2010/2011 English Premier League Discussion Thread

Munster’s rugby success relied on a scrap or two before every major HEC match.

Balotelli seems to have enough ego for 10 players.

If an inflated ego was an impediment to playing soccer then we wouldn’t see Monkey Allen ripping astro defences apart every week. It’s part of the make-up of many great strikers.

Exactly - that’s why we don’t see Monkey Allen doing that.

ah come on now your clutching at straws there.

Ballotelli rode Sophie Reade and her best friend over the new year.

Top bloke. :clap:

Who’s been the best player in the EPL so far this season? I guess you’d have to consider Gareth Bale, Samir Nasri, Charlie Adam and Carlos Tevez.

Luka Modric for me

I won’t be answering that until I’ve seen KIB Man’s much anticipated annual EPL Half Term Report.

Ya KIB, i really believe thats why Munster ever won anything. :rolleyes:
Its just an indication of intensity at training.

What about Nani and Van Der Vaart Bandage? Their stats are impressive.

Bale’s european form brings him up with others, but purely on EPL he’s had a good few quite games.

I’d go for Tevez, City were utter crap a few days and he saved them.

Modric has been Tottenham’s best player this season

Nasri or Bale.

Havent been watching it as much this year so it will be a scaled down version

I’ll go with

Hart, Sagna, Kompany, Vidic, Cole, Nasri, Van der Vaart, De Jong, Modric, Nani, Tevez

Hard to leave out Bale there but I think Nani and Nasri have been excellent in the league, Notables - Holden, Onouha, Enrique, Ferdinand, Adam - actually its been a pretty shit EPL so far

      • end of half term EPL report - - - - - - - - -

Its what they ‘won’ that Im getting at. I thought ever since the Celtic Tiger went bust that rugby wasnt to be referred to any more

Hard to argue with KIB’s team. I fancy the big shots to come good in new year. Rooney, Lampard, Drogba, Gerrard are all starting to warm up, i think the WC may have affected the English lads somewhat, both physically and mentally.

My under rated EPL team of the season so far:

Foster
Coleman
Kompany
Turner
Enrique
MG Pederson
Adam
Brunt
Etherington
Carroll
Elmander

Good team, Carroll and Elmander could rattle the “best” team. Coleman is right midfield though.

:smiley:

MANCHESTER CITY star MARIO BALOTELLI might be homesick - but it’s not the women he’s missing.
The Italian striker has been getting it on with Big Brother 10 winner SOPHIE READE.

But blonde Playboy model Sophie quickly discovered Super Mario isn’t exactly boyfriend material - when he pulled her best pal.

The betrayal sparked a good old rant on Twitter.

She wrote: “Would like to let everyone know @FayeEvette is a s*** and slept with the guy I was seeing! What a friend and welcome 2011.” She added: “Mario Balotelli is a ****er!!”

Shame, as this was her tweet a day earlier on New Year’s Eve: “Woop, off to Manchester with beautiful @FayeEvette gonna party hard 'til 2011”

That night went well then.

Sophie spent most of the New Year getting her woes off her huge chest with further outbursts at her former bestest mate and fellow glamour girl.

She tweeted: “Some ppl have no shame! And no knickers! Cringe.”

If Sophie had done her research, she’d have known Mario isn’t keen on relationships.

He was snapped in Manchester on Monday completing his hat-trick by treating another blonde to dinner before speeding off in his new Maserati.

Last November he dumped his Italian model by text moments before she appeared on a TV show in her home country. She got revenge by reading out his message live on air.

It said: “I’m back to make you change. But never mind, you’re sunk. Everything is against you tomorrow. Bye.”

Not that moody Mario would have been too bothered.

He has an ego the size of one of Sophie Reade’s bras and has backed his claims to be one of the world’s best footballers by banging in eight goals in 11 games for City since his £24million move from Inter Milan.

Mario misses his side’s clash with Arsenal today with a swollen knee.

He must have wooden floors in his flat.

Ah that is just outstanding work from Mario. :clap:

I was a little disappointed in him when I read it.

From SO’s orginal post I thought it was a threesome.
