<font color="#ff6600">Gattuso is mental, also.

I woke up this morning and put on Sky Sports News and watched the goals from last night and after the final whistle Gattuso goes up to Ancelotti, grabs his head and starts shaking it really hard :$ Suprised it didn't come of.</font>

Now you know why I love this man. I'd cry if United sign him in the summer.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Gattuso would probably smack Ronaldo's head off

btw thank you Nedved, £20 you just helped me make :cool:

Mon the Arsenal - Barca final

[McDoogle]

Now you know why I love this man. I'd cry if United sign him in the summer.

There's no way Milan is going to let him go.

[JPM]

Gattuso is phenomenal but probably wont get any better than he is now. Spending a stupid sum of cash on him would be an error, despite his obvious quality.

Inter will win nohing; all you brits that 'support' them.. why? WTF is wrong with you? They're rich cunts that have never known where to invest their cash. If anything you should laugh at them. Much more fun.

Finally, well done the Arse... congrats. Although I wouldn't take Villareal as lightly as everyone is suggesting; they have some very good players (Riquelme esp., Forlan on his day), and half of a great side in their name. Good luck to the gunners though.

[McDoogle]

Im Italian not british so go fuck yourself.

[McDoogle]

INTER FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Boondock Saint]

Got my Blackburn shirt. WOOOO

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font color="#ff6600">Inter invested their money in making Alvero Recoba the highest paid player in Serie A.</font>

[McDoogle]

It's paying with great dividends :(....He's gone at the end of the season though.

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font color="#ff6600">PACKT UP!!!!!!

I was at Fratton Park buying my Charlton ticket and guess who i saw on my way out?

THATS RIGHT. THE MIGHTY GRIFFINATOR HIMSELF.

It went something like this

"OI GRIFFS, can I have your autograph?"
"alright."

WHAT A GUY :love:</font>

LMAO :D

Is he injured or what haven't seen him about recently? He's better than our two foot piece of shit Carr.

Times says today that you're interested in Faye - I'd give you him for free he's fucking terrible. ANDDDDDDDD that Boumsong is set to leave in the Summer WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font color="#ff6600">Yeah, he's been injured and Brian Priske has been doing well in his place :(

My mate gave him our Charlton tickets, so he'd have something hard to rest on and the biro wasn't working, so he scribbled on one of the tickets to get the ink running :|

As for Amdy Faye, you can keep him :p</font>

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font color="#ff6600">That was sort of like Liverpool vs Olympiakos.

Only I now know how the Greeks felt.

And who the fuck was the commentator? What a tosser. At the final whistle: "TEESIDE PRIDE!"</font>

[Rob]

I betted my old man before the first leg that Boro would piss this. Thought I was fucked until Boro scored their first tonight then I knew they'd go through. They'll probably win it now.

[Ogen]

They will win pity that means about as much as a away win at Spurs at this stage its a fucing joke of a thing

Wtf how are your tickets hard?! Surely they are just paper. Unless Pompey really waste more money than I thought ;) ZING

I propose a swap deal Faye + Boumsong = D'Alessandro (when you get him) and the GRIFFINATOR

By propose I mean force upon you with heavies.

[packt up]

Also wtf at the smoggies. If they win.....if they win.....well I just won't be happy thats all.

Shut up Wee Smog.

<font color="#ff6600">I was trying to think of something to say to him but everything that came to me either made light of the fact he was injured or that he wouldn't be playing cos of Priske :$ like "are you fit yet?" or "gonna be in the 16 on saturday?"

So I was like "...and lets have another 3 points on saturday! :D" and he was like "...yeah" and walked off.

<Font color="#ff6600">Paul Dickov is absolutely horrible also. Little cunt.

Blackburn are lucky they have Bellamy cos all Dickov did yesterday was pick fights and whinge at the lino and ref.</font>

[Rob]

Fucking stupid West Ham. A man up and they are still getting beaten to every ball.

[packt up]

I forget who ECG said Craig Bellamy was like earlier this season but I always said he was a fucking beauty (not physically obviously he's disgusting). Such a fantastic player. His first goal was unstoppable from the most insane angle.

