Premier League 2015/16

[alex_front2]

It's all about motivation and respect to the fans for the reason Klopp makes the! Salute to the fans
OK OK, only messing about. For me it's still my no 3 funniest moment of season

[Mystic Mock]

I'm disgusted that Alli gets a 3 match ban for the uppercut on Yacob, yet Yacob gets nothing for constantly fouling Alli throughout the whole match.

Biased or what towards West Brom?

He punched a player in the stomach for no reason how would he not be banned :umm2:

[Mystic Mock]

I'm not saying that Alli shouldn't be banned, but to make out like he wasn't constantly provoked by Yacob through the whole game with constant fouls from Yacob is twisting history A LOT!

That is part of the game and not ban worthy

[Mystic Mock]

If the Referee had've spotted them during the game then he would've had a second bookable offense thrown at him.

[Alf]

Absolute class from the Everton club and their fans.

Brimming with pride to be an Evertonian today.


"He ain't heavy, He's my Brother"

The Justice and Truth shirt that I saw Howard wearing during warmups was cool.

[Shaun]

The one time I put Gomes in goal on my fantasy football team, Villa decide to be a football team :inamood:

c'mon magpies!!!!!!!!!

[GiRTh]

Not gonna do a Giroud rant, shall leave it to the MOTD pundits. 15 touches in the first half, nuff said. Put it this way, Welbeck comes on after 55 minutes and is comfortably man of the match.

[Shaun]

It hurts me to say (because he's so pretty... that's basically the only reason why lol... but even then this beard has ruined most of that appeal) but he's got to go </3

As good as Newcastle's result today was I still think they'll go down against Tottenham... hoping they survive though.

The sheer nerve considering he hasnt scored in twenty one games while his team mate has broken the league record for chances created in a season; he's got a set on him for sure. :joker:

21 games without a goal and this is how he behaves when he gets an assist. Nothing wrong with the dressing room at Arsenal or the attitude of the players according to the manager. :shrug:

[Mystic Mock]

Arsenal were very lucky to win today, but tbf that's a sign of a good team I suppose when they get 3 points when they was the weaker team on the day.

I think that Sunderland will stay up at the end of the season as they've got the most fight in them when I see them play.

[Alf]

Once again the Everton fans are showing their class

An Everton fan gave away his tickets to a young Leicester fan for the game next week, so that he could potentially see his team lift the trophy, and many more are set to do the same.

[Mystic Mock]

What a match today, both Man Utd and Leicester should be proud of themselves as that's what I call fighting for the win, it's probably gonna be a top 10 game of the season I reckon.

And just going slightly off-topic for a second, I was just doing some studying up on the 1930 World Cup, and did you know that Brazillian Gilberto De Almeida Rego blew for full time six minutes earlier than he was suppose to in a match between Argentina and France? And ironically this one involves Argentina again, but did you know that Ulises Saucedo awarded three penalties in the Argentina vs Mexico match? And that Ulises Saucedo managed Bolivia in the exact same tournament? And that in a match between Bolivia and Brazil that both teams was wearing the exact same strip in the first half?

But to be honest with you, it's not the kind of facts I research.

[alex_front2]

#ManuLei That was a great match.

Pity for MAN U fans that they didn't show this bite earlier.

Still think Spurs can cause a huge upset and win EPL, can't believe bookies have priced it Spurs title at 16-1 (Chelsea would have to score 10 own goals if it came down to final day).

I don't normally research it either, it's just that lately I'm brushing up on certain areas as I want to broaden my knowledge a little bit in conversations.

[MTVN]

Pathetic from Spurs, not even going to make Leicester work for it

[Alf]

Can Selby make it a unforgettable day for the city of Leicester?


Well done Leicester City!

[SocietyIsRuined]

Congratulations To Leicester and well done To Claudio.

He was unfairly sacked by Chelsea and deserved this.

[Alf]

I think Nigel Pearson deserves a bit of credit, this is the team he built and who was in charge when this run started at the back end of last season.

[GiRTh]

Well done leicester. Great season.

[alex_front2]

Spur have cost me £1000, really let me down.

[Drew.]

