Just 3 points in the top 3 with 5 games to go. Could be anyones still. I'm sure there will be some drama left, lets hope so. If it's goal difference Chelea and United have the edge.

 

Looking difficult for Liverpool to get 4th now.

Sir Alex Ferguson could spring the surprise of the season by including Wayne Rooney in his plans for the Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich on Wednesday.

The Manchester United manager said Rooney would be sidelined for ‘two or three weeks’ after suffering ankle ligament damage in last Tuesday’s 2-1 first leg defeat in Munich.

But Rooney has responded well to intensive treatment and, according to sources close to the England striker, is considered to be ‘moving closer’ to a return.


Hmmmmm.

Bollocks or not? Would Stevie G move this summer?

I heard he wants a close move to Wigan.

IT was the moment that may have broken the camel's back as far as Steven Gerrard's Liverpool love affair is concerned.

 

The look of dismay on the skipper's face when Rafa Benitez inexplicably substituted Fernando Torres with 25 minutes to go in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Birmingham said it all.

 

For the first time since he broke into the first team 11 years ago, Stevie G looked like he wants out of Liverpool.

 

And, with the way things are at Anfield right now, who could blame him?

Aye, been a good season for the Toon. Even if it is the fizzy pop. They'll go up with worse players than the ones they went down with, but it's all about team spirit. They managed it in that deckchair strip as well!

 

Spurs fixtures look too hard to me, so I think Liverpool still have a chance for fourth. Its them or Citeh. Dunno if it was Birmingham tiring, but the Scousers looked better with Torres off.

 

Burnley were well unlucky with Bolton poaching Coyle, but Laws was a suicidal appointment. There must have been someone better than him. Getting back to fixtures though, but Burnley are a great example of how the order of them can matter.

 

Burnley early season, full team, full of running

Burnley 1 ManYoo 0

Late season, zero confidence, squad probably wearing thin, manager already gone

Burnley 1 Citeh 6

 

It was the same with Hull the previous season. They got fifteen points from their last twenty-six games. That was after beating the likes of Arsenal.

Hats off to Messi. Astounding performance clap

 

Would have liked to see the real Arsenal squad play with the likes of Fabregas, Arshavin, Gallas, etc. However, that's the way football goes. If you don't have depth, you won't win.

BURNLEY midfielder Kevin McDonald needed a tonic after being subbed at half-time against Manchester City.
So he watched the second half on telly in a boozer!

The Scot, 21, found himself one of under-fire boss Brian Laws' scapegoats last Saturday as the red-faced Clarets went 5-0 down by the break.

But instead of hanging around to see if his team-mates could restore some pride, he headed straight for the nearby KSC 110 club.

Drinkers were amazed when the ex-Dundee star walked in with his family and watched the remainder of the live coverage of the match with them.
