But as it stands the PL this season is a bit of a Farmer's League as it has been the last few years with City and Liverpool - except this season there's City and Arsenal and then a bunch of teams miles below and to close that gap will take huge investment.
    Don’t buy into the “farmers league “ rubbish ffs .
    Brentford beat City, everyone beats Utd and Liverpool . Arsenal get battered every now and again . Newcastle hand out beatings and get beat in equal measures . Aston Villa are a great team in waiting , Chelsea will be back , Spurs are ……………well, you know .
    My point is that this league is still the best about . Don’t be fooled by the media that would have you believe it’s boring .

    Some of those Leicester players will also be tempting. Vardy an interesting one.

    Anything but boring, the fact that the current match is still not a done deal despite two goals in it is testament to the same.

    They are but he’s never a top six player which is why he’s still at Southampton. Doesn’t dominate games at all, even against teams at the bottom.

    Gonna be a long end to the game for Forest now. The last goal chalked off should have stood if only for the celebration.

    What a game, made up for Forest, they had more fight in them.

    Some great games today. Southampton heading the same way as the Titanic and Leeds and Leicester dependent on other results.

    Forest and Everton in charge of their own destiny, but Everton’s next game against Man City is a worry for me and could change things.

    Come on an easy three points against a dejected City after they get hammered tomorrow and morale is low.

    Tell you what, If Everton stay up ( today May have done that admittedly) first round in me by the new ground, and one in Jurgens bar after that.

    If they go down, pint on you in in central Manchester.

    The vultures are starting to circle!

    Loads of our players are walking straight out…. Soyuncu and Tielemans

    Many in final years of contact…. Maddison etc.

    It’ll be a bloodbath and bizarrely there will lots of good players available who managed to get the club they currently play for relegated

    Always the case. I think Vardy will stay though and from experience, it's goals that gets you out of the Championship.

    Not looking good from a Leeds perspective after last night's results. Really can`t see Leeds staying up, 2 wins and a draw would probably do it but that's pie in the sky.

    Sadly Leeds are where they belong on recent form, the table isn`t lying. Brittle defence and an inability to convert chances into goals, no surprise that they'll end up in the bottom 3.

  17. #4017
    I still have a sneaky suspicion that Leicester will survive...

    A last day of the season match at home to a West Ham team that really should have nothing to play for and (touch wood) a Europa Conference League final a week or so later... a few key players left out with a bit of a cold etc. Sounds like the ideal final day fixture, and with a much better goal difference...

    Forest haven't won away since Moses was a lad and their only remaining home game is against Arsenal.

    As for Leeds, with Newcastle, West Ham and Spurs to play, that's really anyone's guess. With big Sam at the helm I don't expect much expansive attacking football but he'll try and make them hard to beat and nick a goal.

    Obviously Forest will now go and stick 3 past Chelsea and render all that speculation pointless.

    A reminder...
    1998/99 season Arsenal beat Man United 3-0 in the Charity Shield, 3-0 at Highbury and drew 1-1 at Old Trafford, Man United beat Arsenal in the FA Cup semi-final and then went on to win the Treble.
    2004/05 season Arsenal look invincible again, then got cheated in the "50th" game at Old Trafford, from then on Arsenal's form was erratic until they were beaten fair and square by Man United at Highbury. Chelsea became league champions without beating Arsenal home and away, but Arsenal finished 2nd in the league, won the FA Cup against Man United who came 3rd in the league.

    Come on Newcastle, get your act together.

    The mighty blues are due to take a thumping tomorrow at the hands of Man City.

    We need Leicester, Forest and Leeds to suffer a similar fate.

    So come on Newcastle…

    We’ll have to agree to disagree there Ken, how do you think I felt on Monday when your lot stuffed Brighton AND Forest beat Southampton?

    Come on Leeds!

    Edit : I still think Newcastle will get at least a draw here.

    Bamford is a total waste of space. He's just totally killed the mood and that penalty was appalling.

    A draw at best depending on which team he puts out. I’m sure the big names will be rested for the CL, but his subs bench is stronger than most PL first teams.

    I’ve just been looking at the table again and if West Ham don’t best Brentford tomorrow, they’ve got Leeds and Leicester left to play. It’s not inconceivable that they could still be the third team relegated.

    No, I take that back. With a much superior goal difference, they’d need to be thrashed three times for Leeds to go above them.

    Great result for Forest, who still control their own destiny. Hopefully we will still be in that position after the weekends games as our last two matches are Wolves and Bournemouth who are both safe and will probably turn up in their flip flops.

    I think Everton have the easiest final two games (on paper) after we have got past the City game tomorrow. Don’t expect Leicester to get any points from their game with Liverpool on Monday.

    Pochettino to Chelsea seems to be a done deal now for the start of next season.
    I hope he’s given a free rein on the way the team is run . There’s too much talent there who are currently playing on instinct to have such a car crash of a season again , surely?
    Good to see Raheem back on the scoresheet too .
    Hurry up back Chelsea ffs .

    I think Chelsea have entered the Arsenal / Man Utd zone, time to have a clearout and start rebuilding and it won’t be quick.

    Arsenal are now heading in the right direction and Utd seem to have a sensible manager at long last, Chelsea need to establish some stability.

    Newcastle should get stronger if they can attract the right signings - Ward-Prowse?

    I’m sure Liverpool will come back next season, so a keen scrap for those top 4 places.

    Does make a joke of the CL if you can finish 5th and be regarded as a champion.

    It’s all about money these days. I had more respect for the European cup winners, one team from each country and a straight knock out competition.

    They’ve got a game plan and have been organised. That’s all you can do against the Harlem Globetrotters.
