Onderwerp: Barclays Premier League 2011-12

So spending £320 million (~400million euro), on players, in the space of 3 years, is something sport should be proud of? Hell, i know Man U have had their fair share of buying players, but we don't go spending £320 million over the course of 3 seasons in order to buy a title.

In 20 years, we have spent £480 million (average of £24 million per season).

Think again before you reply, you know what i mean. I don't mean money "in general", but how such a team is allowed to spend so much in such little time.

Edit: Upon further research, in 4 seasons, they (Man Shitty) have spent ~£475 million.

I'm sure bet quote on city in 90' was pretty interesting :P

just speechless.. we've done our job but at the very last minutes it happened. unbelieveble.. that was the longest 35 minute in my life.

good season though. gonna prepare better for the next season! GGMU!

West Brom GK is bribed by arsenal ... 2 goals thx to him :p

No i dont think its sporty, but thats entertainment business. With no City this season it would have been really boring season. Fans=money, so as long as in long term it brings more money and fans to PL and football in general its all good. We get entertained thanks to UAE oil-money. Would it be better when he doesnt invest in football and keeps all his(our petrol) money or spends it on building another 1km high house to Dubai?


Plus with the new UEFA rule next? season you cant buy that mindlessly anymore. So buying all they can before that rule applies was probably the best plan for City owners at time, they took the risk and it has payed off at least for this season.

In the next 5 years financial fairplay will be initiated in europe, meaning clubs like chelsea and city can not exist anymore.

you mean that no new clubs like Chelsea or City will emerge? :)

I am just glad Arsenal is over Tottenham as their head coach during the season promised they will be above Arsenal at the end of the season. TAKE THAT SPURS!

P.S. I hope Chelsea wins CL, so Spurs are out of the European most prestigious trophy :)

still want to kick Wenger?

Has this been the best season of English football yet to date? I mean it had absolutely everything!

last season was interesting for relegation spots. But yeah, this season's last matchday
- title
- CL and EL spots
- Relegation spots
Cant get any better I guess. Or should have been a Manchester derby to decide it ...

Not just final matchday. We've seen some incredible goals, unbelievable results, hollywood styled twists and turns etc.
If you want to promote football, just hand out a DVD collection of this season's Barclays Premier League :D

true ... the 2-3 of Blackburn at old trafford, the 1-6 derby, the returns of City ... Arsenal getting beaten heavily and dealing damage similar damage (United, Blackburn), ... yeah, quite some nice moments. And as you say, some really nice goals.

Best season ever, and Liverpool's worst! *facepalm*

also:
3-3 united v chelsea
5-3 arsenal - chelsea
4-4 united - everton
5-2 arsenal - tottenham
5-0 tottenham - newcastle
0-3 norwich - liverpool with possibly best hattrick ever by Luis Suarez
several other 4-4's and 3-3's
many tennis scores

many teams had great form at one stage in the season only to spectacularly crumble the next week
Tevez going golfing in Argentina for half a year and than coming back to score vital goals
A whole season of Balotelli madness
City leading by 5 points, then trailing by 8 in a few months time

all this season missed really was a big red beachball... :p

I think there was a similar story somewhere though ... but not sure.
