*Official* English Football Season 2014-15

[Nate]

Should Citeh be worried about getting sucked in?

I think they already are.

Crucial that LFC win tomorrow to keep in touch.

 

[cpr]

Next weekend is big. I for one am not looking foward to it, even after our 1st half display today.

 

[sledger]

Yeah, agreed with Nate. The fact that Arsenal have managed to creep up to one point behind them suggests that they are well and truly in it.

 

[cpr]

Christ, only just realised how far City have slipped. 3 from 4 now and the momentums against them.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Who is in charge of player recruitment at you guys? This is exactly the same as 2012/13 - go in as Champions, piss away advantage by spending a lot of money on some very average players.

Yeah that's the biggest issue. I'd say it's a combo of Pellegrini and Txixixiixi, and it's been godawful.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I hope that's finally enough to get the United fans off Fellaini's back, he's been in our top 3 players this season but still gets so, so much abuse.

Should Citeh be worried about getting sucked in?

We're already in it. With the way we've been playing I wouldn't be surprised if we missed the 4, honestly. We've been atrocious.

Piece o' piss

 

[Pothas]

I've never watched it, but feel a little more tempted to every time I hear Jon Arnold talk about it.

It is the mix of old stars and former Football League players which I particularly enjoy. The couple of matches I have actually watched so far have been really good fun though.

 

[fredfertang]

Bye bye Bradford

 

[Nate]

Far from pretty today, but job done! Mignolet and Allen were magnificent, which feels wrong to say.

 

[Nate]

United game on Sunday so overwhelmingly massive, haha ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[sledger]

Arsenal to win 2-0 tonight and go out in their typical heroic failure fashion.

 

[Furball]

Might stick a couple of quid on that actually.

 

[sledger]

I'd actually be surprised if Arsenal lose tonight, but I can't see them winning by 3 goals to make up the aggregate score.

Still, it ought to be a fun watch. Unless Arsenal concede in the first 10 mins or something.

Which I suppose they probably will now that I've said that.

 

[Cabinet96]

Wenger's gone too attacking here.

 

[sledger]

Wenger's gone too attacking here.

It's not necessarily too attacking imo, but certainly more attacking than I expected, and probably more attacking than is wise. Welbeck and Cazorla contribute a reasonable amount defensively, so I can see the logic here. Would have been worse if Walcott had started over Welbeck, for instance.

 

[Furball]

What the **** is Tyldesley arguing here?

That flag was completely incorrect. Inconsequential seeing as Koscielny missed but the call was 100% wrong.

Unless he's arguing that defenders who jump to challenge aerially when the ball is put into the box from a set piece aren't intending to head the ball...

Yes, very curious comment.

Giroud WAG

That's a really good finish actually.

 

[sledger]

**** that was close. Monaco so lucky.
