English Premier League Goes to the Wire - OzChess

The EPL has certainly lived up to its reputation as being the strongest and most exciting football league on the planet with the season now tumbling towards a nail-biting conclusion (at least if you are a Man U or Chelsea fan). Arsenal were the team to catch until February with both Man U and particularly Chelsea faltering at the start of the season. Then Man U seemed to have the title all but won until the weekend's game at the Bridge. Now, down to the last knockings, it's a very tight one to call. Who do you think will take it? I've been swinging back and forth between Man U and Chelsea since the turn of the new year and think Chelsea will pip it.

What do you attribute Arsenal's withering to? Inexperience?

Man U will probably take it. I've heard they just invest massively in that team to buy up all the stars, but really unless its the World Cup I don't make much effort in following soccer. Hopefully the Socceroo's will qualify for the World Cup again when it runs.

Hi,

Google search Mansfield town. Their season has been dogged by a President who seems to want to get relegated. It seems he wants to sell the club for profit of 1/2 a million, even though he only bought the club for a dollar. Supporters turned on him and beat him up when it became obvious that the team would be relegated. Its a fascinating story.

cheers,
