Premier League 2011/12 Season

Just checked. It's on at 2 pm here and I am 8 hrs behind GMT so it's obviously tape delayed. Which means I can either follow it online that morning and not wach it (I can never watch a game once I already know what happened) or just avoid this site and checking the scores and watch it at all unfold in suspense 7 hours after it actually happened.

 

Dreading the match this weekend. Anyone in the NE who claims to enjoy the derby weekend's is a liar. They are awful. It's even worse for me as I work in mackemland with a ton of mackems. Defeat is unthinkable.

*puts money on Sunderland*

 

:flip:

Arf. To be fair, i hope you guys twat them, and leave them utterly demoralised bfore our FA Cup tie next weekend.

 

^^^ My money's on a score draw

 

Get your predictions in today and don't check the football threads until after you watch the game. You should watch the full game and let me know your thoughts on it.

:bears:

 

Always the safest Tyne-Wear derby bet and a result I would take in advance every time. It must be worse to be a mackem leading up to the game: they don't win many of them...

MTF :rock:

 

YOU RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR's!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't have an opinion on the Northeast derby but my anger lies with the camera man. The Geordie slag got her arse out twice and the goofy bastard missed it both times. ld:

 

Is 'slag' an oft used American term, or have you picked that up on your travels over here?

THE FRIDAY PREVIEW: TOFFEES

QPR welcome David Moyes' Everton side to Loftus Road on Saturday afternoon, for yet another crucial Barclays Premier League fixture.

With just 12 matches remaining, Rangers boss Mark Hughes will have identified home games like this as key to the R's survival hopes.

The Toffees - who were not in action last weekend owing to Liverpool's successful involvement in the Carling Cup Final - head to Loftus Road in fine form.

Inspired by some excellent business in the January transfer window, Moyes' side are currently unbeaten in seven matches in all competitions - a run of games that has seen them progress to the quarter-final stages of the FA Cup, where they will play host Sunderland in the last eight.

Recent Premier League scalps include a memorable 1-0 win over title favourites Manchester City, as well as a 2-0 home victory over Chelsea at Goodison Park.

The return of former fans' favourite Steven Pienaar, who is back on Merseyside on loan from Spurs, has been instrumental in their upturn in fortunes, and with a seemingly kind run of fixtures between now and the end of the season, expectations are understandably high at Goodison Park.

Rangers, however, have proved they have what it takes to beat the Toffees already this season.

Tommy Smith's first-half strike sealed maximum points for the R's at Goodison Park in late August and a repeat of that result this afternoon will go some way to aiding the R's survival bid, as the business end of the campaign draws ever closer.

Pre-Match Talk:

Joey Barton - "Everton are never easy opponents, no matter where or when you play them.

"I know QPR had a great result up at Goodison earlier in the season before my time here. That was a bit of a shock at the time, because there was a bout of illness in the camp too, but Tommy Smith scored and helped produce a great win.

"They're never an easy team to beat."

Phil Neville - "I don't think QPR will go down with the quality of players they have.

"They've got good front players - Wright-Phillips, Zamora, Cisse.

"We're going to have to play well to get a result.

Last Home Meeting:

Premier League: QPR 3, Everton 1 - Monday 8th April 1996.

Scorers: QPR - Gallen, Hateley, Impey; Everton - Ebbrell.

this is hilarious and such a good idea :: ::

 

Hey joemul, hey Caligula, what's up?

 

If you used "slag" or "arse" in America, people will know what you mean but neither are used often. It would be "slut" or "skank" and "ass."

We also wouldn't say "get your tits out" or "she got her ass out." It still doesn't sound right to my ears.

 

ray:

 

I'm actually going to feel a little bit arl'arse for Jimmy when we tonk QPR tomorrow. The Walton Whitesox are destined* to get 3 points tomorrow.




*i hope

 

Considering revising my predo for the Liverpool vs Arsenal game but I won't....Its not necessarily that Agger and Gerrard are out...its that Carragher and Van Persie are both in.

Oh well. Let's see.

 

I've reconsidered my pick for that game. Gone for an Arse win.

 

Meh....I was feeling the same, fuck it I won't bother. In for a penny in for a pound.

 

I've got a shed load of pennies in my pocket today to hopefully bring QPR some luck ray:

 

Neart, bród agus onóir. Come ar QPR!

 

Clinical finish from Kos.

Good night :)

 

Fuck, I changed my prediction ::

 

Don't give up hope just yet Andrew. 1-1.

 

I'm going to start calling Muzse, mystic Muzse ::

 

Van Persil yet again

 

Fair play to Arsenal. Liverpool don't deserve 4th and this wretched display proves why. Carroll and Bellamy absent, no cover for Agger worth of the name.

 

:: thats it Kenny, fling Carrol on in injury time. That'll do wonders for his confidence, after all the good rebuilding he's been doing in the past few weeks. If this was Benitez he would be crucified for not playing Bellamy and Carroll sooner. Set out with Adam and Spearing to keep things tight? Negative Benitez style. :wack: Except Kenny won't get stick from the sympathetic BBC interviewer.
