The motion passed today meaning it will be voted on at the annual general meeting in June. I don't know what the vote was. It needed 14 votes to pass today. What I heard was:

No: Man City, ManU, Villa

Abstain: Chelsea

But there could have been 1 or 2 other clubs to vote against this.

I'm not sure what I think about that red card at the end of Sheffield/Forest. In one regard it was stupid to get a suspension for a double yellow at the end of the game. At the same time, if you are going to get sent off, that is the time to do it with no penalty to your team.

I didn't realize ARS likely bottled the title with that Villa loss. 

If City closes it out they'll have gone 6 of 7 which has never happened in the English first division.

ARS bottled the title when they lost West Ham on 12/28 and lost to Fulham on NYE.  Losing to a T4 side is going to happen here and there, losing both and at not least drawing with one of those two teams is the points killer for us.

Eh, City has shown the ability to f around and pull out a draw. The problem is they have no more quality teams left so you have to hope Fulham jumps up at home. I doubt Spurs will put up much of an effort. That club looks more tired than Liverpool. West Ham is done as well. Arsenal sadly get to experience what Liverpool has which is you cannot stumble at all when your competition is that machine.

Villa loss does give Tottenham a mathematical shot at grabbing the last CL spot but Spursy then immediately went Spursy and while still a mathematical shot…well Spursy.

No at this point it’s more likely it comes out that Pep injected Kate with cancer and the FA has no choice but to deduct points than it is for City to drop points to any of those last three.

That and home to Fullham. We were up a goal and they were down a man with 7 mins plus stoppage left, and we pissed away two points.

Arsenal can close the season 16-1-1 and end on 89 points, most goals scored, fewest against. Which is a very good season. But very good isn’t enough. 

We can only hope that bald fucker is bored with the record 4th straight title, sterilizing the PL, and decides to retire to Abu Dhabi or whatever Gulf state.

I can’t imagine the anger Liverpool supporters have. Yes, y’all got one, but there are 115 reasons why y’all don’t have two more.

115 charges are only until 2018. Who knows how many breaches they have since then.

It's been 42 years since we won it all in Europe.  It's time to do it again.  #UTV

i'm not saying you need to get to Villa Park for a Champions League match next season, but you need to get your ass there.  

new format next season.  instead of 6 group stage matches (3 home, 3 away), it'll be 8 league phase matches (4 home, 4 away).  so an extra opportunity.  that would be so fucking cool.

congrats dude. and so cool that Villa was having its awards banquet while the City/Spurs game was happening.  so they learned they qualified as a team.
