Can't be too long before the mackems' big derby is with Harrogate.

Howe's unlucky in that he's English. If he were in Spain, Italy, Germany, there's absolutely no question he'd have been given a big job in those respective countries by now. Coaches have a very different succession structure outside the Premier League.

Criticism of Howe really irks me like. Bournemouth have spent 10 seasons in their entire history above the 3rd tier of English football - seven of them under Howe. They are a League 1/League 2 club and always have been. He took over when they were bottom of the Football League on -17 points and took them to the Premier League. There's never been a job like that done in my lifetime, it is astonishing. Like, you might not want him in charge of Newcastle, or think he's good enough to take a bigger job, that's all fine, whatever. But to say some of the stuff I see written about him, that he's a bog average manager who's done an average job, just fuck off. This attitude that pervades English football that you're basically not worth your salary unless you can conquer the Premier League is awful.

Howe gone.

Bloody hell.

That was fantastic.

Affecting mental health ffs

Not quite as bad but Blackburn tanked pretty badly the season after they won it iirc. Only down to 7th. Leicester was worse, down to 12th.

Great quiz Yorkie. Actually glad I was lagging behind again because I'd put Bate Borisov and changed my mind, would have been too gutted.

Tory Boy Lyle Taylor should hang his head after Charlton went down by a point, what a total cunt.

I fucking love final days, always like this. 1 goal short of the over 2.5s coming in though, bollocks.

Fuck me, I can't abide West Brom, there isn't a duller club in England.

Quality.

I had the same slip on but only 28/1. I also had an in-play worth £36 which only needed a goal at Brentford between 30:00 and 39:59, the ball literally hit the net on exactly 40:00, can't believe it.

It was self protection but the hit wasn't exactly close, far from point blank range.

Villa advertising something on the pitchside boards from their website allowing you to "meet like-minded Villans in your area"

What a goal.

Wigan might have relegated themselves by conceding that last minute equaliser today.

Ugh. West Brom easily one of the dullest clubs in the country.

Definitely. He was captain and basically ever present in a team that won 3 PL titles.

If you'd asked me this morning how old Andre Schurrle and Michail Antonio were, I'd have said about 34 and 25 respectively. Turns out the latter is older.

Fucking hell. Was about to say I'd be absolutely buzzing if I get 2 West Ham cards for £60.

Aaron Hughes? EDIT: obviously not. John Barnes?
