    Go WBA...what a scalp....they can still stay up....bad that Man Utd gave the title on their own patch.

    Awful....i thought Arsenal were bad.

    Arsenal are the only side in England’s top 5 divisions without an away point in 2018. So, yeah, you’re pretty bad, mate.

    im sitting here like a neutral,not giving a shit.
    I think you'll find most neutrals don't not give a shit. They were roaring Toon on to win it due to Troopz's first law which states the more Arsenal lose to shit teams the funnier it is.
    Wonder what a different manager could have done with this group of players.
    Just look at the Ox. Going nowhere under Wenger. Going to Russia under Jurgen. If that's not Wenger's coaching, or lack thereof, exposed I don't know what is.

    My FPL team took a hell of a beating with this result. -4 to bring in Lukaku (c) for double gameweek.

    Imagine West Bromwich staying up!
    I'm afraid my imagination isn't that good.

    No you just lose to teams such as WBA without a crown being at stake. At least Utd were (almost) in the hunt.

    But seriously what an underwhelming season. Best league in the world? Yeah I bet all the Thais and Chinese are entranced by the thrilling spectacle of the league being done by April and decided in a match not that many of us even bothered to watch. Top 4 pretty much done as well unless Chelsea suddenly hit championship form, bottom 3 all over too as they are all too crap to bridge the gap from here. The only thing left to be decided is the exciting battle for 6th between Burnley and Arsenal.

    Still at least there's one team still providing edge of your seat excitement and standing tall where the likes of Barca, City and PSG have faltered.

    People have already forgotten about the title. Everyone's eyes are now on the serious business of crowning the kings of Europe (and I'm not referring to the Europa there).

    That's hardly surprising. Stewart Robson said this last year:
    “Arsene Wenger is almost more like a sports scientist and dietitian rather than a coach.

    “When I talk to old players, I ask if Wenger taught them anything about the game and they say, ‘not really but he’s a great sports scientist and dietitian’.

    “That’s not being a coach! That’s why Arsenal have had their problems, that’s why they haven’t won the Premier League for quite some while, because the technical work - which Wenger has insisted is all down to him - isn’t good enough.”


    Won't expect anything to change; he'll be there next season too. Rumour has it that he has already told his coaching staff he will not step down this summer. I predict Arsenal struggling to stay top 8 next season. Think Wolves will be a massive hit in the PL, and Burnley to keep getting results under Dyche.

    Totally forgot Swansea got a 1-1. Thought they lost against Everton. Would have been 8 points between them - with Man City and Chelsea the next two fixtures for Swansea. Not that West Brom's fixtures are any better, of course.

    Having any say at all in the title ‘race’, is beyond Arsenal’s remit these days, mate.

    I can't watch it though I recognise this should cause United players severe pain, and that pain should drive them to do the same next season.

    Can you see them overtaking City next year?

    As long as a team is competing there is a chance, unfortunately City had no pressure this season, pressure tests players and a team. Based on there losses last week some degree of pressure from another side may have buckled them further.

    Haha!

    Rosenborg with a poor performance away against Bodø-Glimt this evening. Managed to get a 0-1 win, but this was not the way you'd expect to see them play. Poor passing, slow movements, and surprisingly few chances. Will need to perform better if they want to have a chance at the title.

    Promoted city rivals (a bit stretch to call them that, maybe.) Ranheim is enjoying a surprisingly good start to their season, currently up on third place with a game less played than their big brother. Ranheim are conceding goals, but that's no issue with 10 goals scored in 4 matches. Impressive.

    Bollocks. Just as London were about to get sucked back into it. That's it now. Stoke and Soton had the chance to make a fight of it this weekend but pissed it up the wall. Can't really see where many more points are coming from for either of them.

    Both Stoke and Soton have difficult fixtures ahead. Won't be missing Shawcross FC as an Arsenal fan, but Soton is a different story. Then again, shame on them for firing Claude Puel. They'd be top ten with him.

    Am working the last sunday of the season. Was going to book it off but don't think it's worth it now. Bugger all for anyone to play for.

    Only thing of any slight interest is who'll finish 6th. My money's on Burnley. Dyche is such a legend. He has to become England manager at some point, right?

    I'm sure you would! But he's doing fantastic stuff at Burnley. Don't think he's finished with that project.

    Teams going down are getting cut adrift now :

    SOUTHAMPTON
    STOKE
    WBA

    I bid you farewell.

    And welcome home WOLVES !

    BTW I see Joe Fart has cocked up again...time he was sent to League 1 or somewhere I think.

    Wolves will be the team to watch next season, I'm sure of it. Only question now is how many of them we should fit into our FPL teams!

    And, of course, who'll finish second of Cardiff, Fulham or Aston Villa, and who'll win the playoff.
  • edited April 2018 Posts: 19,339
    I have a feeling it might be Fulham,i would prefer them or Villa over Neil bloody Warnock and Cardiff.

    Yep,the play-offs are going to be excellent this year,thank God Sky are showing them.
