I think if any of us had done the whole season we would have a few dodgy ones as well. His predictions are not that terrible, considering he always backs the big teams (who win a lot more than they lose) he will naturally get a lot right. To think man u and man city would only lose 1 game between them all season is a bit silly though, I am not sure that has ever happened in europes top leagues.

Interesting to see Howard Webb has been allocated the Man Utd match this weekend!

A few dodgy ones yeah, but it's a very exaggerated table. The entire bottom half is under 42 points! Liverpool only predicted one loss!

I bet if you looked at the bookies odds over a season and did a league table you would get the same exaggeration top/bottom half as well. The main problem with his predictions seem to be to me that it looks like he makes his mind up about a team before game 1 and has the same opinion to game 38.

Just been reading about players moaning about the Europe League, Wenger backed it up and said it's a good competition etc.

Wouldn't it make sense to put the winners of the Europa into the Champions League the next season? It would transform the worth of the competition instantly and it's hardly like the winners of it are normally sub-standard...

In fact it would also make domestic cups suddenly become a lot more useful as they would open up a route to the top table...

another attempt to change the rules in liverpool's favour?

[strummer77]

I think it's a good competition, we just don't take it seriously over here.

And yes, I reckon it would. I said that to someone a couple of years back. If you're going to have it as the inferior competition, you ought to provide extra motivation to win it once you're in it.

I still don't get how it's dropped in prestige so much since it was the Uefa cup. Is it just because English teams have done better in the Champs in the last 8 years?

[captain futility]

But it certainly wasn't Liverpool changing the rules, it was the FA.

Hylton you worthless ****, fuck off to another club - if anyone will have you. :angry:

Easily the best last day i have ever experienced.

[Sparticus]

Gutted, but fucking hell, as a united fan, that's probably the only thing I've seen eclipse united's win at the nou camp in 99

[lost]

Feel for Bolton, really unlucky with decisions today.

[Benj]

That must go down as the greatest end to a season ever? Bigger than Michael Thomas?

[strummer77]

Nah

Hurting tonight, best team won the league though.

Works going to be full of banter tonight, will take ones medicine.
