EPL 08/09 thread

Golfa: thats really pushing it, they'd be lucky to get a top 10 finish. Sure they've won a couple of games but there still in relegation zone, and there form should dry up soon.

But I agree with you on Gerrard, lol. Biggest hippocrite.
This is pretty insightful http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVthv1RqHqo

Their out of the relegation zone at the moment and only 8 points from 5th with 26 games left! No loss in 6/6 games under Harry, wins against Liverpool twice (admittedly lucky to get both of them) and a draw against Arsanal is a good effort and with no clear '5th best team' in the epl Spurs have every chance to take it. Villa are only their because of an 'easy' draw, Hull are just suffering from the initial 'jump' seen in 1 out of the 3 Championship teams each year and the rest are just middletablers who have never done anything else. Spurs easily have the 5th best squad (except for Gomes- whose injury was the cause of thousads of Spurs prayers).

It's only early in the season remember and 8 points is nothing....

They are kind of still in relegation zone. The team thats 20th has 11 points. 19, 18, 17 and 16 (tottenham) all have 12 points. Theres not much in it at all, they are by no means "safe" from relegation

It's only early in the season remember and 8 points is nothing....

If you think about it that way, then 19 of the 20 teams have a chance of getting in the top 5. All of those 19 are 8 points or within 8 points of top 5.
The last team is only 9 points from top 5.

Steve Gerrard Gerrard, he kisses the badge on his chest, then sends in a transfer request, Steve Gerrard Gerrard.

"When you walk through a storm hold your head up high,
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.

Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone."

Come on Liverpool, all the way this year!

United are gone. Shocking against Spurs. Hopefully they sell Tevez (get 5mil exta because of his recent good form ) and sell Anderson for a decent price so they can pick up Mr.Torres (i can hope).

By the way, did anyone see the rumor that City are planning a 63mil bid for Darren Fletcher? HUGE ROFL.

 Torres is too connected to Liverpool to have any chance of wanting to play for one of their biggest rivals. You should go for David Villa.

We aren't playing very well, but so aren't any of the other teams. Last weekend all the big 4 drew and a few weeks ago, none scored a single goal between them so no one wants to break away and dominate. I'd be sad to see Tevez leave, but he is finding it hard to get starts when we already have Rooney and Berbatov up front. Anderson is still only a kid as well, and has shown he can cut it in the big league.

I'm really liking Rafael, [though I'm not a United fan], already pwns at age 18

Yeah I like the look of him as well, he almost plays like another winger.