He's just as much a gobshite as Paul Dickov though thats why you like them if they are on your team.

2-0 TO THE BIGGEST TEAM IN THE NORTH EAST

[toxic rooster]

Let me introduce you to the concept of a 'European hangover', packt up.

They're for teams that are good enough to play in EUROPE.

[packt up]

2-1 Now Smog. NEARLY ALL OVER. Don't give me this European Hangover crap. European hangovers doesn't mean you score more own goals.

And wow nice save Toure. That levels out last years "soft" Penalty.

[packt up]

2-1 EH EH wow losing to us. Bet Bucharest beat you now.

[toxic rooster]

Absolutely fantastic save by Toure there, Rooney absolutely fuming.

[toxic rooster]

And wow nice save Toure. That levels out last years "soft" Penalty.

Exactly what I was thinking. Although it's really interchangeable with any of the other thousand small incidents United or Arsenal get away with in this fixture :o

[packt up]

70k+ fans at Old Trafford today, pretty impressive.

Probably 1K making any noise.

[toxic rooster]

Wonder if we'll see Henry now

[packt up]

WOW what a ball from Silvestre. And well Rooney is just too damn good from there.

[toxic rooster]

Looks like we're about to see Thierry

[packt up]

COME ON THIERRY YOU TALENTED MOFO

[Flair Wooo]

Come on arsenal!!!

[packt up]

Pires has looked like shit today

[toxic rooster]

Well, they hit too many passes there. Trying to walk it into the net :o

[packt up]

Wow Rooney is just too good fullstop. England's biggest hope is him being fit this Summer. Fuck Beckham fuck Owen (:$) Rooney is England's only hope.

[toxic rooster]

GOD why did you have to make Rooney so talented?

Couldn't you have given it to someone who wasn't a complete and total wanker?

[toxic rooster]

Well, I quite enjoyed that match. So that's what it looks like when these 2 teams decide to actually play football against each other :o

[Rob]

2-1 Now Smog. NEARLY ALL OVER. Don't give me this European Hangover crap. European hangovers doesn't mean you score more own goals.

And wow nice save Toure. That levels out last years "soft" Penalty.

Fuck off. Last year was last year. How does it level it out? Was Arsenal stealing the FA Cup final not enough?

[toxic rooster]

And here's Rob Harvey's latest rambling, right on cue. :lol:

[packt up]

Lol Rob take it easy. You see when I'm referring to things levelling out I'm talking about bad reffing decisions. Not one teams inability to score a match they dominate.

You fully deserved to win today I'm just saying Arsenal got a big decision go there way this year like you did last year. OK

[Rob]

And here's Rob Harvey's latest rambling, right on cue. :lol:

Rambling? Fuck off.

Arsenal didn't get enough decisions over the last few years (Pires tripping over his own legs aaginst Pompey still stands out) did they? To say it makes it ok not to give a decision just because you got a few years back is fucking stupid. About as stupid as changing the team you support. :p

Okay we won 2-0. That decision happened when it was 0-0 and Eboue could have easy played a big part in the result later. Because we won that doesn't make it ok. He could make an impact in the next 3 games Arsenal play in as well when he should be suspended but I guess Portsmouth, West Brom and Tottenham have nothing to play for.

[packt up]

It was Toure actually

[Rob Ban Fan]

To say it makes it ok not to give a decision just because you got a few years back is fucking stupid. About as stupid as changing the team you support. :p

Oh sorry, that makes it okay then. :)

http://worldcup.uk.msn.com/features/team~worth~most/

Interesting article saying which World Cup Team would be worth the most. England apparently coming in top at around $216m mainly due to their fairly youthful defenders all being worth £20mil each and a certain Mr Rooney being worth a hell of a lot more.

[BCWWF]

The United States looks awful. The team is so different, what happened to some of the old guys? Landon Donovan and Eddie Pope are the only "big name" players that have been in these friendlys.

I think Reyna is playing on the World Cup squad, but what about Tony Sanneh, Brian McBride, DeMarcus Beasley and stuff? And what's the deal with goalies? Casey Keller was it in 1998, then Friedel was dominant in 2002, now Keller is back?

