English Football [1st - 5th May 2010] **spoilers**

[Cosimo]

FT: Liverpool 0-2 Chelsea (Drogba 33, Lampard 54) almost home and dry.

 

[Robbo]

Game over, Steven Gerrard is the biggest tool in the world.

 

[Tute]

Pfft, pathetic. They could have at least tried.

Tried? Only thing that looked like it took some effort was the sublime pass from Gerrard to Drogba, shame on him, scumbag.

 

[MofoKilla]

"Tried" they have been trying all season

 

[Psycho Sonny]

The upside of not winning the league is that Fergie and the Board will realise changes need to be made, at the end of the day, the team with the most spending power will (and probably should) win the league.

Arsenal and United will probably be fighting for 3rd place after Man City next season unless something is done, it's really quite stupid all these billionaires buying success, where other teams can't (Not saying it hasn't happened in the past, but its more potent now).

I'm hoping some good signings and such will happen over the summer, nothing too stupid, I can see Man City buying a load of top players for outrageous amounts of money

if thats what man city want to do then its up to them, they should be allowed to buy whoever they want, it will make things more exciting. yes its not good news if your a united, liverpool, arsenal or chelsea supporter, but then you wouldnt be complaing if it happened at your team a la abromovich

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Not surprised by the result or the performance. We were massively outclassed and played 120 minutes of football less than 3 days ago.

 

[Tombstone]

At least the forums anti-liverpool crowd can now return to bitching at Liverpool after that momentary cheering them on period

 

[Tute]

Don't get me wrong, Chelsea played well, but I saw a rather unsurprising lack of effort compared to when United went to Anfield.

Ah well, at least this way SAF can't just say "things are fine, we don't need any new players".

 

[DanH84]

not liverpools fault at all. not a great performance but we should have performed in a few more of our games!

 

[Shamikebab]

Where's Valencia

Exactly, for the majority of the Premier League they've been able to outbid any other English club.

 

[BaZ87]

Not sure if that was a no win situation or no lose. Either way still not sure how to feel.

 

[Cosimo]

The top now looks like this:

 

[BaZ87]

Where's Valencia

Spain.

 

[Tombstone]

Where's Valencia

In spain I believe

*drum riff*

EDIT : bah beaten by seconds !

[Robbo]

Indeed, as I said, the other teams are just going to get better, ours cant simply stay the same.

^ Haha, I like it JohnnyG

 

[Gackt]

Come on Sunderland.

It didn't bother you I bet when it was just united splashing huge figures to lure players away from other clubs. It's not more potent now, infact I'd say it's harder than when United where so much richer than the rest because now there are more billionaires than when united just bought up the big players.

Even when it was United V Arsenal financially there was only one winner.
