2010/2011 English Premier League Discussion Thread

De Gea looks like the real deal alright. Just wonder if Glazers will tolerate spending £15m + on a keeper. Especially as Utd need to reinforce in midfield as well. Some rumours around De Rossi coming from Roma, would be some addition.

Spain.

Spain.

Would be disappointed if Reina left England for one of the also rans in Spain.

As oppossed to inferior also rans in the EPL?

I know where i’d rather live anyway.

I actually think Ray Wilkins is a decent pundit despite being a hun cunt. But he’s just come out with the following on Sky Sports:

‘Present company excepted, I think Paul Scholes has been the best English midfield player in the Premier League era.’

He’s sitting beside Jamie Redknapp in studio.

:lol: That’s some top top lickarseing.

Hernandez gets the nod ahead of Berbatov. Good call I think, his superior movement might be the key to improving United’s away form. Drogba on the bench for Chelsea - he won’t be happy with that.

i made Berba captain for this game week. :rolleyes:

He still might do alright for me, but ffs, 1st time same 11 picked for donkeys.

He was excellent on Football Italia back in the day.

Did he offer his opinion on the best hurler in Cavan?

Poor miss by Malouda there.

I think Scholes needs two central midfield players beside him these days. If Fletcher stays wide and doesn’t tuck in a bit then I can see Chelsea overrunning them in midfield.

Great strike from Rooney! Utd deserved that, completely in control. Nani and Evra destroying Chelsea on the left.

Given far too much time but a great hit.

Much better team so far.

Manchester United have been excellent after a lively first ten minutes from Chelsea. Scholes has been brilliant and at the heart of their passing - I can see why the likes of Lippi, Zidane, gola and Xavi rate him so highly. Super strike by Rooney too.

Best 45 minutes away from home by United this season by a mile. The passing has been incisive and the movement brilliant. Rooney looks better for having the pace of Hernandez alongside him, and the finish for the goal was brilliant.

Chelsea look like an old team. Not sure what Lampard is offerring these days for instance. I’m almost certain to regret that statement at full time.

Yet more proof that the Premiership is the best league in the world, excellent game so far played with plenty of pace

Fantastic finish by David Luiz.

Shit defending from Utd there, Nani stationery instead of tracking Luiz.
