    Okay, What a great premiership season!

    Congratulations Man City.

    Thank you for something different and hard luck Liverpool.

    Welcome back Mourinho and thanks for making it "interesting" by being "boring"

    Spurs thanks for showing everyone how to blow £100 million (priceless)

    Man U just thanks for the best laugh I ve had in Years

    Everton (probably my favourite team of the season) except when spanking Arsenal 3-0

    I m a goner and will take 4th ( why not we're used to it now) and a F.A cup (Unlucky Hull you were amazingly scary)
    Blimey, a remarkably balanced and accurate summary of the Premier League. Now let's get back to some blatant tribalism and slagging each other off :D

    The point I want to make is so many top level sports bring in a handicap system to create a level playing field, And I do think its getting a bit too much now with the likes of Man City, Chelsea. Arsenal Liverpool et al, will always have budgets beyond 75% of their league competitors as with P.S.G in France or Barca and Real in Spain and Bayern in Germany so will Financial Fair Play ever work when the punishments for non compliance are mainly financial?
    FFP is a European thing not a Premier league thing - so while the financial penalties hit a team overall, the non-financial sanctions like reduced squad size only bite at the euro level. It's not meant to work in the EPL.

    Look at Henry's Appearances to goals ratio whilst your at it.

    Some achievement for a midfield player to make it into that bracket. A really nice guy, and an intelligent footballer too, which is nice! He'll be missed, well by me he will!

    Apparently Chelsea are going to buy Fabregas to replace him - if that happens, he'll have moved up in the World considerably since the last time he played in the EPL :wink:

    According to Yahoo Blahoo: Aguero requested a transfer, Kolarov is going to Madrid, Fabregas is going to Arsenal if Cazorla gets his way... It's all hocus pocus until the deals are done.

    Let's see then - apparently Arsenal can't afford him.

    Costa is as good as in the bag. Roll on August...

    Mourinho's 2nd spell at Chelski has got damp squib written all over it.

    Not quite as disappointing as Wenger's first spell in charge of Arsenal...

    When the gooners play well, it is the beautiful game. Besides, how many trophies did your lot win last season Bowler hat man?

    Was this you on your way to work this morning?

    They're taking the p1ss (out of you)

    If Liverpool had 2 world class defenders and if they had a world class defensive coach, then they would be in the mix.

    If we had bread we could have bread and butter if we had butter.

    Liverpool finished above Chelsea without any of those. Lambert could prove a very astute buy.

    Looks like Brazil are certain champions if they keep getting decisions like that penalty. Ridiculous, hope Croatia equalise.

    In other news, the Spain - Holland match was a good 'un.

    I think that header by van persie is going to be one of the best goals in the world cup. Robben was on form as well, took his time with it.

    Soooo Suarez, Suarez, Suarez what will we do with you.

    I think theres something wrong with him such as a primitive animal instinct. He just fills up with adrenaline and rages out. Maybe its what makes him good :D I cant think of any other reason other than he doesnt have control. Hmm will we see him next season?

    Just glad he plays for Liverpool, I bet defenders will give him a little bit extra room.

    I love the way he sprinted from about 20 yards away just to bite him.

    For a start, put a muzzle on him - or maybe one of those Hannibal Lecter masks when he's playing :) The UK needs some new legislation to protect defenders wearing blue - maybe they should call it the 'Dangerous Dorks Act' ?
