Ronaldo has been excellent since December.

The awards are decided on performances up to January though.

I had City picking up 5 points. I can't see them getting results against Newcastle or away to Boro. Any other time I would have Everton beating them too but I think they'll actually get 3 pts there.

I don't know Liverpool's fixtures but I just think they'll choke and either Newcastle or even a sneeky Charlton will top them. Wouldn't rule out Birmingham either.

Ronaldo should definately be there.

Henry can't lose it.

That's 3 games more than Johnson has played well. :wave:

I had Liverpool down to lose to United and Birmingham, but Newcastle and Charlton are sh</>ite away and have some difficult matches (if I remember rightly) so I think we'll just sneak it.

1-0 at Anfield :o

Anfield = Liverpool, tho :o

Yeah, but Wayne Rooney has done pretty much fu</>ck all, all season, and he's on there. Ronaldo has consistantly been our best player.

But for the fact this is true, I'd get seriously pissy

Charlton are way too inconsistent, particularly away from home.

Arsenal are just....amazing

I hope Leeds go down, because their fans are a bunch of cocks, no-one fu</>cks with Harry Redknapp :mad:

YEAH IM BACK.

Arsenal kick ass - Henry we should all just bow down and stuff :(.

Hmmm other stuff - Newcastle COME ON we can get fourth. Still going to be real tough - Soton away, Liverpool away - and of course Villa away :$.

Henry obviously for player of the year, I would go for Terry for young player.

Leeds to be the third team to go down.

What?!? I obviously missed that what happened?

Shit, I dunno whether to be gutted or celebrating

I'm a Gooner and we've basically got one hand on the trophy

But I'm also probably gonna lose my 10 bucks now because I bet Leeds would stay up :mad:.

Wow, did you see Pires' goal (the first one of the game)? That's why I love Arsenal. I don't think there's any way Bergkamp could have known Pires was where he was when the ball was played (prove me wrong on this), but he played it out there anyway. Love a simple thing like Arsenal's passing...awww :love:

Of course he knew. That's what makes him a good player.

1-0 to the Pompey boys :love:

:love: :love: :love:

Up the Pompey

Oh this is huge

But he didn't even have to look to know that Pires would be on the end of it. He just played the ball and trusted.

That's team unity and communication and all that for you

POMPEY :love:

Great win against 12 men, albeit Taylor did handball it, but hey, how many decisions went against them over the 90

Now got Chelsea down to finish 2nd by a point, and Pompey to finish above Man City

Play Up Pompey,Pompey Play Up.:D

Good stuff Portsmouth :y:

That's pretty much what I said.

Dabizas you tit:mad::|

Now we're going to finish bottom.:-\

I guess if we beat Man City next week there's a chance,but still :|

No you need to draw with Citeh :shifty:

HAVE IT MILLS YOU C</>UNT

I've now got....

Man Utd to finish 2nd regardless of what I said after the Pompey game, by a point. Newcastle to finish 4th on Goal Difference, Wolves to finish 19th, Leicester bottom, and Man City, rather than Blackburn, to be relegated

I think Pompey beating us have fu</>cked it for the rest of you now. Unless Man City don't pick up the 5 pts I thouht they would (and they dropped one of those today). If Leeds and City went down, I'd laugh myself to instant death.

I bloody hope Leeds go down since they deserve it as much for the shocking state of the club itself as the team's crapness.

Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeve Stoooooooooooooooooooone :cool:

Newcastle only 1 point behind liverpool with 2 games in hand. :D :D :cool: :cool:

Pompey,pleeeeeeeeease beat Leeds.:(

Well done Pompey :D :D :D Definite pen at the end but I guess they deserved their luck.

We better get fourth now :( Still tough but the other teams are basically trying to hand it to us :$.

Yeah,i didn't realise it was an unfortunate own goal.The commentators on the radio went abit o.t.t when describing.

