And Madrid win El Clasico. Excellent :D

And with it the title, given they are now 7 clear with only 12 points to play for.

That will probably be job done for Mourinho, even more so if he delivers another Champions League.

Which he probably will, they made Barca look ordinary tonight.

I agree.

It seems that in two matches, two clubs have figured out how to neutralise Barcelona, by effectively playing from the front. I actually believe Chelsea can do it again in the 2nd leg as well.

112m pounds and sit 8th below Everton, a team who David Moyes for the same price as Stewart Downing's right thigh.

Yes, but that is based on what isn't even one full season which has culminated in a cup win and another final. I can quite agree about the signings, although all of the supposed flops are not bad players at all.

That doesn't make him an awful manager though.

If we based the tag of an "awful manager" on money spent, there are much worse.

Bugger! I turned that game off after Utd got their third. I can see Ivo being relatively pleased with that result

I hate to be even more pedantic but Hyde beat Boston 4-1 and Bishops Stortford that beat Guiseley 0-1 ;)

That will teach me to believe what I am told by the "so-called" footballer reporter from a certain Tameside newspaper. Perhaps he was too euphoric after seeing Hyde FC win 4-1 to realise that there are more than one team beginning with "B" in the Conference North. Perhaps he was also trying to tell me that Bishops Stortford had defeated Guiseley.

As you say, it was a great result for Bishops Stortford to go to Guiseley and win 1-0 when Guiseley still had a mathematical chance of beating Hyde FC to the Champions place before that match and everything would have gone to the last game of the season.

Scoring 4 at OT is pretty good! (Unless you're City I guess.).....Not too surprisingly, my brother isn't answering his phone :lol:

This result puts their 2-3 home defeat by Blackburn Rovers into even more perspective, as the matter of points being dropped at home having a possible reason why they might have thrown away their chance of winning the Premiership.

It will give Manchester City even more incentive in their match later today.

Not sure if I posted it before but it's actually not all that impossible - QPR OR WIGAN lose 4 in a row, bolton and blackburn both lose 3 out of 4, and wolves win all four. Stranger things have happened. I think 100:1 is probably fair.

Elsewhere in the Black Country, West Brom are 15/2 to win at Anfield which I reckon they could pull off

'Game on ' in the Premier League Title 'race' then, mind you Wolves started like a team with no fear, as they're more or less relegated anyway...
Tony Watt makes his Celtic debut aged 18, and comes off the bench and scores twice, as Celtic 'cruise' past Motherwell 3-0 at Fir Park, even though they are in with a chance (along with Dundee United) of making next season's 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League no less

Wolves need to score twice to avoid relegation today.
West Brom need to win for me to win the best part of £60
