Premier league is over.. Gunna watch french and spanish football more now lol.

It was a pity West Ham couldn't have held on today (mind you, Arsenal always have the ability to disappoint). Watch SPL instead hahahahaha - thrilling stuff, honest :hugesmile:

Nah cant watch Spl.

Only like rangers the rest are so meh.

Where as in spain for instance

Mallorca
Valencia
Villareal

follow them all lol.

Arsenal draw with 10 man Blackburn at the Emirates, and United have won the league :bored:

I can't understand these people jumping the gun saying that United have now won the league:conf:.

The gap at the top is 8 points but United could still drop points before then, plus Arsenal have a game in hand and play United at the Emirates in the May so the gap could be reduced by then so it's not over till it's mathamatically confirmed..

[bbfan1991]

Inter Milan lost 3-0 to AC yesterday:bawling::(.

United slip up once every like 15 games, they'll slip up once at most in the run in. Arsenal will probably still drop more points in the next 7 games than Utd, even though they need them more.

[bbfan1991]

Blackpool were considered safe at one point but now they're in amongst the battle to stay up, performances have dipped in the second half of the season for them and points are coming hard to get..

Fulham in top half of the table;).

[alc09]

if we can't beat a 10-man Blackburn at home then we don't deserve to win the season. :bored: ****ing pathetic.
:confused:

[DDRickyDD]

Manchester United have a poor team but it looks like the league is now wrapped up. Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City will be the other teams in the top 4. Tottenham will finish 5th and Liverpool 6th.

I can see Wigan finally going down (good, we don't want small clubs in the Premier League). Blackpool won't win again all season and will finish bottom, Holloways great adventure has well and truly ended. The other relegated team will be Blackburn Rovers so no Lancashire teams in the Premier League next season unless you count Bolton.

In the Championship QPR have wrapped up the league title, I can see Swansea getting 2nd place despite their loss at the weekend to a very determined Preston team. Norwich look like a good bet for the play off's and I like their yellow kit so hopefully we'll be seeing them in the Premier League next season. Nottingham Forest have collapsed when it looked like they were certainties for 2nd, can't see them even making the play-off's now.

In the relegation battle, Scunthorpe have all but gone (Will their knew manager be regreting his decision to leave Bury considering Bury won and look like they're going up to League One the same league which Scunthorpe are going to be in next season?). Preston finally showing some fight but I think it will be too late and they have a difficult game at Reading on Tuesday. Sheffield United, Preston North End and Scunthorpe will go down.

In League One, Brighton have obviously already won the league. Southampton will sneak 2nd and Huddersfield will win the play-offs. It would be good to see an historic team like Huddersfield back in the Championship.

What a fantastic season Dagenham & Redbridge are having in League One in their first season of third tier football. Plymouth are down and might be going out of business soon, lets hope for their sake that they survive.

Barcelona have already got La Liga won after Real Madrid's very unfortunate 1-0 defeat at home to Sporting Gijon which was Mourinho's first home loss in 9 years. Valencia and Villareal are miles ahead of the team in 5th and will get Champions League football next season. I can't belive Malaga are still bottom after their takeover in January and singing of Demichelis.

It looks like Internazional's dominance in Italy is coming to an end after their 3-0 loss to AC Milan. Napoli, AC Milan, Inter and Roma will be the teams in the Champions League places at the end of the season. Another dissapointing season for Juventus with them in only 7th position. This is simply unaccepatble from a club with such a big fanbase a history.

Thankfully no-one was hurt when three bombs were planted by a loon outside Borussia Dortmund's ground. The game went ahead and Dortmund won 4-1which puts them closer to winning the title. Bayern Munich won against Monchengladbach (The bottom team) with a goal from Robben. I think the CL teams will be Dortmund, Leverkusen and Bayern Munich.

Steve Mclaren has left his mark on Wolfsburg, they find themselves 3rd from bottom when the expectation was for them to challenge for the Europa League places at the start of the season. McLaren should have stayed with Twente in Holland, he made a terrible mess of the job at Wolfsburg. St Pauli's idiot liberal fans threw things at the linesman at the weekend, this is an utter disgrace and they should be given a point deduction by the DFB. I think Monchengladbach and St Pauli will go down with Stuttgart in the relegation play-off which they'll win.

Lille are 4 points clear in points clear of Marseille in France, it's a two horse race between the two team and I think Marseille will win it for the the 2nd time in a row. Lyon look in danger of not qualifiying for the CL but I think they will make it just. Lyon, Marseille and Lille to make the Champions League.

