Andy Carroll with the hat trick in the early match. 2 headers and a nice left footed volley.

Due to Carroll, the match with Arsenal ended in a 3-3 draw, effectively eliminating Arsenal from the league title. Of course this is good news and The Gunners have become unbearably non-White this season.

First off,thanks to Freethinker for trying to keep this thread going,despite the game in question not being one you primarily follow.These kind of posts help,not some random post made with a single agenda of heaping undeserved praise on a fellow non white for reasons seemingly inspired by homosexuality,if one were to go by the posting history of the poster in question.

Back to the game,Arsenal were cruising 2-0 up till a talentless black called Iwobi,a youth team player who should never be allowed anywhere near the first team in the first place,messed up the simplest of passes which led to Arsenal losing possession and then Carroll's first goal (watch the buildup carefully) :

Its really pathetic that such incidents happen in professional football.But then we can have real professional football or diversity,not both.

Now the Leicester game.Vardy was phenomenal in the game against Sunderland,which had an all black back 4,in a team with four whites.
This all black defense is one of the worst in the league as evident in Vardy's two goals:

(make note of the Drinkwater assist)

https://streamable.com/6ny8

Black-Jew Yedlin is the worst of the lot and was extremely lucky to not concede a penalty when he kicked Okazaki out out of the air,when competing for a high ball.Special mention for Defoe who was horribly bad.

I don't know what's more pathetic....this Sunderland team or the fact that Aston "resigned to relegation well before Christmas thanks to an average of eight black starters" Villa cancelled their goal of the month poll as they haven't scored in over a month.With Newcastle to soon join this pair in being relegated,the PL will be a lot whiter...for a little while atleast.

i think that leicester probably winning the league is more a failure from the big teams than a real upset
the best player in the PL has to be debruyne, had he been healthy all season maybe manchester city would have won the league, but obviously nobody wants that to happen

Aston Villa lose 1-0 against Man. United today, assuring their relegation. Their final lineup that got them officially relegated: 7 blacks and 4 whites. Good riddance to this team. Even BSPN ran an article on Aston Villa, stating that all of their recent pickups (i.e. terrible black players) would likely not be on another Premier League team's radar this offseason. They must really suck if that's the case.

Kevin de Bruyne had put in a stellar performance against Chelsea this Saturday is now rightly being talked about as the best player in the league.The game finished 3-0,with all goals being scored by Aguero.KDB was instrumental in the first two goals:


https://streamable.com/2xyu

https://streamable.com/8d9n

The videos aren't perfect.In the first one you miss most of how Mikel(God knows what he has done to earn a lifetime contract at Chelsea) messes up and in the second the video doesn't show how KDB beat two Chelsea players with some great trickery.

In other news Vardy has scored another goal in a game against which ended 2-2 giving Tottenham a chance at the title:

https://streamable.com/gvb9

Vardy now also faces a three match suspension,so the game was very bad overall,from our perspective.Also,Leicester were robbed a clear penalty in the 89th minute(they got one even later in the game,however):

https://streamable.com/377c

Finally Arsenal seem to cement their position in 4th with a dire,dire 1-1 against a really pathetic and black Crystal Palace.Its almost as if Wenger cannot sleep at night if they are anything but 4th.Walcott was the worst player in the game,with this damning video proving his uselessness:

https://streamable.com/zei8

This useless black flop is on 140K a week and much like Mikel is guaranteed a contract for life,all just for being black.

Here are the remaining fixtures for title contenders Leicester and Spurs (what an odd feeling - I’d never imagined including that combination of clubs in a sentence about championship contenders with four matches remaining… except as a potential slapstick punchline, that is…). Since Arsenal are still in with a mathematical chance, let’s magnanimously include their run in as well.

LEICESTER:

Swansea City (home)
Manchester United (away)
Everton (home)
Chelsea (away)

SPURS:

West Bromwich Albion (home)
Chelsea (away)
Southampton (home)
Newcastle United (away)

ARSENAL:

Sunderland (away)
Norwich (home)
Manchester City (away)
Aston Villa (home)

Meanwhile, at the other end of the table...

