heernumurr Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Ok, games will be kicking off pretty soon, so where are the predictions?As much as it pains me, Man U will take the title on goal difference. If that is the case, hopefully Villa will grab the UEFA Cup spot off Everton, and I can see it happening (three points behind, level on goal difference.)And as for the relegation battle, please dear lord please, just relegate Fulham. You know its the right thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Watching Chelsea-Bolton right now. John Terry got carted off a few minutes ago after a collision with his goalie Petr Cech, and the early report is a broken arm, which would put him out of the Champions' League final. It also probably just put any chance of the Blues catching ManU for the Premiership title in the toilet WC.Update: The Chelsea-Bolton play-by-play guy just reported that Cristiano Ronaldo has scored for ManU.I guess I might as well start making my championship sig for the Red Devils now.

heernumurr Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 :censored:ing Man United: penalty against Ferdinand turned down; other end of the pitch, Ronaldo puts one away. Story of the season.ps. On the Rio penalty, stonewall apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 A ray of hope for Chelsea, at least for the Champions' League: They have updated Terry's condition to a partially dislocated arm instead of a break.No change in the score vs. Bolton, or in ManU's game either.Update: Shevchenko finishes beautifully to put the Blues up 1-0, so they cling to life in the EPL as well.

buzzcut Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Chelski scores in the 62nd Minute. The CCSLC's resident Geelong Cats fan. Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends. Sounds like something from a Rocky & Bullwinkle story arc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Giggs scores for ManU, which more or less seals the deal for them.Update: To add further insult, Bolton scores in stoppage time. The match ends 1-1, meaning ManU wins the title outright instead of on goal differential.And to add injury to that insult, Didier Drogba has also been injured for Chelsea and he might miss the CL final.

DEAD! Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Man U win! Fulham stay in the Premier League with the win at Portsmouth. Reading and Birmingham City go down. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwertman Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Yay....the boys have done it again and the trophy stays home for another year.Id like to personally thank Kevin Davies of Bolton for putting the whole goal differential debate to bed at the same time.A very exciting season none the less....now on to Moscow to complete the double Kings Cross AFC -BIP, Winnipeg Falcons - TNFF, St. Louis Archers - MLF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred T. Jane Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Manchester United supporters (Apart from leopard88 and DEAD!, they're Kosher) can rot and die. Bandwagoning numpties*As for the relegation battle, Fulhamerica stay up, huzzah!*Say what you want about me, at least I was supporting Arsenal when George Graham was manager. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

Viper Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Meanwhile at the other end of the table, Derby County's Premiership stint mercifully ends with eight draws, 29 losses, and a solitary victory (vs. Newcastle United, for the record) in 38 games. If I were a Miami Dolphins fan, I wouldn't be feeling quite so bad about my team anymore.As for my side, Arsenal at least finished on a high note by beating Sunderland, to finish two points back of Chelsea in third. A strong end to a season that once held out a lot of promise, until they lost their dominating form at the worst possible time of the season. The Gunners now face an uncertain offseason with Flamini and Lehmann already out the door, and possibly more to follow. On the other hand, Arsene Wenger is insisting that no more Gunners will fly the coop during summer transfers. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthSidePride Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I will be the first to start the trash talking. Liverpool will finish at the top in 2008-2009At this point though, anyone but Man U and the glory hunters would be a victory.

I never jumped on that Chelsea hating bandwagon, true sports fans still support "anyone but United". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandwagoning numpties*As for the relegation battle, Fulhamerica stay up, huzzah!*Say what you want about me, at least I was supporting Arsenal when George Graham was manager.Here's hoping that Fulham returns to its traditional midtable mediocrity! Huzzah!Frankly, I can't wait for the big 4 to bugger off and form their own supergalactic league where they can beat each other up and devour Rupert Murdoch's Sky Sports $$$$. Then maybe the PL would be something worth watching. The only drama anymore is seeing what Championship team can eke out PL survival by the skin of their teeth (with inevitable relegation looming in year #2 - see Reading. Then begins the yo-yo dance perfected by WBA. Up, down, up, down. Thrilling!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the "support your local club" campaign, but that's mostly for US folks.I'm with you on the local club campaign. I just moved to Portland and have seen three of the Portland Timbers' first five games. It's been a lot of fun to have a local team to support, even in a lower division.But I can't buy into the "screw the big four" mentality out there. Obviously, that's because I'm an Arsenal fan. But I became an Arsenal fan after watching them on their way to the Champions League final a few years ago. Call me a bandwagoner, but I think many American fans gravitate toward the big four because they're the teams most commonly televised on major networks.

edwardgr Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Top flight football finally makes its way to Hull next year, but only for next year as Hull City will challenge Derby's futility record in the prem. That is of course assuming that Hull can make it past Bristol first (I just don't see Palace equalizing). I also think West Brom stays up but Stoke, Hull, and Sunderland will get the drop next year. Which means that Wigan will have held on for at least five years who would have guessed that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
