Premier League 2011/12 Season

completely agree. so long as the team is from Europe.... then they can meet in the European Club Tourney

 

fml, mon

 

I agree PR. Nobody says it but I certainly see Man City as the biggest threat to Barcelona this season in the CL

 

Rangers are out also.ray:

 

Sporting Scunthorpe are holding Shakhtar Newcastle 1-1 in their Carling Cup game.

 

Fuck Joe Cole . He won't sign for us the high pitched voiced faggot

 

Partizan Belgrade 1-2 Shamrock Rovers. {2-3 on aggregate}

Rovers are into the Europa League proper.

:bears:

 

Jesus, great achievement!! How much is that worth to them now?

 

Well there is a basic prizemoney then a whole shit load of other terms and conditions, ticket scalping etc. We don't know where the games will be played as of yet, Tallaght {pronounced Tallah} Stadium is not actually a Stadium. Its like one of those green-spaces where you throw down a jacket and let your dog off his lead.

So they will probably move it to the RDS or the Aviva Stadium.

Has to be worth £5m to them, one way or the other.

Per Wikipedia:

Prize money

Similarly to the UEFA Champions League, the prize money received by the clubs is divided into fixed payments based on participation and results, and variable amounts that depend of the value of their TV market.[15]

A group stage participation in the Europa League nets €640,000, with a €60,000 bonus per group match played. A victory in the group pays €140,000 and a draw €70,000. Reaching the knock-out matches triggers additional bonuses: €200,000 for the round of 32, €300,000 for the round of 16, €400,000 for the quarterfinals and €700,000 for the semifinals. The losing finalists receive €2 million and the champions get €3 million.[16] In comparison, any team that reaches the UEFA Champions League group stage will be paid €3.9 million.[17]

According to Marko Vjetrović, spokesman of Partizan Belgrade and a member of the European Club Association (ECA), the fixed payments for the 2009/2010 UEFA Europa League season were as follows:[18][19]
1st qualifying round: €90,000
2nd qualifying round: €90,000
3rd qualifying round: €90,000
Playoffs: €90,000
Group stage: €1,000,000
Group match victory: €120,000
Group match draw: €60,000
1st knock out round: €180,000
2nd knock out round: €270,000
Quarter-finals: €360,000
Semi-finals: €630,000
Losing Finalist: €2,000,000
Winning the Final: €3,000,000

 

Shamrock Rovers have been drawn with spurs

 

Good, thats about their level.

As for Shamrock Rovers................
















::

 

^^^ . Good luck to Rovers. Irish are you going to go to the game when Spurs travel to Ireland?

 

We got Barton.

 

It might be Rovers fans first served, I wait to see how the tickets thing breaks down. It might be worth going just to roar abuse at the Spurs bench. I would be like ....."HA! HA! WANKFEST!!! THIS TIME LAST YEAR IT WAS THE SAN SIRO AND EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS INTER MILAN!! !!

 

This is going to be a long year if Fabregas continues like this. Little fucking runt.

 

What did he do now?

When Mascherano left, he made sure to play in a European Cup Winning side and then apologized to Liverpool and dedicate the win over Manure to us. ::

As for Torres.......:die:

 

Not sure about Bolton tomorrow.....they play a good keep-ball system and are well overdue a result at Anfield. Still feel that Liverpool were too-good-value-for-money at the Emirates, and with no Meireles to bring on, this could be, with respect to Arsenal, a sterner test. Thankfully the side are still bringing in new bodies, another CB and another defender will go down a treat. Krasnic and Davies will be their main threats up-front.

 

He just scored again and it pisses me off. The whole thing. Just pisses me off.

 

So he looked good then against Porto?

 

He did... he sat on the bench, came in in the 80th minute and promptly scored a goal to put the game away for good about 5 minutes later.

 

With Torres, Liverpool went there and beat them the following Sunday and he got subbed off, and then he scored once since, so that really took the sting out of it. Fabregas will get injured or something, don't worry, I think Arsenal are going to have a hard season with some sort of a twist in the tail yet. Yann M'Villa is rumoured to be close and Wenger made an astute but futile bid of £6m for Cahill.

Bolton announced that a bid had been made, and how much it had been for, which proves Cahill is for sale and invites further, improved offers, from Arsenal and from others.

 

For Arsenal I'd like Cahill/Samba and maybe Hazard. To be honest I'd like Tevez, but you know I also would like a blowjob from Kiera Knightley

 

Does anyone know what tube stop is closest to Fulham's home ground, Craven Cottage?

 

:laugh11:

 

oh yeaaaaa that's it baby

 

I'm pretty sure it's putney bridge on the district line cal.

It may be a 10-20 minute walk from there, or a 5 minute journey by bus/car. I'm not sure if there's a bus going from the tube station to the ground.

 

Fucking wigan fuckers, fuck, fuck, shit.

 

Love Chelsea's new theme music and special chinese-made banner.

 

Grant Holt
Is Fat
Chelsea!
Take That!

 

Atrocious performance from Everton, a miracle they some how got the win there.
