One more win for us, and you can kiss 2nd place goodbye.

Having said that, you can always moan to uefa to let you straight in, you're good at that.

Well, it might have been yet another crappy season, but at least we did the double over those blue muppets from the poor side of town

Oh, and an absolute wonder goal from Gary Cahill

'Spurs To Launch Legal Bid'

If Tottenham finish in fourth and Arsenal win the Champions Lge (still a possibility after their 1-0 win over Villarreal in the semi-final), Spurs will reportedly go to court to challenge UEFA's decision to give the CL place to the Gunners. Do they have a case?

Typical Arsenal. Even their pitch invaders aren't native to the British Isles

ooh I'm glad I looked it up before posting, i was going to say Accrington Stanley were the founder members of the Football League

- but, reading this

Stanley were not as many believe founder members of the Football League. That honour belongs to Th' Owd Reds, Accrington FC. Founded in 1878, the club played for five seasons in the Football League, but upon relegation to Division Two, opted to withdraw from the League, joining the Lancashire League.

I don't think that they will be moving to Cardiff anytime soon

It's nice to see some lottery money go to a worthy organisation at last

[kronas]

to be honest do a club like the red devils need handouts....ok with glazers i would say....yes

Grimsby still in with a chance of promotion, 1-0 vs Cheltenham, tonight - pressure on Northampton & Leyton Orient, for tomorrow, exciting stuff in League 2
