English Premier League

Congrats to chelsea on winning the league. Manchester will be back next year with a strong team. We need one good forward berbatoz is trash. Who does everyone have winning the world cup?

Congrats Chelsea! I think that if Arsenal keeps everyone and just adds a few more quality players then we might be considered favorites next year.

Right now I have Brazil and Germany as favorites to win the World Cup. But I'll be rooting for France and Holland to win it. Can't wait for the England-US game in the first round it should be a good game.

my condolences to any pompey fans
unlucky
i hope you dont get deducted points next season too
doesnt help out with bankruptcy when they keep stopping the teams progressions
if it wasnt for the points deductions theyd have stayed up and be better off with a larger sum of money, instead theyve gone down and are now in an even worse position
feel sorry for the players and the fans
unlucky indeed
goodluck wherever you go

Portsmouth would've been relegated with or without the 9-point deduction and, although the whole business of docking clubs points is dubious at best, (the Football League are even worse - doling out seemingly arbitary deductions at the drop of a hat) the people who run football have to take some of the blame for allowing clubs to get into this kind of mess in the first place.

Not to mention the fact that they'll let just about anybody buy a club as well. If they'd looked a bit closer at some of Portsmouth's previous owners maybe none of this would've happened.

Two weekends into the new season, with tons of goals being scored - there have been four 6-0 results already (Newcastle's 6-0 win over Aston Villa was a big shock) - and no one has kick started this thread back to life.

Maybe everyone is turned off by England's performance in South Africa or by the ?130M+ spent on transfer fees by Man-moneybags-chester City.

I'd like to see Blackpool avoid relegation this season.

Seven matches into the new season and the table is starting to look a bit predictable:

1st Chelsea
2nd Man City
3rd Man Utd
4th Arsenal
5th Tottenham
....
18th Liverpool

Losing 2-1 at home today to Blackpool. Only one win so far this season.

What the is going on at Anfield? Can it all be blamed on the unliked owners?

How long will Roy Hodgson keep his job as Liverpool's manager? I bet he wishes he'd stayed at Fulham.

Good news for Liverpool basically. A lot of supporters will still be slightly anxious about having American owners after Gillette and Hicks, but you can't tar a nation with one brush. Henry seems well loved in the states. If the NESV reduce the debt and get rid of Hicks and Gillette that will be good enough. I hope they can provide a bit of money for the transfer kitty, but we will have to wait and see.

I'm a Manchester City fan and I still don't think Rooney will leave United.
I think he was orginally just trying to get a huge contract but it got out of hand and now it is a very awkward situation.

Chelsea is his most likely destination.