CRYSTAL PALACE:

Newcastle United (away)
Stoke City (home)
Southampton (away)

NORWICH CITY:

Arsenal (away)
Manchester United (home)
Watford (home)
Everton (away)

SUNDERLAND:

Arsenal (home)
Stoke City (away)
Chelsea (home)
Everton (home)
Watford (away)

NEWCASTLE UNITED:

Liverpool (away)
Crystal Palace (home)
Aston Villa (away)
Tottenham Hotspur (home)

Aston Villa, of course, have already been relegated.

Three of City's four goals were scored by blacks. :mad:

Liverpool have started seven Whites, three blacks, and one mestizo in the game against antebellum plantation style Newcastle United (three Whites, seven blacks, one mestizo). Negro Daniel Sturridge has scored for Liverpool after a mere two minutes...

It's all but over for Spurs after a surprise draw at home against West Brom.

Kane didn't add to his goals tally but he still leads in goals over Vardy and Aguero. Lukaku and Mahrez are fourth and fifth. Vardy should be the top scorer for the (likely) new champs Leicester as he has five more than Algerian Mahrez with three matches (two for Vardy) left.

and the pattern doesn't seem to change
i have seen reports about tottenham wanting to sign umtiti from lyon
he's from lyon ans they already bought clinton njie who flopped really bad from lyon, but now they want another player from that club, black ofcourse
forget that league where the best player is a middle aged arab from le havre
hoping the white star players there make good money and possibly move to another league once they have taken all the money there is to take

sakho from liverpool was caught using prohibited drug to make him less fat
the incredible thing is in PL there is a lot of emphasis on fitness suposedly, but they have fat black players like sakho playing regularly
if you're white and not fast / too old then you can't play, but if you're the most unathletic player ever and you're black, welcome to the PL
there are many players, white and black, who once they have signed for a PL club don't even care about the game, and start gaining weight
they have the money, it's the only thing that matters to them

In positive news, the worst teams, newcastle, villa, sunderland are all at the bottom, and white friendly teams like bournmouth are staying up, with white teams burnley and middlesborough showing the way in the championship.

Obviously there are some worries, but the premier league has a choice, more no mark black players and its continued failure in the champions leage will be evident.

Its important to note their have been alot of high profile white english injuries such as jack wilshire, jay rodriguez, luke shaw and danny ings coming back soon. Plus andy carrols back in the frey :)

Just finished watching Spurs and Chelsea draw 2:2 at Stamford Bridge. What a fantastic match, definitely one of the more exciting matches I've seen in the Premier League this year, in fact possibly the very best match of the entire season. Hazard's goal which won the league for Leicester was nothing short of brilliant link up play with Diego Costa, Hazard also beat like 2 or 3 defenders by himself in that play, one of the better goals of the year.

I'm very happy that Leicester won, and from the first matchday I was supporting Leicester and Stoke. It is great to see a small club like Leicester win the title. It does get a bit boring year after year after year that only Man U, Man City, Chelsea, or the like winning the title. This is a massive upset.

Mahrez is the PFA Player of the Year and he deserves it. He has 15 or so goals in the year, but keep in mind he is a midfielder. Vardy, Kane,Aguero, and Lukaku might be ahead of him but those guys are all out and out strikers, so it's not exactly a fair comparison. Unquestionably, Mahrez form has been stellar throughout the year. Mahrez was purchased for something like 450,000 Pounds but I'm guessing he'd now sell for literally 100 times that. I read an article the other day that claimed he is now worth 30,000,000+.

Vardy is the media's Player of the Year and he also deserves that. Vardy has been exceptional and has shown a clinical presence up front. It's really been a joy watching Vardy play this year. At the beginning of the year he was in phenomenal form, and has been an absolute revelation. Its hard to imagine that this is a guy who barely even got to play in the Premier League and only 2 years ago, was being virtually ignored by all the top clubs in England. Similar to undrafted white free agents in the NFL, or Tyson Fury the white boxer being censored by his own UK media in favour of undeserving Negroes, Vardy is a footballer who has clearly been underestimated by the supposed "top level scouts" and "experts" for probably his whole life. Great to see a guy like him making it big. If you look at the big clubs in England (Man U, Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal) they're mainly promoting Negro footballers and the young English players they have tend to be Negro. This bias is what allows guys like Jamie Vardy to slip through the cracks. Clearly things are not based on merit. How he was not already part of a big club is beyond me, but its understandable when you understand the pro-Black bias many Premier League clubs have. Great to see Vardy prove these morons wrong! Sometimes they call them "football experts" but the truth is these people don't know sh1t (lol).

