Manager of the Year - Tony Pulis or Chris Hughton.
Genuinely interested in your reasoning for the former. Stoke have spent a lot of money to be where they are, so I don't see it personally.

Re: 2012-13 English Premier League/Cups Thread - Where attempted murder happens

Taking into account my limited viewing:

Manager of the Year - David Moyes (Steve Clarke a close 2nd)
Player of the Year - Van Persie
Best youth player (21 or under) - Nastasic (purely on Snrub's pimping of him)
Best summer signing - Van Persie/Michu
Worst summer signing - Marin or Sahin (purely from lack of game time rather than performance based)
Goal of the season - Baines vs Newcastle, Jerome vs Southampton (big fan of Van Persie vs Fulham as well)
Biggest surprise - Everton, Newcastle struggling
Biggest disappointment - bugger knows. Anderson's injury problems because he's played well and I can think of sod all else
(Any) Prediction for the 2nd half - Tomas Rosicky will still not be a football.

Re: 2012-13 English Premier League/Cups Thread - Where attempted murder happens

Assuming the bloke survived with no bad injuries, I'm gonna have to say this is funniest moment of the season:

Usually something like that would be followed by shock, then silence. Only pissed up football fans in Scotland, hey? :lmao

Re: 2012-13 English Premier League/Cups Thread - Where attempted murder happens

The Hibs fan who posted that in the other Football thread said that he walked away with no injuries, but then again if that happened to me at a football ground I'd probably make the same claim as I leave the stadium with a limp and clutching my ribs

Good call on QPR. Completely forgot about them. Bosingwa is definitely the worst signing of the summer. Can't believe someone in England actually gave him a job.

If you had to think, 'If someone in England was to give him a job, who would it be?', then its rather obvious.

Manager of the Year - Michael Laudrup (changed Swansea's style, brought in some good signings and, has them slightly better off than Rodgers did.)
Player of the Year - Robin van Persie
Youth Player OTY - Rafael
Best summer signing - Michu
Worst summer signing - Bosingwa, Scott Sinclair, Javi Garcia
Biggest surprise - RVP recovering from his near death experience, Aston Villa conceding 15 goals in 3 games.
Biggest disappointment - Newcastle's injury problems/form.

Prediction for 2nd half of the year - Chelsea failing to qualify for the Champions League, Wigan getting relegated

Re: 2012-13 English Premier League/Cups Thread - Where attempted murder happens

It's bizarre seeing RAWK quotes about Suarez' goal vs Newcastle, especially being mentioned as one of the best goals ever & a work of rare footballing genius, then only one person mentioning it as goal of the first half of the season so far.

Not that RAWK isn't generally bizarre.

Worst summer signing - Joe Allen
you having a laugh lad?

Brendan Rodgers must have some sort condition that prevents him from keeping any type of information to himself. He's pretty much just revealed his team and tactics to Fergie for next weeks game. It'll be interesting to see how far journalists could go during one of Brendan's press conferences. I'm sure they could get him to announce his credit card details and the fact that he likes to dress up as a woman on non match days.
we've played the exact same way in pretty much every game this season. Its not exactly a surprise.

Manager of the Year - Steve Clarke
Player of the Year - RVP/Suarez
Best youth player (21 or under) - Lukaku
Best summer signing - Michu
Worst summer signing - Rodwell, Garcia, pretty much any of QPR's signings.
Goal of the season - idk, too many to remember so i'll be biased and say Suarez vs Newcastle :suarez1
Biggest surprise - West Brom, Chelsea sacking RDM and replacing him with Rafa
Biggest disappointment - Rosicky still isn't a football
(Any) Prediction for the 2nd half - Everton to make the top 4, Arsenal to finish outside of the CL places.

Re: 2012-13 English Premier League/Cups Thread - Where attempted murder happens

Not sure how anyone can put anything other than Jerome's strike vs Southampton down for goal of the season so far. Last minute to secure a point too.

Pulis has done a fantastic job at Stoke. Not necessarily limited to just this season but since he took over the transformation has been incredible. Took a really average squad dwindling between League 1 and the Championship and established them as a regular mid-table team in the Premier League with a FA Cup Final and a run in Europe. Amazing that there was a large group of locals wanting him out the at the start of the season they get promoted. Great at getting the best out of "decent" players too. Not sure I agree with the he's spent money to get where they are argument. They didn't have money to spend when they came up and haven't spent excessively in any window. Pretty sure they haven't spend any more per window than most other teams in that position. Scoring tons of goals is no use if you can't defend either. Their home record speaks for itself. Barely anyone goes there and beats them.

Van Persie for best signing. Michu purely on value but Van Persie's had the bigger impact and is the difference between us being top and maybe as low as 3rd.

Re: 2012-13 English Premier League/Cups Thread - Where attempted murder happens

Because I'm bored at work I will do my team -

------------Begovic
Zabaleta Huth Williams Baines
--------Sandro Carrick
--------Mata Fellaini
-------van Persie Suarez

Bit of a silly formation, but it was the only way of getting in the players in the positions that they've played.

Not sure I agree with the he's spent money to get where they are argument. They didn't have money to spend when they came up and haven't spent excessively in any window. Pretty sure they haven't spend any more per window than most other teams in that position.
I think Stoke have the third highest net spend in the league over the last 5 years. He has spent plenty.