USA just proves why FIFA rankings are flawed.

[Y3J]

They deserve it, after all they do have to beat great teams such as Canada and Haiti to qualify.

[packt up]

Wow Portsmouth should thank Adebayor if they get anything from this game. Missed two ABSOLUTE sitters. He's looking more and more like Kanu everyday.

[packt up]

LOL

Not only that lo and behold Pompey are indeed level but that Lua Lua injured himself celebrating.


What a prick.

That was class at the end when Todorov dived and then was all like ;) at Wenger

I hope you lads stay up anyway, Steve Bruce and Bryan Robson can fuck off down to the championship.

TODDY MOLESTO WENGER</font>

[Team Sheep]

Have you guys thought about this? What if Chelsea, Man Utd, Liverpool and Tottenham finish in the top 4, Arsenal win the Champions League, and Middlesbrough win the Uefa cup. What will this hold for Champions league spots? There was all that controversy last year with Liverpool winning the Champions league, now you'd have 2 teams complaining.

[Y3J]

It's quite simple, the top four would be in CL with Arseholes because they intro'd the rule where the winner gets an automatic place. Boro would be in UEFA cup. Why would Boro winning the UC have an effect? They don't get a CL place by winning the UC.

[diothoir]

Nah, if Arsenal win, they get the fourth Champions League spot instead of Spurs. Liverpool had to give up their country protection thing to get in, through a loophole. Anyway, UEFA now say only 4 teams maximum can qualify from one country now.

[packt up]

Yeah if Arsenal win, which looks their most realistic route back in, then Spurs would miss out. That'd amuse me no end.

RBF ({) I guess you did deserve it to be honest. It was like the Arsenal of old (i.e before the invincibles) gorgeous football, guilty of walking it in to the net a few too many times, should have been about 4-0 up only to draw. And yeah LOL at Todorov right in front of Wenger. (Easy) Third Eye city.

[Y3J]

If Arsenal win, they don't take Spurs' spot. They both get in so we would have five teams. The only reason for the new role (winner gets automnatic place) is because Liverpool had to go through qualifying for this year's CL and they don't want that to happen again.

[Team Sheep]

Yeah but don't the Uefa cup winners get a birth in the Champions league? That's what I was told before.

[Y3J]

I don't think so, unless they've changed the rules again.

[packt up]

Nah Y3J Arsenal definitely boot Spurs out if they win it. 4 teams max from any country now. I think if the winner came from a country with only 3 qualifiers anyway they would get 4 but 4 is definitely the maximum.

[packt up]

http://home.skysports.com/list.asp?hlid=377443&CPID=8&clid=6&lid=3&title=Jol+split+on+Gunners+run

Here's an article confirming.

And I don't believe the UEFA cup winners get into the Champions League except through their own league.

[Wengerland]

Rob Kelly will be unveiled as our new manager tomorrow. LOVE IT :love:

I didn't see the Pompey game so i was stuck with Boro/Charlton, or a club with shit home support against one with shit away support. That said, when Charlton's fans were booing every Boro player when they had the ball in the early stages i did think it was the Boro fans. I was thinking ':| you're not even losing yet, you cunts'

[Rob]

Nah Y3J Arsenal definitely boot Spurs out if they win it. 4 teams max from any country now. I think if the winner came from a country with only 3 qualifiers anyway they would get 4 but 4 is definitely the maximum.

This is true.

Couldn't agree more, that was the most spirited, determined performance I have seen all season. I've said before, and I stand by it, Sunderland have not played THAT badly all season. They just can't score goals.

As much as I hate Chelsea, I'd rather they won the title than have the Manc fans go on and on about how they stole the title from them, so thank you Sunderland very much :D

[Danny Electric]

Haha Rooney showed tonight why he is over-rated and so did that goofy Ronaldo.
And Ferguson was disapointing in his decisions.

17th Anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster today.

I was watching this program last night (on of all things ESPN Classics) on Liverpool between 1960 and 1990, they showed footage of us scoring at the Kop, before the seating, and the rush to the front whenever we scored. I can only imagine after seeing that, what it was like that day in Sheffield.

