2007 English Premier League

[Gwen Rockpounder]

What an amazing end to the season at the relegation end of the table, all three teams winning! Reading won away at the sheepshaggers 4-0, Birmingham thrashed Blackburn 4-1 at home but Fulham beating Portsmouth 1-0 meant the other two victories meant nothing in the end.

Sounds like Scum were lucky to get away with not conceding a penalty earlyish against Wigan and then Scholes not being sent off for what should have been a second yellow but hey, what else is new...

edit: hahaha irrelevant anyway, Chelsea concede a late equaliser as I was typing the above.

I hope Flamini enjoys UEFA cup football because with 1 week to go, getting tossed by Napoli (I believe didn't help).

Seriously, it fucking bugs me. He left because Arsenal stalled and didn't win the title, so he goes to an aging team that's arguably in a rebuilding stage. Arsenal basically have a guaranteed champions league spot and Milan is in grave danger of not even making it. I wonder if his contract is signed yet.

Oh well, honestly, if he wants to turn down very good to go play in Italy and be the Bayern Munich of 08/09, so be it.

He left cause AC Milan offered him better wages.

If you knew anything about Arsenal you'd know they have a very concrete wage structure in place, which they've had for years. It's the same reason why Cole left and the only player which theyve made an exception for in recent years was Thierry Henry.

Wenger refusing to sign new players in January cost them the title, and we'll see whether his willingness to let big names go over wages hurts them next season.

Because the player came on a free i.e. no transfer fee Flamini got around £4 million upfront just to sign with AC Milan plus something ridiculous like £100,000 a week.

He's NOT a 100k a week player. Not even fucking close. He complimented Fabregas and Fabregas complimented him. While Cesc is good enough to control a midfield himself, to spend that much on a support mid fielder is down right ridiculous.

Either way, I'm really bitter about his retarded comments. I'm bitter that he refused to sign with Arsenal and actually signed with Milan before the season ended. For that alone, I want Milan to miss out on CL football.

I think Roma wins Serie A though. Inter just look like they're crashing at an alarming rate.

2 years in a row at the top followed by two years at second whats next two years in 3rd? tied out to bolton which makes me sad, though the real concern for that game really was JT going out.

I'd be worried about Terry. He seems to have terrible luck getting injured. Kind of a good thing England isn't in Euro 2008....

Credit to Chelsea for pushing United all the way, but i think we can all agree that the best team in England won the league.

Now on to the BIG stuff. Rangers are still gunning for the quadruple!!

Got my ticket for the UEFA Cup Final on Wednesday!! Getting the train down to Manchester for the final tomorrow at 9:30am!!

WE ARE THE PEOPLE

My German club knows how to celebrate! Love Pualaner, esp their Oktoberfest.

ESPNsoccernet - England - Ronaldo admits desire to play in La Liga

Cue up the Man U. fans creating effigies for Ronaldo already. Does anyone really think he bolts for Madrid? I don't think they spend the cash on him but if they do, it'll definitely quiet the rumors for Fabregas which makes me cheer.

He's always maintained that he wants to play in Spain one day but that he is happy at Manchester United and plans to spend a few more years there. This article doesn't reflect a change in stance.

If Madrid offer 100 million pounds they might have to take it. No player is worth that.

I think if they go off and offer 100 million, Man U have to take it. Is he the best player in the world right now? Undoubtedly. At the same time, think of what you could do with that much money.

[Mimirswell]

Well certainly Manchester United could sell him. I am simply saying that nothing he is saying currently reflects a change in opinion on his part.

quoted the wrong person. I agree with you although he seems to be showing a little more indecision then in the past. The only time he showed more was post WC, but that was more out of spite due to everyone in England pretty much wanting him dead.