Arles-Avignon have got the be one of the worst team in European top flight history, they have got only 12 points after 29 games, 20 points from the 17th placed team. Monaco look like they're going down which is a same really as they are one of the most romantic clubs in Europe. Auxerre are somehow 17th despite playing the CL this season.

Porto have won the Portugesse league after beating Benfica at the Estadio de Luz and are only 5 games from going unbeatan all season in the league.

[Locke.]

Norwich have been playing attractive football this season, being described as the Arsenal of the Championship, so hopefully they come up.

Torres will get his first goal in a Chelsea shirt tomorrow

[Novo]

3-1 Chelsea it will be

[30stone]

Barcelona will beat shaktar though lol.
I wouldnt predict a crazy score there.

[Locke.]

Agger out for the rest of the season, Johnson out for a month, Kelly out for a month. This leaves our defence as:

Aurelio (just back from injury, never completes a full 90 mins), Kyrgiakos (responsible for both goals we conceded against West Brom), Wilson, Carragher, Skrtel. So we have 1 full back, unless we bring Flanagan or Robinson in from our reserve squad.

Man City and Arsenal the next 2 teams we play, we're going to concede about 5 goals in each one.

[Novo]

That is worse then Blackpools defence

[KG.]

Just die Rooney :bored:

[Novo]

Giggs just destroyed Bosingwa

[GiRTh]

WTF is wrong with Torres. He doesnt even attack that cross when it comes in. Just watches it go past him. 50mill that costs you.

[Novo]

Anelka or even Kalou should be used over Torres right now

[GiRTh]

Even Danny Sturridge would be doing better right now.

[Locke.]

If he would have touched that cross then it was 1-1. Can tell he isn't interested, just like he wasn't here for the last 6 months.

Still think he will score if he stays on tonight though

[KG.]

Did ol' Harry just call him Boswingwa? :joker:

Evra got off there lightly;). Chelsea wouldn't be complaining if they had a decision lets say if United were denied a stonewall penalty because in footie it's swing and roundabouts in terms of decisions for or against your team, and we've all been hypocritical at some point..

Yeah because Birmingham could get a penalty which wasn't and you can hold your hands up to say it wasn't, although unfair on the other team you would be happy it was given if it meant the Blues are safe in the PL for another season...

i probably would be happy,but i do believe we should get some stuff off the referees now because we are in serious danger of relegation thanks to the referees incompatance.

Chelsea were favourites (as expected at the Bridge) before the match, still all to play for in the second leg:).

[Rob]

okay i'll rephrase, everything went as i expected...

[bbfan1991]

Torres can't hit a barndoor for a while it seems now (:D). However I still like the guy as a player and he'll get his form back for some point and start clicking at Chelsea.

[Rob]

let's not forget, he's only really just got the Chelsea, give him time to gel, next season you will see him perform

[bbfan1991]

let's not forget, he's only really just got the Chelsea, give him time to gel, next season you will see him perform

As for Spurs they have a talented side but there needs to be changes up front and a few in defence if they're to further challenge for top 4 every season..

[Novo]

let's not forget, he's only really just got the Chelsea, give him time to gel, next season you will see him perform

Shevchenko scored in his first game for Chelsea.. Torres hasn't scored in 8 games

[Rob]

You can judge one player by another like that, they are different.

[bbfan1991]

Shevchenko scored in his first game for Chelsea.. Torres hasn't scored in 8 games

He is trying, tonight was one of his best recent games for Chelsea IMO. Let himself down by going down and getting booked but players for United e.g. Nani have done that before to even things out;).

[Locke.]

Also scored on his home debut for us

[Rob]

At least your not in spurs' position, we got a big defeat to come back from, mission impossible.

[bbfan1991]

Harry soon put those people who accused Aaron Lennon of being a bottler due to his illness:rolleyes::).

i can believe people like that, Lennon didn't bottle it, he wanted to be out there

[bbfan1991]

i can believe people like that, Lennon didn't bottle it, he wanted to be out there

I really rate Lennon:D, everyone talks about Bale but I find Lennon and Van Der Vaart more exciting to watch:). Bale has improved a lot though!

[Rob]

Bale is a very good player, but too overated, Van der Vaart is just something else.

[bbfan1991]

Bale is a very good player, but too overated, Van der Vaart is just something else.

Yeah;), stats wise Spurs do miss Van Der Vaart when he doesn't play as you're more effective when he is on the pitch.. where as for Bale he's been missing in a few games and hasn't been a very big miss..

[Rob]

i'm really suprised Van der vaart didn't manage to get at least one past real to be completely honest!