R.I.P to the Hillsborough 96 - YNWA

[Flair Wooo]

Lmao:D :D all the mancs in the pub going on about how there gonna beat chelski to the title and they couldn't even beat sunderland :D loved it

[Flair Wooo]

Liverpool blackburn ..Kick off in 30 mins!! Come on you reds!!!!!!

[Rob]

I'll be very happy if we can get Gattuso or Mascherano in next season. Both would be sweet! Probably can do with another right winger too.

[Flair Wooo]

Great 1 min silence ..Now lets kick some ass!!!!!!!!

[Flair Wooo]

1-0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1:D fowler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :Drobbie !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Liverpool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



1-0 liverpool God has scored yet again!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

[yianni]

Stop stealing my :D gimmick you cunt :mad: :D

Pompey's fans were fucking awol in yesterday's match. By awol I mean fucking awesome.

When the fuck aren't they though?

Best fans in the league :o

[Rob]

Great 1 min silence ..Now lets kick some ass!!!!!!!!

Shame they can't do the same for other clubs ain't it?

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Apparently he's on about half what Ridgewell earns. Oh deary me.

[toxic rooster]

What were the black armbands this week for?

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Hillsborough anniversary

[Flair Wooo]

Hillsborough anniversary

R.I.P :(

[Ogen]

Hes on half what Ridgewell earns but hes being a bit of a tit over his new deal hes being offered what Ridgewell and Davis were offered they sigend with the understanding that if they played and did well they'd get a new contract fast with even better terms and thats whats happened but Cahill wants to bypass that first deal straight to the second one. We better not lose him over it :mad:

[Mr. Monday Morning]

He probably knows that Ellis is the cheapskate of all time and there's some sort of clause that means in real terms he'll be on about £2.50 a week.

[Ogen]

Quite possibly Ellis is bound to die soon though so live and hope :D

Well thats the Premiership over for even the most optimistic idiots out there now fair play to Chelsea they've been far and away the best team out there

WBA look down now. I think Birmingham need a win in their next 2 games (Blackburn home and Everton away) to stand a chance.

[toxic rooster]

Birmingham aren't quite at that stage yet, Rob. They're 3 points behind Pompey with a game in hand and a superior goal difference (only by about 3 goals though).

That being said, if they don't win in their next 3 they're probably fucked.

[yianni]

Pompey look home. The cunts must be spewing they were 0-1 up to Charlton and then lost.

[Nervous Ferret]

yianni smells good

[Wengerland]

Lovely day out at Coventry yesterday, a barely deserved point, abusing their fans and Dennis Wise. Richard Stearman's immense left foot volley in front of a full away end. They do this gay thing where the PA guy introduces away fans to the rest of the ground - "on your left is the Marconi Stand, where we have families and press" - so that was greeted with "WHO ARE YA?" and "SHIT GROUND NO FANS".

In reality the ground was actually quite nice, but you get the idea.

[Rob Ban Fan]

Pompey look home. The cunts must be spewing they were 0-1 up to Charlton and then lost.

<Font color="#ff6600">It was gutting cos we didn't deserve to lose. We had controlled the game and we were cruising, then they scored twice. I think we were just knackered after the last week full of games.

The Charlton fans were silent. They call Highbury the library but honestly, The Valley is no better. I am honestly not exaggerating in the slitest when I say they sang 4 times through out the whole game.

There was a blast of "red army" when they scored the equalizer before they went back to being quiet again. Then when they went ahead there was another song, along with a chorus of "going down" and bizzarely "Deano: whats the score?" :| Then silence again. The only other noise was when they booed the team off at half time.

I just hope the result doesn't cause us to lose momentum. Sunderland will be a lot tougher than a lot of people think and I hope the players and fans don't get cocky because we are at our worst when we get cocky. Like when we were top of the league, needing one win to seal promotion and we were at home to Sheffield Wednesday who were deep in relegation trouble. Ended up losing 2-1.

