SOUTHAMPTON ARE STILL A BIG CLUB! The Premier League, 2014/15

red card for naughton is a fucking appalling decision Foy is and always was a cunt

Driving down to Loftus Road, blasting The Boys Are Back In Town.

reaction of the spurs player top right is the icing on the cake

Oh, Chrissy Ek. Will you ever win?

van GGGaal interview a good taster of things to come i think, looking forward to mcnulty's take on the aforementioned dutch master.

I'm given to believe that pitch invader had more shots on target than Kevin Nolan and Carlton Cole put together.

it's a possibility that you might be right there matt

For real though that United back three was clearly going to be bullshit.

Masterful bit of getting in the way by Bony for the Swansea opener.

Gullit's a regular this season on motm?

It's weird how on English telly he always seems to make at least some sense, whereas on Dutch telly he's like the David Icke of footy pundits.

I didn't actually see the game but it's strange that LVG didn't play Reece James at left wing-back. He's been excellent there in pre-season. The back three should look a bit healthier when Shaw and Rafael come back and we add a central defender (Benatia maybe?)

hahaha my god steve parish is essex as fuck

He's from Lewisham: http://www.juliehamill.com/post/56962598413/fifteen-minutes-with-steve-parish-crystal-palace-fc

classic cattermole.

Imagine a Parish Sherwood dream team double teaming every press conference.

Younes Kaboul should not be allowed to leap on top of things.

Can't believe we made poor Eric Dier speak English in the press conference.

Koeman automatically wins manager of the season if he brings the translator with him to the post-match interview tomorrow.

Dier sounding like a young Mark E. Smith there

XP oh yes

how can this not be on MOTD?

painful

By the time he went to bed on that Easter Monday, he knew he had been. For a start people had not been answering their phones, and when he finally did make contact with Ed Woodward, the club’s executive vice-chairman would only say that he would meet him at Carrington at 8am.

Moyes had no intention of driving in at that time — not when the cameras would be waiting. So he got there four hours early, went for a run, took a shower and then, alone in an empty, eerie building, began to clear his desk. ‘I hadn’t slept a wink,’ he says. ‘But the run gave me a chance to clear my head. A bit of time to think before I started to pack up my stuff.’

Moyes admits he wanted to sign Cesc Fabregas, Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo

shd've checked to see if Roy Race was available

poor messi never got a look in

assist of the season from Tadic (Henderson's was good too)

wiziwig sopcasts are all offline already, the officials are clamping down for the first few weeks of the new season

Southampton can win this but they need to bring Long on. Pelle has done nothing

The straight Flash streams have been okay from what I've seen.

12.5m

Chuffed that Jovetic is starting, not least 'cause he's in my Fantasy team.

Henderson looked amazing today, looked like Gerrard of old, Gerrard by contrast seemed a bit more Henderson of old. Joe Allen sucked bad.

reckon we should seduce nakh back with a "life and times of paul dummett" thread

Lallana and Markovic to play yet but yeah that was a poor performance today and lacked that spark that Suarez brings. They were lucky to win really.

Sterling looked very sharp though, although whoever allowed him to win a header against them should probably be put out to pasture immediately.

Southampton didn't look like a team in crisis, Ward-Prowse in particular plus a couple of others look capable of stepping up now.

Ward-Prowse loses the ball a bit too easily but looks very capable otherwise. Saints crisis greatly overstated, they'll be fine.

COLBACK DID THE POST-MATCH INTERVIEW WHAT HAS HE BECOME

That Henderson pass, tho. Yum yum yum. If it wasn't against us, obv.

Ward-Prowse very blighter-ish. We've got our whirlwind going again. Kind of want to see us against someone terrible. I think it will be fun.

soton didnt deserve to lose that game at all really. btw that dzeko backheel for silvas goal was shweeet.

10m Southampton bid for Andros rejected

another 3 or 4 might do it but then the going rate for nothing Englishmen is prob twice that?

ONE NIL BURNLEY

not for long

lovely goal

Fabregas is going to be so good for Chelsea

nbd wilshere will come good amirite

ridiculous assist

https://vine.co/v/M3DVBK6Fugi

i like that evil cesc has to have an upsetting hair change just like evil nando

Mourinho hates sideburns

http://yougabsports.com/gfile/75r4!-!FFMLML!-!zrzor45!-!JQINOHHF-LMIP-HDHF-LHHM-JDOPILLRKRNQ!-!72y1nq/mattingly.png

that's what I was going for

I thought it could be but nevertheless I saw the opportunity and pounced on it like Torres.

Adebayor shaved off his hair for Mou too.

cesc :(

Malky Mackay at Palace, tba officially tomorrow. Sighs of release all round it wasn't Sherwood.

I'm off to Dulwich Hamlet v Peacehaven to celebrate.

Mertesacker AND Koscielny out for Arsenal...

i suppose gomez fluked that performance too

tbrr skrtel was enormous there, rarely seen him play so well. liverpool look seriously hard to score against

eleven men in a line across the box will do that tbf but yeah looked solid

deems my dear fella if spurs defended like that for one game you'd be a changed man

clyne and gomez both looked v good tonight. quite an encouraging start for liverpool this year. prob should have won that game.

absolute state of thierry henry on sky btw - he's got even worse. he makes alan shearer look like terry wogan..

clyne is nifty

idk what gomez's add-ons are but i reckon we stand to make several million one way or another from this continued level of performance. lol i guess that makes liverpool my 'premiership team' haha. pandemic all is forgiven

emre can is blossoming as well. really like that midfield with him and milner.

the only bum note was jordon ibe basically being completely and i mean completely useless, like almost frighteningly so

benteke prob should have scored. he does look generally good though.

prob but unreal save

Decent start to the season

OK use this thread, this is getting embarrassing.

No swears & don't 'sit' on the floor (The Premier League 2015/16)
