The one bit of positive news today for me. My home town Crawley town sealed promotion to League One. Thats double promotion within 2 seasons coming from the Conference :D

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

And there was me thinking you were from Les Ulis... ;)

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

:shocking:

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Well done.:tu:

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

I am happy to give support to Crawlry Town, and cheer them when I see them...on the understanding that when they play Man City (in premiership, champions league etc) that my loyalties lie with Man City first. :D

Note that I don't say same for my scottish team Hearts..I think I'm pretty safe that Man City and them will never meet, and that includes pre-season friendlies :D

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

D-day really.

If Spurs lose today and Newcastle pick up 3 points they only need a draw at Everton to finish top 4. That would also put Newcastle into 3rd for the time being.

So many outcomes, Arsenal could find themselves 5th if both Newcastle and Spurs win.

Any other than a win for us today if Spurs win, I'd call it quits bar something spectacular from Arsenal on the last day.

All will reveal itself this afternoon.

City will probably dominate the game but the simple fact is Chelsea done the same for a good 80 minutes. You let Cissé in and this man will make a fool out of you.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Hoping both Newcastle and Spurs drop points.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Me too, for quite different reasons :D

Just heard Ashley young saying Man Utd might still win on goal difference if they score loads if goals against Swansea and sunderland. :D

For all Spurs fans out there, just found out that on the spurs web site www.spurs.co.uk that the legendary Spurs captain Steve Perryman is in hospital following a heart op. He is now in intensive care.

I am certain that all Spurs fans will wish him well.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Well l am not a Spurs fan but l still wish him a speedy recovery.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

I think todays game is bigger in some ways then Mondays..as it affects a lot more clubs.

Apart from both Manchester clubs and Newcastle..Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea have an interest

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Lets the stress and tension begin.:)

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

We might even reach the climax today...depending on results :D

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Come on City and Villa. Although maybe it's better to get it over with. Arsenal will continue to blow it next week if, by some miracle, we have it back in our hands.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Be realistic..ok re Man City...but Villa? Even God can only do so much :D

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Come on Villa, I promise never to make another joke about Birmingham again if you win. Not for the reminder of the day certainly.

City, you're not endearing yourselves to me at the moment.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

City seem to have had plenty of posession but have not created anything so far.

Good news for Arsenal fans as Villa take the lead.

Mancini needs to change something...lacking penetration

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

But the trouble with Mancini is he's too cautious.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

What the heck is Barry doing..had a chance of a shot..and he tried to do an Arsenal and play pretty football through Newcastle...it is like a disease...just frigging shoot!

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

A draw isn't good for either side really....

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Then Barry stands and looks at the ball..as Newcastle take it off him..How is Barry getting a game?

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

A draw next week will be enough to place Arsenal in the top four regardless of what happens at Everton now.

Re: Football Season 2011/12

I was thinking of Newcastle but yeh. Tottenham will win this still I think.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

I said beginning of last week that Man City would beat Newcastle and it seems i was correct, looks like we will have to let City keep out trophy warm until end of next season so we can take our 20th then

It does make for an exciting finale..I suspect the two games will be the two Manchester teams...when will we know?

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

will there be a helicopter with the Trophy it in lol

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Real one will be in Manchester, replica will be at Sunderland.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

makes sense

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Yeah, Not actually sure how they'll do it. I presume they'll do something like that.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

And the question is will there be a red button choice for us?.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

both games will probably be live on sky, each channel will keep everyone updated

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

My sons school were given free tickets for Notts County v Colchester Utd so I took him along for his first ever football match.

It was a great atmosphere with plenty of goals but I really want to applaude the Colchester Utd fans.

They never stopped singing and they were a credit to their club. Good luck for next season (and Notts County).

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

I think that next seeks game with City and QPR, you will see loads of bookings and red cards, guaranteed.

I think that QPR will shock everyone, they need the points to stay up, all the City players are a load of wet blankets who will fall over with a puff of air, just to get a free kick.

I just hope that Spurs knock off Arsenal from 3rd spot. I just hope we get champions league football and not that silly Europa cup rubbish which is not taken seriously by any club thats init.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

You have interesting views...no doubt if you keep talking..eventually you will get one that is actually right :D

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Its so nice to hear your thought invoking posts Arthur.;)

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Arthur i think you need to take a step back and hope Liverpool beat Chelsea on Tuesday

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

I believe that Liverpool will get there own back and give the cheaters a thrashing, after the performance and the cheating by the Chelsea team, with diver drogba doing his usual keeping the pitch warm, and the goal that should have been given.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Arthur..apart from you and The Sun..no one else thought it was a goal..:D

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

I saw the game and from some angles it look a goal and others not a goal.

We need goal line tech now.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Can't argue witrh wanting goal line tech...should have been used before now.

Looking forward to it...added excitement waiting to see if it is a goal..etc..will add to the game...and hopefully stop unfair results..at least some of them

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

well Suarez isn't exactly squeaky clean and neither is Carroll

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

To be perfectly honest quite a few players are not that sqeaky clean in my book.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Two points to make, being a former referee, the ball was over, but only just, this is seriously where we need goal line technology.

When l used to ref games l used to make sure that my lino's looked at these lines, and even on corners l used to make sure that l was standing on the line within three feet of the goal posts to insure that if the ball was over then l would signal a goal.

Not like the refs do in PL games, you are talking about big things nowadays, and the costs of losing and the aggro that it brings.

Second thing is, this Top four or Five finish, being a big Spurs fan, obviously l want Spurs to finish Top four, but what happens if we finish 4th or 5th can someone explain ?

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Right if you finish 4th and Chelsea win the CL then you will qualify for the Europa league but if you finish 4th and Chelsea lose in the CL final then you will qualify for the CL and then if you finish 5th then you will qualify just for the Europa league.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Arthur lucky for you I doubt your games had video replays to show if you were wrong or right by an inch.
You used to stand on the goal line at corners? Thats a ridiculous place for a ref to stand.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Looks like the Hammers are on their way to Wembley...

Damien who do you prefer to stay up you got qpr and bolton
To be fair i would prefer qpr staying up then you got a nice summer sale on there

Excellent news if true. M'Vila is exactly who we need.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

told you

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

;) M'Vila has been rumoured constantly since we went in last season. Different to actually been close to being done.


You did also say the Vertonghen deal was pretty much done but it appears not at the moment ;) That Agent ITK guy is keeping quiet about that one. :D Loads of people asking him about it and he not saying anything. Think he has deleted the Tweets as well.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Javier Perez fell down the stairs so no comments from him too. i hope the Vertonghen move to Tottenham isnt true. people saying game time promised by Tottenham sealed it for him. should be interesting to see what Mr Perez says when he gets on twitter.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Well done the Hammers!! A very convincing victory over 2 legs and plenty of goals to boot. Just hope we don't manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory at Wembley now.
