He does, it's a shame he'll have to finish the season at Bolton(looks likely in the Cahill deal) but I suppose if he gets 90 mins a game for the rest of the season it will be better for development than sitting on the bench.

It 100% is. Like I said Caulker for Spurs looks a gem and he has spent the whole the season at Swansea.

With him on one flank and Sturridge on the other (and some comical defending, it has to be said) they have been quite fun to watch.

Oh how we laughed when Terry fell over in the Arsenal game to let the 4th goal in. It is my favorite part of the season so far.

Malouda passed it back to him. God knows what he thought as he fell over.

Lucky!

Should have received a red card in the first half, something he himself felt he was fortunate to avoid.

Notice more & more managers (generally of losing teams) now blaming refs after a game?

Seems there are 3 or 4 each week where a clear cut penalty should have been given, it wasn't a penalty, he was offside, there was a handball in the lead up etc...

Must have a thick skin to be a ref with so much scrutiny.

He was extremely lucky there, but I'm glad he got the chance to make up for his bad pass against AV.

Who would want to be a ref, umpire etc nowadays with all the slow mo's, replays etc.

Title race is effectively over. Anyone but City would be nice

Re: 2011-12 EPL Thread

Much rather City win it than Utd, although both have looked shaky of late. Spurs still keeping pace, not sure they can keep it going all season but they are tough to beat right now.

Yeah not this season, but AVB will build a great squad it will just take a little time.

We're still a chance for a trophy though.

He's not is he, but apparently he sees AVB as a long term manager and realises we are a team in transition ATM. I try not to get to attached to managers as they come and go pretty quickly nowadays.
