Manchester City vs Queens Park Rangers

You are wrong, Pizarro and Hargreaves didn't get medals. I don't know why Pizarro wasn't used more often.. great passer.

Martin Keown coming on against Leicester on the final day of the 03/04 season for his 10th appearance.

I thought he made more appearances than 10.

So I guess this is how it feels tI be City, this is how it feels to be small...

I swear he did only make 10 or was it someone else?


*Researching*

Yeah, Keown only played 10 games in the 03/04 season. Only 3 starts.

I just thought he would of made more appearances, maybe that memorable act of thuggery over Van Niisterooy deludes me.

Not really, City had never had a season like this in the Premier League years in their life.. aka challenging for the title, it didn't feel this bad to be City as they were nowhere and that was that.

Just trying to be clever.

I know, but it wasn't very clever.

Think theres a rule which allows the club to pick about 2 - 3 players that didnt make 10 apps to get a medal or something

Check the far left, that's Pizarro (next to Silva) wearing a medal. Unless my mind is fucked and that's someone else I've mistaken for him.



You may be right about Hargreaves though, I only just noticed now that they didn't give one to everyone who got called up, the backup keepers didn't get one.

Didn't Pantilimon get one at the start of the celebrations? They gave him something in his hand I think.
Where's Weather130 when you need him

I thought he did, but I don't think he even played a single game. I think they just called some of them up, but didn't give them medals, because he's not wearing one there. That was the second bit though, he could have took it off in that time for some reason.

I would be gutted if I didn't get a medal.

The League Champions shall further receive 21
commemorative medals to be presented by the Club to its Manager and to
such of its Players and Officials as it thinks fit provided, in the case
of a Player, that he has that Season played in a minimum of 10 of its
League Matches. Additional medals may be presented with the consent of
the Board.
—2010–11 FA Premier League Handbook, Section B, paragraph 27. p.82.^[1]

This "special dispensation", at the discretion of the Premier League
Board, is usually reserved for reserve goalkeepers, and outfield players
who have played fewer than 10 games due to injury.

For the first season, the players received a miniature version of the trophy rather than a medal.

Coolio

Maybe Man City handed out chocolate medals to those who didn't play enough games

Think I'm going to have a go with Swansea

Strange thing when you compare medals for champions in the UK and champions rings in the USA. Over here everyone gets a ring even if you are in the office and never even get to attend a game. In hockey the winners names are engraved on the trophy (Stanley Cup) and that includes the entire organization gets their name on it.

Also what happened in between the final restart and the final whistle? The TV feed over here did not show what happened. Did QPR just hoof the ball down the field in frustration, or how did Joe Hart get the ball back so quickly?

Maybe it's Pantmillion in an outfield kit like they do on Fifa for the trophy celebrations? Pizarro has only made 5 appearances and 3 of those were in the Europa league.

They kicked off and lumped it towards the corner flag.

i still dont get that they did the same at 2-2! you have the ball just keep it even if its for 30 secs, make em chase it abit.

10 game rule is stupid, anyone in the squad deserves a medal

Classy cunt.

You didn't wind me up, why are you acting as if I went mad in my post? I responded to your comment in a fine way, and was calm.. you're just saying that because you know what I said is right.

I'll quickly post a reply to this joke.


I'm not American , so the only thing you mentioned that was correct was the fact that some Man Utd fans went to an away match. My comment was an obvious shit dig.. then you attempted to take a dig at me personally.. shame. I'd expect better from an Administrator. Plus, you mentioned before how you are emotionally unstable, so it does make sense for you to react to my post like you did.

They kicked off, then hoofed it as far down as possible while still making it go out for a throw in. They were fully camped in their box, so would have been difficult to keep possession. Still seemed weird though.

I've seen some other pictures and it is Pizarro, so he got a medal.
