PL shit that doesn't need it's own thread.

We've done well to mostly have games at 3pm Saturday all season so far, but December's schedule is totally jumbled up with Southampton, Man United and Liverpool games moved for tele.

Garth Crooks at it again. 'Newcastle can win the league with Benitez given investment'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41710315

 

[Pagnell]

Not completely ridiculous to be fair, although a bit of a nothing statement in some ways. He's basically saying spend shit loads and Benitez is capable of winning the league. Not outside the realms of possibility.

 

[SALTIRE]

Maybe if they threw £500 mill on the squad then yep maybe. But would players who cost that amount choose Newcastle ahead of the rest of the top sides? Doubtful.

 

[G.B]

would it really take the great man £500mil though? he's only spent 53 pence on this side and we're already better than supposed title challengers liverpool. give him the same resources as klopp and he'd win a treble no problem. dinnae strain your neck looking up salty mate.

 

[SALTIRE]

Sure you are.

 

[G.B]

oh i'm sorry, i didn't realise the table does in fact tell lies

 

[SALTIRE]

You're overperforming, we're underperforming, over the course of the season you'll be in the bottom half whilst we will be between 6 -> 4. Early days yet my friend.

 

[G.B]

whatever helps you sleep at night salty mate

Were you here in 2010? I genuinely don't remember but if you were did you fuck support the claim that Rafa failed because of resources. I know so for a fact because I remember Dessie's stand on the subject and you've always copied his opinions without exception.

Anyway, Rafa's probably at his absolute best managing a side like Newcastle. He'll overperform so long as he's there, he's a fantastic counter attacking manager and he always has been. So is Klopp, mind, and it isn't exactly helping against the likes of United etc.

 

[G.B]

how can you claim to know what i supposedly said in 2010 "for a fact" if you don't even know if i was there? it'd be an irrelevant point anyway as the resources klopp has been given are in no way comparable to what rafa had at liverpool.

rafa is a genius, i've been banging that drum since his extremadura days without exception me. you lot were wrong not to back him and to force him out of the club (like you always do) imo and now, after going through woy, a racist and a living, breathing meme, you're stuck with the fella who does the funny faces and can't organise a defence. you reap what you sow beelo mate.

I haven't in my life supported the ousting of a manager mate, as you are well aware. Very conservative me.

i know for a fact you have me

Stuart Attwell's decision not to dismiss Yohan Cabaye meant that Newcastle have gone 100 Premier League games without an opponent being shown a red card.

That was Bradley Johnson of Norwich City at Carrow Road in January 2014. United's Loic Remy was sent off at the same time and has been followed by 15 more Magpies* in the subsequent century of PL matches.

• no account taken of subsequently rescinded reds

From NUFC.com

Kane, Hemed and Cabaye so far this season should have definitely seen red. Gomez should have seen a second yellow during the Liverpool match, I'm sure there's at least 27 more I'm forgetting. I call conspiracy. Always trying to keep the black (and white) men down.

 

[HarvSFC]

Yedlin should have bee sent off against us last week.

 

[G.B]

shut up harv

 

[smat]

Yeah what the fuck Harv?

Lifetime ban for a bit of urine banter. The game's gone.

BBC Panorama have done some digging around Everton's ownership and funding, info pieced together from those leaked documents from law firm Appleby. It relates to links between Moshiri and Arsenal's Usmanov.

Wenger saying the refs are worse than ever - does he have a point or just a bit of sour grapes?

Called out Sterling as well for diving -doubt that will go down well!

Might be reminded of that if an Arsenal player does the same.​

No way Sterling dived for the penalty. Clearest penalty you'll ever see.

Man City will receive a rumoured £10m from Amazon, for a 'behind the scenes' documentary series to be aired on the Prime platform.

Or, as Silkyman calls it, "pornography".

United sent a scout to Iceland to watch the Iceland vs Czech Republic game yesterday.

The game was played in Qatar.

Wenger should finally start buying some decent players rather than complaining about diving players. Needless to say that Arsenal players also cheat to get a penalty or whatsoever. Wenger is probably frustrated as his team never competes for the Premier League title, not to mention Arsenal's terrible track record in the CL.

That's a great idea. Why hasn't he thought of this?
