2013/14 Premier League and General Football Discussion

[Vegard]

Much preferring the keep Bale option now...

No point in thinking like that.

The money from that deal have rebuilt your midfield.
Give it time to develop and realise its potential.

 

[Alex.]

Much preferring the keep Bale option now...

That was never an option.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

So Capital One Cup is on tonight and tomorrow night, its the quarter finals...Sunderland v Chelsea and Leicester v Man City are the games tonight with the Chelsea game on Sky...tomorrow is Tottenham v West Ham and Stoke v Man United with the United game on Sky...

 

[Ross]

I can't believe BT are showing a FA Cup 2nd round replay over the City game. I guess it's something to do with licensing though.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Oh yeah it is, Sky have got rights to show League Cup games live and the BBC have rights to show highlights but both of them can show the final live..

 

[Alex.]

He's making it a little more difficult for people to hate him this season. Very humble interview.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Its ironic that the ceremony took place at the Emirates Stadium!

 

[Fuzzy]

Not surprised at all with the AVB sacking, when the camera kept turning to Levy during the game, you could see it in his eyes.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Fabio Capello was in the crowd for the game, despite the fact that there was no Russian players on the pitch, something going on there maybe?!

I :censored:ing hope not.

Darn it... I knew I should have held off making transfers in my FF team!! I didn't know these games were on, and just days after being described as the best defender in the league, Zabaleta gets himself injured in a Crapital One Cup game

 

[Alex.]

Some Arsenal fans are still pretty convinced they're getting Suarez this January

 

[Fuzzy]

We've opened talks with him over a new contract. 👍

Me personally, I don't think he'll leave this January window, and honestly can see him be with us next season aswell. However, I guess that goes all out of the window if we don't finish in the top four.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

What about Sunderland last night?!, they were one-nil down to Chelsea for so long until Borini equalised and then Ki hit the winner in the 118th minute!!...City are through they comfortably beat Leicester 3-0

Tottenham v West ham and Stoke V Man Utd is tonight with the semi final draw straight after the Stoke game on Sky

 

[Ross]

Man Utd Starting XI:

----------De Gea--------
Rafael Smalling Evans Evra
------Jones Cleverley---
Valencia Anderson Young
---------Welbeck-------

 

[Akmuq]

Spurs going for a 4-4-2, should be good to see if they create more, especially with Lennon and Townsend as wingers, and Ade up front, hopefully he gets some form, he's awesome on his day but awful on other occasions.

 

[m8h3r]

Looking forward to watching some football. Get in put on the stream and it's just everyone going back in....

 

[Akmuq]

AVB O- Oh wait.

 

[Ross]

My goodness, Ashley Young had a game where he didn't dive and scored a corker of a goal! And a bit of a shock at White Hart Lane too!

Anyway, Semi Final draw:
Sunderland v Man Utd
Man City v West Ham.

First legs on 7th January, second legs on 21st January.

 

[Phoenix]

Good win tonight by United. Happy to see the "B-squad" performing well.

 

[suarez7]

Well the league table looks absolutely fantastic right now doesn't it?

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

Manchester derby in the Mickey Mouse Cup Final?

 

[ASH32]

Manchester derby in the Mickey Mouse Cup Final?

It'd bring a bit of credibility back to the cup but Sunderland and West Ham don't care about that and will give everything to stop it from happening. No one should be overlooked at this stage, even in a two leg tie which should favour the big guys.

That's true, however the first leg of City's semi-final is at the Etihad and with their performances lately, it'd be difficult to see anything other than a win there and a loss at Upton Park.

 

[Ross]

We have the advantage of having the home match in the second leg though.

True, you'll just have to perform best in the opening leg to have a comfortable game at home.

 

[Ross]

True, you'll just have to perform best in the opening leg to have a comfortable game at home.

Which will be tricky, Sunderland have only failed to score once at home this season in all competitions on the opening day of the season (17th August).

 

[Touring Mars]

Manchester derby in the Mickey Mouse Cup Final?

It Disney matter who wins?

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

It Disney matter who wins?

 

[MUSC4EVER]

I laughed when we avoided City in the draw, I had a big feeling we would get them...Hopefully Rooney's injury isn't serious and he'll be fit for the weekend, we need him badly now that RVP is out for a month..
