3-1 It looks like it could be game over for Wigan.

This nation should not be taken to be representative of my real-life views, nor should any of the nonsense I posted on here as a teenager.

Arsenal don't need to do anything now, they've got such a superior goal difference in comparison to Spurs.

I meant for the rest of this match.
Personally, I'd love for Newcastle to beat/draw Arsenal and have Spurs win, just to take revenge on behalf of Wigan, and it's always good to see Sunderland lose.
EDIT: Interestingly, Newcastle can still finish top ten.

I heard the Gooners singing something about him over the commentators today. The commenting crew may have mentioned it at the time, but I'm really not sure. I had to have the window minimized most of the time, and the audio was in spanish :(

Despite Arsenal relegating them today Wigan fans can take solace in the fact that since they've joined the Premier League they've won more trophies than Arsenal.

Yes,but they got relegated the season they won a trophy.
Distracted by cup glory:yes
I can take pride from the fact that Arsenal did better against Bayern Munich than Barcelona :p

Oh, Wigan...

Sad times.

Right, so new season coming up = new kits. I'm guessing we've all seen the lolworthy monstrosities that Warrior are rumoured to be putting out for Liverpool?

United's rumoured home for next season is...eh. But I quite like the rumoured away, it looks pretty nice. I like the all-white badge (same as how I love this season's away, but for the all-black. That and the fact that it genuinely is a nice top). Could almost be tempted.

I don't really like the small collar on the home jersey but the away one is nice. I'd like to see us with gold lettering and numbers next season.

I don't mind the purple one so much - and that's been pretty much confirmed, because of a PR goof which showed Coutinho wearing it on a video on the Youtube channel. The white one, however...yes. It looks like the aftermath of a night out in the city centre, so I guess they're trying to get close to the city?

I am a fan of the red one though. And the new keeper kit is excellent, if a very shrewd choice.

Man U: Home kit is much better than this season's gingam kit. The away kit tartan is awful.

Liverpool: Great home kit but both away: wtf? They must be fake.

Arsenal: I know it's sort of pathetic but I have never in my life bought anything made by Nike because they make Arsenal kits. I really like Adidas and I'm really pissed off that they are going to supply Arsenal's kit from next season. I haven't decided whether it will stop me from buying a new pair of Superstars or Gazelles yet. Maybe I'll buy a pair of Puma but probably not.
Anyway, Arsenal: Annoyingly good. But not as good as it would be in white with blue trim and a cockerel badge on it.

Spurs: Haven't seen them but navy home shorts please, Under Armor

Interesting point from @PremierLeague on Twitter:
premierleague: (1/3) Arsenal and Chelsea may have to meet in a play-off to determine third place in the Barclays Premier League http://t.co/x7U1lIdopm
premierleague: (2/3) For a play-off to occur Chelsea must draw v Everton on Sunday & Arsenal win at Newcastle by 1 goal, while scoring 2 more than Chelsea.
premierleague: (3/3) For example, if Chelsea v Everton ends 0-0, Arsenal must win 2-1 at Newcastle. If Chelsea draw 1-1, the Gunners must win 3-2 & so on.