Unbelievable night, that game couldn't have gone any better. Spurs showing themselves up to be the thugs they are, at least 3 of their players deserve bans for stamps, punches and eye gouging. Well and truly bottled it.

Leicesters title is a once in a lifetime achievement. Never thought they'd pull it off after their quick start at the start of the season. So jealous of their fans tonight though

That's just the Arsenal fan in you saying that, and I understand your loyalty to you're team (nothing wrong with it), but for me Spurs don't need to be slated in that way, they've had a great season themselves, and for me have been the most attractive and best footballing team in the league this season.

It's annoying playing second fiddle to your inferior club local rivals isn't it? I know all to well being an Everton fan and seeing them come behind the lesser team in Liverpool.

[Shaun]

It takes something special to play against Chelsea and come across as the team with the most violent divas :pipe: quite right Drew

[Alf]

I have no problem with players showing passion and fight, it shows they care.

And it also shows they care, when, when it's lost, they lose their cool.

It's laughable that you think it's just the Arsenal fan in me saying that. I'm sure fans from all across the country agree with what i've said about their conduct tonight.. in fact i know they have because i've been reading twitter all night. I don't know how anyone can condemn Lamela stamping on Cesc, Dembele poking his fingers in Costa's eye and the general punches and kicks thrown all game. Not to mention Alli getting a ban just recently for punching. They've been at it all season, I remember Alli getting away with kicking a Fiorentina player pretty badly in the chest whilst he was down.

http://dispute.press/medias/thumbs/2016/02/19/1455874268_934118771_380_.jpg

Not having the right to criticize a team and their behaviour because of the way they've played this year is everything thats wrong with football and journalism in this country. So many journalists are especially shrugging off what Alli has been doing just because he's Englands new golden boy.

I wouldn't say we're playing second fiddle. We're 3 points behind them, big chance we can still finish above them with the bans they've got coming their way. Both having a trophy-less season, Spurs haven't won the league in 55 years, 8 years since they last won a trophy, we've won 4 trophies in the last 3 seasons. Like i said to Alex Font.. everyones getting way too ahead of themselves. Yes they've played some good stuff, but this is in a league where every team has underachieved this season, and they've still come out with nothing to show for it.

[Shaun]

5 trophies actually!!!! That glorious Emirates Cup last July :pipe:

So you're coming at it from a media point of view, instead of a rational human point of view.

Sometimes sport gets heated, so what?

They certainly don't deserve the Headline of "Thugs" just because a London derby with everything on the line, got a little bit heated.

I'm not using it as a media point of view, i had my own opinions on it before i started reading twitter.

I'm fine with all the heavy tackles and challenges, that's part of the sport and that's how the game was played years ago so that side of the game is refreshing to see. But gouging someones eyes and intentionally stamping on them is not an excuse because the game got a little bit heated or that its a London derby.. fact is they bottled their chances of winning the league and they showed themselves up by becoming violent and thuggish. Whatever word you want to use to describe them.. bottom line is it was violence. They were intentionally trying to harm another human. I use the word thugs because it's not the first time they've done this, previous bans prove it. If it was a one off then fair enough, but it's not.

Cantona inspired a dynasty at Old Trafford, and he used to beat up the fans.

Thats such a weak excuse and outlook on why we've failed this season. Leicester didn't get where they are now behaving like Spurs did tonight did they? Our failures on the field are down to a lack of talent in certain positions and a complete lack of man management skills to give the players the belief and confidence they need. If Arsene was going out there every game telling his players to start kicking out and punching players we'd be a lot worse off than we are with the bans we'd be given.

[GiRTh]

Cant agree with you Drew. If our team showed half of the fight that Spurs have shown in pushing for the title, I wouldn't be whingeing about players and the manager and we'd have won this by ten points. Remember when we had our great teams and the number of bans they accrued? They werent angels, for sure.

Spiurs are unquestionably in a much better position than we are. I agree with Alf they have played some of the best football of this season. Its modern football, fast tempo, high pressing that with the right personnel is much closer to the way the very best teams in the world play while we are stuck with manager with players who many dont even fit into his style of play

Well done Spurs. Even with Pep at Man City and Conte at Chelsea I think Spurs will still be serious title challenger next season.