So lets just hope we can try and rest and recharge the batteries for the next week, get Mendes, Stefanovic, O'Brien and Lua lua back from injury and then give it one final push for the last 3 games.</font>

Just watched the Blackburn/Liverpool game from Sunday. Damn Liverpool is solid all around, especially their defense. Their manager annoys the hell out of me though.

But that Cisse guy is an ugly douchebag. God, I hate him. I wish Lucas Neill kicked his ass.

Robbie Savage = the man.

Game tomorrow against Birmingham. We'll win that guy. And I can watch it live :love:

[Flair Wooo]

Cisse needs to go die :D Lol! But our manager fucking owns!!!!!:rant:

[Pardeep 619]

Cisse is a decent striker. I'd rather have him in my first eleven than Robbie Fowler

[Boondock Saint]

Mark Hughes is the man.

[Flair Wooo]

Cisse is a decent striker. I'd rather have him in my first eleven than Robbie Fowler

Get the fuck out!!!!!:foc: Are you fucking kidding me?? Cisse couldn't score in a brothel!!! Fowler is GOD!!! If you think cisse is good, go persuade you're manager to pay 50p for him to take him off our hands!!!!!!:rant:

[Boondock Saint]

Yeah Fowler is pretty nasty.

Thought I'd defend Charlton as im probably the only Addick on here.

Charlton fans are generally very good fans, its just that we atract the "prawn sandwich" bunch at The Valley these days.

I was at the home game against Bolton and the fans were poor i tryed to get some chants started but I was just given funny looks.

If anyone saw the game we had at Boro u wud know who our real fans are, we sang for 90 minutes, all u could hear when a Boro player touched the ball was boos.

Part of the problem might be that we always finish mid-table so theres really nothing to sing about.

Anyway. rant over.

I dunno what a bellend is, but lets hope Neill and Savage kick some ass 2dayyyyy

[Boondock Saint]

Oh, what is the bad blood about with Savage and Birmingham? The commrntators mentioned it the other day.

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font color="#ff6600">Savage played for Birmingham and wanted to leave to go to Blackburn. Birmingham said no, they didn't want to sell but Blackburn kept making offers and Savage kept coming up with bullshit excuses, like about how his parents were sick and he wanted to go to a club closer to them. Despite Birmingham offering a chauffer service to take him to Wales to see his parents whenever he needed and despite someone proving Blackburn wasn't that much closer to where his parents lived.

Eventually Birmingham got fed up with it and accepted £3.5m for him, which is more than he's worth since he's about 30 and a bit over rated.

But yes, for tonight. COME ON BLACKBURN.</font>

[Boondock Saint]

:love:

[yianni]

Remember when he broke like 2 legs in a week a couple of seasons back?.

That's why he's a champ. ;)

Nah seriously that was pretty fucking low what he did but he's still a champ. As for Savage fuck the cunt.

[toxic rooster]

I absolutely love the penalty he took against Uruguay. Never looked like missing.

Coolest man on the planet, 2 steps back, 1-2-Fuck you - made Carini look fucking foolish :love:

[yianni]

Nah it wasn't just because of the penalty he took against U-R-Gay. Always liked the way he plays (except those dirty challenges that broke the legs).

<font color="#ff6600">For fucks sake. Useless fucking cunts.</font>

[Rob]

I had Birmingham winning that game too on my prediction list. 3 more points might be enough now.

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font color="#ff6600">they have Everton away, Newcastle home, Bolton away.

We have Sunderland home, Wigan away, Liverpool home.

We are level on points. They have better goal difference.</font>

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Just beat the Mackems ffs

[packt up]

I think Pompey will get 4 points and Brum 3 from their last games. However I wouldn't have thought they would win tonight so wtf do I know.

[BCWWF]

Of course the US picks up both Arsenal/Villareal games instead of Ronaldihno vs. everybody good in Italy. I hate Arsenal and I hate watching games at their stadium, at least this is the last year of it, right?

[toxic rooster]

Are you sure about that, BCWWF? The Barca-Milan game was on a day before Arsenal-Villareal.

[BCWWF]

Yeah, the Milan/Barca game was on ESPN Deportes, which I don't get. This week and next week the only games they are showing are the Arsenal ones.

