Premier League Preview Thread

Champions League returns today at 1:45 with my Real Madrid taking on Roma. We have a 2-0 road lead, so I feel pretty good, but Real fans should be a little nervous due to what Schalke did to us with the same score line at the Bernebeu. Either way, I see us going through.

A damnnnnn soft one. But he got clipped. Thought it had to be called. Fortunate one Haha. Maybe that can start a Red push for Europe

Still can't stop your Fox Overlords

They probably are already in the Europa League. If City goes to the Champion's League then Liverpool will get the spot from the League Cup. I think the Top 4 or even Top 5 is probably out of reach. I need to look at the run ins. I haven't done that yet.

Next year is going to a real shock when Leicester are in more than 1 competition and get a group with Barca or Juve and get absolutely smashed

Just watched the United Liverpool game. Pretty typical English game. Great theater, exciting, sloppy and quality was ehhhh. Fun to watch tho

I hear Vardy has a 30 million quid buyout. If he is at Filbert Street (sorry, I've been at this EPL thing a while) next year that will be quite a coup for the Foxes.

I'm watching a replay on FS2 now. It should be a felony to have American commentators for a game involving an English team, a capitol crime if between two English teams. It kind of ruins it for me. It sux in all honesty.


By the way. There are some Manchester United fans who should be forever banned from any game. JUSTICE FOR THE 96.

I mean...he is 30 and past his prime, honestly.

That won't stop Chelski. They love to buy old dudes. I didn't know he is 30. I hope we don't go for him unless it is on a Bosman then.

The Americans never picked up on the fact that there was a smoke bomb/flare in the Main Stand today. The Main Stand! That's normally the domain of what MSU youngsters call the "blue hairs". AWESOME!

[Liverpooldawg]

As much as I loved today, it's only halftime. Old Trafford will be a different animal all together.

Just looked it up and he's 29...close enough.

He has one maybe two good years. So I don't think it would be that big a coup. I meant even if they keep the same roster and don't lost players they'll struggle being in more comps

Newcastle has hired Rafa Benitez as their manager on a 3 year contract. I now have some hope that we can stay up, but this should have been done a few weeks ago when we had an 18 day break. We wasted two very winnable games giving Shteve a last chance. I do have to say that I'm shocked he took the job, from what I can tell he's a world class coach. At the very least his resume is freaking impressive.

Rafa is a good manager but he is no miracle worker. It's going to be a tough job keeping Newcastle up at this late stage. If he manages it it would be nearly as good of job as he did winning the Champion's League wit THAT Liverpool squad. If he keeps you up and get proper backing, better days will come.

A very good point for Norwich this morning, 0-0 with Man City at Carrow Road. It's going to be a near run thing. My guess is the drop, just.

Oh I still have very little hope of staying up. I'm just saying that there was a 0% chance of McClaren keeping us up. He was getting absolutely nothing from this team and looked incompetent. Like I said previously though, if this move was made about a month ago, he would have had more than two weeks with the team before his first match, and he would have had two more games to dig us out of this hole.

Thanks to an AMAZING goal by Okazaki, your OVERLORDS REIGN STILL!!! Five points clear in the lead with 8 matches remaining. IT CAN HAPPEN, BOYSSSSSSSS

Three vital points and OUT of the drop zone, for now anyway. Great win for Norwich City!

Dumping the Mancs out of Europe was fun this week!

YOUR FOX OVERLORDS CLAIM A 1-0 VICTORY OVER CRYSTAL PALACE AFTER A BEAUTIFUL STRIKE FROM RIYAD MAHREZ. In all seriousness, we are 8 points clear in the lead with 7 matches to go. 17 points more needed for the Foxes to clinch the Premier League.

WE'RE GONNA WIN THE LEAGUE! WE'RE GONNA WIN THE LEAGUE!
