Really see any of the top 6-8 going after them? Maybe Lee, but he was pretty poor this year. I can see them in the EPL but not top 8

Just wow

I would add N'Zonzi to the list for Blackburn. If Wenger misses out on M'Vila and Biglia, he would probably make a push to bring N'Zonzi to the Emirates.

espn3.com has it on replay.

Excellent!

Lee was out for the season, so there is definitely a risk, but same could be said for Holden.

I don't really see anyone other than Hoilett playing for a top 8 team, but Lee and Jarvis might have the best chance because of their nationalities.

Gutted for United (mostly because I hate City), but I'm also disappointed that I'm going to have to root against Chelsea in the Champions League final so my Spurs can make next season's campaign. I always pull for the English side when push comes to shove, but if Chelsea winning means no CL football next season... I can't. It's a shame West Brom couldn't keep their lead.

Completely forgot about him, can actually see Wenger go for him.

Even when they were healthy I don't think they were for top 8, I really like Holden moreso than Lee he had a good run of form a couple of years ago and injuries has slowed him down since whereas Holden was really good for Bolton and could see Liverpool go after them because they always go for these mediocre/good players, maybe Newcastle and Everton as well. But that's a HUGE maybe, I wouldn't bet on them moving to those clubs.

Liverpool likes mediocre players, so you never know.

Morten Gamst Pedersen, could be a good signing for a mid table team and yeah Paul Robinson should play in the premier league.

They didn't really celebrate, but it was still epic:

Nasri: "I hope #AFC fans can get on with their lives and forget me, they should celebrate finishing 3rd and I'll focus on winning titles."

I don't understand the United players celebrating bit. Fergie was waving to the away fans and telling the players to do the same. They do that at the end of every season win or lose.

The guys didn't know the result till the end except judging from the fans' reactions.

What a dick. I hope he breaks a leg at the Euros.

I didn't see United celebrating. I did see the look on Fergie's face though which was fantastic.

God, Bolton got screwed by the ref, didn't they?

And of course it was Chris Foy

I was at work for the games. Got home and watched City/QPR, even though I knew City pulled it off. Still one of the most terrific finishes I've seen from any sport, ever. The reaction from the crowd as soon as Aguero put it in was priceless. Fergie's face was priceless. Great season.

at the :30 seconds or so point aguero talks about qpr maybe easing up after they realized the result of the bolton game. someone else already pointed it out it just seemed so surreal they were just letting city attack them and they would easily give back possession.

I still don't see what's so surreal about it. They were a man down. They just tried to pack everyone behind the ball and defend. It didn't work. :dontknow:

Post #1100 » by **5DOM** » Mon May 14, 2012 1:51 am

Yeah. They've been doing that for the entire game, and it just didn't work one extra time.
