MikeO Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Villa doing us a favour. Beating W Brom 2-0. I don't see West Brom as a threat at all....decent season but if we're still fighting with them come May we'll be looking at 8th/9th at best.

Fearthainn Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I had forgotten about West Brom tbh. Decent side but they'll probably finish 10th at the end of the season. Getting interesting at the bottom of the table, only ten points between then the 10th and 19th places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirallas Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 What a frustrating game. They are horrible at long balls and distance shots yet they keep doing it. Bennett, Morrisson, Nzogbia, Thomas, Lukaku, all players who have been playing like complete idiots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fearthainn Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Wouldn't mind the current bottom 3 to go down. QPR, Wigan and Reading. Ok, Wigan are a local game but let's face it, they're a League 1 side at best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fearthainn Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Yeah Martinez will probably guide them to safety. That said, even Coventry went down eventually in the 90s and they were the Wigan of the decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 They're looking 'better' this year too because they've announced a financial profit (something they've never achieved in the EPL) so will be able to build their squad. Still, would be funny to see them go. Barcelona lost their first game of the season today too, throwing away a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 against Real Sociedad.

Zoo Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Hope Akpan got the assist on Reading's winner. Would be very generous to give him praise for it though. He had all the time in the world to place his shot and mis-kicked it, luckily for him it landed to Le Fondre who swept home. I personally can't understand the Hope Akpan signing as he was piss poor for us and he dosen't seem to be doing any better at Reading (as the slice wasn't his first mistake).

Zoo Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) Just finished watching the Newcastle verus. Reading game and based on that performance Newcastle are only heading in one direction.

Dalziel Kane Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I don't even know hardly any results from today apart from accidently seeing a couple of outcomes on a link page, one of which was a comprehensive victory for the shite today at Anfield. Cue one or two colorful metaphors. Only concentrating on what's ahead for us and merely let all other fixtures go by the wayside. There's sides I don't like that I hope get beaten by oppositions, but only focusing on what we do for the most part now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinalaff Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I'd love Wigan to go down but sadly it won't happen, they always get out of it. Why would anybody want Wigan to be relegated? They are a North West side, who despite being a Rugby town, have fought their way to the Premier League without a pot to piss in, just like us. They play remarkably good football for a team struggling, and are probably the best value ticket in the division for fans. I doubt very much if the lads who go to away games would want them to go down and Portsmouth to come up. Bailey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Why would anybody want Wigan to be relegated? have fought their way to the Premier League without a pot to piss in, just like us. They actually got the PL by being richer than all the other clubs and spending bigger than any one else. It's only once they've reached the PL that their spending has decreased (or maybe looks that way because there are richer clubs in the PL than there were in the lower leagues).

Avinalaff Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Looking at it again, it seems the Chelsea player dived for the penalty. Had it been Suarez, there would be a few thousand people with nooses and flamed torches waiting outside the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
