Part of me is waiting on the BBC to report it to fully believe it.

Holy poo!!!!!!!!!!!

The Chicago Fire will play host to seven-time English Premier League champion Aston Villa in an international friendly on July 21 at Toyota Park.

Aston Villa, which has won seven English Premier League titles and seven FA Cups, will make its first trip to Chicago. This is the second straight year the Fire will host an English Premier League team. They lost to Manchester United at Soldier Field last year.

Holy poo, no way man. Thanks for the update.

I'm looking at it as a once in a lifetime opportunity, so piss off.

I don't even know how to react.

BIRMINGHAM, England -- Aston Villa says club captain Stiliyan Petrov has been diagnosed with acute leukemia.
The Premier League club says the 32-year-old Bulgaria midfielder developed a fever following last Saturday's game against Arsenal and underwent tests. The leukemia diagnosis was confirmed Friday.

That's horrible. My grandpa passed away from leukemia 5 years ago. Hope he pulls through. His career is over tho.

The Champs league race (non-Manchester edition) has all of the sudden gotten interesting with 4 teams within 3 points. Personally it would be cool if Newcastle ends up with one of those spots, since that would be the closest thing to an uprising.

Chelsea have pretty rough schedule to finish the season. Chelsea plays Arsenal, Fulham, Newcastle, Liverpool.

Newcastle has better schedule only Chelsea and City are 2 hard teams.

Arsenal has only Chelsea and City as well

Spurs have a cake walk

I think its between Arsenal and Newcastle. If Arsenal wins tomorrow against City, the race is pretty much over.

Wow... City really sunk to new low. Arsenal should of scored at least 4 goals. Balotteli is an idiot and need to be kicked out from EPL. Manchester City quit as a team. That's what happens when you signs all superstars and don't give em playing time.

Wigan 1, Man U 0 - good day for them and QPR as both win to get out of relegationland.

Fox is amping up the coverage of the last day of the season with games all over their channels

As for next season - Reading has clinched one of the promotion spots and Southampton is close, needing 2 points, a West Ham loss/tie in the last 2 games, or goal differential should they end up tied

Man City vs Man United. I read that 650 million will be tuning in to the game. It's on ESPN 2 and ESPN 3.

The city of Manchester banned the sale of alcohol prior to the game. You know your sport is intense when things like that happen.

fug Manchester City. Manchester City is ruining soccer as we know it, inflating player cost and hoarding all superstars.