I mean, I guess that's legit, considering there are probably a lot more Arsenal fans in the US than most teams, but still, I would have liked the other game.

[toxic rooster]

I'm guessing they put the Barca game on in Spanish considering, you know, most Barca fans speak Spanish.

I'M SORRY :'(

I hope it doesn't come down to the last day. That will kill me. I fucking hate it when you're trying to watch your game but still having to keep up with another game and hearing other people going "SHIT, 1-0 Birmingham." "Did you hear that? Birmingham are winning." "CUNTS"

Plus we have poxy Liverpool and they have Bolton, who will no doubt roll over like the useless one dimentional bastards that they are.</font>

Looks like another thrilling final round in the Premiership in terms of the relegation battle

Fuck last year's one was intense, every single one of the bottom 4 sides at some stage of the final day were safe, then West Brom took it in the end lol. Fucking awesome watching it and getting updates from the other games.

And Mike the Metal Ed, get the fucking ugly cunt off my fucking screen :rant: :p

They had to give us arsehole Norwich v Fulham that day, too.

Goldenly entertaining day, anyway

As you said Rob Ban Fan if it goes down to the last day I dont think my heart could handle it especially as I will be at the Reebok.

And just for good measure Robbie Savage what a wanker what a wanker.

Norwich - Fulham was great, Fulham absolutely shit all over them. And by extension "England's Future #1" Robert Green :mad:

Soooo with the World Cup coming up. I know pretty much no American players except for Friedel, who I don't think is even on the US team. I've also heard US soccer kinda sucks so I haven't even bothered to follow it.

Should I root for them? Do they have much of a chance? Or should I just root for England since it's the only country I been following? Unless they are doubtful to win too. :mad:

Deutschland would be my other choicee.

The relegation dog fight

The relegation battle was one of the most dramatic in English history. In each of the last three weekends of the season, the team that was bottom of the table at the start of the weekend finished it outside the drop zone. The final round of the season on 15 May (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_15) started with West Bromwich Albion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Bromwich_Albion_F.C.) on the bottom, Southampton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southampton_F.C.) and Crystal Palace (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Palace_F.C.) one point clear, and Norwich City (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwich_City_F.C.) in the last safe spot and two points from the bottom. For the first time since the advent of the current Premier League in 1992-1993, no club was assured of relegation going into the final day. The final matchday was publicised by Sky Sports (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_Sports) as 'Survival Sunday', with accompanying promotional material advertising the last matchday like a title fight or epic movie blockbuster.
West Brom, who had been bottom of the table and eight points from safety at Christmas, did their part by defeating Portsmouth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portsmouth_F.C.) at home 2-0. Norwich, the only side to have their fate completely in their own hands, lost 6-0 at Fulham (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulham_F.C.) and went down. Southampton lost 2-1 at home to Manchester United (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_United_F.C.). Palace, away to Charlton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlton_Athletic_F.C.), were leading 2-1 in the second half and eight minutes from safety, but the Addicks' Jonathan Fortune (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Fortune) equalised to consign the Eagles to The Championship. Thus, West Brom stayed up, and changed history, becoming the first club in Premiership history to avoid relegation after being bottom of the table at Christmas.
At the end of 90 minutes in all 4 matches, Sky cameras focused on West Brom's ground, The Hawthorns (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hawthorns), as confirmation of other results began to filter through. Once the realisation dawned on the players and fans that survival had been achieved, a mass pitch invasion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_invasion) was sparked, with huge celebrations. The Portsmouth fans in the away end of the ground joined in the celebrations and party atmosphere—as through losing 2-0 to West Brom, they had 'helped' relegate arch-rivals Southampton. Also, the defeat itself mattered little to Portsmouth, as they would be unable to improve on their 16th position due to 15th-placed Blackburn Rovers' greater points tally.
[edit (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=FA_Premier_League_2004-05&action=edit&section=6)]

Going down...

18th place in the final Premiership table went to Crystal Palace, who drew 2-2 with Charlton Athletic on the final day of the season after being eight minutes away from safety. This made way for West Bromwich Albion's Premiership survival. 19th place went to Norwich City, whose fate was confirmed by a 6-0 hammering at Fulham on the final day—a result which underlined the frailty of their defence, which had leaked 77 goals in 38 Premiership games. Bottom place went to Southampton, who lost 2-1 at home to Manchester United and were relegated after 27 years in the top flight.

