English Premier League 2012-13

Cant be bothered with the epl most games are a bore imo

 

I'd take a pay cut and move on for the sake of getting some playing time under my belt if I was in his position.

Backup to Shay Given, not exactly a story to inspire the grandchildren with, is it? I'm sure a good number of Championship sides would like him between the sticks.

 

A few Facebook pages saying ronaldinho has stated he wants to play in the perm this year. Any truth in this?

Never mind load of *, he just signed for a club in brazil in June.

 

Ledley king has retired from football. Was inevitable really, his knees are *. Shame about his injuries, could have been a top, top player. I would imagine he will go into some kind of coaching role at spurs now

 

Gutted for the guy. Really good on his day.

 

Premiership will be quality this season, I'm a La Liga fan in the full strongest league in the world arguement but next year it will be the Premiership.

Man United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City, Spurs are all going to be exceptional, especially if Spurs get Hulk and Adebayor as is rumoured.

I think Liverpool will surprise a lot of people this year as well. I hate Chelsea but I'm looking forward to seeing them this year, there team looks exceptional and set up for sexy football.

 

LEDLEY CALLS TIME, BUT IT'S FAR FROM GOODBYE

Posted 19 July 2012 11:00am

The Club can announce that one of its greatest players, Ledley King, has, as a result of injury, been forced to retire from the game. Far from departing the Club though, Ledley will be involved in a wide-ranging Ambassadorial role and be a champion for the regeneration of Tottenham.

The Club Captain,31, is one of a rare breed in modern football in being a one-club man, joining up at the age of 14 before progressing through the ranks to First Team football and subsequently becoming skipper.

Ledley turned professional in July 1998 and made his senior debut under a year later in May 1999 against Liverpool at Anfield. He made 323 First Team appearances in our colours, chipping in with 14 goals.

Notable high points came with the lifting of the Carling Cup in 2008 after victory over Chelsea at Wembley, with Ledley steering the team to Champions League qualification for the first time in our history in season 2009-10.

His performances for the Club were recognised on the international front and he made his England debut against Italy in March 2002. Ledley won 21 international caps in total and appeared in both the 2004 European Championships and the 2010 World Cup.

"Ledley has made a magnificent contribution to this Club - as a wonderful player, Captain and ambassador," said Chairman Daniel Levy. "It has been well documented how he has battled against injury over the years and it is testament to the character of the man how he managed to sustain such high standards of performance on the pitch, while providing such fine leadership.

"It is in an ambassadorial capacity that Ledley will continue, playing a crucial role in supporting the Club's work in the community and the ongoing regeneration of the Tottenham area, whilst also being a hugely positive role model for our younger players.

“I have been here since I was a boy, I have always considered it my Club and have always found it hard to imagine wearing the shirt of another team," reflected Ledley.

“I know that being a one-club man is a rarity these days, but I have always enjoyed being part of the set-up here and the challenge of putting this Club up with the elite where it should be.

“I would like to say thank you to everyone at the Club and to the fans. I have missed a lot of football over the years, but the Spurs fans have always been patient and incredibly supportive with me during difficult periods. Sadly my injuries and inability to train have now finally brought an end to my career.”

"I have been in Tottenham for around 17 years, having started at Spurs when I was 14. It is a second home for me and I pleased that I can continue to work within the Club and for the local community, especially after the devastation caused by the riots last year. I am already heavily involved with the work of Spurs Foundation and the new stadium scheme will be a major factor in the regeneration of the area, so I am delighted that I shall be part of that.'

Feel for the guy, he really could've been in the top 3 centre backs in the world.

 

My prediction:

1. Man Utd
2. Man City
3. Chelsea
4. Spurs
5. Arsenal
6. Everton
7. Liverpool


Sad news about Ledley King, always liked him but he struggled big time with his injuries over the years.

 

Anyone know the score with chelsea and seattle last night?

 

1. Chelsea
2. Utd
3. Citeh
4. Spurs
5. Arsenal
6. Newcastle
7. Liverpool

18. Swansea
19. Norwich
20. Southampton

 

Southampton bottom?

 

City 3rd?

 

4 - 2 chelsea,

 

I will only predict top 3 for next season. Always seem to think Man Utd are favourites heading into a season. I don't know why. Hate the *.

1st - Man utd
2nd - Man City
3rd - Chelsea

4th spot will be up for grabs.

 

1st Chelsea
2nd City
3rd United

 

No way are City finishing third this coming season. If anything, they will make a few more signings this summer and do even better next year. I fully expect them to retain the title.

 

Any fellow Liverpool fans going to the game against Roma at Fenway? hopefully better than the nightmare it was when the bhoys played here.

 

Chelsea
City
United

 

Arsenal confirm Laurent Koscielny has signed a new contract. Five-year-deal until 2017.

Theo Walcott,who has a year left on his Arsenal contract, admits talks with Arsene Wenger on a new deal are ongoing. Fancy he will stay put.
