if chelsea are still in with a title bid then liverpool are still CL contenders tbfh
if we beat chelski on sun we have a chance

Agreed, a long shot but it would be viable. Wins against City, Spuds and Arsenal would be vital also.

It is a long shot, the most I can say about Chelsea this season is we will be having a big hand in deciding who does win it.

 

[Raven]

Hmm, anyone notice Fast vanishes when City drop points? Oh how them finishing in 5th would make me laugh.

I couldn't give a toss about who wins the Prem, so long as Shitty don't make top 4!

 

[Everz]

Zubar, go diaf you useless ****. What the hell was going through his mind? Hennesseys reaction did make me laugh though, looked like he was about to go and lamp two shades of shit out of him haha.

That was the mistake that sent us down. Well done you absolute bellend. Nicely done however, it's the price needed to be paid for these muppets buying players in our strongest positions rather then strengthening our pisspoor back four.

Fuming wasn't the half of it last night lol, gf thought I was going to go on a killing spree :|. A solid point was in the bag..

Bring me May so this shit can just end .

 

[Everz]

To give a respect, I wouldn't be as bothered if we did go down. Baggies/Blues had to yo-yo for years to be able to get the clout to stay up, the only thing is that I doubt our ability to keep ahold of true prem quality players, such as Jarvis, if we did go down.

A johnny-come-lately no doubt.

 

[Everz]

Now I've ranted, watch us beat yoounited 2-0..

 

[Vasconcelos]

and Yose took his Vespa and off to the Cup final!

:lol:

 

[Corran]

That was the mistake that sent us down. Well done you absolute bellend.

tbh if that was the truth then there something seriously wrong.
One mistake cant decide a whole season. Either you too shit, or had multiple mistakes that means you not good enough to retain in the league or you stay up.

one match, and one mistake doesnt make a season. Just like if Man Utd lose the league, it isnt due to any single mistake but due to the fact they were ineffective and not winning their away games!

:lol:

That is quality

 

[Ch3tan]

BBC Sport - Football - Arsenal keeper Lukasz Fabianski out for rest of season

Mark my words, Almunia will ruin any chance of Arsenal winning the league or pushing it all the way if he is allowed to play.

also... LOL: From a Harry interview
"As for Pienaar... the other South African [Bongani Khumalo] thought his head was the ball and knocked him unconscious in training."

Was just checking the Serie A table as I heard Juventus where in a free fall. And noticed they got two Uefa league qualification positions, and so does La Liga. How come Premier League doesn't? Is PL ranked lower or something?

 

[Vladamir]

PL has three Europa league entrants - 1 from 5th place, one from winning the FA cup, and one from winning the League cup.

Ah, so Serie A and La Liga has 3 aswell I guess then? But have divided them differently? (only 1 to a cup and 2 to the league?) Thanks

 

[Ormorof]

UK, Spain and Germany get 4 CL places, 3 Europa League places

Italy, France and Portugal get 3 CL places, 3 Europa League places

English league uses its 3 Europa League places - 1 from Prem, 1 from FA cup, 1 from League cup

the other leagues (spain and italy) only have one euro qualifier cup and so have 2 from their leagues qualify.

edit: damn too slow

5th place automatically gets you into europe , our other 2 spots are used in both our cup competitions.

If the winners of the FA Cup are in the top 5 , the runners up get the spot but if the winners are in the top 5 of the Carling Cup the spot goes to 6th in the league.

Not sure of what happens if both the Fa Cup finalists are in the top 5 , think it goes to league placings then aswell.

Nm , was too slow aswell

 

[Ormorof]

if both finalist of FA cup are in europe already does it not then go to next non-euro qualifier in the league? seem to remember a 7th placed Liverpool qualifying for Europa League last season from 7th place?

or was that because of some other (possibly both carling cup winners already being in europe? i dont know it gets complicated)

Portugal only 2 places in CL afaik.

 

[Ormorof]

hmm that seems correct hehe i was looking at current rankings, so, if the rankings stay as they are until end of season, then portugal will eventually have 3 (and denmark 2 woop woop )

Wrong way round, Germany now have 3 and Italy have 4 - it would've been the other way had Bayern beat Inter in the CL final.


In other news The Premier League official website has an interesting poll:

 

[megadave]

There's a fairplay place up for grabs isn't there? Didn't Fulham get in that way under Hodgson?

sunday surely has to be the answer xD

 

[JingleBells]

The fairplay place only comes in to affect provided England finish in the top 3 in the overall fair play league. Currently that's Norway, England and Sweden

Fulham are currently 2nd in the English fairplay table behind Chelsea so could be in Europe unless Chelsea fail hillariously

 

[Ch3tan]

You what now? chelski are top of the fair play league, even with Terry in their team?

 

[leviathane]

needs to be updated imo xD

 

[Cerb]

Yeah! Arsne "only other teams commit fouls" Wenger must be disgusted!

 

[cHodAX]

It is a long shot, the most I can say about Chelsea this season is we will be having a big hand in deciding who does win it.

Nah I think it will be you and us again at the death, Arsenal will be close too and City will fall away.

 

[Keitanz]

Quite a few games left yet though, anything can happen.

My prediction for the table at the end of the season is this though..

Arsenal
Man Utd (same points as Arsenal but Wayne Rooney scores a 92nd minute own goal on Man Utd's last game to hand the win to Blackpool)
Man City
Chelsea
Sunderland
Liverpool
Spurs
