Saint Charlie Posted 2 May, 2016 Posted 2 May, 2016 Nathan Dyer the first Saints academy graduate to win the PL since Shearer Think Bridge won one with Chelsea too.
SaintSteve Posted 2 May, 2016 Posted 2 May, 2016 As physical as Spurs were, Chelsea are everything that's bad in the game...usual antics surrounding the referee..who was excellent. I wanted a Spurs victory as I always support ex Saints players/managers.. Who knows what Spurs team turns up next week now.. Although I suspect they will be determined to be 2nd.
stockportsaint Posted 2 May, 2016 Posted 2 May, 2016 Nathan Dyer the first Saints academy graduate to win the PL since Shearer Did he play enough games to qualify for a medal? Think you have to play at least 10 league games.

Someone posted on facebook that the game was like a 'Dirty Leeds' side of yesteryear playing a 'Dirty Leeds' side of yesteryear. proper throw-back that one. Really enjoyed it
Jimmy_D Posted 2 May, 2016 Posted 2 May, 2016 One thing's for sure, even more than usual, there will be no easy games next season. Every single team will be going into every single game with the belief they can win.
S-Clarke Posted 2 May, 2016 Posted 2 May, 2016 I'm going to put a bet on Burnley to win it next year.

Saint Charlie Posted 2 May, 2016 Posted 2 May, 2016 I'm going to put a bet on Burnley to win it next year. Saw earlier they are as low as 6/1 to finish in the top 10. Bookies learning lessons. Leicester 40/1 to win it again and 16/1 to go down next season.
Lets B Avenue Posted 2 May, 2016 Posted 2 May, 2016 He scored one of their turning point goals getting knocked out in the process. Hasn't featured a lot though. 12 sub appearances. More than enough.
Jimmy_D Posted 2 May, 2016 Posted 2 May, 2016 Heh, Schmeichel is almost exactly the same age, almost to the day, that his Dad was when he first won the Prem.
Lighthouse Posted 2 May, 2016 Posted 2 May, 2016 This will probably be the best 2 years ever for bookies. Doubt they will have too many payouts on Leicester winning the league, other than the odd "I stick a tenner on every season," Foxes fan. Will be nothing compared to the amount of money heaped on City, Chelsea, Utd Et. al. every season. Then next season everyone will be chucking money on their own club, saying, "there's no reason we can't 'do a Leicester'", only for it to end up being a dull 2 horse race between City and Chelsea again.

Indeed, although the payout for Leicester will be higher this season than you realise - I got 18/1 in december and they were top then.

Tenners and fivers at 5000/1 soon mount up. Not going to be a market for serious gambler waiting 9 months and bit of a lottery ie no inside knowledge or trends to spot
Jimmy_D Posted 2 May, 2016 Posted 2 May, 2016 Being reported that this is the biggest ever payout for bookies. Normally anything other than the favourite is a win for the bookies, but in this case it seems the odds were long enough that even with the lower volume of betting, it was enough for them to still be down.
GarrettIvo Posted 3 May, 2016 Posted 3 May, 2016 The Spurs forum is as hilarious as you'd expect. What a bunch of entitled asshats they are. Complaining because Chelsea didn't roll over for them. The entire league is a conspiracy for Leicester. etc It's cringeworthy. Yet, amusing.

Normally anything other than the favourite is a win for the bookies, but in this case it seems the odds were long enough that even with the lower volume of betting, it was enough for them to still be down. The PL outright book will be a big loser for all bookies, but most of the losses will have been covered by the record profits they will have been making on PL matches over the season. Some small independents could be in big trouble though
Deano6 Posted 3 May, 2016 Posted 3 May, 2016 clubs can get extra medals made on request. Were talking about this on 5live earlier. One for Dean Hammond too then?
doddisalegend Posted 3 May, 2016 Posted 3 May, 2016 from the BBC It was an emotional London derby at Stamford Bridge on Monday night, with Tottenham shown nine yellow cards, the most by a single team in a match in Premier League history. Classy spurs classy...
East Kent Saint Posted 3 May, 2016 Posted 3 May, 2016 As Walker kicked Pedro in the shin as he lay on the ground in the first few minutes you wonder if spurs were told to provoke chelsea at every opportunity ! If Saints had produced even half of those tackles / off the ball incidents in a match we would have been down to 8 men before half time !
Whitey Grandad Posted 3 May, 2016 Posted 3 May, 2016 from the BBC It was an emotional London derby at Stamford Bridge on Monday night, with Tottenham shown nine yellow cards, the most by a single team in a match in Premier League history. Classy spurs classy... Another yellow for Dier should have made it ten. Five cards invokes a nasty letter from the FA. I don't know what they'd get for nine.
sadoldgit Posted 3 May, 2016 Posted 3 May, 2016 MotD put together a montage of the bad fouls last night and despite Chelsea's habit of making a meal of any physical contact, it was pretty damming.
