Football..this seasons premier league...

[IrlamHillbilly]

Yea I think thats what Mark Hughes wants to do. Although he said he was behind the Kaka bid, I seriously doubt it. Gary Cook is a despicable man and the way he accused a club of AC Milan's statute of "bottling it" during the Kaka transfer debacle was a disgrace.

[birchy]

I think hes had too much shit over that really. City were pushin the deal Milan obviously wanted to do it, till they felt the fan pressure

[dontask]

thing is, they havent earned their money so even if they do well, people will always hate em, just like chelsea.

united do well and it bugs me but i respect them, cant say that about chelsea.

[wtysl]

chelsea werent that bad before the money, raneri (spelling) had done a great job before they turned into chelski

im pleased money is coming to the premiership, i think the takeovers will become more common with people seeing how massive our league is, although it is seeing more and more foreign players arriving

i hope city dont start to ignore the english talent the youth academy keeps producing
one team that stands out has to aston villa, after their take over they have still stuck to their english players and brought in more, they steadily improve every season and they seem to have a very good youth system, could easily break the top 4 next season as long as they dont lose barry

city need to look at villa, they seem to have ignored the younger players this season, i think sturridge & evans should have been given more chance to improve

heres to next season

[kokainekinney]

apparently sturridge is coming to rovers as part of the santa cruz deal...

i dont think villa have what it takes to push for top 4. young and agbonlahor (spelling) were on fire at the start of season and they were winning loads and stuff.
but as soon as those 2 went off form a bit, the team lost form and slipped out of 4th and into 5/6th. villa seem to rely on those 2. theyl need to invest wisely in some new players to push them into the top 4, especially in defence as that guy has retired cus of injuries. i dont think they can rely on heskey/carew to bang the goals in consistantly either.

big sam is guna have a big clear out at rovers this summer....the wage bill is too high, get rid of all the dead wood. start again with some big sam wheeler dealer signings!

[dontask]

yh next season looks promising for rovers, villa might struggle next season i think spurs could push for 4th more than the others this season.

[mc18988]

yeah redknapp has worked miricales again and I reckon if they sign a better keeper (or get the best outta gomes) and defend better they have a good chance but only if keane and defoe etc can score week in week out

sunday will be interesting to see what team we put out, I think we'll rest pretty much everyone apart from rio and fletcher will play as he's suspended. Feel sorry for the teams in relegation battle but it won't be a weak side and its how the fixtures fall, tough shit

remember liverpool doing it 2007 and fulham won to stay up, selfish but the priority is your own success

[birchy]

Ched Evans isn't good enough! Sturridge to Blackburn?? Why are they payin him the stupid money he's supposed to want, I dont think so some how.
I think Spurs will do alrite next yr, Villa have gone off the boil really I dont think they will be as good next season.

[IrlamHillbilly]

For the last four or so seasons Spurs have been predicted to break into the top four but always have a terrible start to the season. I can't see them getting top four next season. I think city, Spurs, Everton will be pushing towards the fifth spot; depending on signings. Arsenal have shown improvements as the seasons gone on and if they, as Wenger has said, sign some experienced players should do better next year.

Teams fielding weakend sides should not be moaned about by the teams it can effect. They have had 37 previous games to get themselves out of the position they are in and no one is breaking any rules playing an 'under-strenghth' side. Two seasons ago we could of, and should of, sent West Ham down by fielding a weakened side at OT when Tevez scored in front of the Stretford End.

right fellas.......


I know we got a few united fans on here and - we gotta get something against you lot on sunday and hope newcastle get shit all

what are your lot opinions on what team fergie should play an such - I mean whatever team you lot are gonna play its gonna be a formidable line-up - as we saw with macheda


I'm brickin it on sunday cause I can seriously see newcastle nicking summit at villa and you lot destroying us

I really hope the team that played against bolton away last week turns up cause we should get a draw then, but newcastle have been poor 3/4 of the season so I can't see them beating villa but you never know....


can you lot do us a favour please an let us win - come on - you don't need pride lol, you won 18 premier leagues, 3 in a row and you gonna win the champions league on wed lets face it

its gonna be a nervous sunday for us fans, sunderland, boro and newcastle fans an all

[fastfuse]

If it was down to me as United Manager I'd send out the under 16 team at Hull, I think they deserve to stay in the premership more than Newcastle. If for no ther reason than Phil Browns 'electric beach' tan

I want to see a load of semi naked Gordies crying there tatoos off over the weekend

I can't stand whats gone on at Newcastle its horrible. I hate Shearer/Owen/Ashley/Dowie complete Clowns all of em. One of the biggest clubs in the country in the championship.....Outstandind.

'IF CARLSBERG DID RELIGATION BATTLES.........'

[mc18988]

I think that newcastle deserve to go down as the club needs a wake up call, they have major problems behind the scenes

We defo will play a weakened side, maybe Kuscack, Rafael, Rio, Evans, Fabio, Nani, Gibson, Fletcher, Tosic, Macheda, Welbeck?

I really hope in a way that we win and newcastle lose with hull staying up but I have a feeling newcastle will get a point and stay up on goal diff (heartbreaking I know but it happens)

BUT I really wouldn't mind if you got points from us to stay up with Alan Shearer & co going down, would be brilliant as Hull have played some good football this season with an actual team, Newcastle have "quality" players that dont seem to care anymore

going down would do them a favour, need to rebuild the club which at one point was a major rival to us

[kokainekinney]

apparently danny sturridge wants 65 grand a week!!!
what a joker!

and yeh, i really want newcastle to get relegated. they have too many jokers in their team, they sign players for big money with big wages....and they cant play together.
the worst thing they did was sack bobby robson when they did, its gone down hill ever since.

[IrlamHillbilly]

I'd much rather Newcastle go down but not at the expense of a United defeat. Phil Brown is a bit of a tosser but Newcastle and their idiotic fans, who always seem to have nothing better to do than just sit at home on a weekday awaiting a big annoucement to take place at St. James Park, would be my choice for relegation.

Sounds good to me... although I'd like to see Corry Evans, Jonny's brother, get a run out. He recently got into the Northern Ireland squad and is playing well in the reserves. Tosic definately deserves a chance as he's looked very promising so far at reserve level.

i really really REALLY hope newcastle go down. 'best fans in the world' my arse. being jobless and having nothing better to do than go down and proclaim the latest 'messiah' every 6 months doesn't make you the best fans in the world.

Before Keegan took over 1st time around they were languishing at the bottom of the championship with about 11,000-13,000 turning up. that's not the best fans in the world.

as a united fan it pains me to say it but Citeh fans are the fuckin' bollocks, and regularly sold out maine road even when they were right down there playing macclesfield ffs.

newcastle and their fans need a reality check, so fingers crossed. i don't hope hull win, i just hope they all lose, condemning the barcodes to the drop.