[bbfan1991]

Crouch had to mess everything up:D.

I can see Arry selling Keane and Pavlyuchenko to buy at least 2/3 more strikers and maybe a centre defender to replace King/Woodgate who are injury prone.

[DDRickyDD]

After the 1st legs we know who will play who in the Semi-Finals. It's going to be;

Real Madrid v Barcelona
Schalke v Manchester United

[30stone]

The funniest thing ive seen in a while the commontator on the United vs chelsea game.


Shaktar have scored, which annoyed barcelona, as they have just scored, again..

[30stone]

One of the funniest things ive heard, jamie redknapp?? LOL


Sergio ramos is scared every time bale gets the ball hes shaking.

Really ramos is absolute class and knows exatcly what hes doing playing against bale.

Bury have announced that former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler will spend a week at Gigg Lane helping caretaker manager Richie Barker.

The 35-year-old will assist in day-to-day coaching and be in the dugout for Tuesday's game against Burton.

Fowler recently joined MK Dons as part of Karl Robinson's backroom staff.

[Locke.]

Just like the Champions League, 3 of the 4 Europa League ties are decided in the first leg aswell.

Benfica 4-1 PSV
Porto 5-1 Spartak Moscow
Villareal 5-1 FC Twente

And Braga got a 1-1 away from home to Dynamo Kiev.

As it stands 3 of the last 4 are going to be Portuguese.

[30stone]

Its great Porto are mashing it and i think this could be the summer the big clubs start noticing how good hulk is hes mashing the league..

30 goals in 43 games 14 assists, hes awesome, he wasnt doing so well because he was banned from the league..


And Villareal currently one of my favourite teams in la liga, they play some great football.
Bruno, Cani, Valero

And especially Rossi and Cazorla great players.

[Locke.]

Two of English football's top-four clubs could be excluded from European competition in future as they fail Uefa rules that are about to be introduced.

The Financial Fair Play Regulations do not come into force until 1 June and will not really bite until 2013.

However, a study of recent accounts by BBC Sport shows Chelsea and Manchester City would fall well short of the rules if they were being applied today.

City were £110m in the red while Chelsea showed a deficit of over £50m.

Uefa's rules allow clubs to run up losses of £65m over the first five years.

Financial fair play has been introduced by European football's governing body Uefa to try and level the playing field between clubs funded by the super rich and those less fortunate.

In simple terms, teams cannot spend more than they generate from the football side of their business.

Tbh Neville should have gone for the coaching job at United, although I suspect Carragher might be offered a job like that at Anfield to work alongside Dalglish!

[Locke.]

Why did he retire so suddenly?

And I dunno, I've always thought both Carragher and Gerrard would go into coaching at the club once they retire, but Carragher has been getting himself on loads of Sky shows lately. Gerrard always looks uncomfortable on shows though, so I think he's more likely to go into coaching now.

He felt he couldn't physically continue to play football as he his getting more older and his form majorly dropped this season but still can't fault his commitment, passion, dedication, teamwork and his talent for dividing opinion or pissing off some people;).

Hmm maybe but a chance to work with the first team or younger players is tempting, maybe he could divide doing that with some media duties and promoting Liverpool too?

He had a few chances today, doesn't look like the same player but he'll score for them at some stage i'm confident of that and think that some of the criticism is a bit harsh:blush:.

Torres still isn't quite clicking with Chelsea's style and they haven't got a Gerrard kind of player who he connected well with to provide the passes and combine with for goals, despite the quality that is in the Chelski squad...

[bbfan1991]

Liverpool will be aiming to get the right result for them and finish a place higher than last season, but Spurs fans will be hoping a Kop win against Manchester City will get them back in the race for 4th place;).

I urge all LFC fans at Arsenal on Sunday to applaud @cesc4official after his sentiments today, in a game of frauds his words were genuine


Cesc is going to have a quiet game now

[seanraff07]

14/1 for Schalke to win the whole thing doesn't sound too bad IMO.

[Locke.]

Liverpool U18's 6-0 Man Utd U18's

Silva (2)
Ngoo (2)
Morgan
Adorjan

I think that is 14 games in a row that Morgan has scored in (including reserve games), and he is only 16.

[Locke.]

Torres scores but it's given as offside :joker: :joker:

Good decision giving Scholes the red, that was a terrible challenge.

Balotelli being a legend again :joker:

Don't think United will really be that bothered, #19 and the Champions league is the main thing

[Locke.]

Knocked out by their local rivals. The treble is impossible again. They are bothered.