[diothoir]

USA are massively overrated by the FIFA rankings, and I'd be surprised if they got past the group stage. Germany should get out of their group, but probably not much further, quarter final at best. England could get to the semi finals, but will have their arse handed to them by Brazil.

[Boondock Saint]

Hey Mr. Monday Morning, looks like Reading is gonna move into the Premiership. So I can actually watch them next season, since FSC only plays Premiership games and nothing below. Two teams to support.

[toxic rooster]

England will lose in the quarter finals.

[The Mackem]

SHITE!

We needed a point, Cheers Rob :y:

Would have prefered to have got something from the Newcastle match though. Didn't actually go to the match but left the house at half time winning 1-0 only to come back half an hour later to be losing 3-1. Never go to B&Q during a football match. It's a funny old game.

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Yeah, when we got relegated at home to Man U in 2001/02, everyone had pretty much accepted it as an inevitability, but Sky still had to show some stupid cow bawling to embarrass the team.

A poor last home game of the season really, Henderson is still crap, Maybury played shit, Welsh and Stearman disappointed. Hume and Fryatt played best, Joey didn't really have much come his way. Gonna miss him next year though. :'(

Face it Jose, when it comes to the 2 biggest games we've played, your side has bottled it, and we've beaten you, hell the other big game you only won cos of Stevie G scoring an own goal.

He's a bad loser, he's an overrated manager, and next season, the rest of the Premiership will catch up on Chelsea. Next seasons title race is gonna be the closest in years, I can feel it.

I know we aren't exactly blessed with a huge number of English keepers at the moment but surely there is someone better than him?

I am aware that he'll be third choice and wont have a hope of playing, but its the principal, he doesn't deserve a call up just because he is a Liverpool reserve :mad:

Nicky Butt shouldn't be able to play, unless Newcastle screwed up the loan agreement.

That'll leave Brum with about 2 1/2 healthy midfielders.

Takes one to know one Owen. Nice to see you pick your phone up :|, I heard D'Allesandro's goal was a beaut so I wanted you to tell me what he'd done, didn't realise it wasn't actually all that amazing like I was told, I was hearing things about it being goal of the season.

And Flair Wooo, I never said he was biased towards Liverpool, just that he is a poor ref who ruins games IMO. He also let Drogba get away with possibly his worst dive ever right near the end, and let Cudicini get away with time wasting in the first half (sounds stupid but he was).

[Nervous Ferret]

Watched a Fullham game yesterday, it was taped so I dunno when it actually "was". Don't remember who they were playing. Anyway I noticed Brian McBride is on Fullham, I remember him being in the MLS and in this videogame called "Backyard Soccer" I have. He was the man.

Anyway does this make me a Fullham Road Supporter?

[Cactus Sid]

Nope Fulham Road is Chelsea, Chelsea and Fulham play in the same part of London so it just so happens that Chelsea have a road near the ground which is called Fulham Road.

Fulham is famed for its Cottage (hence the name Craven Cottage) and also for having the worst fans in the league. They don't sing at all.

[Nervous Ferret]

thx. I remember seeing Craven Cottage as a stadium name I think, I was like wtfff, they suck.

Anywho, I'm still louder than the KOP

[Flair Wooo]

Kop > you

[Dazz]

Chelsea actually play their games in Fulham, Stamford Bridge was first offered to Fulham but they didn't want it. Now I got a job in London from June my nans offered me the flat she rents out down the Fulham Road to stay in with some mates for the next year, if all goes to plan and the guy we're waiting on gets a job there, then I'll be living in under a five minute walk from the ground.

I bet it was Fulham Vs Wigan you saw Ferrett, and Malbranque scored the only goal, it was played last night at 7.45 English time.

And forgot to post it earlier but I agree, Terry's goal should have been dissallowed. I was in the Stretford End so I had a good view of it all too.

[Nervous Ferret]

yeah Wigan, that was it
