Be nice to see Spurs get a stirring win tomorrow giving some hope to the longshot of either Spurs or Liverpool finishing 4th.

England is making allegations that Qatar bribed officials to vote for them last fall. I am shocked that they would do such a thing.

Spurs go down to Manchester City. City qualifies for Champions League for, what, the first time?

KoppoKick · « **Reply #53 on:** May 10, 2011, 05:22:57 PM »

Yup, first time.

This sucks. Birmingham are losing to Fulham, which keeps them tied in points with, but just ahead of, 18th place Blackpool. Anything but a win next week against Tottenham and they could go down. Blackpool plays Man Utd, who really have no reason to keep trying after securing first place.

I hate this sport.

LA beat Sporting KC last night 4-1. LA scored all 5 goals.

West Ham has been relegated.

Should be a fascinating day next Sunday with 5 teams vying to stay out of the dreaded 18th and 19th spots. Be amazing if Wolves/Blackburn play to a draw and Birmingham, Blackpool and Wigan all win.

Spurs vs Birmingham City has been a fairly laid back game. Neither team is acting like they're feeling any urgency, though City has managed to hold off all the corners(and there have been a lot of them) and blocked a couple of dangerous shots. Spurs might not be feeling pressure to win with Villa winning against Liverpool.

Actually, the game has picked up quite a bit after the goal. Maybe B'ham will equalize? Please?

Blackpool leads at Old Trafford!

This is setting up to be a proud day for attacking football.

Havok816 · « **Reply #62 on:** May 22, 2011, 12:20:26 PM »

Blackpool is beating ManUtd 2-1. The world is ending a day late.

Havok816 · « **Reply #63 on:** May 22, 2011, 12:23:00 PM »

Those Spurs fans are c*nts.

Havok816 · « **Reply #64 on:** May 22, 2011, 12:24:16 PM »

2-2 at Old Trafford

KoppoKick · « **Reply #65 on:** May 22, 2011, 12:26:50 PM »

This is tense.

Havok816 · « **Reply #66 on:** May 22, 2011, 12:30:18 PM »

Wow, this is turning into a really good game.

Havok816 · « **Reply #67 on:** May 22, 2011, 12:35:12 PM »

ManUtd up 3-2 with an own goal.

KoppoKick · « **Reply #68 on:** May 22, 2011, 12:36:43 PM »

Blackpool will be sent down by virtue of an own goal

I have nothing left to lose at this point, so I'll just take glee from the misfortune of others

GOAL!! BIRMINGHAM TIE!!!

Havok816 · « **Reply #70 on:** May 22, 2011, 12:42:58 PM »

ManUtd is up 4-2 thanks to a Michael Owen goal(!), Wigan is winning their game. Birmingham nearly scored a second goal.

Havok816 · « **Reply #71 on:** May 22, 2011, 12:46:50 PM »

This is nerve-wracking.

I hate that my team's fortune depends on the scoreline of other games. This is so frustrating.

No, Wolves up to 17th. They're safe on goals scored. I'm so disappointed. Worst birthday ever.
