Just been informed by a friend about City's goalkeeper Stuart Taylor. He won the league with Arsenal playing 10 games and has now won it with City playing 0 games. So that's 2 league titles with 2 clubs playing only 10 games LOL.

Absolutely fucking amazing end to the season. Stuff like that shouldnt be possible in a non scripted form of entertainment, absolutely amazing.
Extra thanks to City for helping bury another laughable loss for us in tomorrow's papers, still putting a tenner on Swansea to go down next season though.
Oh, and I really hope I never see Joey Barton play football ever again.

I can already envisage the comedy from Andy Carroll. At least it means that even though Heskey isn't going we'll be able to keep the donkey chants going. Eeyore! Eeyore!

I'd be realy gutted if i was Peter Crouch. His England recored is great but just doesn't get the reconition. 22 goals in 42 games. It will take Carroll 3 years to score that playing everyweek.

Sorry Spurs ...
Drogba What a fucking guy.
I have no sympathy for Bayern really. How many shots do you need to put a game away? I think they might have added more craters to the moon than they did balls in the net. The more I watch Robben play the less I like him to be honest. I also tend to for some reason take perverse amusement in the "sub off the guy playing the best for a defender and it backfires" thing, the handful of times it happens each season. I understand why coaches do it but when it backfires it tends to do so in spectacular fashion.
Not a particularly great game, but amazing drama. The shot off the post.... wow.
Also, that tosser Cole played so well that I actually wanted him to score his penalty. Crazy.
I can deal with a chelsea win if it comes with a JT loss in court in July.
