May 7, 20214 yr Author Surely Leicester can't throw away a Top 4 finish again. Don't think they will as long as they beat Utd on Tuesday, which is entirely plausible. I think Liverpool have too much to do personally, I can't see us winning 4 games, never mind 5.
May 8, 20214 yr Fantastic result for Leeds against Tottenham today! Makes the loss against Brighton look even more bizarre though.
May 8, 20214 yr Author Fantastic result for Leeds against Tottenham today! Makes the loss against Brighton look even more bizarre though. Not really, Spurs are awful. Spurs looked like a team that had never played together, their defence was so off it. Leeds are well coached and I've no idea what Mason was trying to do today! Brighton are really well coached, Bielsa can struggle against these managers sometimes.
May 8, 20214 yr Chelsea beat City then, next season could be very interesting with United and Chelsea getting stronger and this city team is good but not unbeatable like the first team Pep built!

May 8, 20214 yr Author Chelsea beat City then, next season could be very interesting with United and Chelsea getting stronger and this city team is good but not unbeatable like the first team Pep built! Yeah next season will be interesting for sure. It's hard to say right now really for example I am sure in the summer all the talk will be about City/Chelsea and probably Utd too. Hard to say how good or bad Liverpool are, but suspect we will be a lot closer considering we were absolutely dreadful for 3 months and still have a chance of Top 4. The 2 CBs we signed in Janaury to replace the 3 injured CBs are now injured :lol: Never known anything like this :lol:
May 8, 20214 yr I seen Williams and Nat started tonight - glad he kept Fab in the midfield as we need him there. Nat Phillips is a cult fav of mine after this season as he’s done really well being thrown in at the back all things considered, not saying he’s good enough but he’s outperformed my expectations of an unknown that he was for me. Reminds me of Carra with the commitment in the headers etc. Looking forward to seeing Thiagos first goal on motd here

Reminds me of Carra with the commitment in the headers etc. Looking forward to seeing Thiagos first goal on motd here Phillips has certainly grown a lot as a defender. I'm not sure we drop points against both Leeds and Newcastle if he was on the field. We have really struggled areially this season without Virgil and Matip. Not good enough to play week in week out for our system, but he's going to have a good career that's for sure.
May 9, 20214 yr West Brom are relegated after losing 3-1 to Arsenal. Is anyone going to miss them? it's the 5th time they've been relegated from the Premier League. If they come straight back up I wouldn't be surprised if number 6 would soon follow.
May 9, 20214 yr Author West Brom are relegated after losing 3-1 to Arsenal. Is anyone going to miss them? it's the 5th time they've been relegated from the Premier League. If they come straight back up I wouldn't be surprised if number 6 would soon follow. Absolutely not, they only turn up for the big games! Most of their better players are on loan this season, I think they will struggle to come straight back up. Big Sam will only stay if the owners commit to spending.
May 9, 20214 yr Big Sam will leave, no way I can see him managing in the championship! Farewell West Brom it’s been short again, I predicted this at the start of the season with Billic going in mid season, why couldn’t Brentford have come up!!

Farewell West Brom it’s been short again, I predicted this at the start of the season with Billic going in mid season, why couldn’t Brentford have come up!! I could see him leaving, otherwise I am not sure where his next job is coming from. Getting West Brom relegated lowers his stock a little and the current trend tends to be for young, progressive managers. He won't get the Palace job when Hodgson leaves this summer most likely and if any of the Premier League clubs to sack their managers would he be appointed there? Surely Burnley is the only one and of the clubs coming up - not sure he would ever get a job there if they switched managers. I also could be completely wrong and it might be a covid thing, but owners seem to be a lot less knee-jerkey with firing managers recently. Only 3 managers sacked this season I think?

Big Sam will only stay if the owners commit to spending. I wont miss them either, they don't really add much to be honest. I watch highlights of The Championship and I'm not looking forward to seeing them there either :lol: , hopefully it will be at least 10 years until they're back in the Premier League but teams like them always find their way back soon enough. Even back when they were managed by Gary Megson they were not a side that were easy on the eye.

May 10, 20214 yr I also could be completely wrong and it might be a covid thing, but owners seem to be a lot less knee-jerkey with firing managers recently. Only 3 managers sacked this season I think? 4 - Lampard, Mourinho, Bilic & Wilder. But yeah must be the lowest in many many years. Probably also down to clubs not wanting to pay off their contracts with them making less money than normal.
