I’ve about had all I can have of United and then to wake up this morning here in Chennai and see Ryan Giggs on the front page of the Times of India made me vomit. Certainly bigger news must be going on in world affairs than Manchester United.

I didn’t think Derby would survive but I don’t think anyone saw how dire Derby would be. Never in my wildest imagination thought Derby would end the sason as the worst team ever.

This is how I picked the table to look this year compared to how they finished. The 1st number was my pick for how the teams would finish and the 2nd number is where the team actually finished. I was so wrong on Spurs it isn’t even funny!

1/1 Manchester United
2/2 Chelsea
3/4 Liverpool
4/11 Tottenham
______________________
5/3 Arsenal
6/12 Newcastle
7/5 Everton

8/8 Portsmouth
9/10 West Ham
10/6 Aston Villa
11/7 Blackburn
12/9 Manchester City

Dan,

Here’s an interesting article from The Telegraph this afternoon that talks about how the gap between the rich and the less rich clubs in the Premier League is narrowing:

My personal opinion is that you get what you pay for. If clubs finish near the top, they should make more money than those at the bottom. Why reward the bottom teams if they’re not that good?

Cheers,
The Gaffer
