Well here it is - OT10! Big thanks to elseanio and Fady for creating the previous threads :)

We're now only a few games away from the end of the season, but there's still plenty to look forward to - of course, this time of the season is always one of the most interesting. We won't have as long to wait in the summer this year either, as Euro 2012 will give us something to watch for a month. All in all, plenty still to watch and discuss, so no matter who you support and their respective league positions, enjoy!!


For all your Soccer related talk, there is a separate thread for the MLS here.

Thanks to CaramaC for the awesome banner, SunhiLegend for GIFS and to elseanio and Fady for the previous threads :)

What will happen?
- Will Villas Boas be a success at Chelsea?
- Will Sneijder/Modric/Nasri/Fabregas actually move clubs?
- Will Liverpool's strategy of spending big on British players pay off?
- How ambitious will Venky's be approaching the new season with Blackburn?
:(
- Will John Henry still administer verbal beatdowns to anyone who's deserving of them?
- How will Torres fare at Chelsea this season?
- Is the recent instability over for Aston Villa?
- Who will emerge victorious from the Real v Barca battle?
- Will a French village team attempt to sign Messi again?
Doesn't look like it :(
- Can Dortmund continue their fantastic form from last season?
- How will Porto cope this season without AVB in charge?
- Will FIFA stick to their guns over the Qatar world cup situation?
- Will Man City still have the best website in the known universe?
- Will Gunnersaurus make his Premier League debut?

Q. I'm looking to get more into watching football. Which team should I support?
A. The simple answer is, support whoever you want. But crucially, pick a team and stick with them, through the good times and the bad. If you change allegiances as soon as your chosen team has a bit of a hard time, you won't experience what it's truly like to be a fan. Besides, it just makes the good times all the better.[/QUOTE]

Can't believe I didn't notice Fady K is listed as a fan of every team in the last thread. :p (edit: beaten by seconds!)

Any chance you could add me to the list of Newcastle fans PaulLFC? Cheers.
 
Copenhagen are currently 3 points ahead with 4 matches left in the league, problem is we are playing like shit and this is in our most important season ever (champions league group stage for the winner). If we are shitting this up I have to leave this thread forever.

Just realized Fady is in all the team lists haha

Not united!

I thought Steve Bennett retired? I guess they must be really short of officials.

Also - Liverpool vs Chelsea - Kevin Friend - :|

Jealous of the Glory that is Johnny Depp
:sad this season is almost done, waiting 2 months for football is such a torture. at least there's the eurocup to ease up a bit on the wait.
 
This weekend is going to be so nervous. We beat Villa and City beat Newcaslte then we have 4th and head into the final weekend with a small hope we could clinch 3rd but one game at a time, I hope the Villa of recent months turn up against us!

Yay new OT!

There's also the Olympics, which not many really care about, but Busquets will be there :D

Steve is a PGMO official and assesor of Premier League referees. He can be recalled at any time and must maintain his fitness
