EPL Gameweek 15 Discussion

Everton/City and Dempsey's return to Fulham are on my radar to watch.

[Chrispy]

Dempsey gonna get booed, Dembele gonna get cheered.

I see a draw, but hoping for a spurs win.

[Fappin Raptor]

Everton will lead early, then let up a late goal or two to draw/lose.

Fucking Arsenal.

Again.

But seriously, today thus far has been representative of the season as a whole in the Prem so far. There just doesn't seem to be any great sides. So many bigger clubs are struggling compared to what is really expected. Arsenal and Liverpool, obviously. Chelsea lost today. Manchester City aren't losing matches but they are dropping points. United will take a 3 point lead on the table if they win today but even they haven't been consistently great - RVP seems to be carrying them, much like he did with Arsenal last year.

Close enough. Gave up a penalty near half. Still glad we got a point from the Ethiad.

Tottenham r doing quite well right now but Bale left today's game with looks like a hammy issue.

3 wins in their last 3 premier league games.

Just gotta keep it going, looks like the team is finding its form and starting to play really well together.

[Chrispy]

I'm telling u Man u should just start every game down 1-0

Then five minutes later they are winning 2-1

[Chrispy]

This game is nuts, 3-3 in only 30 mins

[Chrispy]

"Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has praised the "maturity" shown by Rafael Da Silva."

Not today he isn't

Wouldn't shake Ferguson's hand when he came off in the 32nd minute after receiving a yellow card earlier and he looks pissed.

Right now they are. But they are only a month removed from losses to Norwich and Wigan (which was at home, too). And a couple of weeks past the 5-2 derby loss. Fortunes can change quickly, especially if a major player like Bale misses much time.

As a whole, the Tottenham season fits in with the inconsistent pattern of almost every bigger side in the Prem. As I type this, its 4-3 for United over Reading... in the first half.

[Chrispy]

Yeah, I know, was just praising them, it is a long season

[Bigpapa42]

Sorry, wasn't sure if you were trying to say that Tottenham were bucking this season's trend and playing consistent or just pointing out they are playing well of late.

To be honest, Spurs have a real opportunity. They are 4th. Chelsea is above them but reeling. West Brom, Everton, and Stroke below. If Tottenham can maintain any degree of consistency through the rest of the season, they have a really really strong opportunity to finish in the top four this season. Unless they again get screwed by someone finishing outside the top four but winning the CL (hello Arsenal!). Gotta hope if Spurs do make the CL, they take it more seriously than they have been with the Europa League this season.

oh, definitely not, was just making my own post. I know they have struggled this season so i'm glad to see them performing good right now.

lolarsenal

Fell asleep during the first half so I missed Agger's goal. Just glad they got 3 points. Only 2 losses in their last 12 premier matches.
