Top four finish now a bit harder for Arsenal. Need to keep winning not drawing.

I didnt even need to check to know who scored for Man U. Maybe if we miss finishing in the top 4 the message will get through to those in charge of the club that selling our best player every year isnt the way to success.

Yep, Villa destroyed the Mackems 6-1. I thought Benteke was a donkey but he's really shone in the second half of the season.

Based on what? Benteke is only 22, quick, strong with great skills. He is 4th on the top goal scorers list with 18 in a team that have struggled for the most part to even create chances. If villa were relegated tomorrow there would be 20 Premier League teams fighting for his services.

Based on the first half of the season where he looked like a donkey.

Still a fair chance that he is a one season wonder too.

Only read the first part of the sentence? Try reading it again. He didn't have 18 goals in the first half of the season did he? He was butchering the finish constantly. Agree about the amount of teams that'd be after him, regardless of relelgation, but that wasn't part of my comment.

Was there anybody who had 18 goals in the first half of the season? Missing a few chances doesn't make you a donkey. Watching some highlights of him missing a goal is hardly evidence that the kid can't play. I've watched him plenty of times & from day dot he was a good signing, so your comments are inaccurate.

You're obviously a good judge!

Rubbish he was absolutely piss poor in the first half of the season. Has a poor first touch and can't pass the ball to save himself.

Ho good a player is Cissefor Newcastle? Or Jelavic for Everton? Or Carroll? Or Michael Ricketts?

You must be watching a different game because none of that is accurate. How many times did you see him play?
No question he has improved as the season has gone on but to call him a donkey & critique his first half of the season as piss poor is complete rubbish.

I watched him about 9 times to start the season. There is a reason the manager was heavily criticised for not playing Bent early.

Wigan keep the door ever so slightly ajar with a 3 - 2 win against WBA.

You'd be happy Gary. You still have two very winnable games to go and should finish above Newcastle and Norwich(one of these two will go down IMO).

Looks like the fight for top 4 spots is going to go down to the wire.

Hull promoted, last spot to go to the play off winner between Leicester, Brighton, Watford & Crystal Palace.

It will need another miracle but I didn't expect a win against WBA. Probably need 5 points from the remaining 3 games and I still think we won't get there.

Re: 2012-13 EPL Thread

Really is a wasted season.

Played United 5 times for 3 wins, a draw and a dodgy loss. Our players should be embarrassed.
