2013/14 Premier League

Wow Hazard is quality

 

[BunniesMan]

We always have injury concerns. It hasn't stopped us having the most points since the start of last year. We finished last season incredibly well. If we replicate that we won't get caught. The good thing is at this stage with 14 games left our fate is completely in our hands.

If we get to the City game and are in a situation where a draw keeps us in 1st, I'll start feeling confident.

Wow Hazard is quality

Messi-esque last night he was. Showed a lot of upper-body strength.

Superb tactics from Mourinho. I'm wondering though, what does it say about the PL that it took him only half a season to work out his biggest competitor when it took him 2.5 years to work out Barca? Or is it simply that Chelsea's players are more receptive to his coaching than Madrid's?

It didn't sound like he had much of a relationship with a number of the players there.

Chelsea players don't appear to have issues with him, was there any dressing room disputes when he left last time? I can't recall any off hand.

The run home...

 

[Red Bear]

Pretty balanced. City could run away with in the next month or so though, before their hard run of games kicks in. All have pretty reasonable runs home. City away at Everton and Chelsea away against us are the only real tough games the three sides have in their last five. Arsenals next 9 games or so is a really tough run.

Much depends on Citeh's trip to Etihad

A draw would do nicely...

They probably missed Fernandinho the most. Hazard mugged him Demichelis again and again. Puzzling that Pellegrini didn't opt for Milner or Rodwell

Rodwell is a bit shit I think. Milner hasn't played CM for a while has he? I know he used to play a fair bit there for Villa. Mind you, i can't imagine Demichelis has played much CDM before.

I think they missed Aguero's movement up front. Negredo and Dzeko are far too static to be played together as the front two. They looked a lot better when they brought Jovetic on I thought.

I think the title race would've been all but over if they had managed to beat you guys. I'm hoping that loss slows their momentum down a bit. If Aguero and Fernandinho are out for any decent length of time i can see them dropping some points.

 

[Helmet Man]

Used to have faith on Dzeko's ability but now i have come to terms that he is a ball hogging shitmerkin who goes for glory all the time.

 

[Helmet Man]

Interesting stat that Mile Jedinak has the most interceptions out of every player out of the top 5 European Leagues.

I'm guessing you mean the Emirates. I'd take a draw too haha. If we can come out of this run within 3 points i've first we might have a shot.

Don't think we'll finish within 7 of the eventual champs though.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Dzeko is rubbish. His stats are packed with garbage time goals.

 

[Jimbo]

Yes. Yes I do

Getting my arab airplanes mixed up

It could well go down to the wire now that Chelsea has shown everyone that Citeh are beatable

 

[andrew057]

I thought Sunderland, Cardiff and Aston Villa already showed that.

A few months ago, and at home, yes they did. As did Chelsea

Citeh have been kicking arse and taking names in the interim

 

[BunniesMan]

Draw against City and Chelsea, win 12 other games. That's all that stands between us and the title. Anything can happen but we don't deserved to be so easily dismissed. We've been outperforming the rest of the league over the last 13 months.

The standard February choke's about to hit and you know it.

Better than being irrelevant....

You predicted the same thing a few months ago
