Disgusted by the lack of media coverage. No where near as prominent as it should have been. RIP.

Season's over! Already looking forward to the next season. WC coming should keep us occupied.

Transfer activity started as United have bid £27m for Shaw, as expected. Saints probably will accept a bid in the region of £30m I'd say. If he develops in the same vein as he's performed this season, it'd be a fantastic investment.

You lot should have bid for Joe Bennett, we'd throw in Karim El Ahmadi as well if you want.

Not that it's a competition or anything like that but I found it disgraceful that the Premier League didn't hold a one minute silence before yesterday's games. Horrendous.

Brilliant season. City ran out worthy winners in the end. My head still hurts from yesterday.

I think he'll struggle in the Championship. Caulker, Medel, Bellamy, Marshall could all go.

Mutch could go as well. I think Solskjaer will struggle, get sacked by the trigger-happy Vincent Tan and then move back to Norway. I think he'll get exposed.

No less than he deserves though, sold his soul for money.

Caulker is wanted by a fair few Prem teams apparently, same with Mutch. Going to be a grim summer for Cardiff.

Nice to see you're getting over the OGS rejection so well ;)

But you really think he'd have done that well at Villa? I'm not so sure. I think he's shown at Cardiff, that he's abit too nice for management because the players, quite rightly after Mackay's sacking, dropped off and he wasn't able to really motivate them.

WBA sack Pepe Mel. Shame, did admire him for the fact he made an attempt to speak English unlike Pochettino who speaks it well but is lazy and uses an interpreter.

I'm not bothered about him not taking over at Villa, he wouldn't have done any better than Lambert given the conditions. I just think he's a bellend.

What makes OGS a "bell-end"? I don't see this hate anywhere else I must say. Is it because he smiles alot lol, what?

I've explained before, though to make it clear:

He had a chance to join Villa, become part of a project with a chairman who made him a top priority target, but not have much money. Says no, citing reasons such as he didn't want to move his family out of Norway.

He then has the chance to join Cardiff - a club going nowhere, with a bellend of a chairman who disrespects club traditions and has no idea how to run a football club. Here's the dealbreaker though - this bellend has money. All of a sudden, moving his family out of Norway isn't an issue and Ole is very proud to be Cardiff's new manager.

He shows his immaturity and lack of professionalism by storming out of an interview when asked about Liverpool's title chances. All season long he looks like a man who has no idea what he's doing, Cardiff finish bottom of the table, and are going to lose their top stars like Caulker and Mutch this summer. Deary me.

For the record, I'm not pissed off that he turned down Villa. To be honest, I think he would've taken us down. At very best, he'd have been on par with when Lambert's done this season, and that's shite. It's the way in which Solskjaer has acted throughout his return to the Premier League that pisses me off, and I'm glad he's been relegated. I get that he's a United legend and that you'll excuse his faults (like Ryan Giggs) but he's been a top notch, self-entitled wanker since his return.

I get that he's a United legend and that you'll excuse his faults (like Ryan Giggs) but he's been a top notch, self-entitled wanker since his return.


So, it's pretty much that he turned Villa then. OK. You'd think he'd been acting like Paolo Di Canio that he deserves shit for his "behaviour". And you're completely exaggerating the Liverpool comment, his team had lost 6-3, it was the last question of the interview and he'd already answered the "will Liverpool win the title" comment at the pre-match press conference so him saying what he did, I don't see how it's such a big "offence" and a lack of professionalism and immaturity. Abit OTT me thinks. I've seen managers do worse and escape the lack of professionalism tag. I don't see through his faults (not that he's got any) but I've said before, that I think he'll struggle next season and needs to wise up to be a successful manager.

On another note, Ferdinand won't be offered a new deal by United. He was apparently told in the dressing room yesterday, in the presence of his team mates by Ed that he won't be getting a new deal. Piss poor if that's the case. TBF, he's exceeded my expectation as I felt he'd not be at the club around 2010 when he had his back injuries but to win two league titles since then shows his determination. I expect him to go to West Ham and finish off his career there.

Spain have such a good squad it's ridiculous. Can tell why though, they're much better at promoting youth football over there than we are here. English football can learn a lot from the Spanish setup.