Other than Vardy and Mahrez, in my opinion, the play of Austrain Christian Fuchs and German Robert Huth have been excellent for Leicester.

Itd be awesome if Leicester can remain in tact and possibly even add to their club in the summer. Its been a pleasure watching them become Champions this year. There will be clubs offering a lot of money for Mahrez, Vardy, perhaps even Albrighton and Drinkwater, but I think they should hold onto these guys and even add a few.

Hmmm. It's funny you should say that. Remember this?

BoxingSpecialist2 said:
Harry Kane has looked piss-poor, if he's the best young striker England's got, no wonder the national team is consistently crapping itself on the big stage. Maybe he had a big year last year, but he lacks finishing big time.

You made that statement back on the 20th of September. Just in case your memory requires refreshing, here's a link to the relevant post:

http://castefootball.us/index.php?threads/english-premier-league-2015-2016.17568/page-5#post-331553

Well, Kane has banged in 25 goals thus far (that's four more than last season) so I guess his finishing isn't too shabby.

I'm pretty sure that Bosnia and Herzegovina, Turkey, and every North African or Middle Eastern nation would love to have such a striker at their disposal...

At the time I made that comment Kane was playing very poorly. Finally, I can recall him scoring an amazing goal, undoubtedly one of the best volleys of the whole calendar year - into his own net!

Credit to Harry Kane though, he's done very well since that, and he managed to turn things around and finished the season strongly from a poor start.

Does anybody else think that English (and I guess all European; I hardly watch continental Euro soccer) soccer players returning fan's applause (rather than with a big wave of the hand) with... applause looks... gay? Either that, or on TV anyway, it looks like they're mocking the applause coming their way (or applauding themselves). You never see American athletes returning applause with applause.

mahrez recently said that there was a huge difference in quality between the french league and the english league
well, only in money, because in results the french club PSG does better than all the english clubs combined in champions league lately
he said that the EPL was like the NBA of soccer :D
the only thing that makes the PL exist is the fact that asians don't care about the teams, they only like 1 player per team and it's enough for them to follow that team
leicester have an asian sponsor and an asian "star" player
everytime i watch PL matches there are brands on the jerseys of the teams and on the sidelines that i can't identify because they are only written in chinese, thai etc
kind of like the spanish league with arab sponsors and fans
except the spanish league is better in every way

Why are Thai (and other Asian) Millionaires heavily involved in english football?

http://www.sportsrevolution.co.uk/why-are-thai-millionaires-buying-english-football-clubs/

Because the Premier League has prestige and it brings them, and their business, gravitas, something which is much sought after in this part of the world. Owning an English football club seems to be the current ultimate status symbol.

As anyone who has lived among Asians can tell you they are obsessed with status. Wherever in the West there are Asians there are shops and markets selling illegal knock-offs of Western goods with prominently displayed labels on them. They don't realise how prole they look. Being seen to be prestigious is everything to them. They'd rather go hungry than without their status symbols.

They are also very much into gambling. EPL betting is probably more popular in Asia than actually watching the matches.

Two good goals in the 2nd half between Man City and Arsenal. First De Bruyne scored a good goal then Alexis Sanchez and Giroud combined brilliantly for an Arsenal goal. There was also some comedy involving a black player for City, I think it was Iheanacho. He was a approaching the box with an unmarked man - Navas - to his right but instead of passing he decided to go for glory and missed by a mile. Pathetic.

It's looking like Jurgen Klopp will be whitening up Liverpool a bit for next season. They've been heavily linked with Mario Gotze, and also appear to have signed 21 year old Polish midfield Piotr Zielinski from Udinese. They've been linked with Leicester fullback Ben Chilwell; hopefully these signings come to fruition.

It also sounds like Benteke and Kolo Toure may be done there as well. Balotelli will also likely not be taken back as well as Steven Caulker, who's going back to QPR.

I really don't think this summer can be worse than last summer's transfers for the BPL.
