Premier League Weekend Thread 5th/6th Feb

Peyton Manning

No thread, and I don't deal in humorous titles so that's the best you're getting.

Stoke currently 1-1 with Sunderland. Richardson with a nice goal for Sunderland, Carew with a tap in just now for Stoke despite being offside. Good game.

Good game so far, technically he was offside according to the co-commentator - the goalkeeper was ahead of him and only one defender behind him! Discussion not so long ago on here about that!

Have you noticed how much the pitch is cutting up when the players are running? Its like they are horses.

Peyton Manning

Oh, and for the Fantasy Football heads, the assists went to Gyan and Huth respectively.

Peyton Manning

Actually they just showed a good replay that showed Huth may not have touched it at all, which means it won't be his assist and it wasn't offside either.

It's actually not a bad game, surprisingly.

Peyton Manning

Rory Delap's throws still never fail to amaze me. Bloody great weapon to have.

Finical

Huth at his off the ball thuggery again. :pac:

Peyton Manning

Terrible terrible defending from Huth allows Gyan to put Sunderland 2-1 up.

That_Guy

Stoke. :eek::eek: What the fook was that. Good strong play from Gyan though.

They were saying before the game that the stats said they had scored only 1 in the past 34 games from a Delap throw, today makes that 2 in 35 - I would have thought it was more myself!

Poor from Huth there for the goal, but great from Gyan!

IS it worth him being practically a passenger for it though? I'd rather have him on the bench and the long throws as the last throw [of the dice]

That_Guy

Such a scrappy goal to concede.

I think you meant Kolo instead of Yaya the first time

Zab, Barry and Milner as the middle 3?

Peyton Manning

What a game. Stoppage time winner for Robert Huth. Bloody cracking game this.

That_Guy

That is some ball from Pennant.

Mars Bar

3 2 for Stoke. Terrible defending but boy does Pennant have a lovely delivery...

Gonzovision

Wow good result for Stoke, turned off at 2-1

Terrible football from Stoke, but terribly effective all the same.

Those stats must surely be just when he gets the assist, sounds wrong otherwise.

Bent goal ruled out for offside after great work from Downing,

was very very close, i thought he was onside!

iMuse

Vdv scores 2 penaltys for spurs lol

Had to retake the 2nd one and missed it

Gonzovision

2 penalties in 2 mins for spurs.

ctrl-alt-delete

What a crazy start to the 3 o clock kick offs!

Mars Bar

This is a bit mad isn't it?!

ctrl-alt-delete

still only 1-0 Spurs on my stream after 11mins


Edit, i see the confusion comes from a retake

JPA

Villa 1 up, great cross from Downing and Pantsil scores an OG.

Xavi6

Carlos \o/

IvySlayer

Everton 1-0 Blackpool, Saha

flahavaj

Pressure on United later if scores stay the same.

Wigan 0-1 Blackburn

Jason Roberts

Xavi6

Tevez with another stunning goal. 2-0

mike65

Newcastle disaster

McCarthy grabs an equaliser for Wigan, 1-1- now

Blackburn had been well on top, and a sitter missed by Benjani has come back to bite them!

Cianan2

Baptiste equalises for Blackpool.

amacachi

Spurs gonna lose in my bet the bastards, I really should stop betting on them.

Xavi6

Birthday hattrick for Carlos

The Floyd p

Captain Tevez with the hat-trick.

iMuse

Moyes big mouth backfires, ridiculous decision to disallow that goal for everton

Am I being selfish bemoaning the fact I captained RVP ahead of him?

amacachi

Maybe it's more the referees and assistants that are screwing Spurs, useless.

JPA

Some goals so far today.

smokedeels

VDV with a 1 in 3 conversion rate from the penalty spot today, wonder if he'll take another if it's awarded.

mike65

Saha scores 2-1

The Volt

Jaysus we could have done with this Louis Saha back in September.

It's 1 in 2, Clattenburg gave offside against Crouch for the 3rd one, instead of the handball. Correct decision.

Ah, Ok...

I got my information from BBC's Text commentary.

Cianan2

VDV replaced by Pienaar at the break.

JPA

Fulham equalize.
