Soccer 2012-2013 3.0

Random end of season thoughts/observations...

WTF 'Arry? Down by effectively 15 points in the end with that shitty goal difference!

After losing to Spurs in March, Arsenal didn't lose again including beating Bayern Munich in Germany and getting 26 out of the last 30 points. Spurs get their highest ever EPL points total and still don't make the CL, they are cursed. Hilariously

As mentioned a week or so ago, Big Sam is now in the top 5 time served managers in the top division and won't celebrate his second year in charge until next month...

The new England kit from Nike is shite!



Yeovil are up to the Championship! They were one of the classic non-league FA Cup giant winning teams I remember from my youth. They beat Brentford the other day to make it to the second tier of English football, what a nice story.

Forest missed out on the playoffs by a point and a ton of goal difference in the end, what price the 5 points from 21 fuckwit McLeish managed in midseason >.<

Real Madrid have announced a press conference tonight at 19:00 UK time, presumably announcing Jose's departure to Chelsea. Shame he didn't manage the cup win last Friday, at least they lost in a hilariously bad tempered match.

More than one rumour has Ronaldo back at MUFC next season, it might be possible, especially if Bale really is off the market.

Total shocker, Mourinho is officially leaving!

Finally that parasite is out of La Liga. Hope Chelsea enjoy him.

You can't still be bitter about him breaking your points scoring record last season surely?

I could care less about records (even though Barca can tie it if they win the next 2 games since they are currently on 94 points). My biggest issue was what he did to the rivalry. In addition how he turned RM into FC Portugal and the douchebaggery that was seen in nearly every single game. While Barca were far from saints during those matches, you can still point all of the issues at Mourinho. It was embarrassing what he did to the overall image of RM and how he treated the players who weren't in his "circle". Awesome birthday present for Iker today.

Would be interesting on who the next RM boss be

Benitez? Klopp? Mancini?

My money is on Alex McLeish since Scottish managers are clearly omgwtfawesome

Ancelotti has asked to leave PSG, seems it likely would be him.

Clearly it's going to be Sir Alex Ferguson. He has fooled us all and is going to come out of retirement and manage Ronaldo again.

Ancelotti for RM, Pellegrini to Shitty, Warnock to Chelsea and Benitez to PSG/Napoli.

Kolo Toure to LFC on a free, not a bad way to get some experience in I guess.

Scratch that. Pulis to Chelsea.

If Pulis leaves and Martinez goes to Everton as expected the second longest serving Premier League manager will be Alan Pardew who started in Dec 2010Barmy!

Edit: BBC are now saying he has deffo gone.

He is the 56th manager to leave his post since the start of 2012/13 although I think that number drops into the 20s if you remove Blackburn

From the BBC

Champions Manchester United earned a record ?60.8m in television revenues for the 2012-13 season, more than any of their Premier League rivals.

United were the most televised club, with 25 of their 38 matches broadcast.

Manchester City's second place finish saw broadcast income fall 4% to ?58.1m, while bottom club QPR received ?39.7m.

A new three-year broadcasting deal starting in August will allow next season's bottom side to earn more than this year's winners.

They think next years champs will get ?100m!http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22610584

Edit: Forgot to mention the relegated teams will get ?60m over four seasons instead of the current ?48m. They get it at ?15m , ?17m and two more years at ?8m each. Nice rewards for failure!