Did you ever see Roy Keane play?, or more to the point have you ever seen the mentality of Roy Keane? Alf Inge didn't see him, now that's someone who is prepared to break the opponents leg to get what he want's, and he had a trophy laden career.

And check out the story of the 1988 FA cup final, a team full of (as they we're labelled) "Thugs" triumphed over the Golden boys.

It's about winning, not about being nice.

I'm not disagreeing with the fact if we showed more belief and desire we wouldn't be where we are now. But theres a fine line between fighting for the league like Leicester have with their belief and desire to win games and the physical violent side that Spurs have shown, and thats what my comments are about/what we've been talking about.

This isn't about my dislike to Spurs either. Like i said, i agreed Spurs have played some decent stuff this season, but they've come away with nothing more than we have. This is probably the best Premier League squad Spurs have ever had and theres still a chance we'll be finishing above them, and this has been a bloody awful season for us, thats why i think people are getting far too carried away.

When Kane had his breakthrough season last year and most people said he wouldn't be able to repeat it i was backing him to do it again, not all of my opinions are anti Spurs. I'm giving you more facts than opinions now & the best PL team Spurs have had could quite easily still finish below us.. fact.

[Shaun]

I don't think physicality and violence are the same thing. Arsenal fans couldn't really bemoan the physical game when they won titles with the likes of Vieira, Adams, Keown, Dixon, etc. The comments Drew's brought up about Tottenham tonight are pretty fair - they lost their heads and it was embarrassing to watch. On any other night (where Leicester weren't crowned champions :tongue:) they'd have been mauled by the press, and they probably will be in the coming days by the FA.

Of course.. we've had our own Paddy Vieira, Keown, Adams, the list goes on. These were ridiculously talented players that would put their body on the line to win games. I think you've changed the context of what i meant by the word thug though. I'm not saying players shouldn't show the grit like Keane/Vieira or whoever, I'm merely pointing out Spurs were violent and set out to cause intentional physical harm towards their opponents tonight. They felt defeated and took to violence instead, i don't know how anyone can condemn that

When Man City go out of the ECl to Real Madrid they will be very motivated to beat us next week. I dont see us getting much out of that game.

I'm referring to the state of the two sides. I cant see any one of the spurs stars leaving unless stupid money is put on the table. I can see Ozil and Sanchez leaving; just the other day I read a report Bayern were interested in Sanchez.. Spurs shouldnt have even been in the race if we'd managed to get our act together. Spurs have ultimately failed but atm they look much stronger than many much bigger clubs..

I'd be more disappointed if they'd lost without any fight and emotion.

Tottenham didn't beat themselves, Leicester beat them by continuing to pile the pressure on. Tottenham had a great season.

That all we saw from Spurs tongiht IMO.

You've almost summed up what i've been saying here. We've been piss poor yet we're still 3 points behind with a great chance to either finish level or above them. Like i've said loads of times, this is a Spurs side everyone's claiming to be their best PL team they've had yet and saying we're now playing second fiddle to. They didn't even beat us this season, even Flamini scored twice to beat them at WHL in the FA Cup lol. I'm not doubting they're a bad side and that they haven't improved, but everyone's getting way too carried away.

They can only get better after this IMO.

The amount of teams who have underachieved this year makes their season look better than it has been. Yeah they've got room for improvement, but with the resources we've got, Chelsea, United and City have it's hard not to think this is probably the best chance they'll get to win the PL, and they were beaten to it in a two horse race by Leicester. I'm not saying every other club will improve more than Spurs in the future, but realistically it's more likely. Levy is still a selling man, you offer him a nice amount of $$ for any of his players and he'll take it.

[Shaun]

More than anything it's amazing how few points have been needed to win the title this season... Leicester are on 77 and you'd be surprised if they finished on 83 with their last two fixtures.

Last year Chelsea got 87 - Leicester would be third atm.
13/14, City got 86 - Leicester would be fifth atm.
12/13, United got 89 - Leicester would be third atm.
11/12, City & United got 89 - Leicester would be third.

