Premier League Fixtures 1st/2nd September 2012

Saturday 1st September 2012

West Ham v Fulham
Swansea v Sunderland
Tottenham v Norwich
West Brom v Everton
Wigan v Stoke
Man City v QPR

Sunday 2nd September 2012

Liverpool v Arsenal
Newcastle v Aston Villa
Southampton v Man Utd

It's always hard to predict the result of a trip to Anfield (unlike, say, OT or Stoke) but this time it should be at least quite entertaining. We've looked pretty solid so far at while Liverpool have problems with suspension (Agger); injury (Lucas) and drop in form (Reina). On the other hand, while Suarez is almost as wasteful as our forwards, at least he's scored this season. A score draw at least; if Liverpool play like they did vs City they'll have the edge.

Likely line-up

Mannone/Chesney

Jenkinson - Mert - Verm - Gibbs

Walcott - Diaby - Arteta

Cazorla

Giroud - Poldi

Not good going into international break with 0 points, so hopefully we can snatch something, but hard to see anything but another loss.

Don't fancy our defence one bit vs Cisse/Ba/Ben Arfa

Jack Collison "obviously" 7 times in 30 seconds

BEAT THAT

Carroll sets up a goal in 50 seconds.

Agger is back; only had a 1 game suspension.

Reina

Johnson
Skrtel
Agger
Enrique

Allen
Sahin
Shelvey

Gerrard
Suarez
Sterling

Borini will surely start Lewis, probably Sahin or Shelvey will miss out.

Yeah maybe so. I quite like Borini, just hoping Sterling doesn't drop to the bench as he deserves to start.

Carrol's move looks like a dandy, 3-0!

Fulham have been awful here.

David Gold is grinning wider than the Cheshire Cat.

Liverpool were stupid to release Carroll, Fulham were stupid to release Dembele. But we all knew this.

It's obviously time for Jack Collison

Thank yoooooooou Liverpool!

Our club must be ran by retards, it just must be.

Obviously another 7 from Collison, solid performance. It looks like he's been told not to say "obviously" so often, every time he says it a look of guilt and regret sweeps his face

Ah hell. There goes Carroll's hamstring

you break it, you bought it.

Our luck, make an magnificent signing, and he pulls a hamstring in the first game. Upton Park's cursed.

No refunds.

Phew, supposedly its only tightness of the hamstring, and not a full pull.

Feel bad for ruining Martin Jol and Fulham's season

Seriously though, Bornini should start. Rather Gerrard in the midfield

Just for anyone who can't watch SSN

i watched the epl transfers, me wonders, how many english players will survive to play in the first 11

city got maicon, garcia, this means no richards or barry/milner

united got kagawa, van persie, this means welbeck will be benched

and so on

the end of english football (in the top flight) is NEAR, what will happen when the chelsea old boys retire?

you know (every one knows) that this is not the truth

well everyone bar japan, the deluded PES devs think that england is stronger then ze german team, no wonder kagawa was desperate to join the EPL

the near east market is still under the illusion that the EPL is the benchmark in terms of football

PES STATS

How are Sunderland lined up? Just seen their team and I can't make out four defenders... And they've managed to fit in Johnson, Larsson, McLean, Sessegnon and Fletcher...
