05.13.12 | half time, scores are currently
Man City 1 QPR 0
Sunderland 0 Man Utd 1
Stoke 1 Bolton 2
West Brom 2 Arsenal 2
Spurs 1 Fulham 0
Everton 2 Newcastle 0
Swansea 0 Liverpool 0
Norwich 2 Villa 0
Chelsea 2 Blackburn 0
Wigan 2 Wolves 1
So Manchester City are set to win the league.
And Arsenal are in 4th. Fuck our defence, although apparently WBA's 1st goal was offside. |

05.13.12 | QPR ruffling a few feathers
All going wrong for Newcastle, not that I expected anything else. |
fulgrim
05.13.12 | well QPR just scored so not over yet. |

05.13.12 | COME ON DON'T LET CITEH WIN |
AliW1993
05.13.12 | This is all set up for Balotelli |

05.13.12 | Wow yeah.
I think being an Arsenal fan has to be one of the most frustrating things in football. Although Newcastle are immensely unpredictable |

05.13.12 | Lol Liverpool [2]
go Spurssssss (and fuck Chelsea, Munich will end them) |

05.13.12 | "COME ON DON'T LET CITEH WIN"
as much as I hate the kind of team City is (i.e. just a group of great players with no real history behind them compiled together with the the help of a new owner's immense bank of money), I hate United more.
COME ON CITY |
Adabelle
05.13.12 | PLEASE DON'T LET CITEH WIN |

05.13.12 | oh god damn it QPR. come on city, get shit done. I don't really care about who wins but I'd like to see a change from United/Chelsea/Arsenal winning every year |
Adabelle
05.13.12 | (From a neutral point of view) |

05.13.12 | FUCK YES ARSENAL
2-3
hope we don't throw this one away too, cos so far the scoreline has exactly matched what happened at Norwich |

05.13.12 | "Joey Barton collects QPR's traditional red card for elbowing Carlos Tevez. Wonderful. Well done Joey. That's really smart. He's just kneed another City player in the back on his way off, and tried to headbutt Kompany. He's being manhandled by the tunnel now. This is getting really ugly. Horrible stuff. Idiot, Barton." |

05.13.12 | 2-1 to QPR fuck |
fulgrim
05.13.12 | lol, not going exactly to plan for city. |
anarchistfish
05.13.12 | Keeping in mind that City have won all but two games (which they drew) at home this season.
And apparently QPR aren't playing that well so god knows what's going on
2-0 to spurs so arsenal really need to keep that lead |

feeeeels sooooooo goooooood
also arsenal finished 3rd. everything went as well as it could have |
JAV
05.13.12 | Balotelli saves the day again. |
Adabelle
05.13.12 | Was absolutely mental, was watching the stream of the QPR game for the last 10 minutes, it was almost the most brilliant end to a season ever. Then City scored twice |
anarchistfish
05.13.12 | what do you have against City? |
rockandmetaljunkie
05.13.12 | This will be a great day for Man City fans.
They have been waiting far too long for a moment like this. |
Adabelle
05.13.12 | It was more like, how fantastic would it be for City (& Nasri) to go and lose the title on the last day to a clearly inferior United team hahaha, oh well, MOTD is gonna be best |
anarchistfish
05.13.12 | "It was more like, how fantastic would it be for City (& Nasri) to go and lose the title on the last day to a clearly inferior United team hahaha,"
whaaa, no it wouldn't. it would be horrible to see United winning AGAIN when they clearly don't deserve it, and then having all their smug glory hunting fans shoving it in everyone else's faces like the slimy shits they are |

Adabelle
05.13.12 | Lol, idc about them that much tbh but could mean that City go on and win the next 3 titles and that would be even worse. If United had won, it would have been lol, yeah they'd probably not win again next year but it would be entertaining seeing if City collapsed etc |
thumbcrusher
05.13.12 | well everyone thought chelsea would dominate for years and years in 2005 when they won, so hopefully it's not all decided for the next decade |

