"Kevin Nolan lifts the trophy high and the dreams of many in East London are realised. The Premier League awaits."

You get a trophy for that?!

5/19/2012 2:22:16 PM

Yeah, it's filled with 40 mil in cash

"That's a little over the top for a "3rd place in the Championship" ceremony."

Chelsea will probably pocket about €32M for all of their wins in the UCL plus another €17M from the UCL TV pool. So Roman will make about €50M from this season's cup win.

If West Ham repeat their form from last season and get relegated again, they will make about €49M from the EPL TV pool alone. Of course if they stay up, they will make even more. Also, because they won, they now have a much stronger case to move to Olympic Stadium in 2014. Leyton Orient were trying to cock block them from the move after they got relegated, but now that they are back in the EPL they will most likely get rights to take over the stadium.

I would say that West Ham have a lot to celebrate, arguably as much as Chelsea today.

I was referring to the fact that there's a trophy and medal presentation for winning the Championship playoff final, aka 3rd place in the Championship.

Thanks for the commentary though and financial breakdown.

Hazard to United per soccernet.

Meanwhile, I'm sure Arsenal are lining up a £2m transfer for some 17 year old in Ligue 2.

5/21/2012 8:40:33 AM

no, Hazard news isn't true.

ESPN showing its quality in journalism again by jumping on a fake link

Hazard to United done!

Is there an MLS thread?

Is anyone going to the Railhawks / Galaxy game next week?

5/23/2012 3:36:41 PM

I might, sounds like all of the Galaxy high profile talent will be MIA though.

LOL at Joey Barton getting a 12 game suspension, btw.

I double dare you to make one.

I'd probably go if it wasn't a Tuesday.

5/23/2012 3:45:44 PM

$15 a ticket...not bad

5/23/2012 4:19:48 PM

too soft for barton. should have been kicked out of the league years ago (and I say this as a Toon fan)

Wenger's replacement for RVP


also, Twitter told me there are 3 clubs in for Hazard. Who are the other clubs stupid enough to try to compete with Spurs?

5/24/2012 8:19:41 AM

I have to say, the majority of Liverpool fans are fucking annoying. It's pretty embarrassing how they're behaving about this manager change.

It kind of makes me want to support a different club, to be honest.

5/24/2012 11:00:36 AM

^
Elaborate.

5/24/2012 12:20:25 PM

I'd say 90% of them freaking want Rafa back and claiming they won't support any new manager that isn't him or somebody like Pep Guardiola, and especially not Roberto Martinez (who beat Liverpool at Anfield with a substantially inferior team). That Spirit of Shankly group issued some stupid ass public statement demanding answers about the search and direction of the club.

5/24/2012 12:33:35 PM

The Spirit of Shankly group and our fans are embarrassing. I just wish people would shut up and let FSG do what they do. They'll get who they want to run the club and I'll be happy about it.

AND the MOST embarrassing things our fans have done...

Spurs are not getting Hazard. I say he goes to City.

5/24/2012 3:20:59 PM

^ you sure? I saw on twitter a while back he was leaning that way

5/24/2012 3:22:00 PM

I read he wants twice what Spurs can pay him. Only clubs that pay that much are United, City, and Chelsea.

There is absolutely zero buzz about him in the Spursnet.

[Edited on May 24, 2012 at 3:25 PM. Reason : ]

5/24/2012 3:25:24 PM

Not according to my twitter

5/24/2012 3:36:50 PM

I guarantee Hazard will not be at Spurs next season.

5/24/2012 3:44:06 PM

Okay man but twitter is never wrong, we'll see

5/24/2012 4:08:39 PM

all i've seen is that lille has agreed to terms with united, chelsea, and city for 30 mil pounds, he's choosing right now.

Podolski is his replacement...well, hopefully supplement, but possibly replacement. Kalou has been rumored to be moving to Arsenal for months now.

5/24/2012 8:53:53 PM

Yeah the point was Arsenal potentially losing a star and replacing him with a cheap and in this case free cast-off

5/24/2012 8:55:30 PM

Pep?

5/25/2012 10:23:26 AM

Looking more and more like Dempsey is going to chase the Champions League and leave Fulham.

If he stays in England, what would be the best fit? My thoughts:

1. Arsenal
2. Spurs
3. Chelsea
4. United
5. Liverpool
6. City

5/25/2012 10:34:13 AM

I think he'd easily find a place in Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs, and as much as I hate it if he went there, United. The other two would probably end up with him on the bench more often than not.

5/25/2012 10:37:38 AM

I don't think he would see much of the field at United with Welbeck, Rooney, Young, Nani, Valencia on that team. I'd love to see him at Spurs though and I think he would bring a lot to Liverpool as well.

5/25/2012 10:59:11 AM

He doesn't play Welbeck's position and he brings more defensively than Young or Nani. Hell, Nani was already losing minutes. I'm not saying he'd start but he'd get a fair share of minutes for sure.

I'd like to see him go to Spain or Italy.

5/25/2012 11:19:00 AM

Fuck watching Serie A or La Liga.

I'd rather seem him stay at Fulham than switch leagues.

5/25/2012 11:20:46 AM

oh like you watch a ton of Fulham games?


Let me just say, fuck Eden Hazard. Acting like Amile Jefferson and shit. You aren't Messi dude, stop acting like you're worth 100 mil

[Edited on May 25, 2012 at 11:31 AM. Reason : future Spurs midfielder, Eden Hazard, that is]

What the fu...

I don't Eden...

5/25/2012 6:45:20 PM

well played, sir.

5/26/2012 5:13:06 PM

Hazard changed his mind last minute from Spurs and he's going to Chelsea, according to his twitter

5/28/2012 4:08:38 PM

^ Just saw that ESPN reported the same thing

5/28/2012 5:19:34 PM
