And Its in my opinion that the league is getting ruined with all these 'nobody' teams coming and going.

Would be so much better In my opinion if we had Newcastle, Leeds and Spurs in their once dominant positions challenging with the top four. Newcastle getting relegated is bad for the league. You are getting a club with a huge fanbase and stadium going down and a team with no fans and a pathetic stadium coming up.

How about Wigan, they came up only a few years ago and they are big boys now. And look at stoke this season, amazing a new team of relative unknowns has done so well.

To be honest the premiership is as simple as this, if your not good enough you don't survive and I hate to say it but Newcastle just weren't good enough this season. Leeds deserve to be where they are, they played it risky by spending money they didn't have trying to get in chamions league, didn't work out, got into A LOT debt, deserve to be where they are for making silyy decision.

Let's hope Newcastle bounce back though.

I know, Newcastle are not good enough to be in the Premier League. You proved my point there though, Wigan are not big boys. They have a shared stadium that is pretty small, and even then they can't fill it every week. They have some 'unfamous' players but seem to get the results. Its just making the league 'less-glamorous' in my opinion.

Hopefully villa wont lose many good players, we are a rich club, we can afford to pick and choose a bit. I don't know much about Evertons finances, but I imagine it's good too.



I am so so so happy Newcastle went down. They got exactly what they deserved. They should never have got rid of Sam Allardyce. I blame their deluded fans.

Cangrats to Hull and Stoke. Manager of the season was definetly Roy Hodgson, hes done a brilliant job at Fulham. David Moyes, Martin O'neill and Tony Pulis also did fantastic jobs.

Was anyone watching Final Score? Garth Crooks is such a moron.



why is Mr Cooks a moron?

The way he over-reacts to everything. Plus he always talks over the other pundits.

ok then peeps, where do we think Michael Owen will end up?

Everton or Villa would be a good bet imo, both in Europe, so would appeal to him, what do you guys think?

Well, I wouldn't mind him at Everton, that's for sure. We could use him

The thing is, you cant use Michael Owen.

He's always injured

According to wiki, he played 27 EPL matches this season. That's not too bad. Not great either, but still. Of course, it's not a player worth paying €20 mil, but for, say, €5-8 mil it could be a good deal (dunno if Newcastle would sell it for that amount)

Heres my input on everythign happening in the PL...

Guys, why do you still hype up Owen. THE MAN IS TRASH. He is washed up and isnt capable of getting back to what he used to be. Everton ahev a better chance with Darren Bent than Owen. Owen might have been capd 27 times this season, but how many of those apprearnces were 60 minute or 20 minute sub appreances? Think abotu that. He is washed up and is garbage. Should have never left Liverpool.

If Everton want to actually qualify for Europe and not get emabrassed in qualifying (Standard Liege) they need a quality striker that they can rely on for 30 plus games. Saha is good but gets injured to much, Yakubu is meh, Vaughn is beh, and then yoru forced to play Cahill at striker. Get a striekr that can score 20 plus goals and Everton have every chance at breaking teh top four next season.

Aston Villa desperately need defenders. Davies and Knight are both jokes. Its a shame to see a Martin O neil side crumble to bits. As for Newcastle an Borough, GOOD. Newcastle always fire managers prematurely (Big Sam) and this is what they get. Look at what Sam did with Blackburn, Newcastle couldve used that. Newcastle is an overrated club with overrated overpaid players who dont give a shit about the c lub. Owen and Viduka sat there all season long eating, meanwhiel using teh club to get paid 130 000 pounds a weak. That is ridiculous. Collocini the 7 million pound Aregtine international from Depertivo, Castle record signing was a big flop. I cant even fault Given for leaving. Players leaving Newcastle: Owen, Viduka, Jonas, Martins, Butt, Guthrie, Lovenkrands, Collocini.

Borough didnt look like they wanted to play football all season. They looekd like a fking house league team full of 11 year olds except a few of course. Downing and Tuncay will leave. I dunno wtf is wrong with Alves, this guy was scorign left right and center in teh Dutch league and he comes here and flops. Idunno why he went to Borough anyways lulz. Im confident Borough will be back in the BPL next season.

As for Hull and Sunderland, good job I guess. Sunderland looked lost all season with Ricky, and if Roy Keane handt have left they wouldve been better off. Sunderland fans are crazy. They criticize Roy keane for a couple of poor results even though he got their asses to the PL and kept them thier (last time they were in teh PL they finished with 3 wins, Henry outscored their whole team). Hull is a joke. They started off the season well and were similar to Hoffenheim: A promoted team that was full of energy and wanted to prove them selves. Later on someone slapped Hull in teh face and teh yrealised that this was the PL, and tehre are 38 games you have to play. They are winless is 20 orsomething liek that? Thats a joke and tehy literally crawled to teh finish line. Tehy couldnt even get a point agaisnt a weakend Man Utd side... Next season they will be worse than Derby if they dont make any changes.

As for teh top 4.. gj Man Utd on being champions and such. The young oens looked excellent today and what a goal by Gibson. This is United future right here. Arsenal desperatly need a few quality CBS a class CDM and a class striker (Adebayor only scores when balls are handed to him on a plate) Chelsea need to inject youth into their squad and players liek Ballack, Deco, Drogba, Anelka etc need to leave. These players artn working for Chelsea.

Roy hodgson for manager of the year. He took a relegation boudn club to Europe. Brilliant. Tottenham and Man City were big underachievers this year and next year they should be challengeing the top four or at leats a place in Europe. Wigan, Pompey, Blackburn, all did well to escape relegation early. Stoke and a wonderful season. They did what they had to do to win and didnt show off, and thats how promoted teams succeed. They were right to sell Kitson and being in Beattie. He saved them.
