You must have watched a different game to me, I watched the one that Spurs had 58% of the possession.
Played off the park? LMAO!

Well, my beloved Wigan are relegated, although 53 minutes in and up 2-1, it looked like survival was on the cards. Ack.

Hope they can be competitive in the FA Cup final now.

No they are not.
2 games to play and they are within 3 points of several sides.
Will all come down to last day of season against Villa I reckon, cant see them getting anything from Arsenal next week

Needed a point minimum last night. Just my thoughts.

Still think you are a chance to stay up.
Cant see Norwich getting another point so 3 points might be enough for you.
Could all come down to GD

Fergie calls it a day.
Jim, I'll let you list the achievements

Fergie calls it a day.
Jim, I'll let you list the achievements

There isnt enough room
We were a basket case when he arrived at the club and he turned us back into a powerhouse.
For the record though off the top of my head:
EPL 13
FA CUP 5
League Cup 4
Champions League 2
Cup Winners Cup 1
UEFA Super Cup 1
Intercontinenal Cup 1
World Club Cup 1
Not sure on Community Shields, think it might be 9 or 10
Not to mention all the individual awards such as Manager of the year and World Manager of the year.
Will leave the club having coached the club in 1499 games, would of been nice to get to 1500

[Wedgie]

Pretty handy effort that.

First Thatcher dies, then Ferguson retires. Somewhere there is a Scouser with a lamp and one wish left.

Managerial
Ferguson was made an Inaugural Inductee of the English Football Hall of Fame in 2002 in recognition of his impact on the English game as a manager. In 2003, Ferguson became an inaugural recipient of the FA Coaching Diploma, awarded to all coaches who had at least ten years' experience of being a manager or head coach.[119]
He is the Vice-President of the National Football Museum, based in Manchester,[120] and a member of the Executive Committee of the League Managers Association.[121]
In addition to being the only manager to win the top league honours, and the 'Double', north and south of the England–Scotland border (winning the Premier League with Manchester United, and the Scottish Premier Division with Aberdeen), he is also the last manager to win the Scottish championship with a non Old Firm team, achieving this in the 1984–85 season with Aberdeen. He is also the only manager in English football to have managed to finish in the top three league places in 20 consecutive seasons, since the 1991–92 season.
On 5 November 2011, the Old Trafford North Stand was officially renamed the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand in honour of his 25 years as manager of Manchester United.[122]
He has won 49 trophies as a manager, making him the most successful British football manager in history.[123]

Aston Villa midfielder Stiliyan Petrov has announced his retirement from the game amidst an ongoing battle with acute leukaemia.

A terrific clubman who was highly respected by players and fans alike.

Sad story, stuff like this always is .. What a brilliant and thoughtful outlook though .. Class act!

[Il Duce]

Its offical David Moyes the Man Utd manager

I see Roberto Martinez taking over at Everton.

I only put this here cause no one else had.

Just imagine how good he would of been at United
Fergie still claims one of his biggest regrets was failing to land him, even though we tried several times over the years
Fantastic player

Sad to see Wigan go down even though they have rode their luck for a few years.
Unfortunately I cant see them back for awhile.
Hopefully Martinez finds a job in the EPL, good manager.
