fish.: Premier League, Final Day

fish. 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.
AliW1993 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.
Adabelle 05.13.12	COME ON DON'T LET CITEH WIN
AliW1993 05.13.12	This is all set up for Balotelli
fish. 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
Aids 05.13.12	Lol Liverpool [2] go Spurssssss (and fuck Chelsea, Munich will end them)
AliW1993 05.13.12	Can't see us coming back from this, when we lose we tend to lose heavily.
fish. 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
Aids 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)
fish. 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
fish. 05.13.12	"I don't really care about who wins but I'd like to see a change from United/Chelsea/Arsenal winning every year" ffs we haven't won anything since 2005
Adabelle 05.13.12	Bbcsport tells me Barton got sent off :\|
AliW1993 05.13.12	Oh Joey
AliW1993 05.13.12	"got sent off" doesn't tell half the story haha
fish. 05.13.12	fuck this is really busy. Barton sent off and apparently getting pretty aggressive
Adabelle 05.13.12	What did he do? Not watching, assume something moronic?
fish. 05.13.12	fuck not having sky, following this all via the telegraph gonna enjoy watching MotD tonight
fish. 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."
fish. 05.13.12	2-1 to QPR fuck
fulgrim 05.13.12	lol, not going exactly to plan for city.
fish. 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
AliW1993 05.13.12	holy.fucking.shit this is getting tasty
thumbcrusher 05.13.12	can't believe what's happening!
fish. 05.13.12	the thought of manchester united winning again, especially this season when they haven't been particularly good, ugh. their fans are so smug, and keep in mind I live in the south
Adabelle 05.13.12	OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
thumbcrusher 05.13.12	city have had 30+ shots to qpr's 3 lol
fish. 05.13.12	85% possession as well or something?
fish. 05.13.12	it's got to be too late now ugh
fish. 05.13.12	2-2, wow still too late ughugh
fulgrim 05.13.12	yeah probably, they still got a few minutes though.
porch 05.13.12	3-2
thumbcrusher 05.13.12	WHAT THE FUCK
fulgrim 05.13.12	shit, they did it. nice one city.
fish. 05.13.12	oh my god 3-2 man city fucking hell fuck wow
Sirob 05.13.12	thought this was going to be a recspecs list
thumbcrusher 05.13.12	that was the craziest 2 hours of planet earth
Adabelle 05.13.12	NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
StrangerofSorts 05.13.12	Eugh. Well at least Wigan ended up winning.
Adabelle 05.13.12	Barton, i didn't think it was possible to hate you even more than i did
Thane 05.13.12	hahahahhaha intense congrats to city, fuck you to united
fish. 05.13.12	hahahahahahahahaha all the man u fans on facebook this is what I was waiting for all season 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
fish. 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
fish. 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
thumbcrusher 05.13.12	don't call me a slimy shit anarchist. now i'm sad =[
Pentagon 05.13.12	that was intense. i almost died
fish. 05.13.12	"don't call me a slimy shit anarchist =[" depends on where you live ;)
rockandmetaljunkie 05.13.12	Can smn post the final results ?
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
Adabelle 05.13.12	Chelsea 2 - 1 Blackburn Everton 3 - 1 Newcastle Man City 3 - 2 QPR Norwich 2 - 0 Aston Villa Stoke 2 - 2 Bolton Sunderland 0 - 1 Man Utd Swansea 1 - 0 Liverpool Tottenham 2 - 0 Fulham West Brom 2 - 3 Arsenal Wigan 3 - 2 Wolves
fish. 05.13.12	"Being able to buy the title is a disgrace," usually I'd agree but I hate united so much that I kinda overlook that Man City 3 QPR 2 (FT), Sunderland 0 Man Utd 1 (FT), Stoke 2 Bolton 2 (FT) West Brom 2 Arsenal 3 (FT), Spurs 2 Fulham 0 (FT) Everton 3 Newcastle 1 (FT) Chelsea 2 Blackburn 1 (FT) Swansea 1 Liverpool 0 (FT), Norwich 2 Villa 0 (FT) Wigan 3 Wolves 2 (FT)
rockandmetaljunkie 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
fish. 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.
fish. 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
fish. 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.
fish. 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
thumbcrusher 05.13.12	haha! don't you think he deserves to win something though?
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.
fish. 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.
JAV 05.13.12	Angry cuz they lost. Should have used the Berba.
Irving 05.13.12	SOOO MUCH DRAMA
fish. 05.13.12	who lost?
TBliss2 05.13.12	Thank god Utd lost, all my glory hunting mates will be gutted.
Keyblade 05.13.12	Hate City but fuck me that was awesome.
