Chelsea to be stripped of Premier League crown
Posted by: Guido Fawkes on 11 May 2010
In an amazing turnaround Chelsea may not be champions after all. News broke today that they may have to concede the Premier League title to Manchester. This is the first time in history that the team with the most points will not become the champions.
The outgoing champions will retain the trophy for a further 5 months while the two Manchester teams, City and United, negotiate a coalition. City owners offered to buy their neighbours and, as a result, claim the best combined results for each game. Sir Alex said he was in favour and this would unite the two halves of Manchester and suggested the combined team should simply be call United.
However, Chelsea are believed to be having talks with Tottenham about a London coalition that could scupper the Manchester plans. Arsenal have also been rumoured to want to talk.
A premier league spokesman suggested coalitions were the way forward and that statements like the one made by Kenny Dalglish, when he managed Liverpool to the title - we won it because we got the more points than the other teams - were outdated and not the way football should be in the future. The spokesman talked of the excitement of motor racing where you watch the outcome on the day and then can wait up to two weeks to find out who has won.
I was quite surprised when I read about this, but I guess it is just the spirit of the age.
Now who could we coalesce with to get promotion.

Sign of the times. 
ROTF - LOL LOL LOL
As to who we (ITFC) could coalesce with, that's a sticky one - in the spirit of the times, you're not suggesting the folks at the end of the A140 are you...???!!!!

That assumes there are 11 English players in the Premier League - perhaps we could call the team France or Spain - that would probably workquote:Perhaps we could amalgamate the lot and call the result the England Team!
At least my team is exempt from your cull, George, as what we do on the field and Portman Road, could scarcely be called football. However, a mad person like me may well be tempted to start going again next season, as form a penance for all those posts I've written criticising Phil C.