I'm not so sure about us or Wolves getting straight back,i mean we'll each lose a lot of players and won't get a lot of money to bring players in.

-edit- Players like Sinclair,Gillespie,Scowcroft should be sold regardless of the league.Scowcroft if we stay up but the tactic of playing him wide last year worked so i think it could again in divison 1.

O'Brien sent off after 9 minutes :|

This game is getting stupid, Hendrie has play acted twice, Bowyer dived, Bridges dived, everyones trying to get the opposition srent off, Knight doesn't have a clue what he is doing in this match, Vassell hit his right foot on the floor and then went down. Given has been time wasting ALL game.

Still, I hope Villa win.

Finished 0-0.

Lee Hendrie needs to sort himself out,sportsmanship wise.

0-0 Meh.

Didn't see the game so I can't comment on what happened though I would like to hear SO TELL ME :(.

Well Villa dominated the first 10 minutes and O'Brien got sent off for wrestling Vassell to the ground when he was the last man. Newcastle then got fairly comfortable with 10 men (Viana came on for Robert and Jenas off for Bowyer).

Vassell had a goal ruled out right before half time for supposedly tripping Aaron Hughes, but to be honest was a bad decision.

Craig Bellamy limped off after about 15 minutes of the second half with a hamstring injury :roll:.

The game boiled over towards the end, particularly with Hendrie's play acting and targeting of Gary Speed. Given was time wasting all match and got booked in like the last minute. Good point for Newcastle under the circumstances. Villa only had 1 shot on target all match.

Looks like Bellamy and Jenas are out of the match with Marseille :wavesad:

This is exactly what happened. EXCEPT, you clearly see Vassells right foot (accidently) hit the ground,w hcih is why he went down, but O'Briends hand was on Vassel so it looked bad from the refs point of view.

Vassell was unlucky for the ruled out goal, but as they pointed out after the match, he didnt complain that it was ruled out.

Actually I'm not too sure about that for us at the mo...Irwin is going to retire but we're pretty much playing Clyde there fulltime now anyway. The area we'll need to replace is central midfield, cause Ince and Rae aren't going to stick around. But aside from them, I think we can keep the team together.

Silas:o

I doubt he'll stick around :$

Let's face it, if any team get relegated from the Premiership nowadays they're f**ked.

I agree with the Mackem, teamsd that get promoted have 2 choice, spend fu</>ck all so that if they go down they aren't ****ed, or bring in some new players, in which case if they go down they are fu</>cked, and if they stay up they have to build, or they will do an Ipswich.

And any team that isn't newly promoted has a big wage bill, and really is in the shitter. God I hope Blackburn and Leeds go down.

Leeds v Pompey

OH!

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

It's gonna be HUGE!

Premiership is gay. :n:

Go Leeds go!

NO, NO HEYMAN, NO :mad:

NO, NO THE MASK, NO :mad:

Don't worry Mask - In my opinion, the Premiership is like the Special Olympics. There are no winners..........just losers.

i should destroy you for using the old special olympics thing :rant:

Except for Arsenal :D

LOL. But seriously, Leeds to go down. :y:

:mad:

You can stick your money up your arse Wee Gooner. Leeds deserve to go down.

Viduka :mad:

Pie-eating fat bastard.

On another note, Camara has said he wants to stay even if we go down :love:

Oh man,and the only player who's said he'll stay here if we go down is Walker:$!

Nah j/k he's been our best player recently,it was just on that CM game.:mad:

Paul Dickov would still be your best player had it not been for a little spell inside in Spain.

Dickov is still the man. Walker is a clutz.

Damnit, I get unbelievably stressed every time I see that nike advert with ronaldinho in it.

WHY THE F</>UCK DIDNT WE SIGN HIM AISJFIASJDISD

like we couldn't afford the extra 3 million or whatever it was :mad:

Leeds are going down, I put 40 quid on them getting relegated back during pre season :cool:

And then Milner Smith and Robinson will be off :)

The question is which shit striker will Middlesborough sign for about 8m? Heskey? Forlan? or Viduka? :D

Ronaldo + the 15m we saved is better. It'll help us sign Van der Vaart or Joaquin this year :)

The signing I was gutted about was Duff :( That was a player that WANTED to play for us and would have been quality.

