Premier League (May 5th-9th)

[Gibbsy]

Hope you don't mind me starting up this weeks thread Moj.

Games are:

Arsenal vs Norwich 5th May 9:45pm
Newcastle vs Man City 6th May 10:30pm
QPR vs Stoke 6th May 11:00pm
Wolves vs Everton 6th May 11:00pm
Bolton vs West Brom 6th May 11:00pm
Fulham vs Sunderland 6th May 11:00pm
Aston Villa vs Tottenham 6th May 11:00pm
Man United vs Swansea 7th May 1:00am
Blackburn vs Wigan 8th May 5:00am
Liverpool vs Chelsea 9th May 5:00am


Pretty shitty kick-off times all round. Late nights on a Sunday are not what you want. Newcastle will be a big test for us and I'm not confident, especially with the form Papiss Cisse is in, we will have to wait and see. Would enjoy seeing QPR pick up some points at home. Fulham won't be a walk in the park for Sunderland I reckon. But at the same time if Sunderland come away with a win away from home they'll have their tails up next week against Man U.

Speaking of Man U they should comfortably defeat Swansea, I have no doubts about that - I'm thinking 3-0. Wigan should keep on keeping on, Blackburn are a basket case. Then there's the game of the round - Liverpool vs Chelsea, will be interesting to see how Chelsea balances their form between EPL and UCL, can Liverpool finish bottom half??

Big week of football coming up.

Fairplay.

Was just about to come in and do this myself.

Going to try and find a Cisse shirt and set up a shrine for this weekend. If he scores a winner, I'll do a merry jig

all spots from 1 to 5th even are still up for grabs. big round of football coming up

must win for arsenal tonight in the early kick off, and put further pressure on the likes of spurs/newcastle to win 24 hours later

newcastle v city should be a cracker

All comes down to this really.

Praying Cisse continues this week.

Newcaatle are paying 4-1 for the win, 3-1 for the draw, which is absolutely ridiculous odds.
I'm even tempted myself.

 

[Cruyff14]

Didn't know Arsenal were playing early. Was keen on going out but now I might just stay in

You know you're ****ed when you're relying on a team Alex Mcleish manages.

So do i

A hat-trick would be nice.

 

[LeverPuller]

Howay the lads and GO VILLA.

Knocking off Spurs would make us a huge chance at 4th...

lovely finish from yossi...1-0 to the arsenal after a minute

 

[RickSanchez]

Pathetic defending followed by poor goalkeeping.

1-1 Arsenal Norwich.

Verm has had an ordinary season.

 

[glenferry23]

lol....now its 2-1 to norwich

what the hell is going on here

 

[RickSanchez]

I know it was unlucky but seriously those "unlucky" loopy goals happen to us too often.

 

[glenferry23]

been happening to us for years. you make your own luck as the saying goes. its almost comical now when it happens to arsenal

sagna looks gone. in fact he's just been subbed off already, that's a big blow

 

[glenferry23]

norwich looking very dangerous on the fast break. ramsey and song all over the place and our defence looks terrible

 

[BlueBen]

Clear penalty against Koscielny there, ref bottled that.

 

[glenferry23]

yep that was a penalty. lucky for arsenal there.

 

[RickSanchez]

We won't finish top 4. Lock it in, we're terrible, decent players individually but chemistry is mediocre. RvP has been average for 2 months and so have we.

 

[sacka]

How come there are 12 red and white shirts on the pitch?

 

[glenferry23]

We won't finish top 4. Lock it in, we're terrible, decent players individually but chemistry is mediocre. RvP has been average for 2 months and so have we.

yep what's worst is his body language. appears disconnected at times, and he's been off his game in recent times. exhaustion perhaps? not sure. but worryingly, there's this contract saga that's clouded at the moment and if he's already decided that he's leaving arsenal, this might be one of those things where we look back in a couple of months time and realise why he's been lacklustre in the last part of the season

anyway, back to this game and we've got a hell of a lot of work to do to get back in this

 

[A Bit High]

In Newcastle we trust.

Up the TOON!!!
