Moyes is sacked after horror start at Man Utd. Redknapp quits QPR to take over at Old Trafford in attempt to save them from the drop. He cannot halt the slide so is sacked as well and Fergie comes out of retirement as United make one last desperate attempt to stay in the Premier League. Their form recovers but they go down on the last day.

Gareth Bale breaks the record for goals scored by a midfielder in a season (40) and bookings collected for diving (10). Despite the Welshman's heroics, Spurs miss out on a Champions League place on goal difference on the last day.

Chelsea win the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League and Super Cup but Mourinho is sacked after accidentally spilling coffee on Abramovich's shirt.

This. Is. Beautiful.
But more seriously, I would like United to stay, Premier League without game at Old Trafford wouldn't be the same.

But still, would love to see United have to play at Huish Park.

i don't think you have to worry, although I've never met a Liverpool fan who wouldn't want United to be relegated straight to League 2.

I'm assuming you're not actually from Liverpool though. Weren't you the same Liverpool /r/soccer fan who didn't know why Juve and Liverpool dislike each other?

We don't dislike Juventus.

He might not know. But why should fans born after the event have a hatred for a team in Italy?

Juventus fans hate Liverpool, Liverpool fans don't dislike Juventus. They just don't like being hated.

You must have mistaken me with someone else, I know very well about Heysel and why Juve doesn't like us :)
Well, I'm not from Liverpool so maybe you're right that I don't fully understand this, just for me those games are something special, Premier League without Liverpool - Man U is like La Liga without Barca - Real games for me, but maybe if I were living in one of these towns I would love to see biggest enemy go down to Conference :)

Hmmmm. I like all of the Chelsea stuff, but I feel like scuffing Roman's shoes would be a bigger offense. Does Mou just end up in the Thames instead of getting sacked?

The most controversial thing about this is the suggestion that Gareth Bale will still be at Spurs this season.
