We've had to do without Ramsey, Walcott, Wilshere, the ox, Koscielny, Podolski, Cazorla and Ozil at various times and for varying periods, if they'd all been fit we'd have been a match for anyone. Next season should be interesting, and I genuinely believe Suarez will go to Real in the summer. Real are already considering their options as to who to let go to fund the deal. If he does go, Real will be frightening.

Liverpool were certainly helped by not having European distractions. They blew it by losing to Chelsea not the Palace match. I think they need to learn to play more than one way i.e not gung ho all the time. Perhaps that was down to the managers' inexperience in these situations.


I think City are the best all round team and doubt Chelsea would have won it, striker or no striker.


Anyway,it's not actually over yet. Rumours have it Sam is on his way so maybe if the players are so pro him, they will play like it. Imagine if they score first!

It could ve an exciting final day if City are level or behind at half time...


And yes Liverpool have benefited from no Europe but only in terms of their relatively small squad. I don't really buy that Europe has made it harder for the other teams who can field two all star teams.

Interesting story in The Times that Gus Poyet could end up at West Ham. I think he would be a good fit, youngish manager to take the club forward, new era/stadium etc, knows the PL inside out, wants his teams to play attractive football, can even survive a relegation dog fight...what's not to like?

Congrats to City, stylish champions (at least it wasn't Chelsea!).


4th was the target for Liverpool and that didn't look an easy task before a ball was kicked, I'd have bittenr your hand off for it. But it is gutting to know that they were within touching distance.


Oh well.

Boring Quids? ... I don't see the word boring

"Lots of harm done. Nothing cavalier about Man City, a team that slows the game down and scores on the counter attack. Mourinho just handed another title to the most expensive team in the country, something the neutral won't want to see."

Mourinho handed them the title? Really? over the course of the season they accumulated the most points and were deserving winners, at least they didn't have to revert to the special needs penchant of parking the local fleet of buses when they knew they couldn't out play the opposition, and then have the balls to moan when the roles are reversed a la BFS.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
