its a crazy league, that is now getting increasingly filled with demented nutters.
What kind of league is it where Man City's top ten finish is seen as failure ?
What kind of league is it where a team loses just 3 games all season, yet can't even finish second ??
The Old 1st Div used to be won by teams losing around 8 games, with third place being able to lose 11-12. And now losing just 3 gets you just third place !

Quite - be careful what you wish for and all that.
There was an incredible quote from Sven a couple of weeks ago - the chairman of the Premier League told him Shinawatra was "absolutely clean". Erm, right.
It's not even like the Man City fans are getting the hump with Sven, they love the bloke and don't want him to go. Heard somthing from Noel Gallagher the otehr day who reckons Frank wants Sven out because he's become too popular, and the chairman doesn't like it!
[cite]Posted By: WSS[/cite]If they get Big Phil Scolari as has been touted then I think it's ambition as he is a superior coach in my opinion.
Sven used the "YouTube" method of recruiting and fair enough, it worked at the start but has tailed off. In today's environment i'm not suprised.
After hearing what's happened to Sven and with rumours that Sinatra wants more involvement, including what players City sign, i'd be absolutely amazed that a coach of Scolari's standing would even want the job.

If he goes, it would be an absolute travesty! The chairman has a screw loose!
In the old 1st Division, there was usually 42 games in a season as opposed to 38. I had a flick through a few old Rothmans annuals a while back, & saw a few teams relegated with 46 points across a few seasons. Was it a more balanced league back then?
In terms of relegation, just realised if Reading & Brum fail to take a point this weekend, they will have finished on less points than we did last season.

on the other hand though maybe we should make Thaskin the next Mayor of London ?
frank sinatra told him to get them to mid table this year and they are
he wanted Uefa cup place via league in yr 2 and champions league place in year 3
cukoooooooooooooo
Total and complete madness. Sven has over achieved with an average side. I hope they get what they deserve with a duff manager who takes them down.

England have been awarded an extra UEFA cup place.
Who are in line to receive the place due to Fair Play?
A top 10 finish and a place in the UEFA cup then.

Sorry, went off on a little tangent.
