Bournemouth will be cock a hoop with that today. I reckon they fancy an upset against Man City.

Yep they’ve only lost twice at home all season, it’s become a tough place to go and get a result.

Wilson starts for West Ham, he’s had a decent impact when he comes on as a sub but would have thought Castellanos would have started.

So if Arsenal beat Burnley as expected, Stockport cheaters lose at Bournemouth. Maybe they will play a 2nd string on last day? As FA cup, League Cup and 2ndis wrapped.

I too want 4th as I am sure Emery will

Yeah I don't know if it has been resolved. Hearts and some Belgian team.

Union St Gilloise. His ownership there is longstanding so not an issue and he lonely has 29% of Hearts so should be ok there too.

How he can have such close interest in all these teams and not be considered to have inside information with his direct and indirect betting activities is one for the lawyers and football authorities to scrutinise.

He may also be connected to George Cottrell a former advisor and fundraiser for Farage who has served time in prison for wire fraud in the US.

For a team with supposed Europe ambitions, Brentford look like they've given up.

It’s a good result to keep them hungry going into next week at Liverpool. I’d like 4th so if they feel that there is a chance of them getting 7th and Europe they won’t just roll over at Anfield. I fully hope our minds are in a very happy place and if so, expect us to lose, maybe heavily at Man City.

Eh? They're losing.

Yep. They know that they will likely need a win next week against Liverpool. A point might be enough if Brighton lose to get a Conference spot. I’d rather they went to Anfield with some extra motivation.

We can lose at Man City and still finish 4th if Brentford get at least a draw at Anfield…it’s unlikely, but Liverpool are a bit shit so you never know.

How small is Trippier?!

Edit: 5’10” apparently.

It’s possible I guess if it is all over on Tuesday night that they’ll announce Guardiola leaving and the final day turns into Guardiola / Stones & Silva appreciation day over result :-)

That should have been a Newcastle penalty shouldn’t it, pretty clear handball from Coucek.
