Premier League Round Up (Feb 2-3 2016)

While our league season was being completely torpedoed at Leicester, things continued to get interesting at the top where both Spurs and Leicester are still very much in the hunt for the title. City or Arsenal are still the most likely winners but in a week when our club continues to shit on us from a great height under the pretence of “having to compete financially” it’s great to see Leicester still at the top and (to a lesser extent) Spurs chasing them hard. That extra £2m the cunts are squeezing out of us next season is really going to make all the difference though I'm sure.

 

It’s not all about spending hundreds of millions on building a team, it’s about finding a match winner or two that can set everything off. City spend fucking shitloads in every position on the park, yet the only reason they’re any good is Sergio Aguero. They go as far as his goals take them. I mean fucking hell, look at what they’ve spent on the likes of that Otamendi turd and Mangala jabroni. Leicester on the ther hand, have Wes Morgan and Robert fucking Huth at the back but they’re top because they’ve got Vardy and Mahrez.

 

FSG are playing on this bullshit (and loads of our fans are buying into it) about needing hundreds of millions to be able to compete with the super rich clubs, but where has that gotten us? We’ve spent more than most but we still stink because we keep buying overpriced shite, or occasionally overpriced mediocrity. We don’t need more money to compete, we need the expertise to be able to identify and then sign a couple of lads who can put the ball in the net.

 

Case in point, City were completely outplayed at Sunderland and rode their luck throughout, but they won it thanks to an early Aguero goal. Sunderland played really well and but for Joe Hart and the woodwork they’d have gotten at least a draw. They won’t be a pushover for us on Saturday. Ok, that’s stating the bleedin’ obvious I know, Jossy’s fucking Giants wouldn’t be a pushover for us at the moment as no cunt can score. 

 

City of course had made the headlines earlier in the week after first Pellegrini announced he was leaving at the end of the season, and the club then followed it up by confirming what everyone other than deluded United fans already knew, that Guardiola was taking charge. 

 

Couldn’t give a fuck to be honest. It’s as relevant to us as when Sunderland appointed Fat Sam or Villa hired Remi Garde. We’re not competing with City at the top or Villa at the bottom, so I heard this and just shrugged my shoulders and went back to being pissed off at my own club.

 

Pellegrini is a classy fella though, I quite like him and wish him well. Unless he ends up at Chelsea in which case he can obviously go and take a long run off a short pier.

 

Spurs are up to third after a comfortable win at Norwich. Deli Alli opened the scoring *grinds teeth* and Harry Kane made it 2-0 from the spot after Alli *grinds teeth* had been fouled. That was a seriously dodgy decision though and Spurs seem to be getting soft pens on a fortnightly basis now. Kane wrapped it up in stoppage time with his second of the game. 

 

Kane is fucking ace, not even his annoying face changes that for me, I’m completely past that now. He’s great, and you know what the greatest thing about him is? Its not his goals, or his work rate or his unselfish link play. No, it’s the fact that he’s out there every fucking week no matter what. I wish that cunt we pay £150k a week had even half the durability and desire of Kane, but he doesn’t, and that’s why Spurs are challenging for the title and we’re struggling to stay in the top half. 

 

Apparently Sturridge is unhappy with us and feels like he needs a change. HE’S unhappy with US??? Are you fucking kidding me? That’s like walking into someone’s living room, taking a massive shit on the rug and then kicking off and walking out because of the smell. Fucking twat. Watch the fucker miraculously stay fit for a few months now so he can try and catch the eye of other clubs.

 

While Spurs’ star is in the ascendancy, Arsenal are going the other way and have gone from first to fourth in the space of a fortnight. Good, hopefully they’ll stay there the arrogant gobshites. They were held to a goalless draw at home by Southampton and appear to have caught Liverpoolitis as they’ve gone three games without a goal now. At least they’re making the keeper work though, Fraser Forster was like Gordon Banks on Tuesday night.

 

Elsewhere, United ended their goal drought with a 3-0 win at half to Stoke that included the rare luxury of a couple of first half goals. I have nothing else to say on it as I fast forwarded it on MOTD as given how much we stink I’ll be fucked if I watch this shitty United side pull further ahead of us.

 

West Ham moved further ahead of us too after beating Villa 2-0 at Upton Park. Ayew was sent off for smashing Cresswell in the face with a hell of an elbow. The best part about this was how sympathetic Slaven Bilic was as Ayew went off. Usually a manager would be furious if one of his players had been levelled like that, but Bilic - no stranger to throwing the odd elbow himself - was all like "hard lines son". 

 

It looked like he did it for no reason as Cresswell didn’t appear to be doing anything. He had a hand on his shoulder but that’s it, so I reckon he pinched him or dug his nails in or did some kind of sneaky South American type shit. Fair play. Well ok, not fair play, kudos is probably a better word. I like that kind of underhanded villainy though, it makes me think of my beloved Luis. *wipes tear*

 

*clears throat* Anyway, moving on (if only I actually could)… Bournemouth won again. Good for them. They signed a striker a few weeks back and he’s scored three already. The joke’s on them though as everybody knows there’s no value in the January window. Hahaha stupid naive little club, spending their money in January instead of keeping their powder dry until the summer. They'll learn soon enough. Losers.

 

Someone called Mark Pugh also scored, I’m fucked if I know who he is though. I can’t remember ever seeing him before but it turns out he’s scored more this season than Lallana, Ibe and Milner combined.

 

They did us a favour because if Palace had picked up the three points they’d have gone above us. I’ll say again though, since Bolasie went out Palace have been as bad as us in the final third. Zaha is playing very well to be fair, but that’s all they’ve got really. Still, I bet Adebayor bangs in at least half a dozen goals before the end of the season.

 

Swansea looked like they were about to continue their recent revival and pick up another three points at West Brom only to give up a stoppage time equaliser. Sigurdsson had put them ahead (it feels like he scores every week) but Rondon equalised with the last kick of the game from a corner. Well of course it was a corner, it’s Pulisball.

 

There were two games on Wednesday night but I didn’t watch either because… well fuck football right now. The Blueshite thumped Newcastle and Chelsea drew again, this time at Watford. I really thought they’d get their act together once they removed their helmet, but thankfully it hasn’t happened yet.

Forster looked very good on the highlights. I'm trying to remember if I've ever seen Mignolet make himself big like that, a genuine presence. He always seems to come towards an attacker in the box like someone crouching to shit whilst gurning and doing jazz hands. Then picking the ball out of the net.

I read that about Sturridge. If he had anything about him he should be feeling guilty for being paid the last 2 seasons and feel like he owes the club and fans something but obviously not. Modern footballers eh?

Just in relation to Kane I heard a stat about a few weeks ago that he started his 50th consecutive league game for Spurs. We'd be lucky to get 50 consecutive minutes from Sturridge.
