Last Game of the season -MAN UTD/CHELSEA

Leiva

Best of luck today to both MAN UTD & CHELSEA .
May the best team win the title , the table never lies but its a great finish to the season for it to go to the last game .

Also ...

May any team (e.g LIVERPOOL & MAN U ) learn from their mistakes and hopefully rid themselves this summer of the leeches that are bleeding their beloved clubs dry .
Hopefully the 2010/2011 season brings a seachange , has all us devoted supporters looking at only things on the field , and not be concerned about matters off.

Well said man, hopefully United and Liverpool fans here do have something more positive to talk about come the new season than debt and so on.

I hope Chelsea win it and then I'll watch and laugh as the anti-Glazer movement hits an all time high not that it matters at all, they are happy with their lot and are never selling.

What an anti climax . . Wonder if Stoke or Wigan players can sober up for the 4pm kickoffs . .

You really don't have a clue do you?

As I'm in a very patient mood this morning I'll explain it to you.

Stoke currently lie 10th in the table and thats the best spot they can finish in but if Blackburn and Fulham both managed to draw today it would leave Stoke 12th if they lose and the club £1 million lighter in finishing position prize money. As a result I'm sure there is a rather large monetary incentive for all Stoke players to go out and give it one hell of a fight today.

Wigan can finish 14th if things go their way today and 17th if things go against them, thats a £1.5 million difference in prize money and yet again I'm quite sure there is a very nice little incentive bonus for them too. So both sides will be out to do the business you can be sure of that.

Ah . . I dont have a clue eh . .

Ok, lets look at this. . The clubs stand to win an extra million or so depending on their positions at this stage. All bonuses would of been agreed at the start of the season. Considering the bonuses are no more then 1.5mil, its safe to assume that not being relegated was the main bonus payout for these players and any extra bits of money for getting that bit higher (at this stage) will be no more then a weeks wage (if that) . .

Sorry, its you that doesnt have a clue . . Playing for an extra spot in the league at this stage means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to the players as it doesnt net them much in terms of their already inflated salaries . . Unless you are going to suggest that the average modern footballer actually cares about the clubs they play for (try that argument, then we will see who is clueless!) . .

PLaying for a European spot - Yes , Playing for a trophy - Yes , Playing for a nice big bonus - Yes , Playing for a million or so extra for your club (and possibly a couple of thousand into your pocket) - No . .

Yeah the clubs I mentioned are just too dumb to add an incentive at the end of the season tied to finishing position. You keep thinking that.:rolleyes:

Your missing the point . . The players will have their most important bonus's already wrapped up . . Any potential bonus they could win today wouldn't amount to much more then a percentage of their weekly salary . . .

If you start training at the start of July (So really only get 1 month break), get paid 30K+ a week and have achieved most of your goals come start of May, you are gonna take it easy on yourself for an extended break (if it only means losing out a couple of grand). .

Go back to bed or go for a walk and reply later . .

Chelsea to win league handy enough today and draw level with Sheff Wed and Newcastle on 4 league titles in the top division.

Well done Chelsea. The double should follow. Carlo deserves more credit imo.

Hope more than expectation for me today. I will be pleasantly surprised if we walk away with title No.19 today, but I fear a win today over Stoke will be a bit too little too late. Still, having lost 5 games by Christmas and playing Carrick & Fletcher as centre halves, I honestly thought the league wouldve been lost with 3/4 games to go. Anyway, onward and upward.

I know its Wikipedia, but they have Chelsea already down for the 2009-2010 Premier League title... So must come true

"We'll never die" Comes from a Man Utd song "The Red Flag" , started up just after the Munich disaster. It basically means that as a club, no matter what goes wrong we'll always go on. (and on and on and on X infinity )

The Red Flag

United's flag is deepest red,
It shrouded all our Munich dead,
Before their limbs grew stiff and cold,
Their heart's blood dyed it's ev'ry fold.

Then raise United's banner high,
Beneath it's shade we'll live and die,
So keep the faith and never fear,
We'll keep the Red Flag flying here.

We'll never die, we'll never die,
We'll never die, we'll never die,
We'll keep the Red flag flying high,
'Cos Man United will never die

I wouldn't be surprised to see both Chelsea & Utd draw tbh! It's been one of those kind of seasons!

Thankfully, I've resigned myself to come to terms with not winning it this year. I just hope we finish it with a win. If Wigan do us a favour then great!
