Are you being serious or sarcastic?

Sure he's the definition of a hot-and-cold player, but that goal was sublime and all that's separating the sides at half-time.

Yes, his foot is capable to create beautiful goals. But playing football is another thing. It is not enough to have a good foot to do it. A poor man's Balotelli hmm

by Art Morte Sun Nov 29, 2015 3:09 pm

But a poor man's Balotelli might be a useful player for a club like West Ham hmm

Usually these mid-table clubs have a lot of "decent & reliable" players, but they're lacking the players that can provide moments of magic, even if those players don't do it consistently (because if they did, they'd be playing for the big clubs). Zarate's been good for the Hammers this season.

I'm also convinced that if it wasn't for Pulis, West Brom would be right in the relegation mix right now. That squad is no better than Newcastle's, Aston Villa's or Sunderland's. It's probably worse than Newcastle's or Villa's. I mean, here I am watching Craig frigging Dawson and a washed-up Sessegnon "bombing up" the right-hand flank and Jonny "I'm also not a full-back" Evans and James "punching above my weight since 2011 and I still don't know how" McClean on the opposite flank. With no other than James "I haven't heard of myself, either" Morrison feeding them balls in the hole. If nothing else, I suppose this Baggies side will provide the answer to the question "Can you stay in the Premier League with 100% grit and 0% skill combination?".

now that you mention it

feels like West Brom haven't updated their team besides strikers in 4 years Laughing

where is all this PL money going

Chris Brunt hasn't had a good game in 3 years ffs

by Art Morte Sun Nov 29, 2015 4:05 pm

They bought Jonny Evans to play left-back and James McClean to be that tracking-back winger to help Evans out eco smile

I don't know, it's classic Pulis, just what he did at Stoke, if your resources are limited, just load the squad up with no-nonsense players. Boring as *bleep*, but they got a good point again today, so I suppose it's working.

That is absolutely not the point.

On Liverpool v Swansea: Quite interesting that Monk is starting Eder again and Gomis on the bench. No Coutinho for us, but Swansea's team isn't looking that scary, we should be able to control the game and get the goals for the three points.

Flamini trying to replace Coquelin for Arsenal, oh dear.

Tottenham were completely dominated.

If this doesn't count for trolling, I don't know what does.

Exactly, you know nothing about nothing and its better if it remains that way.

Carry on.

How can one know anything about nothing? hmm

Guess what guys, we've got another injury Laughing

Koscielny has done a side muscle. Gabriel is coming on.

Liverpool v Swansea 0-0 @ HT

When watching the Tottenham v Chelsea game, I thought that are we going to look tired as well after our Europa League game. We are. Good 20 minutes, after that it looks like we've already run out of gas. This game has started to look like one goal will win it and either side can get it.

by Firenze Sun Nov 29, 2015 5:13 pm

Norwich 1-1, come on lads Proud

by Hapless_Hans Sun Nov 29, 2015 5:19 pm

the atmosphere at Anfield is a *bleep* joke tbh

by Jay29 Sun Nov 29, 2015 5:33 pm

Alexis has done his hamstring.

:brickwall:

by Hapless_Hans Sun Nov 29, 2015 5:35 pm

Finally..

a handball penalty given in the PL :bow:

this must be a historic day

Look at the bright side. That way Wenger is forced to finally *bleep* rest him a few games.

by Jay29 Sun Nov 29, 2015 5:38 pm

Every year it's just the same crap. Mad

Norwich are totally winning this btw. We've lost our way.

Son ffs how did you not finish that?

by Unique Sun Nov 29, 2015 6:18 pm

arsenal are a strange team. scratch

by Art Morte Sun Nov 29, 2015 6:19 pm

It was a difficult chance, did well to even have that good a shot off.

But anyway, we got a lucky win and Arsenal only drew at Norwich, this was a good day Proud
