Premier League Thread - 2010/2011 Season

[Adi]

Discuss the English Premier League here...

Chelsea is on a roll but their fixtures are finally starting to tighten up.  Impressive start to the season though, even if it was against weaker opposition.

How long can Drogba keep up his play?  I sure hope for at least 2-3 more years.

Everton vs Liverpool is gonna be delicius this weekend. Who's playing at home? I call a 2-2 draw here.

[bstcahill]

everton is home. i say 3-1 as we pile on the misery to our cross park rivals!...i have so much faith i removed gerrard and have 3 everton players on my fantasy team!

[Adi]

Think you guys can score 3 goals?! I was being very optimistic when I predicted 2 goals. Liverpool is off defensively right now but do you even have a striker to field? 

[bstcahill]

we have about the same number of strikers as bayern i think

[Adi]

Chelsea is without Drogba, Lampard, Alex, and Kalou this weekend against Aston Villa.  You have a chance Benbow... probably still 1-0 or 2-0 to Chelsea though.

Fabregas might not play either this weekend.  Protective Wenger.

Everton 2 - 0 Liverpool

Tevez with another 2 goals!

Nice goal by Silva too!  Kompany - best center back in England.

So far is it me or does it seem that the PL hasnt had the same intensity that last years had?

It seems to me that it just isnt as exciting as last yrs, even if it is october

[Adi]

I think it's due to some top teams sctruggling... Man U and Liverpoo. The promoted sides have been the main source of excitement so far, which simply doesn't measure up to the top teams battling it out for the top spot.  I think it'll get good though.  Chelsea will probably run away with it but 2-5 should as good as always.
