Moneyball won't win the Premiership 2012-13

Could've killed Szczesney there, what a hypocrite

Sympathies to rtc and ithappens but it sounds like you'll at least be happy to be put out of your misery at this stage?

oh yeah no worries we were basically relegated months ago, effectively relegated v villa, really really relegated v wigan

fell asleep watching today fwiw, slept like a baby

oh look peno

Fucking hell, he flagged that up about five seconds in advance

GET IN! Love it

No Adebayor celebration though

I've never cheered a Van Persie goal before. Now I feel all dirty.

Harry Redknapp leapt to the defence of Jose Bosingwa after QPR’s relegation was confirmed at Reading.

The 0-0 draw sealed both clubs’ drop to the Championship and television footage showed Bosingwa laughing as he made his way towards the players’ tunnel after the final whistle.

But Rangers boss Redknapp, who was also seen laughing, said: “He wasn’t laughing about the result or getting relegated.

“To start throwing that one about is completely out of order. He was only laughing because one of their players – another foreign lad – came up and said something to him.”

another foreign lad

Joseph Barton ‏@Joey7Barton 1h
Gutted for the club. To many wankers amongst the playing staff. All brought in by Hughes. Some good lads but not enough. Too many maggots

Redknapp managing expectations

We need more good lads in here
We need more good lads in here
There's too many maggots, too many many maggots
There's too many maggots, too many many maggots

Barton Better Know.

Hair of the dog? Reckon United had a swift pint at half-time and feel alright again.

Official #PFA Team Of The Year: De Gea, Zabeleta, Vertonghen, Ferdinand, Baines; Mata, Carrick, Hazard, Bale; van Persie, Suàrez.

De Gea, eh?

balance!

Who's been better than De Gea? Those look like pretty solid choices to me, though I'd probably question Ferdinand.

De Gea's the best keeper in the league by a distance, only Lloris is close imo; it's revealing that his peers think so too. Maybe he'd make a writers'/critics'/punters' poll, but i wouldn't necessarily expect it.

Cech's come back tbf

Kicking the ballboy was all-time, but Hazard making it into these things ahead of Michu is a joke really

Has Carrick really been all that? I never noticed he was supposed to be having a particularly good year 'til he got nominated for this, and I'm still none the wiser.

It's hard to believe he's not Scholes

most forward passes in Europe iirc

if you want an XI that can take on its La Liga equivalent you probably want Y Toure in for Hazard, and an entirely different (and possibly hypothetical) defence

A mob besiege chez Klata

stats aside though, this has been his best season by a distance for Utd

Bale has won both awards allegedly

Call off your mob, I don't want to catch something

Miguel Delaney ‏@MiguelDelaney 17m
Bale references how he "used to play on the wing" as quizzed by MC @DavidJonesSky

Kicking the ballboy was all-time, but Hazard making it into these things ahead of Michu is a joke really

Michu was a first-half-of-the-season kinda player, his (admittedly very strong) form fell off markedly in the second half of the season. Hazard's been consistently excellent from what I've seen.

Eh, what's gone on at the PFA dinner? Suarez booed, Reginald Hunter booed, apologies all round.

Liberal use of the N-word by R. Hunter apparently. The fact that he isn't funny is more offensive imo.

he was saying negrito tbf

fuckin hell man matt lowton

GET INVOLVED
Tom Seagrim: "Matthew Lowton has to up there for signing of the season. Played every game and is pure class."

If I were to die right this second etc.

Just broke my knuckles on the ceiling

How's ur goal difference looking, Newcastle?

Awes

disappointed to discover that we still need 3 more to go above Newcastle*

*this game will finish level

The fuck outta here with that pessimism, if nothing else we can take confidence from how shit this Sunderland side are. Wins against Newcastlol and an Everton side who are actively trying not to qualify for Europe this year don't mean shit if you take this sort of pasting from Bentekkers and the Boy Scouts.

fullbacks bombing forward at 4-1 up

bullshit red

nah on the real this is some profoundly sexy stuff, love watching Benteke take the objectively wrong direction then just alternately flit and barge past the three defenders he's turned towards

harsh red given what the ref's let go earlier, he's been all over the place

Woof!

best day of my life

man if Wigan had won, Newcastle would be in the absolute shit right now

Carlos Cuellar unpunished handball scandal!

NOW HE'S A DICK

Judging by the rest of his performance he did it with the best of intentions though