Only other equally-open season was 10/11 really. I know history would never say it because the underdog story is way more compelling but this really was handed to them on a plate :laugh: Tottenham's point tally would place them where they usually ended up anyway.

[Alf]

I'm tipping Everton to spoil the party on Saturday.

Martinez is on life-support machine with the Everton fans and board.

0-2 to the Toffee's

Their style has improved and they've got a new identity but realistically they are still where they always have been.

Eighty points is a realsitic total for Leicester and that would have them third or higher in most years.

I see what you are saying but the number of points required to win the league depends on so many factors.

[BBfanUSA]

So regarding the trophy presentation,

Are they getting it after their game on Saturday or is it presented at the end of the season?

[Mystic Mock]

I think Nigel Pearson deserves a bit of credit, this is the team he built and who was in charge when this run started at the back end of last season.

Tbf Ranieri motivated them to the win though, and his always challenged for titles wherever he goes in Club Football.

If Arsenal do beat Spurs though it will be down to the suspensions that Spurs are gonna get rather than actually having the better team.

I'm not saying that to be harsh btw as I feel sorry for Wenger at the fans wanting him gone, but his side this year is not stronger than the Spurs team throughout this season, no matter what the table ends up showing due to all of the suspensions.

And tbh the two that I really objected too from Spurs last night was Dembele poking Costa in the eye, and whoever shoved Guus Hiddink over by the dugout, other than that it was basic Football fighting imo with Willian going to lash out at Danny Rose.

But wouldn't you say that the points have been much lower at the top because teams like Leicester, Spurs, West Ham, and Southampton have helped cause a few upsets this season? And don't forget Bournemouth when they beat Man Utd and Chelsea back to back.

[Mystic Mock]

Kloppy will have a better season than the Spuds next year, thats another team that'll be pushing them back down the table

Liverpool!:laugh3:

Next season is between Man Utd, Spurs, Man City, and Leicester, with a dark horse tip on Southampton is my guess as Payet will leave West Ham in the Summer.

Liverpool will be up there. Klopp will start to sign his own players and turn it around. Next year it'll be Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs. Arsenal will be about 6th to 8th and that may be the best thing for us.

I've given up on thinking that Liverpool will ever rise up again tbh.

And I'm not sure on if Pep will workout at Man City as the Managers seem to go very sud very quickly at that club.

[Drew.]

And tbh the two that I really objected too from Spurs last night was Dembele poking Costa in the eye, and whoever shoved Guus Hiddink over by the dugout, other than that it was basic Football fighting imo with Willian going to lash out at Danny Rose.

Please watch this then have a re think. I honestly can't believe a number of fans are shrugging it off and putting it down to the "heat of the moment" thinking a majority of what they did last night was acceptable. If this was Arsenal last night we'd never hear the end of it from you lot and the media.

The only thing missing from this video is Lamelas stamp and Walker flinging his bloody snot at Costas face.

[GiRTh]

Some bad fouls in that clip but so what? Many of those fouls would go unpunished in the championship.

[Drew.]

You know better than that Girth, they're not just "fouls" it's them intentionally taking their anger out on the Chelsea players. They have no intent on winning the ball in nearly all of those challenges. But that's down to the ref to deal with and that's not my argument anyway.

I'm still talking about the stamping, punches and kicks then went on off the ball which you all seem to be shrugging off and turning the attention back to the tackling.

[Drew.]

And rubbish about that being acceptable in the Championship. Yeah it's more physical but even the Championship has its boundaries. Only yesterday Dunk got sent off for Brighton for a similar tackle to a few of those.

[GiRTh]

Costa once threw snot at Sergio Ramos so whatever is done to him, who cares? This will be forgotten in a couple of weeks. Its a physical sport.

[GiRTh]

It was one game. Spurs have a decent disciplinary record for the season.

[Drew.]

I forgot if someones done something bad before it then becomes acceptable in the sport if its then done to that player

I'm not doubting their overall disciplinary record/fouls/tackles or whatever. My whole point has been about their thuggish behaviour off the ball last night and throughout the season on a few occasions where they've shown themselves up.

