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.

A stupid rule. Just use head-to-head records. Even though that means Chelsea would finish above us.

lol. you know, it never occurred to me before that he must have once actually had hair. Same with Zidane, actually.
But the killer for me was the complete lack of va-va-voom possessed by a 20 year old Thierry. It was... I don't even know, man.

Yeah, Coleman looks like he's really turned up to play this year, and Moyes has used him well.


Who else has done well?

Kevin Mirallas. He didn't start off as under-the-radar as Coleman did, but boy has he been good. Shame he had all that injury trouble there once the season got going, but good to see him back in good health for the last few matches of the season. He'll be a fun one to watch. At £6m he might be my "bargain buy of the season"

Good call...he certainly made an impression.

Worst signing of the season in the EPL? Samba. Easily.

I'm going to say Torres, just because I don't think he's used up all his "worst signing" points from two years ago yet.

Danny Graham has been pretty useless too, he still hasn't scored for Sunderland.

If we're factoring in wages then Samba probably wins, however he at least had moments when he looked half decent. I can't say the same for Danny Graham.

I know...however at 50 million it is, admittedly, hard to discard.

To be fair to Torres though...he has gotten on with it and not been a total prima dona...

It's worst signings though. Sunderland signed him and he's been awful for them.