Sleaper 05.13.12	CITTTTTTY CHAMPIOOOOONS!!
fish. 05.13.12	"Thank god Utd lost, all my glory hunting mates will be gutted." At last someone on the same wavelength
thumbcrusher 05.13.12	yes i checked all their wikipedia's hart £1.5m kompany £6m lescott £22m zabaleta £6.5m clichy £7m barry £12m nasri £25m silva ~£25m toure £24m tevez £47m aguero £38m
TBliss2 05.13.12	Yeah man, cant stand Utd.
thumbcrusher 05.13.12	united de gea £19m evra £5.5m ferdinand £29m evans (youth) jones £26.5m giggs (youth) carrick £18m young £16m scholes (youth) valenica £16m rooney £27m
ZedO 05.13.12	finally, the glory has come viva city!!
fish. 05.13.12	kinda annoying going on city's page and watching their fan count go up at an astronomical rate
thumbcrusher 05.13.12	ooops JONES WAS £16.5m so... city £214 united £147m
Keyblade 05.13.12	Yep. Wonder how many "lifelong fans" will start popping up now.
thumbcrusher 05.13.12	don't know why i did all that
Aids 05.13.12	That was fucking insane. Good job city. And you guys are retards, everyone buys titles these days. Get over it.
thumbcrusher 05.13.12	yeah the 'bought' argument is bollocks. city were the better team over the season that's why they won, however much their players were.
JAV 05.13.12	Exactly, cost does not always = quality or consistency.
Aids 05.13.12	Good players cost money, good players win games, lots of won games = titles. Like obviously fucking Bolton wasn't going to win the title.
Aids 05.13.12	For the record I don't like either manchester team. My english team is tottenham. But I really don't care about english football that much.
fish. 05.13.12	tottenham are becoming worryingly good
thumbcrusher 05.13.12	no one's said that for a few months
fish. 05.13.12	well they were only a mid table team just a few years ago
phishing 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.
mangasm 05.13.12	ARSENAL ARSENAL ARSENAL ARSENAL ARSENAL ARSENAL ARSENAL I honestly might have cried if we would have lost today.
Fortheloveofmusic 05.13.12	Everton finished above Liverpool and Arsenal qualified for Champions League. I, for one, am extremely happy right now
thumbcrusher 05.13.12	were it not for some dodgy sausages they would have been in the champions league under martin jol in 2006
fish. 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.
Fortheloveofmusic 05.13.12	I really hope Vertonghen goes to Arsenal. I could see him having a great partnership in the back with Vermaelen, but it sounds like he'll be going to Spurs now.
fish. 05.13.12	England v France is gonna be... interesting I'm kinda forced to support France cos no matter who I do support, I will always get mocked if England win
Aids 05.13.12	Go Holland!
fish. 05.13.12	I'm hopeful though. Since that disastrous world cup and the immense subsequent shake up, France have beaten Germany on their home turf and Brazil
thumbcrusher 05.13.12	i'm a bit worrid we have to play france without rooney, and maybe parker now. not having wilshire was bad enough.
fish. 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.
mangasm 05.13.12	Rooting for Robben and Robin.
phishing 05.13.12	Remember the World Cup Mars Bar wrappers with the England design? Never before have I seen such a nationwide boycott of something as there was that chocolate bar up here in Scotland. Germany for Euro2012.
Aids 05.13.12	I'd be aight with Germany taking it. Holland or Spain are my favourites, then Germany I guess but just cause the country rules so god damn hard.
fish. 05.13.12	genuinely think France have a shot at it, but I think Spain will win it
fish. 05.13.12	wow, Group B is interesting. Germany, Netherlands and Portugal
TheJackal 05.13.12	couldnt be more excited for MOTD tonight... glad Arsenal did it in the end, although the easy way is definately not the Arsenal way, when Chelsea beat Bayern and Spurs dont make the Champions League I'll be even more happy :) regarding England, I have minimal expectations. The media makes us favourites every year when in reality we're terrible and I can't see that changing this year unfortuanately. also Chamberlain for England!
MalleusMaleficarum 05.13.12	i hear liverpool had a fantastic season
Thane 05.13.12	hoping spain win it, think it'll be germany though. neuer, hummels, özil, gomez, etc have been amazing this season.
sifFlammable 05.13.12	city's spending is not so much on transfer fee as much as wages but anyway epic day
mangasm 05.13.12	I'll make the official Euro thread when Recspecs is unbanned, but GOTDAMN Germany is stacked.
Aids 05.13.12	"wow, Group B is interesting. Germany, Netherlands and Portugal" woah that's intense I didn't realize those teams were in the same group. group of death maybe? i need to go look at the groups actually.
Aids 05.13.12	lol Group A is weak as fuck.
VisionsFromTheDarkSide 05.13.12	Hmmm Ukraine, Sweden and France for us. Should be interesting
BroFro 05.13.12	That City game about killed me. Greatest day of football I've ever seen.
mangasm 05.13.12	"That City game about killed me. Greatest day of football I've ever seen." How long have you watched football if you don't mind me asking?
The7thVermicide 05.13.12	Lol Liverpool , and Barton is a fucking cunt.
The7thVermicide 05.13.12	By the way Ferguson is an excellent coach.
IMZA1793 05.13.12	holy shit. quite possibly the best final day to a league i've seen since the 2006-2007 La Liga season finale (that R.Madrid won)
MalleusMaleficarum 05.13.12	anyone sputnikers from liverpool ?
fish. 05.14.12	Yep, highlights just enforced that Barton is the biggest cunt in the league
Keyblade 05.14.12	OMG MCLEISH IS GONNA GET SACKED jumps around and squeals like a little girl
Esky 05.14.12	Tevez cost 25, not 47 - United and City bid the same, that 47 story was outted as being bullshit. Also, in the derby two weeks ago, United's start 11 was worth 8 million pounds more than City's (161 vs 169). The best and most dramatic day the Premier League's ever seen.