05.13.12 | Chelsea 2 - 1 Blackburn

Man City 3 - 2 QPR
Norwich 2 - 0 Aston Villa

05.13.12 | Liverpool lost yet again lol.
Too bad for Tottenham. She took the 4rth position but Chelsea will be the 4rth English team participating in the Champions League next year. |
thumbcrusher
05.13.12 | i can't really see them beating bayern with so many players missing |
Adabelle
05.13.12 | Yeah but then it's hard to see City not dominating next year. This was the season they were meant to come close or challenge and yet they've won it. I doubt their team will get worse, even if they choose to offload Dzeko, Balotelli, etc
And the Man United team that started today was more expensive than the City team but okay. I'm not too bothered about the money thing, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. QPR trying to buy Ronaldhino haha |
anarchistfish
05.13.12 | I think Munich will still win |
Mojito
05.13.12 | unreal fucking end. when mackie scored that diving header to put qpr up it was probably one of the best moments i've seen this year. barton is still a fucking grub but that was just the most fitting end to the season. also i feel united would have deserved it, i mean their players aren't as good as city's but they've been consistent enough and they did earn more points then they did last year - when they actually got the title. |
anarchistfish
05.13.12 | united haven't been that amazing. like a lot of people said, they probably wouldn't have been anywhere near the top if it weren't for rooney |
thumbcrusher
05.13.12 | i think united will still challenge strongly until fergie leaves, however many players city buy |
anarchistfish
05.13.12 | they aren't gonna go away, that's for sure |
rockandmetaljunkie
05.13.12 | "united haven't been that amazing. like a lot of people said, they probably wouldn't have been anywhere near the top if it weren't for rooney"
Don't forget Ferguson. The fact that United had such an inferior roster in terms of quality compared to City's and still managed to finish behind with no points difference, shows Fergie's contribution. Best coach in England. His successor will have a difficult task filling his boots. |
thumbcrusher
05.13.12 | it would be good for united to have a reshuffle in the team and clear a few players out, losing the title should help that process along more quickly. get a classy midfielder in (modric or sneijder would be nice!) and a forward (van perise??? is there any chance of that actually being true? higuain would be an excellent buy) and that's a very strong team.
good to see sir alex being graceful in defeat too. |
anarchistfish
05.13.12 | "a forward (van perise???"
if you even so much as look at van persie I will go up to manchester personally and burn down old trafford |

AliW1993
05.13.12 | "Being able to buy the title is a disgrace, didn't particularly care if Man United won but fuck Man City."
Old argument, everyone that's ever won the PL has "bought" the title. |
JAV
05.13.12 | Not seeing how United's roster is all that inferior. They have a lot of big players. |
anarchistfish
05.13.12 | "haha! don't you think he deserves to win something though?"
well he won't go to united then will he (come on you walked into that one)
I'll lock him inside the dressing room if I have to |
AliW1993
05.13.12 | I'm not sure what the figures were today, but Man Utd's lineup last weekend cost £10 million more than City's. |

05.13.12 | not really they probably won't be able to hang on to Bale as there is (somehow) Barcelona interest. Modric will probably leave, to either United or Chelsea, especially if they can beat Bayern next week. As for Adebayor, there's a big question mark as to whether or not they can actually afford to make his loan permanent/cover his hefty wage demands. |

05.13.12 | were it not for some dodgy sausages they would have been in the champions league under martin jol in 2006 |
anarchistfish
05.13.12 | I think we got lucky tbh. Spurs had that long streak of suddenly doing shit and were it not for that, we would never have come close to 3rd. As it is, we seriously need to sort our defence out. Scoring isn't a problem but jesus christ we let a lot in. Arsenal took the most amount points from losing positions out of all the teams in the premier league. |
mangasm
05.13.12 | Yeah hopefully Wenger realized his mistake of doing not a single fucking thing in the transfer market last season.
Gonna start up a racy Euro 2012 thread here soon. |

anarchistfish
05.13.12 | I remember the last Euro got barely any attention here cos England failed to qualify.
I really hate the mentality around international football in this country. During games and tournaments, the pundits only ever talk about England. Every time they say it's "England's time to win it", but if they lose or draw they hate on their own team. I can't imagine other countries doing that.
I know France did after 2010 but you can't really blame them. |

The best and most dramatic day the Premier League's ever seen. |
