Obviously Owls, I'm much better at picking winners, than figuring out who's not going to lose at the bottom, which is obviously your forté;)Quote:

Fortunately for your prediction, Sunderland whose neck was already in the noose, had Clint Eastwood on standby to rescue them in miraculous fashion.
Any daycent streams about tonight?

Long off in the second half.
Is that a cricket field position?
Too true, alas.Quote:

Discuss...:)
My first impression is that feeder teams are just like zombies floating about the lower leagues, infecting that league with nothingness, no history, no fan culture, no character and they can't move out of that state.
Would that not describe Shamrock Rovers B team in the LOI Division 1? :D
Bonnie would like the Man City song, ripping the **** out of the Liverpool song about Gerrard.
Steve Gerrard Gerrard
He fell on his effing ar$e
He gave it to Demba Ba
Steve Gerrard Gerrard
That one's an instant classic. United fans were singing it yesterday too - when was the last time you heard United and City fans both singing the same chant?
I liked one I read suggested by a Rovers fan to sing at the Aviva next week:
Blue Moon
You started singing too soon
You won't be singing for long
There's only one Derek Swan
It was a lovely result. Who knew Man City would end up being more likable than Liverpool in this scenario.
So looking like a decent season for Arsenal if they can add the cup to it. Big game for Spurs on Sunday to seal a place in the europa league. If they lose Man U could pip them to it. Is it true if you win the europa league next season you are in the champions league the following season?
It is true. Not much fear of Spurs winning it though.
What happens if by some chance due to FFP reasons, Man City get barred from competing in next season's CL, would the next team in the list (Everton) get in to the CL?
Man City will appeal and get off or a reduced fine. Most likely announced in the middle of the world cup. Not sure about Everton getting in to be honest if it came to it but you would imagine they would.Quote:

Yes, but would Everton get the CL spot? ..... which was the good question :)
I know, I said that was a good question! I have no idea, but don't Everton have an appeal option whereby they can query the any settlement?
Wenger threw in his thoughts this in this morning's Irish Times saying City should not be allowed in the CL, end of. No to the grey areas.
If Everton have an appeal option then that implies they are an interested party in the outcome and would take the 4th CL (play off) place, if Man City drop out.
That would mean Arsenal are also an interested party in the outcome.
Probably the EPL would not lose a CL spot, in the event of an expulsion.
Good point geysir, as it would mean the Arse wouldn't have to play a nasty CL qualifier (x2) as part of pre-season...
That means Stutts is an interested party ......... a stakeholder ..almost.
