EPL Discussion Thread Season 2009/2010

Glad it made you feel better mate. I've been feeling **** since 1999.

all runs come to an end mate, hate to say it but cant always keep beating and drawing with you guys , would love to tho. I have a feeling tho and hate to say it that that time could be in a few weeks at the lane
just looks that way, we are focusing on the easier games and dont seem to be paying alot of attention to the derby. Normally a few weeks before the game i tend to hear alot over the arsenal grape vine about the derby but not this time for some reason

[RoosterMarty]

Hopefully Tottenham end that run next time you guys play each other.

i heard this morning something about John Terry breaking a leg of security guard at Stamford bridge after the champleague defeat to Inter? Something about the press was after John after the match and he took off in his car and ran down this guy?

[devilsadvocate]

Correct Bully. JT being the quality bloke he is, ran over a security guard. I've read that his leg was badly bruised, but who knows.

Also heard that JT went around to the security guard's house to console his missus.

why would arsenal want to think ahead to the derby bulldog? there in with a chance this year of winning the EPL i think they would be taking it game by game they need the 9 points before they worry about tottenham, plus the tottenham game will be postponed if they reach the semis of the FA cup. p.s. if the top is still tight that game against tottenham will be massive!

If the game is postponed it will be enormous for both clubs potentially. Arse could be chasing a title. Spurs could be chasing 4th.

I highly doubt we'll see a boring 0-0 draw in any case!!

in recent years when the north london derby has been looming i have just noticed gooners start talking and saying how much we are going to beat the scum by, but not this year for some reason

maybe thats what the arsenal fans have looked forward once there out of the title race. bit more on the plate then the north london derby.

Please get fit FAB

The Man Citeh v Spurs game that had been postponed due to cup runs (I think) has been rescheduled for Wednesday May 5.

This game has the potential to be absolutely huge and virtually a sudden death shoot out for 4th spot. Obviously there are a lot of games to be played in between, but I can't help thinking that Sky had a fair bit to do in the re-scheduling of this game!

Citeh play Villa the week prior, but I think the Villians will be lagging in the chase for 4th by that point. Spurs could too though after a tough, tough April.

Best premierleague season in years!

Agreed!

LOL I reckon it's sucked the big one!!

In all seriousness though, it has been a great season for how tight it's been across the board ... The title is still undecided and the relegation battle is as interesting as any other season, but the fight for the 4th spot hasn't been much of an issue previously but this year it has been (and still is) pretty full on.

Latest Title odds:

MANCHESTER UNITED 1.88
ARSENAL 3.00
CHELSEA 3.50

Interesting that Chelski have slipped so far. With Utd and Arsenal still in Europe, this will play into Chelski's hands to an extent.

Worth a tenner at $3.50 IMO.

The run in:

Man U:

Bolton vs Man Utd
Man Utd vs Chelsea (This game is CRUCIAL and it is sandwiched in the Champions League tie with Bayern Munchen)
Blackburn vs Man Utd
Man City vs Man Utd
Man Utd vs Tottenham
Sunderland vs Man Utd
Man Utd vs Stoke

Arsenal:

Birmingham vs Arsenal
Arsenal vs Wolverhampton
Tottenham vs Arsenal
Wigan vs Arsenal
Arsenal vs Man City
Blackburn vs Arsenal
Arsenal vs Fulham

Chelski:

Portsmouth vs Chelsea
Chelsea vs Aston Villa
Man Utd vs Chelsea
Aston Villa vs Chelsea
Chelsea vs Bolton
Tottenham vs Chelsea
Chelsea vs Stoke
Liverpool vs Chelsea
Chelsea vs Wigan

Looking at the fixtures, Arsenal probably have the easiest run-in on paper and Chelski the toughest, so perhaps this has been factored into Centrebet's odds above.

Tottenham will have an influence on the title race - we play all three contenders

I know, thanks mate!

Everton are now outsiders for 4th. They've played a game more and are 7 points behind Spurs, but have by far the easiest run in of any of Spurs, Villa, Citeh and Liverpoo.

If we can't, I hope Everton get 4th. But f*ck I hope Spurs can hold their nerve this time.

Oh and no f*cking lasagne at either Citeh at the penultimate game or Burnley on the final day. OK!

4th is highly unlikely but with the run we have i would expect European qualification after this seasons failed attempt!

This mornings game was immense, Everton didnt have the best of chances up front but took them when they were there. What can i say, TIMMY and our go to man ARTETA (so good to have you back). Couldnt of been scripted any better. Loved it when Arteta scored as they put the cameras on one of the boxes which showed Lescott sitting there wondering what was going on! I thought he left Everton to better his career?? 2-0 on both occasions this season, shove that up ya .........

And Carlos Tevez, i love this guy, i think he is an absolute star but too much whinging and crying led him to have a complete shocker! Had a couple of chances but Mr Jagielka (welcome back son) the rock he is didnt let him have much space.

Funniest thing was Mancini cracking it at Moyes for holding on to the ball when it went out of play, fair enough if it was to waste time but there was clearly a substitution coming up so Moyes held the ball to wait for that to happen. A bit of a heated moment as they got in each others face and they both got sent off for the remaining 2 minutes of extra time, funny stuff! Expect a touchline ban there for Mancini and maybe Moyes, Moyes did nothing wrong though so he shouldnt be sanctioned!
