First topic message reminder :

As you were...

by GSC Sun 05 May 2013, 6:30 pm

Top 4 finish (probably), Europa League finalists, FA and League Cup Semi Finalists.

Arrived too late to do anything about the CL failure.

Don't think theres a lot I'd enjoy much more in football than Rafa winning the CL with Real while Chelsea fall flat under Mourinho.

by Guest Sun 05 May 2013, 6:34 pm

I can see Mourinho being an instant success or a total flop.

How would you rate his Madrid tenure G? I'd give it a B

by GSC Sun 05 May 2013, 6:36 pm

2 aims.

1. Reel in Barca
2. Make Madrid a European force again.

I'd say he accomplished both. Didn't win the big one, but came pretty close.

by The Special Juan Sun 05 May 2013, 7:06 pm

What can I say about Rafael? He's having his best ever season but does something stupid like that and proves that he's still a liability these days.

by GSC Sun 05 May 2013, 11:09 pm

Luiz overacting, but Rafael can't kick out. Dumb really but looks like he'll miss next seasons opener for a stupid action in a meaningless game.

by GSC Sun 05 May 2013, 11:10 pm

United look on their holidays, Chelsea look very leggy.

by JamesLincs Mon 06 May 2013, 1:14 am

chelsea 0-0 spurs again anyone?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 06 May 2013, 1:08 pm

Think this one tweet probably sums up QPR...

@Joey7Barton Do you want rechange your seat with me ? #QPR #OM

by Guest Mon 06 May 2013, 1:13 pm

Mbia is an all round tool by the looks of things.

This is the guy that thought he was joining Glasgow Rangers. Nuff said.

by GSC Mon 06 May 2013, 1:15 pm

Hes never acted out during his time on my ultimate team squad. Think his reputation is undeserved.

by GSC Mon 06 May 2013, 1:18 pm

Now Walcott, a guy who decided not to attend training sessions after being transfer listed, seems to escape a lot of flak.

Wasn't aware of this. Walcott is a tool too.

I'd probably say he has.

A few Chelsea fans were talking about this on twitter yesterday morning. I said I've warmed to him and don't mind him anymore but I don't want him back. He said he's leaving and he better leave. I stopped slagging him off around the end of February after the dust had settled on the League Cup semi disaster.

Stephane Mbia ‏@StephaneMbia
No it was not a joke i delette my tweet on pressure. I want speak with #qpr but they don't want. So... #qpr #om

Stephane Mbia ‏@StephaneMbia
So... Seriously @Joey7Barton do you want rechange your seat with me ? #qpr #om .

What an absolute tw*t

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 06 May 2013, 4:32 pm

Sounds like a man frustrated. Problem with twitter, gives a man an avenue to vent before he thinks to an audience of people who have no sympathy. I still think Odemwingie came across as reasonably justified after reading through all his tweets. Still men these people, just cos they are playing for Premier League teams doesnt mean they wont react to things like a normal man. Anger and a bit of petulance. Probably got lured over with the promise of a growing club and has seen a complete shambles of a place.

You got a link to this story?

by GSC Mon 06 May 2013, 4:37 pm

I decided to issue an official warning rather than fine the player

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 06 May 2013, 8:09 pm

Get in there Stoke!

by Guest Mon 06 May 2013, 8:11 pm

Goal of the season contender right there.

by GSC Mon 06 May 2013, 8:23 pm

Goal of Stokes season maybe

by GSC Mon 06 May 2013, 8:26 pm

And by that I mean the only goal

by Guest Mon 06 May 2013, 8:34 pm

What a ridiculous looking attempt at winning a ball.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 06 May 2013, 8:38 pm

Incredibly silly tackle. I mean, just stay on your feet man.

So Gardner joins Sessegnon in being suspended for the rest of the season.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 06 May 2013, 9:04 pm

Please Dean Whitehead, do not get yourself sent off

by **Crimey** Mon 06 May 2013, 9:13 pm

I think Newcastle and Sunderland could be my favourites for relegation. If Wigan beat Swansea, I think they can stay up, the Villa-Wigan game might be a matter of a point being better for both of them, which would be a nightmare for Newcastle, Sunderland and Norwich as well.

by Lumbering_Jack Mon 06 May 2013, 9:16 pm

I think we will going down. Pardew has got us playing some of the worst football I have seen since the relegation season. All the French players in our team look clueless. Tiote is in pretty bad form too.

by Guest Mon 06 May 2013, 9:19 pm

Luckily for your lot Jack it's QPR next.

by Guest Mon 06 May 2013, 9:21 pm

Game on.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 06 May 2013, 9:22 pm

COME ON STOKE!

by Lumbering_Jack Mon 06 May 2013, 9:24 pm

Freek - we've only won away once this season. I actually think we'll get beat down there.

If we stay up it'll be because of other teams failing to take advantage of our shocking form, rather than us winning games.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 06 May 2013, 9:42 pm

Stoke are actually playing for a point.

Despite being 1-0 up against 10 men.

My god

by GSC Mon 06 May 2013, 9:46 pm

Stoke are settling for a point that takes them to 41 and 6 points clear of danger?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 06 May 2013, 9:50 pm

Against 10 men, when they were leading.

You can't tell me as a Stoke fan you'd be happy with this.

by GSC Mon 06 May 2013, 9:50 pm

I mean yeah. they probably should've closed this out, but a point takes them to within a Wigan loss of safety

by GSC Mon 06 May 2013, 9:50 pm

I'm happy with survival.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 06 May 2013, 9:53 pm

I think you'll do well to find a Stoke fan who is even remotely satisfied with what has happened on that pitch tonight.

by GSC Mon 06 May 2013, 10:01 pm

If it's the point that takes them clear I doubt they'll care.

by **Crimey** Mon 06 May 2013, 10:03 pm

Sunderland will probably see that as a point gained rather than two points lost considering their situation at half time. Right now it doesn't seem great or do them a great deal of good, but could be the point that keeps them up.

by GSC Mon 06 May 2013, 10:08 pm

It takes them above Newcastle and Norwich. Every point you get counts

by Guest Mon 06 May 2013, 10:13 pm

Is the Chelsea v Spurs match on the box Wednesday?

by Amy Mon 06 May 2013, 10:14 pm

yes it is freek

by Guest Mon 06 May 2013, 10:16 pm

Magic. Cheers Amy

Fancy Chelsea to win that.

by GSC Mon 06 May 2013, 11:17 pm

So Chelsea can just about put the top 4 places to bed if they beat Spurs.

Hasn't been a vintage PL season

Good lad Michael

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 07 May 2013, 7:07 pm

Right im gonna lay my cards on the table.

If Wigan win/draw tonight, I think Sunderland will go down on 38 points.
If Wigan lose tonight I see them going down on goal difference on 38 points.

I dont think Sunderland will get another point all season. I think Norwich/Newcastle can scrape something this weekend

by JamesLincs Tue 07 May 2013, 7:22 pm

wigan tonight! id be really firing them up for this game, swansea are for the taking and will have very little interest plus their top scorer is inj

by JamesLincs Tue 07 May 2013, 7:36 pm

id be interested to see the thread with who i predicted for the drop at the start of the season. i think norwich and reading were two pics and villa was my suprise bet

by Guest Tue 07 May 2013, 7:50 pm

I'm scared right now.

by **Crimey** Tue 07 May 2013, 7:55 pm

Wigan are playing very nervously.

by Fernando Tue 07 May 2013, 8:32 pm

Wigan take the lead through Espinoza in added time of injury time

Bad times for Norwich/Newcastle
