Gameweek 25 EPL Discussion

[Rudi]

Since we don't have a random thoughts thread anymore, I'll try and create weekly discussion threads for the weeks premier league matches. We can do the same for the Champions league once the next stage of play starts.

These are in EST. [Home team listed first]

Saturday Feb. 11th

7:45AM
Manchester United v Liverpool [on ESPN2]

10:00AM
Blackburn v Queens Park
Bolton v Wigan Athletic
Everton v Chelsea
Fulham v Stoke City
Sunderland v Arsenal

12:30PM
Tottenham v Newcastle

Sunday Feb. 12th

8:30AM
Wolverhampton v West Brom

11:00AM
Aston Villa v Manchester City

Saturday is a pretty big day. Obviously the early game, but Everton/Chelsea, Sunderland/Arsenal and Tottenham/Newcastle should make for some intriguing matches for teams battling for the Champions League. Villa/City has all the makeups of an awful match.

I wish we could get about ten more soccer fans around here, we could have a decent section set up.

Nice work, Rudi. Was gonna make a generic EPL discussion thread but this works nicely.

Huge game for Fulham this week @ home against Stoke

[NAHSTE]

I like the idea a weekly thread. Gives you a few days to look over the games and build anticipation for matchday.

[Rudi]

Glad ya'll like the idea. I'll try to post these a few days before the gameweeks start all the time, that way we can discuss the matches before hand, during and the results. It is a shame we have very few soccer fans on this board though. I may try and recruit some brothern from blue moon rising, not sure if it'll work though.

As far as this week matchups go, Man U/Pool should be a good match - and it's on ESPN which is a plus. Spurs/Newcastle should be a doozy of a match as well too.

Will be in England April 3-14, specifically Leeds. Newcastle v Bolton on April 9, 1.5 hr train ride...

Here's hoping...

Build a Bonfire, Build a Bonfire
Throw the Scousers on the top,
Put Citeh in the middle,
And we'll burn the fuckin lot!

All the shit aside. Fuckin good to see them control the scouse like that.

This is what we sing when Wazza goes all Wazza on em.....

I saw my mate the other day,
He said to me he saw the white Pele,
So I asked, who is he?
He goes by the name of Wayne Rooney,
Wayne Rooney, Wayne Rooney,
He goes by the name of Wayne Rooney...

Man City - check!
Chelsea - check!

Next: Tottenham on March 10th. Watch out!

[NAHSTE]

Tottenham straight bitch slapped the Toon.

[Bigpapa42]

Impressive win by West Brom over Wolves.

[Fappin Raptor]

Wolves have dismissed manager Mick McCarthy after Sunday's 5-1 defeat at the hands of West Brom left the club in the relegation zone.

Steve Bruce and Alan Curbishley are the early favourites to replace McCarthy, who had won just one of his last 13 matches as manager.
