Arsenal with a 3rd place finish. Given the start of our season, I am over the moon. My posts from the start clearly state the depression of the beginning games, I was convinced we were getting relegated.

What a finish to the season. Honestly I don't know what would have happened if City didn't win although there'd be lots of :lol: for sure.

All I can contribute is this:

Phew - well you will get this, even in the last minute of the season.

I am waiting for 'Match of the Day' right now, worth the licence fee alone!

So you should be! Well done to the Gunners, now Pat Rice has left, maybe they will get a new defensive coach.

It has been another great season, hope to see you all again in August.

Thanks for all the posts & comments guys.

Hadn't seen it... oh man what a stunner. Not only an unbelievable goal... but also scored against one of the best teams, with one of the best goalkeepers... goal of the decade.

I don't think he was seriously going for goal, I still prefer peter crouch's against city.

Neither do I. If Cech was positioning for a shot, it would've never gone in.

 

[mpicco]

They're similar, but Cisse's makes a way crazier arc you almost never see. And I think they were both going for goal... that was too aggressive to be a cross.
It's like one of those NBA tosses when there's only half a second left and the player is in their own half, they just shoot it up there and hope for the best.

Oooh I dunno, Cech hasn't had a great season IMO.

So apparently Dalglish is no more managing LFC. Not quite sure if that's the way to go. You can't expect instant succes from the likes of Charlie Adam, Jay Spearing and whatnot.

The guy spent 113 million pounds on players in the 1 and a half seasons he was there and managed to come 8th in the league this season and a carling cup. Not to mention the attrocious football they've played at times. Needed to be sacked.

I cant possibly expect any success with those crappy buys e.g. stewart downing, ?20m, 36 games, 0 goals 0 assists. LOL.
