I'm afraid this might be the dead of Premier League as the best league in the world:

I predict a mediocre league in 2022.

"A more strictly enforced work permit system that would prevent Premier League sides from having more than two non-EU players."

Are they fucking serious? Just need to have a look at the current best players in the league and we see the likes of Suarez, Aguero, Yaya Toure etc. and then we have a good portion of the Brazilian national team. Without players like these the league would be nothing so we might as well say goodbye to the best European players like Hazard and Van Persie as well.

I would understand the reasoning if they applied that to lower levels like League One where it would be beneficial for English football that most of the players are, in fact, English but when you want to be the best league in Europe you can't disregard world class players just because of their nationality.

Dyke's plan will never pass

A few people have suggested the premier league's 8-player homegrown squad rule should be enforced with 4 homegrown players (eligible for England) in the starting XI of every club.

At the very least, that would let the English manager have 80 English players to choose from...

and people say we treat managers like shit. Four years as a player and managerial staff of Spurs since 2008,this guy truly does deserve more respect.

"I am doing this job with a lot of uncertainty around my future," he told reporters.

"If you have a supply teacher who comes into your school, sometimes they are not treated with the respect that a headmaster is."

Midfielder Sandro told ESPN Brazil earlier this week that Sherwood was set to leave at the end of the season, and the coach suggested that some of his squad knew more about the situation than he did.

"If I need any information, I am better off asking the players," he added. "Sandro obviously has a knowledge of what is going on. I wish I knew.

"I don't know if the chairman has spoken to Sandro but obviously somebody has told him.

"The players look a lot at the speculation and it begins to be more than that. I have had a lot of players come to me and say to me: 'Our agents have told us you are not going to be here next year.' It's a very difficult situation."

R.A.W.K

The Brendhemian Rhapsody


Was this the real race?
Was this just fantasy?
Won in a landslide
No need for escape from reality,
Open your eyes
Look up all the ties, and See!

We’re just a poor team,
We need no sympathy
Cause its easy won, City blows
We are high, they are low
Anyway, Maureen-Yo doesn’t really matter
(To me) Too Meeee…

Sterling…,
Just killed the Man’s
Put the eyes on, tilts his head
Pulls the trigger, left for dead
Sterling
The race had just begun
But then he went and blew them all away
Sterling,
ooo-oo
Didn’t mean to make them cry
But they couldn’t keep up if they ran until tomorrow
Tracking back, kicking out, didn’t really matter….


Just great, our time has come!
Sends shivers down my spine
It’s a season for all time!
Goodbye, Moysie Mancster, you’ve got to go
Gotta leave your thing destroyed and face the truth
Suarez, oo-oo-o (easy won city blows)
Always made them cry.
The other teams knew he couldn’t be stopped at all…


I see a little Silouhetto of a man
AVTim AVTim can you do the FanTango?
Thunderbolts and lightning very very frightening
Pelligrino Pellegrino
Pellegrino Pellegrino
Pellegrino paid Eur-os (Magnifico-oo-o)




But we’re just a poor team everybody loves we
(We’re just a poor team with a rich history!)
Sparing the League from these Monstrosity’s

Easy won, City blows-will you tell Maureen?
John Henry! Yes! We will tell Maureen. (Wenger knows)
John Henry! We will tell Maureen. (Wenger knows)
John Henry! We will tell Maureen. (Wenger knows)
We did not let it go (didnt let it go)
Never Never let it go
Never Let it go-ooh, Go-Go-Go-Go-Go-GO
Oh Mama Mia Mama Mia We just never let it go
Couhtin-io had a through ball quite divine, and Steve,
And Steve, and Steeeve…..


Did you see Sturridge just school you, that blur in your eye?
Did you see as he scored and your brain was just fri-i-ed?
Ooh, Jose,
Such fun to do this to you Jose
We finish first,
We finished first in the League….



…oooh yeah, …oooh yeah
The title really mattered,
Anyone could see.
The title really mattered
The title really mattered,
To Steeeve.

(Cause its easy won, City blows, we are high they are low, anyway Maureen-Yo, doesn’t really matter, to Me…..) Cunts !!

Sherwood is a moron to be honest, not a fan. But you're absolutely right, it's not like we have that much of a right to criticise after RdM, but at least our players didn't show this much disrespect to him (though they did to AvB)

You look at their squad though and it's not surprising. There's absolutely no leaders in that dressing room and really it's a bunch of mercenary cunts. We at least had Didier, JT, Lamps, Ashley and Cech who all stepped up. Who have they got? Adebayor? Dawson? Lloris?

That club is a right mess.

Really want City to do this, but no matter what at the end of today it will kill me watching someone else lift the trophy, knowing deep down inside it could so easily of been us.

Lesser of the two evils in City winning it for me.
