scouser 4 Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 Not our finest hour, but lets not get carried away. Gerrard didn't do that on purpose, though if he had cared more perhaps it wouldn't have been done. Season end please! Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Berbatov yes. Get the feeling that some of the players are not liking him in the team. He definitely has skills but he just seems to slow things down somehow. Rooney was looking none too pleased at him last night. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 a 4-0 win away from home would've been a great phycho boost for the final game. What a waste. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Quote: Carlo Ancelotti saluted his celebrating Chelsea players and hailed their 2-0 win at Liverpool as the moment the Barclays Premier League title headed for Stamford Bridge. The Chelsea manager emerged from a noisy away dressing room and claimed that, although the race will go to the final Sunday after Manchester United’s 1-0 win at Sunderland, any doubt about the outcome had been removed. Chelsea may still have to beat Wigan at home, but Ancelotti was adamant his players’ party mood was not misplaced. The cheeky bastard. We beat them at home, we can beat them there too. Actually it might only take a draw. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Worth a read in the lul before the storm. Quote: Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed he talked midfield maestro Paul Scholes out of retiring. Scholes has signed a one-year contract extension with Manchester United after initially expressing doubts over whether to continue with his career, which could yet yield him a 10th Premier League title winners medal next week. Recent performances suggest it was the correct move, with Scholes being as influential as any United player in taking Chelsea to the last day of the season to clinch the championship. His last-gasp matchwinner at Manchester City was a throwback to Scholes' halcyon days. And, although Ferguson admitted he needed to twist the 35 year-old's arm, he was not willing to let such ability slip through his fingers. "I did speak to him," Ferguson told United's official magazine Inside United. "He'd intimated that he may retire at the end of the season. "I said, 'I'll decide when you retire.....look, Paul, you can play there's no question of that. Your ability's there, there's no deterioration in your actual play.' "When you get to his age, and the same goes for Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville, there's a deterioration in the physical aspect of it. That's natural. We all face that. But in terms of his ability, there's no deterioration whatsoever. "In fact, Paul's every bit as good, if not even better, because the experience he's added to the ability he's got means he's a big asset to us – as he was against City. He helped to control the match." Ferguson believes United are benefiting from Scholes' decision to focus his energy purely on club matters. Never the greatest traveller, Scholes quit the England scene following Euro 2004 even though he had yet to reach his 30th birthday. Fabio Capello never made any attempt to change the midfielder's mind, knowing it was futile. Steve McClaren tried more than once, but Ferguson never felt that was likely either, knowing it was not a decision Scholes would ever have cause to regret, even if England win the World Cup this summer. "I don't think Paul's the type the feel bitter about that or feel he'd lost something in his life," said Ferguson. "He made his decision based on his family and I think it helped him for the initial couple of years after he retired from the international scene. "But he had a great career at that level. He should have no recriminations because it's allowed him to move his career on here to the extent that we've given him a new contract. "Age always comes into it and Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville and Paul Scholes are not going to last forever. "But they're defying everyone at the moment in terms of their durability and enthusiasm to play. How they've looked after themselves has been critical and a monumental part of why they're still here." Yet, while the international days of Scholes, and Giggs, are behind them, Ferguson still feels Neville could enjoy a glorious autumn to his career in South Africa this summer. "He has got a great chance," said Ferguson. "Fabio has not got a really settled right back. "Wes Brown has been injured for a while and you have got Glen Johnson at Liverpool but Gary Neville's experience, as he showed in the derby against Craig Bellamy makes him the top man at the moment. His form has been fantastic." Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Nice one Spurs "Tottenham Hotspur's Peter Crouch breaks Manchester City's hearts" The fixture was a tough route to the Champions League but Tottenham Hotspur negotiated it with poise and purpose. Victory arrived when Marton Fulop pushed out a Younes Kaboul cross to leave Peter Crouch with a simple header into the net. Manchester City have been denied and the only consolation lies in the wealth that can fund greater progress in the future. For Tottenham this was a pivotal and deeply satisfying moment in their history. This struggle felt more intense than the contest of Chelsea and Manchester United for the title itself. That was to be expected since neither City nor Spurs had taken their place in the European Cup since the 1960s. This match, with its frenetic nature, would still not have been seen as preparation for the more studied games that lie ahead for one of these clubs. Link to post Share on other sites
