Well done Man U, you deserve the title and I hope you go on and win the CL.

Chelsea did well to get this close seeing how they were 15 points adrift a month ago, but that horror spell in the middle of the season stuffed them.

Funny season this one, no team really look the goods but Man U was the better team.

Hope our coach stays around for another crack at it

[R3DM@N]

United flail closer to not-losing title
09-05-11

MANCHESTER United can nearly claim to be the least incompetent team of the year.

In a campaign that has seen massive errors ranging from Blackpool's decision to treat defending as the equivalent of bribing a referee to Liverpool's decision to start the season three weeks ago, United have consistently managed to avoid being eye-wateringly useless more often than anybody else.

Manager Sir Alex Ferguson said: "There's still the possibility I could decide to sell all our players to a dog food factory but I don't even think picking Owen for the last two games will be enough to completely Benitez this one down the cludgie.

"It's been a long slog of getting beat by a Wolves side that look like a skip full of limbs and dragging Rooney away from challenging rows D to M to a bottle fight every five minutes.

"But the lads have been tremendous all season, in a brand new definition of that word I've just come up with that's basically synonymous with the liquid you find in the bottom of your wheelie bin."

If they continue their less-awful streak until the end of the season, United will be presented with the FA's first Default Premiership Cup, a one-fifth size replica of the proper trophy made from cardboard covered in tinfoil.

The record books will also reflect the mediocrity of their achievement by listing them as having won 18.3 titles, using the same scale that calculates SPL titles as being equivalent to .15 real league titles.

Meanwhile, Avram Grant has reaffirmed his conviction that if West Ham continue to play so badly they will somehow slingshot around the sun and wind up topping the league.

fuck you spurs

for your failure today your gonna get your asses kicked at anfield

DU DU DU DU DU DU DU LUIS SUAREZ!!

[Spork]

Haha nice chant.

I went to the pub with a couple of mates to watch the City game. Boring as shit first half. Spurs were crap throughout with a few patches of just shit not crap in the second.

One great save from Hart, a decent chance for Viera and that is the whole of the game. Thank fuck I support Arsenal, even in the tougher times they are better to watch.

[maorifulla]

yeah at least arsenal dont park the fuckin bus infront of goal

man citeh suck

they will have one year in CL then they can GTFO

[Wandarah]

Fuck, completely forgot it was even on. But then, I couldn't give a shit ANYMORE I WANT THE END THE SWEET RELEASE TO FIND ME. Yae, and even unto me, give tales in excess regarding transfers, rape and pillage.

[R3DM@N]

Mean chant Maori!

[maorifulla]

fark I hope we sign Ashley Young over the summer

we need wingers

but i think he would link nicely with Suarez

[R3DM@N]

Ashley Young is fantastic!

[Wandarah]

o_O

He's ok.

[Spork]

Yea, if he was decent enough Villa would still be doing well.

[Spork]

Then one for the mighty Arsenal.

[maorifulla]

that liverpool one was a pretty good summary of our season

great to see the back of that useless prick torres and thank god we sent Roy on his way

looking forward to next season, go nothing to look forward to in terms of football now

Arsenal video had an error

 Yea, tell me about it. The error of us never winning so there's nothing good to show.

More seriously, the guy was copping a lot of shit for the video as everyone thought he was 'trolling' but all he wanted to show was the shocking season Arsenal have gone through.

The Eastlands boss said: "We were fantastic. I can say only that I'm very happy for all the supporters. After supporting us for a whole fourty five minutes they deserve to win this trophy. Too bad they are all glory hunting pricks so they will soon get over us and jump across the city to Old Toilet."

[maorifulla]

fuckin spurs

oh well i suppose we can focus more on the league next year with no european football

[Wandarah]

Liverpool: Even a loss, is a win.

[LeadCollector]

^Lol.... We should beat Villa, Tottenham will lose to the brummies and Liverpool will go through to the league nobody cares about!

At least we have Kenny for the next 3 years which for me more than makes up for losing to Tottenham

[Spork]

No idea who the hell those blokes walking around the Emirates in red and white were last night, but I sense a conspiracy.

Cesc, Nasri, Djourou and one or two others just mysteriously get injured toward the end of the season when nothing counts.

I reckon A Dubs is trying something sneaky to win a few loose bets.

No comment on the game, except that the fans chanted about '6% your having a laugh' (at the increase in ticket prices after such an abysmal season) louder than they have cheered since beating Barca.

Cracker

I felt very much the same as this guy.
