O_Town_Clown Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I was spared the torture of watching the ManU vs. Liverpool match last week, but once I saw the score I said, "I'd hate to be Fulham, because ManU are going to crush them." Little did I know that 4-1 to Liverpool was just foreshadowing the upcoming United collapse....I can't watch. ::shields eyes:: Sig by TalktoChuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chestnutz Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 and it looks like Tottenham will be Chelsea.Wow, hopefully Arsenal don't blow it against the magpies. erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nation Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 It should be real fun to watch the EPL go down to the wire. I`m a gunner fan hoping to see Liverpool win it all. Hopefully Cesc and the boys can play spoilers to Man U on May 16th. Also we might be in for another all EPL Champs League Final. Man Utd should move comfortably into the Semi`s against Porto, Arsenal not so sure. But counting Liverpool or Chelsea, at least 2 English teams should move to the Semis.

pheer Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I would post how I feel about my Red Devils losing to Fulham, but this is a PG rated board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Well, Chelsea and ManU opened the door, and Liverpool have stormed through it. Leading Aston Villa 5-0 in the 69th minute, I think it's safe to say that they'll be only a point back of the Red Devils at this late juncture. Even though I'm an Arsenal fan, I'd be ecstatic to see Liverpool win ? or really anyone besides Chelsea or ManU. The only thing wrong with Liverpool's win is that I decided to start Jussi Jaaskelainen in goal for my fantasy team v West Brom instead of Pepe Reina. C'est la vie. Gerrard's hat trick more than makes up for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heernumurr Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 As a Liverpool fan I'm just happy that there we're in a title race this year. Would be great to win it, but United need to drop more points and we need to be perfect for the rest of the season.But it's looking more possible after today...

Viper Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Also we might be in for another all EPL Champs League Final. Man Utd should move comfortably into the Semi`s against Porto, Arsenal not so sure. But counting Liverpool or Chelsea, at least 2 English teams should move to the Semis.The Gunners are peaking (not to mention, finally mostly healthy) at the perfect time of the season; they should beat Villarreal in the CL quarters. And Liverpool's waxing of Villa helped Arsenal tighten their grip on fourth place and the last English berth in next year's CL as well.They've also made the FA Cup "Final Four" for the first time in several years and play Chelsea, whom they've already beaten once this year in the PL. The Gunners could actually pull off a double this year, something I would never have guessed just two months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I'm just hoping the Magpies can starve off relegation a team like Newcastle with all that tradition doesn't belong in the Coca-Cola Championship same with Middlesbrough.

I kind of feel they've hung around down at the bottom for too long, relegation might be the best thing to clear out some of the horrible players they've accumulated over the last couple of seasons.

heernumurr Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 It's the old "Too big to go down" argument, something I think Leeds definately finished off. People around here seem to have gradually realised that the team just isn't big any more, and will probably have a few more years in the Football League before they have a chance at the Premier League again. It's not new though, just look at where two-time European Cup winners Nottingham Forest have been for a while now. Other current big PL teams like West Ham and Man City have also found themselves down there quite recently, and probably came back stronger for it.

I think you mean West Brom.City certainly came back stronger by gaining promotion to the prem a year later.

WelshSteeler Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Possible confusion here-I was referring to City's season in (the now) League One as most of the post was about the current position of the once mighty Leeds in that division and twice European Cup Winners Forest recent spell there.

Yeah, West Ham didn't go down that far, but I do feel that they came back stronger. I should get my brother to post on this (he lurks around these boards), he's a huge West Ham fan.Would be interested to know the teams that you guys see as "deserving" of being in the Premiership, not on the strength of their game or squad, but on history and reputation. I've always felt Birmingham and Wolves should be there, but have never seemed to make it stick when they are. On the other hand, Wigan have done well in cementing their place, but I just don't see them as a top flight club.I suppose what I'm asking in a way is, if the Premier League were to move to a franchise system, who would be in?
