Premier League 2011/12

I thought Man Utd getting a point today meant that Man City would still be a point behind if they beat Utd next week?

No. Level on points - assuming Man C beat Wolves - they're 1-0 ahead at the moment.

The Mancs are Level on points as Man City beat Wolves 2-0
If Man Utd lose the big game next week they would then have to win their 2 remaining games [Swansea (h) Sunderland (a)], if Man City do likewise, by a total minimum goals of +10. Or more if Man City win any games by more than 1 goal. Even then it could then depend on them scoring more in total.

Really looking forward to the Manchester derby next week. Due to an inherent hatred of Man Utd I'll be cheering on Man City.

Villa have been beaten at home by Bolton, which leaves them just three points above the bottom three.

Would be ****ing brilliant if they slipped into the relegation places.

Then Brum win the play offs and wave at McCleish as they change places,

Went to the match tonight - the abuse for McLeish was deafening.

Tbf, they dominated the first half, but after Bolton scored twice they looked dejected and broken. Going to be a nervous few games for them.

Villa going down would be so funny. It's a shame they had that good start to the season else they really would be in deep shit right now.

Could be Heskey will be at the KP next season after all, playing for Villa

He's out of contract in the summer - no way they will keep him, if they have any sense

Swansea 4 Wolves 4 after Swansea were winning 4-1. They reckon on BBC its one of the Premier Leagues best ever comebacks. I think our comeback vs Villa with the same score was much better.

Didn't Wolves come back against someone else a few years ago?!

We were only 3-0 up though.

Sounds pretty similar to 4-1? Either way, it still hurts.

Especially as they beat us and not drew

Villa comeback was good because there was very little time left to score three.

Chelsea 4-0 up against QPR within 25 minutes.


Chelsea's 4-0 lead is the sixth fastest in Premier League history. The quickest was in April 1998 when Leicester went 4-0 up against Derby in 15 minutes. That stat courtesy of infostradalive.

Happy times!

Watching the Villa highlights reminded me, I saw Bosnich on TV the other day as a pundit for the Arsenal Chelsea match, that is one hell of a hairpeice he has.

Thanks for the clip.
I remember hearing that a certain Sir Gary of the Lineker going daft in the studios when our fourth went in.
