Premier League 2011/12 general thread

Has Warnock ever been able to cope with the Premiership?

To be fair if the FA weren't so spineless over the West Ham Tevez affair Sheff United would have stayed up.

Nice to see MOTD fail to include the challenge highlighted elsewhere on this thread.

He's done/does pretty well given the Budget and players he had/has to work with. Thought QPR played rather well in the 1st half, shame we were **** in the 2nd.

Yep poor.

Nice to see Wes Brown have a good start Prinny I hope he stays fit for you mate, what happened to O Shea?

[prinnysquad]

He was injured against Bielefeld, and is being kept out as a precaution. Nothing major apparently, but no point in rushing him back.

Brown was a colossus yesterday.

[Flabio]

Well that was one of the most underwhelming starts to a premier league season for a while wasn't it? Good result for Bolton, QPR are nowhere near as bad as they appeared to be there and will almost certainly pick it up soon.

Trying to decide if I've been football starved enough to want to go down into town and catch todays ones in the pub or not.

[abigsmurf]

Yeah, all the big games yesterday were pretty poor.

Hopefully Chelsea will keep their form from pre-season today...

[toythatkills]

?20m, and I could have saved that shot de Gea just let in. Amazing.

[Jebus]

Yeah that was nice for you guys. Warnock trying to slag off Davies was pretty weak.

Did he? What was his problem now? Strikes me he should have complained about his players, letting 4 goals in at home on the opening day? Playing 4-2-4 against a team playing 4-4-2? Twat.

[Flabio]

He was saying that Davies has the skill to commit lots of fouls and get away with them. Called him a 'seasoned pro' in a tone that suggested he disapproved.

[abigsmurf]

West Brom were dominating, Man U get one attack and they get an own goal. Wish we had that kind of luck.

Amusing hearing the commentators going on about the "Man U spirit" after it.

[toythatkills]

It's Man Utd all over, that, and it's why they win the league every year. They never believe they're out of a game, when teams like Arsenal believe they're out of a game half the time even if they're 3-0 up.

[abigsmurf]

How does having a single attack resulting in a lucky goal show belief/spirit? They were getting hammered and got a let off. Spirit doesn't come into it.

[toythatkills]

If they didn't have belief, they wouldn't have been up there. Any other team under the cosh like that would have had every man back in their box but United don't play that way, they expect to get forward and so they're always ready for it.

[hudson]

Is that true? One shot on target for Mancs? Magical result for them if true.
