Top left and in a bit is that Roy Keane The blond woman half way down, that's got to be a new Kinnear??

Fair play Richards does him a huge favour. Love Balotelli's late entry intl the foray. Almost as if he didn't want tk be upstaged.

Well that went better than we thought. Amazing season very few low points. All we can do is try to improve. Hopefully Pardew will be backed as we need a bigger squad to cope with extra demands next season.

With his track record surely he'll be hammered. 3 for the elbow, at least 3 for booting Aguero and maybe another for the head butt on Kompany, can the FA even do that?

Whilst I do think Bale was overhyped I do think he is on that list of players just below World Class. If he plays well consistently then I think he'll be worthy of the World Class tab. The season in the CL he's played very well and this season he has had hot patches, but World Class players don't have hot patches they are good most of the time. If he did move to Barca unless they changed formation I can't see him playing anywhere other than left back. I suppose left back at Barca would be different responsibilities to that as left back at Spurs.

A dream scenario for me would be us Finish 3rd obviously Spurs 4th with the Heartache of Chelsea winning the CL and Arsenal 5th. That would be great. Arsenal would probably lose RVP would struggle to attract top players to take them to the next level, Harry will be in a big pout, Spurs possibly losing players as well without CL and us hopefully strengthening and helping us be competitive at the top spots in the table more consistently. Arry would be gutted the stupid cunt. Hopefully we can win a cup next season and maybe then the cunt Redknapp will not be known as this amazing coach because there will be another English manager that has matched would he has done. Though I bet if Pardew did win a cup he wouldn't be quite the 'mastermind' Arry was.

How can any set of fans look at Cabaye and say he's shit? And they can't seem to get it into their heads that yes Ben Arfa wasn't exactly top notch at the beginning of the season but the past few months his talent has come through. Surely they must also see why Cisse is being picked in front of Ba. They are harping on that he's only played half a season, well Ba has only been excellent for just over half a season. Cisse and HBA are the biggest reasons why we are still in the hunt for a CL spot. Fucking numpties.

I know Tiote has had a few dodgy games this season (who hasn't? Even Perchy has had a bad game ) but how anyone can look at him and think he's a knacker I don't know. He obviously class but obviously he's no Catts like.

I'm in Liverpool on stag do that night. Could be one hell of a party if the mighty Bayern come through.

Wtf is this shit. Cisse escaping the wrath? Wtf is Ryder on about?

Doubt we'll be on tv?? I would imagine sky would have two Manchesters and ESPN will have the relegation battle. That being said how many televised games will there be?

The two big last games of the season haven't ended well for us. The 12 point season we fluffed against Spurs though Robsons Boro laid down for Man U, then the relegation season it was in our hands and we fluffed again. 3rd time lucky hopefully. Whatever the outcome it's been an excellent season which I am very proud of.

It makes you think are we the only ones that see Simmo as probably the weakest part of our team? If Perch carries on the way he has I don't even think we need Simmo as a backup RB.

Or against Sunderland! You can tell how amazing we have done this season where we actually like Perch, Shola and Raylor Only two getting real stick this season have been Simmo and Obertan, even the Simmo maybe a little on the harsh side???

Be great for him and the club if he can make it, if only indicate to other French players that if you play well enough at Newcastle you'll get picked. I know Cabaye gets in but he did before we signed him. To see Ben Arfa re establish himself as an International will be good. Just hope he doesn't pick up a knock. Imagine him with a decent pre-season behind him?

I remember the atmosphere in the FA cup against Chelsea a number of seasons back, I think its they one where Bridge broke his leg and Jose used all his subs, the atmosphere was electric and the crowd drew an extra 10% out of players if I remember rightly even Kluivert scored? Hope its the same Sunday, but yes if Arsenal fail to win it should be crazy in the stadium.

Yes, prepared to sell a Xabi that had, for the previous two seasons, been off form by his own standards. So bad that Rafa couldn't even get 16 million for him that summer. Still quality though as he has proved for Madrid and Spain, even though Barry has been valuable to Man City I would have taken Xabi any day over him. That being said maybe Xabi was off form due to his want to go back to Spain???

I was about to switch tabs and complain about Cissé wasting possession with a daft shot then it went in and I just started mashing my face off the keyboard. I probably would have been jumping around my living room shouting Papiss Demba Cisse at the top of my voice (my trademark celebration when he scores) wake my little boy up, Mrs Tisd going fucking ape at me and then having to explain to the little one that I'm not shouting at mummy FFS. I typed in this thread when I found out it was 2-0 totally oblivious to how good the goals were, then I seen all the other reactions checked it out on ESPN app and was speechless for a bit.

On another note, to think Benitez was prepared to sell Xabi a season earlier and replace him with Gareth Barry!

Motty and his cup of coffee like. That tea boy looked like he had good technique, maybe Carr can scout him, the current tea lady is getting on a bit Claridge I wish I didn't know that Cisse's goal was a wonder strike. I couldnt imagine what I would be like watching that live and not know what was coming up.

Colo was strong the season before but for me this season has really stood out as his best. His leadership responsibilities seem to have pushed him on another level, so I can understand where he's coming from.

A very fair article there, the only possible gripe is injuries and no mention of ACON.

Someone has a shit load of time on their hands.
