They certainly play some lovely football and are one of the better footballing sides in the premiership.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
Yes l know the title is between the two Manchester clubs but a champions league spot would be a lovely compensation at the end of the season and as for Glenn Johnson l always find that he is better going forward then going backwards.

Quote:
The Scottish Premier League has agreed a television deal with Sky Sports and ESPN which will run until the end of the 2016-17 season. They will pay a combined £80m to continue to screen 30 live SPL matches each per season. The figure represents an increase of £3m a year on the existing broadcast agreement due to end in 2014.
|
Quote:
The SPL had considered not extending its TV contracts beyond this season, which it was entitled to do due to a break clause in the existing deal which runs to the summer of 2014. Had it done so, the SPL could have established its own, standalone pay-per-view channel.
|
Quote:
"Against the global economic context, where rights values are down, Sky and ESPN were willing to bid more for a product they were already contracted to for another two and a half years."

Re: Football Season 2011/12
The Sky and ESPN deal is fine, BUT as long as it is not the Old Firm games all the time.
There are more clubs in the SPL than Celtic and Rangers, and l know that these games are big draws, but other clubs need the finance, and Celtic and Rangers have more money than the rest of the SPL put together.
Maybe now, Sky and ESPN can go further by showing Blue Square games, and yes l know that these games are shown by Premier Sports, but you cannot get them on Virgin Media can you.

Read that Harry Redknapp firmly believes that Tottenham can win the Premier League THIS season.
Being a big Spurs fan, l think his heart problem needs looking at again, there is no way they can over take United or City with the squad that Spurs have.
What Spurs need is Constant goals from out top strikers and we are not getting that, I will be happy to settle with Champions League, maybe next season for top slot, we are doing great this season, but don't forget, we can easily lose Harry to the England job - but will Harry's wife allow him to take all that crap from the FA.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
Man City now need to better Napoli's result in the last game to qualify. Might be a hard ask when you consider City are playing Munich. Although Napoli's trip to Villarreal isn't easy despite the spanish side not gaining a single point thus far. If Napoli do win then City are out no matter what.
United lose against Basel away then they are out too. Less likely to happen however. A draw or win puts them into the last 16 but if Benfica get a better or match United's result then United will be second - quite likely as Benfica have the easiest game in the group to come.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
Yes l have been a bit disappointed with the defending of the English sides in the PL this season and they have defended nearly as poorly in the CL as well.

Not only that but Arsenal have already won their group. All other English sides have both a fight to stay in and in the case of United and Chelsea they need results elsewhere to go their way if they want to win the group.
