i bet ACDC was good, but anyway, back on track, it will go to the wire between Liverpool and United.

You seriously think so? Even now that the DRB's have 2 games in hand and level on points?

Can't see it myself, I think last nights draw was the end for Liverpool...

United may slip up. They are just as inconsistent

I've a feeling it will go down to goal difference to be honest....and yes AC/DC was flippin' marvellous!

United will obviously take the 2-0 against Pompey. If United thrash a few teams then it will be close goal difference :O

Unless of Course Liverpool keep scoring 4 BUT STOP concedeing 4!

Well yeah, but it was a great game. I was surprised at how well Arshavin did, some have said he has taken, well but i've thought he's not had much of a chance really, but that was an excellent performance

It was an excellent performance, however he was abley (sp) assisted by poor defending from Liverpool. Lets see if he can do it week in week out?

Interesting matches. Both United and Liverpool got a tad bit of good fortune, at the expense of Spurs and Hull. Stoke... lost, but so did the important teams around us, so i can smile for another week

Well done Maccelsfeld on a fine victory over the Bees and beating the drop. See you next year.

Uhuh

Free kick for the first goal? My arse hehe. Thats why I always say the top 4 get a good deal. The penalty was iffy. The free kick you nicked ya first goal off was iffy. Stoke, well, we got punished for basically not taking our chances against Fulham.

I seriously fear for Newcastle now Adam

Come on Pete, you'll admit that Liverpool have had some lucky decisions this year as well

And you could say its justice from Everton vs United when they should have had a penalty. The top 4 get a cracking deal with regards to decisions, so i think it evens itself out between you guys. When Stoke are dominating the leagues ( ) then we'll see

I cannot deny that Liverpool have had some luck this year, but I would argue they haven't had anything that has (potentially) changed the course of a game and the destination the Premier League.

Up until the penalty man U were floundering against a much improved Spurs team that had deservedly taken a 2 goal lead. The penalty gave man u (on the run of poor performances) the confidence they needed to go on and win the game, it also affected Spurs mindset.

Oh and Liverpool had a perfectly good goal disallowed against Stoke at Anfield in September when you came and 'parked the bus'...

i'll admit Pete, you've got me chuckling there. Hey, the bus got us two draws against Liverpool and lets be honest, you're a great team.

I'll agree with you on this one, Liverpool did have a goal disallowed and from what I saw, it was okay, however Stoke have had so many decisions go against us this year its sometimes nice to get a bit of luck. I'm sure you'll chuckle when I say, United had some right good decisions when they played us at the Brit, but thats life and you take the rough with the smooth.

We beat Arsenal, which was a proud day for Stoke fans and we didn't park the bus, we came out and played against them. Stoke are one of these teams that know when there is a game worth defending, and when there is one to go for. Sometimes, Stoke just haven't got the strike force to go for the win, so we have to defend, but when our strikers are fully fit, we will go for it. Liverpool, United, Chelsea and Arsenal are all great teams. And Stoke, gave all of them decent games. Lets not forget, we got two draws against the Pool, got destroyed by United at OT, but we were so close to getting a well deserved draw at home, thats after we had statistically more chances of scoring but missed them, gave Chelsea a good going at The Brit, if only we'd have had a little luck when it came to scoring the goal we may have nicked a 1-0 or 1-1, and almost beat Chelsea at the Bridge when Delap put is 1-0 up and we threw it away in the last 5 minutes, and to top it off, we beat Arsenal at the Brit and have to play them on the last day of the season. There is no way we could have parked the bus in all those games

As far as I'm concerned Pete, the best team is the team with the most points at the end of the season, I don't agree with the whole lucky mofos in the last three games If United win it, they were best, if Liverpool win it, they were best and if Chelsea win it, United and Liverpool threw it away

This is the sound of me covering up my misery...
Why? 'Cos NCL play Liverpool today...at Anfield!!!

We are gonna get trashed!!!!!

i got a funny feeling about this one :\

Yep, it was just as bad as I expected!!

Nuff, said.

*Sigh* its sad really. because he has always had potential to be a half decent, decent player and its always been hampered by what is, one of the worst attitudes in football. I thought Newcastle deserved nothing today, they just didn't seem to want it. By half time, they seemed to have accepted inevitability. NUFC fans need a favour from Stoke next week when we play Hull.

I wouldn't touch Barton with Scope's! ....he's bad news, a waste of talent & money!

So sad for Newcastle, a miracle required now

That's Arsenal despatched .....I want Barca in the final
