Fantastic win for Sheff Wed at the weekend, we just need a point against Sunderland on Saturday to secure safety in the Championship (Hopefully we'll go for the 3 points though and end on a high). We have a slight safety net as well, as if we were to lose then Plymouth and Birmingham would both have to win to relegate us. Blackburn aren't safe yet, if us Plymouth and Birmingham all won and they lost they'd be down. It's still all to play for!

Leeds could salvage something through the playoffs.

That'd be one of the few positives in Yorkshire though. 3 relegated teams (Hudds are all but down).
 
Leeds, Leeds are falling apart, again! Bloody brilliant.

We've now won 3 league titles in 10 years. And an FA Cup, and a Community Shield, a Champions League Quarter Final and Conference League Semi Final. Not many teams can say the same in that period.

Champions again, ole ole!
 
So long as Bayern don't win it, I find it highly amusing that Kane has left Spurs in search for trophies and may end up with 0 this season.

Speaking of Spurs, Harry Winks has now become the 49th player to have left Spurs and won a trophy in the time since Spurs last won a trophy. Quite the stat!
 
Part of me would like Dortmund to win it. Purely on basis that Sanchoz would have a gleaming CL medal round his neck, whilst the weirdo at united you still be bald and jobless.

Can't see PSG stuttering at home.
 
So the championship is done and dusted.

Superb season by Ipswich. Punched above their weight. Should make the playoffs interesting. Couldn't pick 1 out of four to go. (Leeds can stay put if I'm honest.)

The question is. Is Birmingham sacking John Eustace and bringing in Wayne Rooney, one the worst managerial changes of all time?

Steve Kean surely at Blackburn takes the cake?

Blackburn was already in trouble when he took over from bisto Sam. Ok, he was appalling. But Sam wasn't exactly doing wonderful things. When Brum got Rooney in, their were in the play off places and doing alright. They are now in League 1.
 
Glad Wednesday are safe, hopefully we can have a better start next season. We're actually the first team in the championship to survive relegation after a 13-game winless start! Rohl has done an excellent job to turn us around and fingers crossed he stays.🤞
 
Plus you get the added bonus of being in the same league as the blunts.

Can't see Barnsley coming. Wheels fell off in march and they never got back on. Too many bizarre tactical changes from Collins in the end. Plus Devante cole. One of the leading goal scorers in League One. Has only scored 1 in 17. Midfield a little weak, 3-1 down away from home maybe too much for them.

On one hand the change was made at the start of the season. Can't be said with any conviction if they would've been in that position come now.

However, just goes to show how important it is to have people who know football in charge of the club. Getting in a big name when the club are doing well for zero reason beyond media points was always going to go one way.

Shame they sacked him really. Would've been amusing to see his media friends attempt to defend it.

But to sack a bloke. Clearly doing ok, who the supporters and players are behind, just because you want a name in place. Baffling.