[Novo]

They have won the Fa cup so many times they probably don't give a **** and city are probably going to win it but it's going to take them 35 years.. horrible club.

[Locke.]

Liverpool remain the only English team to have won more than one treble.

[Novo]

You won the worst treble ever in 2001

[Locke.]

The greatest treble ever.



Watched the Real-Barca game before, they have the best camera angles ever on set pieces, looks like Fifa. Need to rob that and start using it over here

Hope he goes the rest of the season without scoring, he will get sold for about £15 million

There is problems all over it and is basically a random collection of rubbish. lol

i cant believe arsene wenger said that liverpools penalty wasnt a penalty when eboue pushed the liverpool player onto the ground and then dived on top of him in the penalty area.

[alc09]

It was great to see Dalgish tell Wenger to piss off, quality stuff.

How long are Arsenal fans going to put up with him for?

Got to have been the most hectic few minutes off premier league football this season

WTF Torres has finally scored

[Merry Mockmas]

Well done to Liverpool as we was really pathetic.

I do hope Ben Foster is back for our next match against Wolves,otherwise i hope our emergency goalkeeper is either Brad Friedel or Shay Given.

[Locke.]

It was like Barcelona vs Barnsley today

Arsenal concede late yet again and their title challenge is officially over

Bolton 2-1 Arsenal

If he resigns or gets the sack at the end of this season,you will be crying for him to return.

QPR finish 1-1
Norwich are drawing 2-2

Final whistle goes at QPR and there fans storm the pitch thinking they are promoted, then Norwich score in the other game and keep them in the Championship for another week :joker:

Chelsea beat Spurs at Stamford Bridge, we Beat Newcastle at Anfield = We go fifth. Spurs will have a game in hand but still have to go to City of Manchester Stadium and Anfield, whereas we have an easy run in. And we have a better goal difference. Good times.

[Locke.]

Gomes lets Spurs down again, get the **** in!! :dance:

[DDRickyDD]

Gomes is a terrible GK. He wouldn't get into most PL teams, Tottenham should get rid of him before it's too late.

[joeysteele]

Two very bad decisions in favour of Chelsea against Tottenham today though,really bad.

Stupid Blades

East Fife still have a slim chance to make the playoffs.

Anybody who likes me, keep your fingers crossed. Most will hate me and be Brechin fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as much as I'll probably jinx it - it's rare for me to be able to be excited about Arsenal leading over United :D

[Shaun]

:D just a shame we left it so late

[Locke.]

Chelsea 3 points behind now, same goal difference, and play Utd next week. Will be quality if they win.

Michael Owen has never won a Premier League medal, let's hope it stays that way.

[Claymores]

The easy Pool/'tic double paid for my flights n more - so congrats to both teams today and thanks.

[DDRickyDD]

I think Manchester United have blown it to be honest, Chelsea look very confidant and will win at Old Trafford next week then win their remaining games and pip Manchester United to the league title. Can't see them winning the CL either as Barcelona will rip them apart if they're in the final (If they beat Schalke which isn't over yet despite what some people think). Looks like they're going to win nothing after all.

We are not talking about Rangers title challenge here

[Merry Mockmas]

Im chuffed we managed to draw with Wolves down to ten men,although it should have been nine men because of Ben Fosters sloppy mistake at the beginning.

And in the Liverpool vs Newcastle game yesterday,how did Suarez get that penalty? he blatently dived but as usual the Referees should go to Specsavers

[Locke.]

He was clearly pulled back :joker:

Birmingham did really good in the circumstances,I can forgive the Goalkeeper,he wasn't too well on the day.Wolves seem doomed.

I agree,I think a lot of Referees need to go to specsavers or better still be removed from the game for good, if they make bad decisions and its proven they have, they should not referee another game for the remainder of the season or part of the next season, that would likely sharpen their eyesight.

First Osama and now this

[30stone]

Let me just say.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAAHHAHAH **** off evra you little man.

"Maybe against Arsenal we think it is going to be easy but we didn't make the game easy. - Well theres a mistake why would you think playing arsenal is easy??

"We were too nice. We know Arsenal. They keep possession of the ball but they are never dangerous. - Never dangerous? we are always dangerous, just when luck actually shines our way. We have scored loads and done good against the top 4.

"But normally when we come to the Emirates, we play with more power and aggression and create more chances.



"You have to kill that game early, not wait until you concede a goal. - You never do that you sit back and counter..?

"The attitude at the beginning of the game wasn't right. That is why I was very frustrated. We didn't deserve to win."

No you didnt vidic should have been off to. Prick.