[GiRTh]

Rugby is a physical sport. You go and punch, kick or gouge a players eye off the ball and they'll be given a hefty ban

[GiRTh]

So you're ignoring the whole season and concentrating on one game against a big rival when they're pushing for the title?

[Babayaro.]

Dier was the worst. Dirty, dirty player. I was so shocked he wasn't sent off. 9 bookings in one game is inexcusable and should never go unnoticed

[Drew.]

I called their behaviour last night thuggish and i was called out for it. My whole argument is to do with their behaviour last night and mainly the violence they created off the ball which you're all ignoring and thinking is acceptable.

Anything to do with their disciplinary record, how they've got on this season, their push for the title or whatever is all coming from your mouths as excuses for them. You've started these discussions.

[GiRTh]

They dont need excuses they've done very well this season. They lost their heads in one game against a big rival. If the FA see enough to act then so be it.

Well tbf you'd have more of a point if one of these players that should've been "sent off" had've scored the winning goal for Spurs and kept them in the title race as that's obviously changed the outcome of the match, and potentially on who wins the season, but as it didn't happen it doesn't bother me as Leicester rightfully won the season in fairness.

Where as with Arsenal I've seen when the Referees have let them off in matches and it's changed the outcome of the match which is what gets a lot of people's backs up way more than a one off heated match where both teams were losing their cool.

Can't wait to see sophisticate Pep "genius" Guardiola come unstuck at Tony "football vomit" Pulis's WBA. :joker:

Re Spurs: now they've bottled the EPL, will they bottle #2 place, too?

[Mystic Mock]

WBA have become the new Stoke tbf.

Boring bastards.

[alex_front2]

WBA have become the new Stoke tbf.

Boring bastards.

TBF that's the "beauty" of Pulis sides. The cliché should no longer be "can Barce cut it on a wet Wednesday in Stoke" but should be " in West Bromwich " because if they decide to give you a game (and not be on the beach after they guarantee EPL survival @ 40 points) no team can beat West Bromwich. Messi, the Biter, Neymar et al? Pulis will simply throw 7 men behind the ball leaving Berhahino ou front and thus frustrate the sh#ite out of them until Barcelona get tired.

WBA only really lose when they try to beat a better more technical side or lazily on the beach post 40 points. Pulis has already got it sussed how he will stop Pep's Man City winning. So looking forward to seeing Pep v Pulis. Ditto Sean Dyche's Burnley v Pep's Man City. Tbf I just want to hear Dyce's voice.

West Brom could easily go a whole season unbeaten if they decide to not lose every game ie draw every game (and beat the promoted side whipping boys), 37 draws@ 1 point + 1 win @ 3 points = 40 points and stay up. To$$ers.

[Drew.]

Well tbf you'd have more of a point if one of these players that should've been "sent off" had've scored the winning goal for Spurs and kept them in the title race as that's obviously changed the outcome of the match, and potentially on who wins the season, but as it didn't happen it doesn't bother me as Leicester rightfully won the season in fairness.

"Costa got a taste of his own medicine so it's acceptable"

"Spurs have a good disciplinary record for the season so it's acceptable"

"None of the players involved in the violence scored the winning goal so it's acceptable"

"Leicester rightfully won the league so their thuggish behaviour is acceptable"

i've heard it all now

i've heard it all nowThey have done well and I think its wrong to
focus on one performance in such a good season.

[GiRTh]

People seem to be under the impression that Guardiola teams are some sort of pushover. Thierry Henry tells a great story that at the start of Henry's last season at Barca Pep called all the strikers together and basically told them that if they dont win a cup this year it will be their fault and he will blame them. Pep puts accountability and responsibility on his players and if they dont perform they dont get in the team.

[Drew.]

They have done well and I think its wrong to
focus on one performance in such a good season.

Again Girth, I haven't said anything about that one performance summing up their season, thats something you've now just said. All i've ever spoken about is their behaviour the other night

[GiRTh]

Again Girth, I haven't said anything about that one performance summing up their season, thats something you've now just said. All i've ever spoken about is their behaviour the other nightAnd their behaviour was bad so the FA are deaing with it but to use words like 'thug' or 'thuggish' is not accurate.

