Saturday/Midweek football

[Coffee one sugar]

It’s a busy week ahead in the Premier League.

BRENTFORD vs LEICESTER CITY (1500)
Ruud van Nistelrooy starts his managerial career with a tricky visit to Brentford. It’s obviously a bid to keep the Foxes away from the relegation places. Mid-table Brentford seem to be safe from all that for now and will have to play well to stop what’s likely to be resurgent visitors’ new manager bump. Draw.

CRYSTAL PALACE vs NEWCASTLE (1500)
Palace are second from bottom and maintain their desire to play a particular way. Newcastle, meanwhile, can play any way they want when they play us. Boring game in store. Draw.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST vs IPSWICH TOWN (1500)
Back in August, most people would have had this down as a six-pointer. Not any more, with Forest knocking on the Euro places and the Tractor Boys knocking on the Championship places. Home win.

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS vs BOURNEMOUTH (1500)
A fabulous result last week saw Wolves climb out of the drop zone, while the Cherries continue to consolidate their top flight status. Draw.

WEST HAM UNITED vs ARSENAL (1730)
The BBC asks, Could win at Newcastle be Lopetegui turning point? It won’t be just the BBC that grapples with that question. It could well be, but at the same time we all know that it could equally well not be. Arsenal are, for their supporters, maddeningly inconsistent with two wins, two draws and two defeats in their last six outings. Let’s hope this will become three defeats at the end of today. Turning point ahead? Home win.



SUNDAY

CHELSEA vs ASTON VILLA (1300)
Not so long ago, Villa were top of the table. Now they’re in eighth spot, but still very much in touch with the top four. Chelsea, meanwhile, are top four and will look to leapfrog Brighton – yes, Brighton – into second this afternoon. Home win.

MANCHESTER UNITED vs EVERTON (1300)
Just three places separate these two, but you feel that the force is with the hosts. The Toffees are still battling to escape the clutches of the bottom three, a fight that’s likely to go on for much of the season. Home win.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs FULHAM (1300)
Fulham have disappointed of late, yet there’s just a solitary point between these two. Both have been inconsistent, which make this game very hard to predict. Home win.

LIVERPOOL vs MANCHESTER CITY (1600)
I wonder if the media have noticed this fixture? And what on earth has happened to Man City? A great chance for Liverpool to cement their eight-point lead at the top. Walk on. Home win.


TUESDAY

IPSWICH TOWN vs CRYSTAL PALACE (1930)
Fearful times ahead for Palace. Home win.

LEICESTER CITY vs WEST HAM UNITED (2015)
Hmm. Dunno. Draw.


WEDNESDAY

EVERTON vs WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS (1930)
A definite six-pointer. Draw.

MANCHESTER CITY vs NOTTINGHAM FOREST (1930)
City get back to winning ways. Home win.

NEWCASTLE UNITED vs LIVERPOOL (1930)
Away win.

SOUTHAMPTON vs CHELSEA (1930)
Away win.

ARSENAL vs MANCHESTER UNITED (2015)
Home win.

ASTON VILLA vs BRENTFORD (2015)
Home win.


THURSDAY

FULHAM vs BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION (1930)
Away win.

BOURNEMOUTH vs TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR (2015)
Draw.

The site has gone. Finished. Time to fuck off.

How many times have you trotted this line out over the years Manuel? Yet your here nearly every day, think you have had a few sabbaticals and disappeared for a while, but you always come back often with new username, how many is it now? (BC, PD come to mind), not sure why you think "its gone' whatever that means, its basically the same bunch of people on here that have been around for decades now..........Ladysmith isn't new, maybe username but that's it

Should all cunts be banned (dangerous game Manuel).

Also I'm not the only mod and frankly would rather not be, but we're short on numbers (we'd welcome enquiries from the more sane established posters who might like to help).

Also, should all 'wind up' threads be deleted? Should all posters of wind up threads be banned?

Trying to understand what the 'line' should be. Thoughts? E.g. we have a thread started about a preference for Liverpool to win the title as opposed to City. Instant ban?

