I've said it before. Get promotion, spend spend spend, break the rules like everyone else....get a few points deduction and win win win.

As mentioned on MOTD, the reasons Burnley concedes so many chances, inevitably being punished by top class PL finishes, because championship sides are not good enough to play like Manchester City & the other top teams

Passing the ball around sideways & backwards losing possession in dangerous areas, or going nowhere with the ball eventually going back to the keeper who makes a mess of his kick.

That would be the scenario for Leeds if we are promoted.

66 points between the three relegated clubs.

Not one of them will make 30 points.

Remember when we won one in every six games in the prem, just as Burnley & Luton have achieved.

We finished last season similar to the blunts with no wins in their last six matches.

Bayern Munich made Oliver Glasner the main managerial target and approached Crystal Palace who demanded €100million to release him.

Quite the rise from Glasner.

Plus we signed the prolific #9 last season and stopped starting him halfway through the season...

Not necessarily Sid.

Leave him to it, and in his own time, slowly removing the old with something better than he already has.

He might just pleasantly surprise us.

I feel he's got enough common to have learned quite a lot from past experience, we know how eager 'kids' are these days to, want want want, have have have, and that things MUST happen overnight, but DF has kindly explained to us - " one rung at a time"

If we did by chance get up, he should be looking to add 3-4 players, possibly 5, and cast off the old and any that he feels are limited to Championship football. Stabilise us hopefully as a bottom third team, then same again to get to mid tier or upper.

Seven quality players required, imo!

Manchester City moved within one win of a historic fourth successive Premier League title with victory at Tottenham.

Spurs fans cheered Man City's victory, taunting the North London rivals Arsenal.

You would be a very brave ( or stupid man ) to bet on City not winning it now, they have the taste now for winning titles and will be hard to stop next season as well. Going to be interesting to see who they bring in for next season to upgrade what is already a very talented squad.

Cole Palmer's brilliant season with Chelsea continued with his 22nd goal of the season helping the Blues boost their European qualification hopes with a win at Brighton in the Premier League. Chelsea were in the bottom half of the table in March.

Also, Scum beat the barcodes 3-2 last night.

The gaps between the top 6 in PL and top 6 in Championship are very similar.

Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson will miss their Premier League title decider and the FA Cup final because of a fractured eye socket.

Be interesting to see how he does given he nearly became our manager

Iraola proven himself, will Slot?

Bit of a damp squib for Liverpool though.

2nd,3rd,4th choice?

Alonso and Amorim turned them down so atleast 3rd.