[Drew.]

What word would you use to describe it?

And to be clear again i'm talking about Lamelas stamp, Walkers kick, Dembeles eye gouge and what happened at the final whistle, all the off-ball incidents, not the tackles.

[GiRTh]

It was a local derby where tempers spilled over. Thats how I'd describe it

All those incidents you outline, those things happen in competitive games.

[Drew.]

I agree with your description of it, but usually when theres heated games and tempers do spill over theres pushing and shoving going on & tackles like what went on in the game. When you start poking peoples eyes, kicking them and stamping on them it no longer becomes "part of the game" it's individual violence which would be classed as thug behavior off the pitch.

When I watch a game like that I'm using words like competitive, confrontational, aggressive not thugs or thuggish.

[Drew.]

Dembele likely getting a 5 + game ban and the team being fined for breaking 3 different offences, i still stand by them behaving like thugs that night.

[Drew.]

anyway this is going round in circles now

[GiRTh]

Yes its going round in circles. We are looking at the same thing and seeing it completely differently.

[GiRTh]

Also, point out that Chelsea have been charged too.

[Drew.]

They've got Diego Costa in their side, they're no better off than Spurs are. But to be fair to them they were nowhere near as bad as Spurs the other night

[alex_front2]

Diego Costa acted like a saint compared to Dembele and Rose. Could cost Rose his England place. Hodgson won't like that.

[Denver]

I hope and pray Brighton beat Middlesbrough and win promotion to the premier league next season.

It's been reported that the winner of that game will be £200 million better off

[alex_front2]

The promoted sides will pocket more cash than Bayern Munich, and because Barce flopped in CL this season the promoted sides eg Burnley, Boro and play off winners will get more cash than Messi et al.

[GiRTh]

Good result for us; I really feared City would turn us over. They look very fragile without Kompany.

Hope Welbeck injury isnt too bad. It looked quite bad on the TV.

[alex_front2]

City are crap without Kompany. Always concede when he's injured...which is increasingly the case.

He's Man City's #1 player, more than Aguero, Silva or Yaya. Without Company even Aston Villa should have tried to get in on score sheet. Pep will have to assess whether it's worth keeping Vincent as they don't just lose a great defender when he's out they loose a captain and influence. Pep will probably try and replace him.

[Mystic Mock]

The problem with Man City is that they get hyped up as a great team in a similar vain to Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich nowadays by the media, and yet the only three players that I truly would say are top notch on their day goes to Aguero, Hart, and Kompany, the other Man City players are half decent, but they would not be classed as world class without those three players imo.

[Shaun]

Hope Welbeck injury isnt too bad. It looked quite bad on the TV.

Yes and I know from going to West Ham games that that area pre and post match is a nightmare at the best of times never mind on a night like this. It's why you leave plenty of time.

Fact is only twice this season has there been a delayed kick off with the away team not getting to the ground on times. Both times its been United. Amazing that every other team is capable of organising themselves to reach a ground at a suitable time.

Great quote from a dejected Man U fan on RedCafe post West Ham game:

We have essentially become Arsenal. A squad full of bottlers, with a past it manager and a board that cares more about money than the actual fecking football. Our squad is content with a top 5 finish and an FA cup final after not even beating any good teams.

Eerily true. :laugh2:

Really going to miss Rosicky & Arteta, Tomas probably could have been one of the best midfielders in the world if it wasnt for injuries, him and Arteta have been great servants to the club. Only Spurs could need a draw against an already relegated side and lose 5-1 with them down to 10 men. Heres to another year

A Giroud hatrick secures St Totteringham day. Trust him scoring a hat trick in an otherwise dead game

Just seen Poch on SSN apologise to the Spurs fans for their poor performance after a heavy defeat. Surprised there are managers who do this. Dont remember our manager ever apologising say after the 5-1 to Liverpool or the 6-3 to Man City or the 6-0 to Chelsea, he's more inclined to blame the fans for defeats.

I don´t know much about PL, but how can you go and lose 5-1 to a team in 18th place ie: first relegation spot in a no-prize game that has one man less than the other team who before this match was in the 2nd place?
