The Barclay's Premiership - 2004/2005 Season - Thread

[Race Idiot]

Yay, now we only have 3 strikers.

Yeah he's injured, now we get to see how good smith is.

 

[Mike Rotch]

I read somewhere that Pires said Viera has made up his mind to leave. I wish he would just pise-off to Real. Enough is enough.

 

[Rue]

I just read that Pires never did say that. It's all paper-talk bullcrap. The red tops are out to undermine Arsenal at the beginning of every season anyway.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Even if he didnt say it, Viera needs to make up his mind. Otherwise, it will affect the teams start to the season.

 

[Rue]

Sure. It got worse when Wenger admitted that himself. I hope the big man stays on, I really do. What happened to the real stalwarts like Adams? A lifetime at one club. I guess it won't happen anymore. Can we blame the players though? Would we do the same if we were being offered such obseen amounts of money? Maybe.

EDIT: How about Lee Mills six year stretch in the nick? A career ended just like that. It's sad. I mean it's beyond terrible for the poor fellow's family that was killed in the crash and there is nothing that can be said in defence of Mr. Mills, but I just think the whole story is a really tragic one. I feel for both families.

 

[Race Idiot]

Mutu on loan to Juve? WTF?

Nevermind, the loan deal fell in and he's still a Chelsea player. So we have 4 strikers.

And now Owen might join Viera.

Although I bet he stays at the pool.

Eh? Lee Mills of Leeds? In the clink? Since when?

Lee Mills of West Brom was convicted last week for hit and run.

 

[Race Idiot]

The worst thing about that was he ran away from the accident. He totalled both cars and then thought it was a good idea to run away from it. Like that's going to help.

I don't care who you are, in my eyes that's unexcusable.

Looks like big name players are exempt from this though.

 

[DQuaN]

Yup, I think he was lucky to get 6 years.

 

[Mike Rotch]

I agree with bastige. Running away just makes it worse.

Even more reason to boo the Magpies

 

[Race Idiot]

I just found something funny.

You can buy it as a T-Shirt, here.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Heh. [Homer]It's funny because it's true[/Homer]

Since when have West Brom been the Magpies? Have I missed something? I haven't been back to the UK for three years, so maybe I have. Please enlighten me!

 

[Famine]

No, they're still the Baggies.

I wonder how many people will buy a Lee Hughes replica strip? Will the stands at The Hawthorns this season look like this?

 

[911_Carrera]

Heh, it's been a wacky year for football.

Several rape cases, involving Leeds and Leicester, many affairs, scandal transfers. Now this Lee Hughes case.

Let's hope this season is more about the football.

 

[Famine]

Leeds and Leicester?

Isn't this thread supposed to be about Premiership football?

(and I'm still ing about Leeds).

Oh yeah, I forgot it was the 2004/2005 season thread.

It was a review of last season is all.

 

[Mike Rotch]

I see Charlton bought Danny Murphy and some other recognised striker (i think - forgot the name). They looked like decent purchases.

Oh yea, Baggies, not Magpies. 👍

 

[Race Idiot]

Jeffers, they bought Jeffers.

The Arsenal reject.

By the way crotch, join GTP's EPL fantasy football leauge.

 

[DQuaN]

Do we actually know if the Premiership is going to be the 'Barclaycard Premiership' this year. It might have a new sponsor

I was almost right.

It is actually the Barclays Premiership, not barclaycard. You might want to change the title.

 

[ExigeEvan]

I went to JJB yesterday and found a Liverpool top with 'Murphy' on the back. That ain't going to sell

 

[Race Idiot]

I bet you bought it.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Who will get relegated this year?

My choice:

Norwich
Crystal Palace
Everton

 

[Race Idiot]

Crystal palace for sure, I swear they were a mid/bottom 1st div side. I also agree on Everton, i've heard that they are seriously lacking players.

 

[911_Carrera]

It's Chelsea's title this year. For sure.

I just want a trophy, it doesn't matter what it is!

 

[Mike Rotch]

Yays. A great weekend of results (besides Charlton losing ). Roy Keane sucks like a Neville in defence.

 

[911_Carrera]

Jay Jay Okocha. So good, they spelt it twice.

 

[Race Idiot]

What an awesome free kick.

 

[DQuaN]

It's Chelsea's title this year. For sure.

Arsenal have stared off to a flyer (albeit against everton). I still have my doubts about Chelsea but we will see.
