigan or Stoke for me, really wouldnt mind either going down aswell. Prefer Stoke to go though naturally

Nerves have gone to shit. Massive game for us. Osman is missing, Ross Barkley is starting in his place as a second striker. Fucking massive game for him and he needs to step up to the mark. I've been getting flash backs of "REMEMBER THE NAME, WAYNE ROONEY" all day so seeing as Barkley is 22/1 to score the first goal I've stuck a tenner on him...

Same. I can't stand Di Canio as well.


As for tonight



That'd be great

Barkley is a dirty scummy cunt.

Sitter there for Giroud.

Don't know how Gibson didn't get a second yellow for that body check. It was a lot worse compared to Pienaar's one a couple of minutes later, which was rather soft.

Anichebe has the touch of a rapist. He's almost made the Arsenal attack look good.

Yeah, Anichebe is mind-numblingly average, Everton should have a far better starting striker.

Ref was shite

So what I gathered about Arsenal:
They're only chant is "Handball!"
Wilshere and Walcott are diving little scrot rots.
When Arteta played for us he was probably the most fouled player in the league, I can't remember him ever once getting in the referees face complaining, asking for someone to be booked, or saying that someone threw an elbow. Obviously you get that type of behaviour coached into you judging from today.

From us:
Why the fuck did we repeatedly insist on hoofing it to Anichebe who was never going to beat Mertesacker? He's only ability is when the ball is played into his feet and holding it up or turning his man.
Ross Barkley has matured incredibly.
Jagielka is a fucking warrior. Fellaini is an immense holding midfielder, it's a ball ache deciding wether to play him further up or not because he is class in either position.
Gibson was lucky to not see a second yellow.

We sat back too much near the end, the result could of gone either way. You know Moyes has settled for a point when in brings on Scotlands greatest ever export, the one and only messiah, Steven Naismith.

Oh and I didn't realise Sky employed Arsenal FC TV commentators, so much for being impartial.

Cardiff in the Premier League next year. Well at least we're guaranteed two European trips next season.

Can't be any worse than Radio Sunderland's commentary team on Sunday, can it?

Cardiff supporters celebrate on the pitch following their sides promotion to the Premiership...

Arteta has always been dirty - in a Yohan Cabaye kinda way. And Leighton Baines must be one of the worst offenders for getting in a referees face and demanding decisions and cards.

No one at the City - Wigan game \o/

I fucking hate Upton Park.

What a wank goal to concede.

aye, Ferdinand was beaten far too easily for that cross, we're always crap at Upton Park anyway tbf

Also bonus points for accurately guessing where Rooney and Jones are actually playing.

a game like this is crying out for Welbeck

Kagawa you fucking beauty, cracking goal that.

that was fantastic from Kagawa, nice for Valencia to get a goal too

Fuck my sideways, Valencia is on the pitch.

Kagawa you sexy cunt.
