VictoriaGooner Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 All I can say is what a payout Moyes is getting for being sacked with five years remaining on his contract.A couple of papers have made mention of a clause in Moyes' contract limiting his payout if he was sacked in a season where Manchester United failed to qualify for the Champions League - he's looking at a single year apparently, rather than a payout for the full term of his contract.That doesn't surprise me if that clause was written in the initial contract by United. The club probably wrote that in if this exact event would occur. And surprise surprise it did. It's like they knew this would happen Now why didn't Mike Ashley get that written in Pardew's contract? The only reason why Pardew still has a job because Ashley can't afford to sack him and pay him out... THE SHORT FUSE | ARSEBLOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorinK92 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Back to the subject of the Champions League, today was a rough day for Chelsea, they lost Cech for the season for a dislocated shoulder, effectively ending their title hopes. As well as having Eto'o out for a period of time.Also, Terry got injured but no one cares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictoriaGooner Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Back to the subject of the Champions League, today was a rough day for Chelsea, they lost Cech for the season for a dislocated shoulder, effectively ending their title hopes. As well as having Eto'o out for a period of time.Also, Terry got injured but no one caresPlus there is a possiblity that they lost Terry for the next two matches (minimum) as well. But I'm sorry that Atletico v Chelsea match was ok but Chelsea parked the double decker bus in front of Cech/Swartzer. Atletico out shot Chelsea by a heavy margin, Atletico had 63% of the possession over the entire match, Chelsea barely got out of their own half to make any attempts on Courtois. Courtois barely worked up a sweat last night. On top of that, Chelsea players were pulling Atletico players down constantly by any means. Lampard should have been sent off for a second yellow card with an intentional handball (and no it didn't hit him in the chest...). Mourinho's Chelsea sides have only scored 1 goal in 5 UCL SF matches. With all the money Chelsea has spent in the last two transfer windows, they can't score a goal...atrocious. And Mourinho commented on Allardyce's playing 19 Century football during their match earlier this year when West Ham parked the bus. I'm sorry but Mourinho has parked the bus that numerous times this season (Atletico, Arsenal at the Emirates, Man Utd at the Bridge) but to him it's good tactics. Give me a break...that's 19 century football THE SHORT FUSE | ARSEBLOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffa Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Actually, the Victorians usually eschewed defence - the style of football played back then was very attack minded, loose 1-1-8 or 1-2-7 formations were the order of the day.The next time West Ham play Chelsea they should adopt one of those formations. That'll teach Jose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayMac Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Wait, Mark Schwarzer is still good? Isn't he 90?Whether he's 20 years old or 100, he played well enough for the Blues to get a win against Liverpool so I'll take it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictoriaGooner Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Well if Mourinho thought he was out of the Premier League title, that just proved today that they are still in the thick of it. Swartzer did get the job done for Chelsea. But on the European front I think Atletico will come out guns a blazing on Wednesday. Plus Chelsea has injuries (Cech and Terry), suspensions (Lampard and Miklele), and cup tied (Sallah and Matic). I think Atletico learned from their mistakes on last week (too many crosses) and will come will come with a different set of tactics. Mourinho can only park the double Decker bus so many times before it gets tipped over. THE SHORT FUSE | ARSEBLOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorinK92 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I won't give this season to Chelsea, Schwarzer is bound to mess up a couple of times since he hasn't really played in years. I think Liverpool will take their next two games and win the title, City will probably drop a couple of points somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Man City's last two games are at home vs. Villa and West Ham.If there's hope for them to drop points, it will have to come next Saturday when they play at Goodison. Liverpool finishes away to Crystal Palace and home to Newcastle, two highly winnable games.Chelsea finishes home to Norwich and away at (likely to be) relegated Cardiff.

VictoriaGooner Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 With the way the Prem has played out this season, I think all three contending clubs have a chance of dropping points. No matches are an easy three points anymore. Palace could be a thorn in the Reds side like against Chelsea and Cardiff might pull out a momentous victory v Man City in their last match in the Prem THE SHORT FUSE | ARSEBLOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VictoriaGooner Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Who knows who will take the title this year but the main thing is that Manchester United are NOT going to win any silverware this season and might not even qualify for Europa League.