*sighs* :'(

we won't though. It'll be like "cool, let's sign van der vaart" and then he'll go somewhere else cause Ajax wanted more, and then we'll buy some jobber from france that'll rot on the bench :mad:

maybe we won't this season, since we did shit, but we probably will :'(

Hey hey, we're not Liverpool or anything :D

Looks like the board are letting Ferguson do some major signing, thankfully they've realised what a threat Chelsea are.

We're meant to have bid Forlan and 20m+ for Torres from Atletico and rumour has it that 20m and Butt and Forlan were offered to Everton for Rooney earlier this week.

I reckon we could see two major signings this summer. Hopefully Torres and Van der Vaart and a couple people leaving like Butt and Forlan. Plus we'll have Liam Miller :cool: and probably a defender though once Brown and Rio are both fit and availible we should be able to manage.

Hahahaha

The Gary Neville Diaries

Monday
Still can't believe he sent those text messages to yukky girls too. Everyone knows girls smell. Have been crying every night for a week. Told Mum it was Phil's fault and she made him stand in the corner. Even when his wife was there. Ha.

Still got one text message from him. The special one - 'I'm going to hold you down and **** your *******'.

Later: Have looked in Mum's crossword dictionary. Thicko spelt 'shave' and 'moustache' wrong.


Tuesday
"And the ball falls to the brilliant Gary Neville with his lovely thick moustache and he makes no mistake and lashes home the ball. The crowd go wild - there's nobody these Old Trafford fans love more than Gary Neville...And there's Sir Alex Ferguson with a tear in his eye. He loves Gary and his thick moustache like a son..."

Sir even patted me on the back and said 'Well done, Phil'.

Bet Rebecca 'Stinky' Loos (ha) couldn't score against Leicester.


Wednesday
Gave Sir the tea cosy I knitted to match the doilies. Think he liked it because I saw him smile when he showed it to Keano. Maybe I should do one for him too. In green :-) Then maybe he won't tie my shoelaces together again :-(

Went to Mum's for tea. Ran the length of the kitchen to appeal her decision to let Phil lick out the cake bowl. Made Mum cry but at least I got to lick out the bowl!

Moustache definitely looks thicker today.


Thursday
Said 'howdy' to Tim in training and he told me to '****ing **** off you little ****'. Said 'yo' to Rio and he said exactly the same. Maybe this Tourettes thing is spreading. Would tell Sir but think he's got it too.

Saw 'Stinky' Loos on TV. She looks really smelly. Tried to draw a little moustache (not mustach, thicko) on her face but she kept moving.

Update: This marker was permanent. Mum says I need to buy her a new TV.


Friday
Not fair, not fair, not fair. Graham Poll is in the papers saying I'm a diver but Mum says I can't call The Sun and say he's got a big bum. It's not fair because he started it. And he has got a big bum.


Saturday
"And the ball falls to the brilliant Gary Neville with his lovely thick moustache and he tries an audacious overhead kick. Is nothing beyond the talents of Old Trafford's favourite son? But a cheating, handballing nobody who plays for a nothing team pushes the ball over the bar to deny brave Neville, his thick moustache and the greatest team in the whole wide world yet another goal..."

The referee didn't crack like Mum did. He didn't even cry. Gave Matt 'Who?' Taylor my nastiest glare after the game. And then I saw his Mum and glared at her too. His Dad was bigger than me so stopped there.


Sunday
There's another yukky girl in the papers telling yukky stories about how yukky David made her feel so yucking special. How can he do this to me?

Watched a programme about skin grafts - they take the skin from a place that nobody sees and put it in the place where you need the skin. Has given me an idea about thickening my moustache...

