Not sure what happened to Bayern

Bears For Life
They became German champion too early and killed their own season by taking away their own rhythm. They're still by far the best team in the world, but they beat themselves. I'm not saying in the Real game. They lost well deserved there. They did it a couple weeks eearlier after becoming German champion. They couldn't get the motor running again afterwards. If they had never stopped the motor they would've beaten Real easily.
Now they (we) will get beaten up big time by Dortmund in the German cup final, too.
And so a great season is ruined. Not by other teams, but by themselves...
I can think of two who were in the wall today.
As an Everton fan. I hope City knock us off tonight. There's absolutely no fucking way I want to see Liverpool win the title. Fuck pride, fuck 4th place, fuck CL. Any team other than Liverpool for the title.
I got dragged to Villa Park today for a day out in the sun with my BFFF and another mate who decided to go to this game thinking it might be crucial for survival, and they've pretty much got the job done. There were rumblings of discontent over the quality (or lack thereof) of some of the play, but my mate was forced to concede that if they could play rubbish but score 3 goals every home game, they'd take it. I did think it was amusing when they were singing the "Empty seats, my lord" verse of the Paul McGrath song to the Hull fans considering they only managed a 37K attendance at their 43K capacity ground and there was a whole section they didn't bother selling tickets for, and the constant singing about lower division local rival Birmingham City smacks of "small club mentality" when they could be singing about their own team/players, but whatever. A lot more fun than went to see them lose to City a year ago March.
Fulham and Cardiff both got relegated today. Under normal circumstances I wouldn't hold anything against either club but both have been run like jokes this year and the men running them deserve the ignominy of relegation to see the error of their ways. Hopefully Vincent Tan fucks off so the Bluebirds can go back to being blue, and Fulham realize that "three managers during the course of a single season" is never a good idea. Feel bad for Scotty Parker, who I admired when he was at other clubs and adored when he was at Tottenham. What a pro.
As for my lot.... Sherwood will still end up with the best win/loss % of any Spurs manager in the Prem era assuming a) we beat Villa and b) he loses his job in the summer... but that's the point, he'll lose it. Because Levy, the man who understands business but not football and has no concept of patience, will relieve him because he thinks there is a quick fix out there, a manager with European pedigree with both the nous to get a club into the Champions League, and the desire to come and do it for Spurs. There isn't. I'm now thinking Moyes, with his decade of experience of doing OK on a budget, is actually the right man for Villa and the best bloke for us , as I said before, would be someone like Laudrup. De Boer is being rumoured but I even think he could realistically do better than us. Who knows. Beat Villa and we finish the season only 3 points worse off than last year, which isn't bad considering the ridiculous amount of upheaval, new players, managerial change and rumours and the fact we've had constant revolving door centrebacks due to injuries.
I have zero interest in anything you have to say about the club I support, and I say I rather than we because I've chosen the word support, and since the day you declared your interest in Spurs in this thread, I haven't seen you write a single supportive sentiment.

Could have been worse Stiffy, you could have been at OT. I've managed 7 games this season at OT and surprisingly this was the first defeat I've seen.
You've been very lucky by the sounds of things then.
A combination of work issues and planning an emigration that never happened meant my trips to grounds were restricted this season but I managed to get to 5 games and see the team I wanted to win victorious every time :
Villa 0-4 Spurs
Spurs 3-0 Stoke
Spurs 2-0 Palace
Spurs 3-2 Southampton
Villa 3-1 Hull (dirty)
Next season I will make a fair few trips down the Lane since I will have Saturdays/Sundays off, my mate is a Leicester fan so we're doing Leicester away, I shall apply for Villa Park and the Hawthorns again and maybe even Anfield, and since I'm moving back to Mancunia I will try and get to United away, City away and Burnley away too. I've got a friend of a friend in Lewes so if Brighton were to win the Play-Offs (imagine that) then Brighton v Spurs I will try and go to as well.
Villa?? Their defence is completely worthless. They couldn't even keep Hull out on Saturday. They got beat at home by Fulham and stuffed by Stoke and Swansea. Man City playing for the title will cut them to fucking ribbons. I might see what the odds are for City with a -2 start and put a wedge on, because they should penetrate Clark, Baker et al four, five times or more.
Looking forward to more scouse tears this weekend. Not happy about shitty wining the title but it is the lesser of the two evils. United to win the treble next season.
Domestic treble?
You still might be in with a shout of winning the Thursday Cup. We're going to lose to Villa on purpose, all you need to do to nick our 6th spot is win at St Marys.
Please win at St Marys. I'm sick of that shit. I'd rather watch MasterChef on Thursdays than another away game with Lokomotiv Spastik.
Spurs will have the golden dogshit place in the Eurocrap league. United forever.
Steve Gerrard, Gerrard....
He fell on his fucking arse...
He gave it to Demba Ba....
Steve Gerrard, Gerrard.
Well done Man City for winning the title, out of four clubs that could have done it this year, I probably hate you the least.
Typically Aston Villa Nil could not do us the favour of preventing passage into the Pointless Distraction cup. I take solace in the fact we have now beaten them by an aggregate score of 15-0 in the last five meetings in league and cup, and the last time they did beat us, Nigel Reo-Coker scored, which tells you how long ago it was.
2-0 (Caulker, Lennon)
4-0 (Defoe, Bale 3)
4-0 (Defoe 2, Paulinho, Chadli)
2-0 (Townsend, Soldado)
3-0 (Paulinho, o.g., Adebayor)
That looks brilliant to me, having a Villa fan for a best mate. Aston Villa Nil.

That's the "glass half full" way of looking at it.
You wouldn't have missed him half as much, if Özil had shown half the value of how much he cost. He looked like he couldn't be bothered in that Liverpool game.
larss
I'm watching some specialist videos

It's still better than some North London clubs I could mention.
And a top 4 finish in every one of his 18 seasons at Arsenal is pretty bloody impressive for a manager even if we have not managed any silverware for the past 10 years.
