Premier League final day
15 mins into the second half and Chelsea are blowing their Champions League chances 2 - 0 down at Villa.
Liverpool and Leicester winning to take 3rd and 4th at the moment.
Could all change with a single goal at Leicester
Arsenal pinching the final European place from Spurs as it stands

Re: Premier League final day
Leicester 2 - 2 Spurs
Villa 2 - 1 Chelsea
Chelsea still losing but now up to 4th because Leicester not winning

Re: Premier League final day
Bale
Leicester 2 - 3 Spurs (87 mins)
Leicester out of CL, Spurs back above Arsenal and in to Europe

Re: Premier League final day
Great final day, goals and dram galore

Re: Premier League final day
FIVE minutes added on at the King Power. Leicester score and Villa hold on for Leicester Champions League, but it doesn't look likely.
Football should be, and usually is, so easy with a billionaire owner and a home stadium in London, Liverpool or Manchester.

Bale scores again 90+5

Leicester needed to win. GD was against them, even with Chelsea losing

Re: Premier League final day
First time I’ve not wanted Bale to score but he was so clinical and took both goals with style.
-
Re: Premier League final day
What a pisser for Leicester, I’d have preferred them to get a Champions League place over any of the others. Only themselves to blame I s’pose though, losing at home to a resurgent Newcastle did for them but they should be winning games like that. Is the FA Cup scant reward for a decent season? Shame how the Cup has been devalued somewhat.

Re: Premier League final day
Bale finishes on 11 Premier League goals and 2 assists from 20 appearances. He's up there with Mane and Rashford in 13 and 17 fewer games.
Amazingly, it's his second best goal-scoring season in the Premier League with his previous second best standing at 9 Premier League goals.

Leicester hard done by with the decisive Bale first goal, handball by Kane I thought and could not understand why they went to VAR and allowed it.
Handball, he gained an advantage and they scored within a couple of seconds.
I really don't know what is and what isn't hand ball any more :shrug:

Just shows what a bit of trust in him does. Hitting form perfectly in time for the Euros. Beautiful

4 richest remain 4 richest, 2 of last year's promoted sides go straight back down and the 2 relegated sides from last year go straight back up.
In a season which removed fans and many had shortened break over the summer meaning a lot of football over short period of time...it really helps to have a deep and high quality squad bought by wealthiest owners in the league.

Lots of Leicester fans interviewed on the day of the FA cup final said they’d prefer to win that than finish in the top 4. I can understand that.

I would as well, it’s in the record books forever but the money men at the club seeing a Champions League fortune slipping away before their eyes may be taking a different view of things.

That would be brutal if Brenda got emptied.
By the way. Newcastle finished the season like an express train. They will be hoping to sign Willock on a permanent. He equalled Shearers record today for scoring in 7 consecutive EpL games.

for all the amazing world class footballers at the likes of man city and Chelsea, they somehow fail to generate any kind of strong feelings from me either for or against, they just kind of exist and win matches.
honestly give me the championship any day of the week

Agreed. I did think we were going to see a couple of different sides making the CL places this year, but no, it's the same old faces.

Next thing you'll be saying the governing bodies muddy the water with these constant rule changes and inconsistent VAR.
Concur with the above, crock of shite!

The Championship this season was utter garbage, as evidenced by the fact that a functional Norwich side were able to walk away with it while sides as desperately limited as Swansea and Barnsley were able to make play-offs.

It's almost as if the biggest, wealthiest clubs have an advantage over the others. Crazy stuff. That doesn't happen in other countries, does it?

Explain it to me.
Two of the three sides who came down went straight back up. The other made the play-offs.
As for '29 points keeps you up', I have no idea what that means.

I think that's a bit harsh on Norwich, they've been a lot more than functional. don't Be fooled by their terrible premier League season the last time around.
they have a core of players who were likely to be playing premier League football next season even if Norwich didn't go up.
Aarons pukki, cantwell and Buendia would all have been snapped up.
either of the Cardiff sides to have won promotion - there weren't clubs queueing up to pick apart any of our any of our championship sides.
they will have a battle to keep Buendia as it is, who is one of the best players at this level in years, has even just been given an Argentina cap. I think he'll go to a top half premier League side for close to 50m

Swansea were a decent mid table side who had a good run of results, and Barnsley a very effective one dimensional side.
I don't think it has been weak this year at all though.
usually the sides who come down there are one or two who are in a complete mess, with a bloated squad of overpaid players who can't contribute. none of the relegated clubs this time around were in that kind of a mess. they were all able to keep together enough quality in their teams to be very strong at this level. I do fear it is the shape of things to come as well

Norwich spent much of the season winning games by the odd goal. They rarely battered anyone. Indeed, during the first half of the season they only managed to beat two teams by two clear goals - Bristol City (3-1) and Cardiff (2-0). They were good, solid, organised and had that bit of quality that most teams this season lacked, but they were by no means special.

A good run of results? Swansea were in the top six almost all of the season.