Thursday
Said 'howdy' to Tim in training and he told me to '****ing **** off you little ****'. Said 'yo' to Rio and he said exactly the same. Maybe this Tourettes thing is spreading. Would tell Sir but think he's got it too.

:lol:

Ahh football365 :love:

Went to Mum's for tea. Ran the length of the kitchen to appeal her decision to let Phil lick out the cake bowl. Made Mum cry but at least I got to lick out the bowl!

lol,also at the Thursday one.

Good stuff

I'd rather keep Forlan than waste that money on Fernando Torres. I'll take Joaquin and Van Der Vaart though thanks very much. If Man U want to bid for an Igor Tudor or Carlos Puyol too then that would be nice.

we just need to sell sell sell. and bring in one top class attacker.

I heard a rumour that Bruno Cheyrou is the new Zidane, Chelsea could buy him :D

Whats wrong with Torres? :?:

Nothing. I just don't think he is any better than Forlan really and we need more age up front anyways since we will have Ronaldo (and Joaquin with any luck) in midfield.

We need another left winger too really, cause giggs can be awesome or utter shite, during any given match. joaquin is right wing, right? and i think ronaldo can play on the left so that could work, but still :rant:

I think we're going to have to find a good defensive midfielder and another good forward, along with some world class defenders. We don't have much depth anyway so I don't think we need to sell anyone bar the dead weight.

I thought about Ronaldo up front and on the left but I still want both Joaquin and VDV.

Its likely to be Joaquin or VDV not both, couldnt afford both and it'd be a bit unneccessary.

Id rather have VDV, he can play on the left, in the scholes role or upfront. Forlans pretty certain to go, hes not happy at Old Trafford anymore and its pretty obvious we're in the market for a striker. Torres and Rooney are the two we're alledged to have bid for and we're scouting a 21 year old from parma whos scored 17 goals this season already, and thats pretty good considering its the Serie A and hes so young. Kezman from PSV is going for 6m and hes got a good record so I hope we at least give him a look.

Next year we'll have Keane, Phil Neville, Djemba Djemba and Miller capable of playing as a defensive mid fielder and we may or may not have Butt (probably not).

If it was me Id go for Torres, VDV and Vincent Kompany and sell Forlan, Giggs and Butt. Should get about 20m for those 3 which would really help our buying power.

Stay away from John Oster :(

Get out of the "Premiership" thread, mackem boy :mad:

I'm here by invitation plus for my years of Premiership experience as a Sunderland fan :(

So, how many lights are there in the Stadium of Light, Sunderland boy?

As far as the eye can see :cool:

It's cool, at night they used to have four "Batman" lights (except with out the bat sign) that you could see for miles but then when we hit financial difficulties they cut it back to one hour a night unless there was a night match on.

:mad:

Stupid Brisbane, the last time they turned on Batman lights here was when they had that World Expo thing in 1988 :mad:

So, promotion, eh?

You mean these babies? :naughty:

http://www.sunderland.gov.uk/Pages/i...m-of-light.jpg

Oh yeah :cool:

Looks like the play-offs is our best bet and given our recent history with those, that's not a good thing but third time lucky maybe?

Well if Wolves can get promoted, anything can happen in a playoff...

*runs before MMM shows up with baseball bat*

Stadium of Shite :mad:

This is a Necastle supporter (also known as a Skunk).

Notice his ridiculous accent and pronouncation of "Shearer" as SHEEEERAR!

I get it, because he's a Northern muppet :mad:

*aware of irony of being in the southern hemisphere*

Shit, that stadium must really use up the juice being lit up like that, though

It was karma for us completely choking the year before :wavesad:

Well at least our stadium is always full :roll: :P Last season was a joke - not only were you shite :P but all your fans just deserted the team and left the stadium half empty sheesh!

Lol at those batman lights too (though they do look quite cool :$)

Mackem is no longer welcome in this thread :D

Norwich promoted
