EPL 2008-09 / Richmond FC Fantasy League Version 3

The poor Tigers in the EPL look to be heading south as well. Newcastle winning last night means Hull City are now in the bottom 3  .

Wigan 1 Man United 2

Looks like the title is heading to Old Trafford again.
Man Utd needs only 1 point in two games against Arsenal on Saturday night and Hull on the last day.

Yep it looks done and dusted at both ends of the table. I know Newcastle and Hull are on the same points but Hull has been in free fall for months are a good start. They just can't get any points. Middlesbrough and West Brom the other two to go down. I'm not a Wolves fan but good to see them back in the EPL next season. At there'll be Y&B running around.

Man Utd are EPL champions again. Equal now with Liverpool on 18 league titles each.

At the relegation end, Hull got a point at Bolton to jump out of the bottom 3 and ahead of Newcastle who lost at home to Fulham.

Good to see another newbie in the EPL.

Newcastle Utd is a lot like Richmond. A big supported club that can't get its act together because of off-field garbage and recruiting finished top-ups. Thank god we don't have relegation in the AFL.

[mightytiges]

Go Barca lol. At least Liverpool fans like TM will have something to smile about today.

[mightytiges]

Even game so far as the 1-1 scoreline suggests. Poor defending by Everton to let Chelsea equalise. Cahill's been  fairly quiet in that first half. Be great if he can score.

You don't need to tank when you can go out in the market and buy Ronaldo and Kaka for $280m  . Real Madrid are saying what world recession lol. The Ronaldo transfer out of the EPL might give Liverpool finally a shot at the title. I guess it depends now on what Fergie does with the $162m on the Man Utd squad.
