The Soccer/Football/Calcio Thread

Loving how many people say things like 'we' when it comes to Man Utd, yet probably haven't even set foot inside Manchester, ever.

 

I live 40 miles away and have been plenty of times.




Utd for the Premier League??? Both Chelsea and Utd have a couple of difficult games left.

 

Then you'll be very happy that my team did the double over Man City last night, and i was there.

All that money, all those wingers and strikers and they couldn't put one goal past us in two games !!!

 

Have a go on this !

Mine ends up,

Man Utd 88
Arsenal 86
Chelsea 85

The big games to decide the league and Champions League spots are;

Chelsea vs Villa
Man Utd vs Chelsea
Tottenham vs Arsenal
Villa vs Everton
Man City vs Man Utd
Spurs vs Chelsea
Arsenal vs Man City
Man Utd vs Tottenham
Liverpool vs Chelsea
Man City vs Villa
Man City vs Tottenham

Arsenal have the best run in IMO, then Man Utd.

 

Yeah most likely, Utd v Chelsea is the main decider I think.

 

Arsenal are now out of it due to injuries and not winning at Birmingham.

Rooneys injury has put Chelsea right back in it IMO. Utd struggle to score without him.

A Chelsea win tmrw (which i can see) and i think its theirs to lose !

 

Something I would like to see is Tottenham jump up the rankings. They have games against Chelsea, Arsenal, and United and are not that far back and could EASILY jump up to third or if they get tons of luck 2nd or 1st.

 

Not going to happen.

As you have already pointed out, they still have to play the top 3 teams in the country and they are also still in the FA Cup.

Tottenham have to play and FA Cup semi final and Arsenal and Chelsea within a week. The game after this week, Man Utd, not to mention they have to go away to Man City - one of their rivals for 4th place.

Just not going to happen for Spuds and i see them finishing 6th, Liverpool in 4th, Man City in 5th and then Spuds, Villa and Everton.

In light of recent results, this is how i see it ending.

1) Chelsea
2) Man Utd
3) Arsenal
4) Liverpool
5) Man City
6) Tottenham
7) Villa
8) Everton

 

5-8 is much harder to predict and before the game against Sunderland I felt Spurs were a certainty to seal the 4th spot. I agree with your top 3, Chelsea have only the league to play for and have been looking good recently. Arsenal don't have the depth and with injuries they will finish a distant 3rd IMO.

I'm still going to go out on a limb and say Spurs will seal 4th.

 

So do United now .

 

Didn't see Spurs losing to Portsmouth in the Cup semi and then going on to beat Arsenal and Chelsea in a week. They still have to travel to Man City and Man Utd though.

Liverpool are out of it now !

 

Liverpool have been out of it for a few weeks now. Hopefully hang onto a top 6 (or 7 spot) for UEFA at least. Appalling season. Watch for the mass exodus in the summer. At least Reina is staying on. He might be the only Spaniard there in 6 months.

 

It is still possible just it's extremely unlikely.

 

I'm praying they don't get Europe next season and keep Rafa - perfect scenario for me !!!!

 

Damn it we have to wait another week! Rome wins and keeps their title hopes alive till the last game of the season!

A draw next week would be enough and luckily its against a team coming 2nd last but better not count chickens just yet

Then on to Madrid

 

Haha. Even lawyers have strikes in Italy!

I haven't read too much about it, but it sounds more like sour grapes and nothing will come of it

 

and we win our 18th scudetto

lets party

On to Madrid

I didn't know anybody followed serie a anymore.

 

Yeah C'MON Inter!!

 

well done internazionale

 

good luck next week inter

 

7hrs to go!

I'm pumped

Looks like which ever team wins gets the treble title!

Hopefully its Inter

 

There two big finals for me today, the first is the Championship play-offs this is important because my home town team could end up in the Premier League, and the second is of course the Champions League Final.

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!
