I think it'll be even more interesting next year.

Chelsea have an massive ageing squad and Abramovitch doesn't seem as keen to put his hands in his pockets as much these days.
Man Utd riddled with debt
Liverpool basically starting again with a new manager AND no money.
Arsenal trying to hold onto Fabregas and failing while buying a few no name teenagers to compensate.

I think it'll be much more open next season.

Looking at it from that perspective both Man.City and Tottenham are the best two to take advantage with the quality of their squads. Both Aston Villa and Everton would be other potentials, largely due to their strong first team line-ups and performances over recent seasons.

It is such a good race, something that I haven't seen for awhile. The race for fourth is more entertaining than first (probably because the teams we support though)

Just good to see some action away from United, Chelsea and Gunners.

Well I'm a Leeds supporter really but City are my second team and hope they get 4th.

I hope so too and think it can be done.

BBC Sport - Football - Fulham 4-1 Juventus (agg 5-4)

I believe the phrase 'holy shit' comes to mind. Fantastic result, and I like seeing smaller teams make our Premier League look good in Europe like this.

Fucking hell

I've always had a soft spot for Fulham. Proper footballing team with a really under-rated manager who usually put on some attractive games.

It would be nice to see them win something big.

Chelsea, yep.
Man United, come on the Red Knights.
Liverpool will keep Rafa Benitez because they can't afford to sack him. Torres might want a move to a bigger club and a club that's in Europe.
Arsenal will be interesting to see what happens there.

United have Liverpool on Sunday, can't wait. I always look forward to this one fixture, the atmosphere is always brilliant. I hope it'll be a memorable trip down to OT and a win could march the lads on to another title. Win against Liverpool, beat City away, draw against Chelsea. And win the rest and I think we've made history.

The Premier League is just a conglomerate of brands nowadays. Ironic for me to complain as I follow Man City who are a prime example of buying success...

All about Leeds in league one though, when we finally make it back to the premier league (whenever that will be ) we'll show you how success is really earnt, through natural talent and hard work. MOT!

Which in turn is ironic of you to say, considering your lack of success.
Delusions of grandeur from the blue camp once more.

I support Leeds, but I'm fan of City, if that makes sense. I watch City matches whenever I can because they're an exciting team to watch but my heart is white.

You can't really say Leeds have had a lack of success though, unless you've only been into football the past two years. Delusions of grandeur? Not really, just that we are champions, champions of Europe!

Also, 1-0, nice one Beckford. MOT.
