Football Banter

whenever i start to feel sorry for myself, i have to remind myself of how good we've had it and remember those that are less fortunate

A long shot but QPR could get a draw nothing is certain in football but it has to be said you threw it away in the Everton match

agreed. 4-2 up at home with less than 10 minutes to go - that will be a learning experience for the younger players. no matter what happens i fancy our chances next season and can't see City dominating as we have.

Relegation
Bolton must be kicking themselves. 2-0 up with 15 minutes left while QPR were drawing 0-0! but if they win away to Stoke they will have a great chance of staying up

Top 4
does anyone want to qualify for the Champions League????

The first point I have in bold, you need to sign a midfielder or two to win the title next season. I have heard Kagawa's name mentioned and Herrea of Atletic Bilbao is another terrific player.

Wolves we already know is gone, Blackburn I think will get relegated and I still think QPR will go down.

On who will qualify for the Champions League, come on the magpies

there is a slight chance Fletcher will be back next season, but we can't have the amount of injuries we've had this season. we had half our squad out in the first half! Vidic will be back. Anderson has been out most of the season. Valencia only came back recently.

i think we will strengthen, but we don't need much (for the league - europe might be different!)

So if Man United had a fully fit squad, who would be in your midfield?

i don't know! we've got so many midfielders! Young/Nani left, Valencia right and i would change who was in the middle depending on who we were up against.

Heres a round up of whats going on in the other major leagues around Europe.

In La Liga, it was a fair well home for Pep Guardiola, who is leaving Barcelona at the end of the season and they did it in style beating their local rivals Espanyol 4-0 with Messi scoring a hat trick, thats his 20th Barcelona hat trick. Real Madrid, who have already won La Liga beat relegation threatened Granada 1-2 after a last minute own goal gifted them the winner. Malaga, Athletico Madrid, Mallorca and Levante will fight it out for the las remaining Champions League spot. Granada, Villareal, Rayo Vallecano and Real Zaragoza will fight it out in the last game of the season to fight to stay in the top division.

In Serie A, Juventus were crowned champions of Italy after they won 0-2 at Cagliari and AC Milan lost the Milan derby to Inter Milan 4-2. Juventus are still unbeaten in the league with one game to go. Its tight in the fight for the last remaining Champions League spot with Udinese, Lazio, Napoli and Inter Milan fighting it out in the last game of the season. Leece, Novarra and Cesena are relegated.

In the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund won Bundesliga with a record points total of 81 points. Bayern Munich, Schalke and Borussia Monchengladbach qualify for the Champions League. Hertha Berlina, Cologne and Kaiserslautern are relegated.

In Ligue 1, PSG and Montpellier are neck and neck at the top of the table, but Montpellier have a game in hand. Lille look likely to qualify for the Champions League. Nice, AC Ajaccio, Brest, Auxerre, Dijon, Sochaux are still fighting it out to avoid relegation
