Who relegated directly then?

Köln & Freiburg?

Kaiserslautern (18.) and Köln (17.). Freiburg played an amazing second half of the season and finished 12th.

Fürth (1st) and Frankfurt (2nd) were promoted.

And btw, Düsseldorf won 2:1 in Berlin

According to ''Marca'' and ''Mundo deportivo'', Gareth Bale will sign a 5 year contract with Barcelona, he will join the team after the 2012 Olympics and Tottenham will receive 40 millions.
Although that's just a rumor so I don't really know how much we should trust.

Saw this too (every sports Spanish newspaper..), i don't know.
It can be good, but as a left back. I think Barça will buy Alba, but i would also love Gareth Bale.

Guess who got shit on for the Pokal

[War]

That match was just fabulous, the game was really nice, two playing teams.. The middle of BVB was awesome, Schweinsteiger, Luiz Gustavo, Kroos did not really do anything due to Kehl, Kagawa and Gundogan.
Lewandovski scoring 3 goals, he is really good, impressive.

Poland will be good at European, i'm sure.

Interesting line-up from Arsenal, think it makes a lot of sense though.

Szczesny

Jenkinson - Koscielny - Vermaelen - Santos

Coquelin

Song - Rosicky

Gervinho - Benayoun

RVP

I think having Coquelin in front of the defence is a very good idea, allows Song focus more on the creative side of his game. Theo Walcott has been passed fit and I can see him coming on in the second half with Chamberlain if we need a goal. I can see Rosicky and Song both creating a lot of chances, Rosicky has assisted 3 times in his last 4 while Song has been playing those beautiful through balls to Van Persie all season.

Luckily for us as well, Brunt is out injured for them and Odemwingie is on the bench.

Barton, what a cunt. It's QPR 2 - 1 City at the moment. United will be champions if te situation remains the same :D

[Ironhide]

That was really insane. City scored 2 goals in just a few minutes and won 3:2.

Football, boody hell....

It's kinda good to see that something like that happened to Man United, especially after 1999 and as a Bayern supporter

[nBurbidge]

What a day of football that was!

Gibbs is god, what a block.

United did not deserve it anyway, they lost both matches vs City. You can't be deserved champion but lose both matches against the 2nd placed team.

I fully agree on this 1, 6-1 & 1-0 says enough. City deserved it just on those performances imo.

They didn't big spend as much this summer either I think did they, not more than United did at least.

edit: nvm, City 82, United 57 million

forgot about Nasri's big fee & Clichy, thought only Aguero & some fillers like Savic & Hargreaves

Villarreal going to the second division, too bad for this team.. financial problems, Rossi's injury.
Real is champion with 100 points, a record.

Montpellier is at 95% champion, 3 points more than Paris and one match left.
