Fucking love Mondays.

I know eh! It sucks bawlz. No idea why he left though, he seemed to have such a great partnership with Fabregas, they looked like friends off the pitch also. I wonder what Wenger will do. If only we could get Mascherano. That's the only DM that comes straight to mind that's worth anything or well Hargreaves but that'll never happen either. Meh

This is why I'm angry. Our midfield was in utter disarray without both of them in the central midfield this year. I don't know, this is really bad. There seems to be a lot of steam to the Hleb to Inter rumors as well. I mean, if we lost Flamini to transfer, I'd be angry, but I can live knowing we got a respectable fee for him. This is not the case. His contract ran out, he didn't want to play in England, so he's heading to Europe.

I hope Milan fucking crash out and miss Europe so he gets shit on for making a decision before the season is even over.

I don't know what they're going to do at this point.

Oh yeah, took this off the SA boards:

Found images of our supposed new kit, seems like they gave up alternating giving a new home and away shirt every other year and are now shoving out new home and away every season.

Love the home kit, not so mucht he away kit.

new chelsea home kit was shown a little while back. not bad but cech opted for an orange setup in goal...

anyone know the odds on wigan upsetting man utd and chelsea winning the title? would be an interesting wager

I'm watching the Women's FA Cup final on FSC. Arsenal v Leeds. Shockingly, the quality of play is pretty bearable.

Wait, nevermind, one fo the girls tried to throw the ball up field and it never went in bounds. Missed by about 4 feet actually.

Regardless, the level of ability is a lot higher than I thought it would be. If the WNBA was this interesting, people might watch it.

[Kiely]

No No no no no no and no. I can't watch the match for more than 10 seconds without imploding from that god damn annoying female commentator.
*girl takes a shot and misses*
"Yeah she tried to shoot but just missed by a few yards"
/facepalmaneurysm

[Waedar]

sounds like nfl commentators
"you see jim he tried to run with the ball and score. but he was stopped"

and the lovely
"now its 4th down so their defense is gonna want to stop them here"


as a sidenote i find the US women's team is decent to watch, especially Natasha Kai...mmmm

What makes you think he's a defender? The tackle on C. Ronaldo? Not sure if they meant it to be a real player but van Persie is a match.

[Kiely]

Except for the foot he uses

[Akileese]

So. What do we think of these Championship sides coming up? I don't follow the championship so I have no idea about the quality of teams. I seem to hear that West Brom is a very good team and should be able to stay up, but all I hear about Stoke is people shaking their heads.

I guess. I really doubt they were trying to point at a specific player.

1) He subbed in for Gallas
2) The tackle on Ronaldo
3) The defending against Ronaldinho
4) The defending against Ibrahimovic
5) The defending against the Portuguese team

Hehe it's all funny speculation anyway

So all ManU has to do is beat Wigan to have better goal avg right? I bet every CFC fan rooting for Wigan lol. Pretty close and intense.

Scum, err sort of sorry, Manchester United are level on points with Chelsea but are ahead on goal difference to the tune of 17 goals. They only have to match the result Chelsea achieve to retain the title.

Everton need a point to secure the 5th place for the UEFA cup. If they lose however and Aston Villa win, Villa will take 5th place as they are currently level on goal difference.

At the other end of the table, Birmingham are home to Blackburn, Reading away at Derby and Fulham away at Portsmouth. Two from Birmingham, Reading and Fulham will be relegated. Fulham are level on points with Reading but are 6 goals better off. Birmingham are a point behind the other two but have the best goal difference. Fulham are the only team with their fate in their own hands, if they win they stay up and the other two go down. Birmingham can stay up with a draw if Reading and Fulham both lose. Reading can also stay up with a draw if both the other teams lose.

Team       Played   GoalDiff   Points

Fulham       37        -23       33
------------------------------------
Reading      37        -29       33
Birmingham   37        -19       32

Phew!

I'm a Nottingham Forest supporter so am fairly pleased they are promoted back to the Championship but it's still the shitey championship. I just want Leeds United to stay in League One because they are yorkie bastards, basically!

[Waedar]

heh Grant wants a playoff to settle the EPL all or nothing at Moscow.....(ok it was a joke but it was better than chelsea doing it "my way" earlier)

and yeah the bottom of the table is a mess right now

also there was a rumor Gerrad was gonna be bought by Inter? never heard that one before and AC want Shevy for free still....
