The Soccer Thread (Version 8)

Wenger out ... of the Europa League.

 

Is there a 4th place trophy in that competition?

 

Steven Gerrard takes over Rangers. Not sure about that move at all.

 

The party is on as West Brom gets an 11th hour reprieve thanks to a +6' goal from Everton. They don't have enough games left to have a real hope but this week will at least be interesting in the relegation fight.

 

Manchester United statement:

"Sir Alex Ferguson has undergone emergency surgery today for a brain haemorrhage. The procedure has gone very well but he needs a period of intensive care to optimise his recovery. His family request privacy in this matter.”

 

I love that they "allow" the fans on the field to celebrate Man City. The "Where's Waldo" effect is strong. Saw a dude in a Sumo suit go charging through

 

I would have loved it so much if Wegner closed with "Wegner out" and dropped the mic. Missed opportunity.

 

Best part of the day was Burnley getting curb-stomped in Wenger's finale.

 

Testy El Classico so far. Ray Hudson isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I enjoy him.

 

SEE YOU IN THE EUROPA LEAGUE, BITCHES

 

The bottom 3 are set unless Swansea wins, Southampton loses and there is at least a 10 goal combined margin of victory.

 

So you’re saying there’s a chance?