 

Personally i don't think anyone should be banned UNLESS they are being Racist or its some kind of hate/threats they are spewing Same with threads, unless they are posting up multiple threads, like the Bummer used to do back a few years ago, then if its spammy then it soon drops off the main page with little or no response or gets some attention and on occasion can be amusing, some with Politics, not sure why the Brexit thread got locked, not that i posted on it or even opened it very much, seemed to have the same half dozen on here going round and round in circles trying to outsmart each other of abusing each other.

Not sure why some get uptight about other posters, if you think someone's a cսnt just ignore, its not difficult, but spewing out you want them banned probably just feeds the ego of the said poster, you're basically giving them the attention they want

WHO is a rarity in this day and age, most every other forum i frequent i have had warnings and bans from overzealous MOD,s who act like total cunts or get offended on other behalf for stuff on WHO that wouldn't even raise an eyebrow, hats off to Stubbo and others who run it and migrated it across from the old site

I was under the impression that we all (ALL) had the ability to "Foe" a poster we don't like, meaning that when you (YOU) do, you (YOU) don't see anything from the poster you've (YOU again) "Foe-ed".

Is that not the case or is that just not good enough for "proper" WHO posters and public humiliation is the only sensible, adult solution here?

[Massive Attack]

So glad Man City isn't our next game.

Having lost 7 of their last 8 matches, winning none, I wish it was!

For what it's worth, I think Man City will still end up winning it.

I see what you did there Stubbo, some of those comments look a bit out of context now, but well done. I like that.

Can't have it all. Just have to look at the post subject heading to get the thread/context.

With a Saturday/Weekend Football thread, do we really want separate threads for Spurs and Liverpool games. 

Is it any wonder no one decent bothers posting on here anymore 

This is a good point. Will see what involved in merging a thread like this to the Saturday football thread.  Mostly mod time/man hours I suspect.

Threads merged

This Ladysmith character is clearly on a wind up and his smile must broaden every time he gets death wished upon him or reads that he be banned.
Just fucking ignore him,it really isn't that hard.
 

[stubbo-admin]

Listen, either a mod (and we know who that is) either bans this cսnt or anyone who is  still left on here needs to fuck off.

An absolute fucking disgrace.

Why?

I hope you get AIDS very soon………. And not the good version either.

Fuck off to Kumb.

This might be the all singing all dancing website now but is anyone monitoring these Tottenham wankers spaming up everything that's got nothing to do with West Ham.

[Fauxstralian]

If anyone has to win it I haven’t been that bothered by Man City winning it endlessly as it meant other teams (especially Tottenham) aren’t winning it.
No fan of Liverpool but was actually thinking yesterday that I’d rather they won it rather than those cynical Arsenal cunts
Ideally we beat Arsenal away again to cost them the title

More worried about us beating Leicester & Wolves to join the middle group rather than the pack getting detached at the bottom

[Mad Ferret]

No one will stop them.

Rather them than Arsenal.

Can't stand either rather chelsea 

Nah fuck that.

[ragingbull]

So glad Man City isn't our next game.

[Leavemyarcelona]

No one will stop them.

Rather them than Arsenal.

Can't stand either rather chelsea 

[Ladysmith]

Just got back, in all fairness Fulham were the better side and deserved to win.

Highlight of the day was having a chat with the old Spurs player Paul Miller. Nothing to do with Spurs but more to do the insight he gave about Bobby Moore.

Not a good weekend for football, as a neutral it was a crap game.

[Mex Martillo]

What the fuck is going on?
How do I become a mod so I can delete this shit?
 

[Mad Ferret]

Ladysmith,

How was it mate?

[Mad Ferret]

I don’t take any notice of anyone from London who supports Liverpool or Man Utd.

To me, their opinion on football is invalid and their gloating is null and void.

So yeah, would much rather Liverpool than Arsenal.

[side effect]

Just about.

Hope City get the book thrown at them for those performances alone. This is supposed to be the Premier league and they are supposed to be setting the example.

[Tomsdad]

Can't think of anything worst to do on a Sunday!
