They'll finally get their Wembley wins (the Argos Amateurs final + maybe play-off final) but it'll be empty/quiet and without Trafalgar Square bantz.

You look at Villa's form and line-up, it doesn't look threatening. But Steve Bruce.

Good for us, if it weakens Sheff Utd's promotion challenge.

Probably going to captain Kane, as he's the least bad option. Have to bench either Bamford or Raphinha, which is like flipping a coin.

Had us down on 33pts, with Brighton on 36.

Because i think we'll be relegated?

That cant be right - all the forum doom mongers excitedly said the deal is dead in the water.

Alex McCarthy randomly starting over Fraser Forster, so the latter's weekend clean sheet stays benched. Fucking hell.

Mexico 70 in full colour is still the best. It just looks beautiful.

We play almost exactly the same teams as them, if your implication is that they have an "easier" fixture list. One of us has a competent manager, a game plan and bad luck that will eventually even out. One has Steve Bruce

You see, I look at Brighton's fixtures and see a few wins there. This is a team that have recently beaten Liverpool and Tottenham.

GK: Woodman, Darlow, Gillespie DEF: Manquillo, Krafth, Lascelles, Clark, Fernandez, Dummett, Lewis MID: Hayden, Shelvey, S Longstaff, M Longstaff, Fraser, Murphy, Hendrick, Ritchie, Anderson FOR: Gayle, Carroll, Muto Put a competent manager on that (plus a striker, wingers) and that's a promotion-winning side. But it should never have come to this

Well that's a 10, I'm afraid. We'd have to pull off one or two extraordinary results and I know we can't. Fulham are in another universe to us.

I can't even get upset anymore, I'm at the acceptance stage. Watching both teams every week, we are shite & Fulham are really good. They just deserve to stay up. And it'll be miserable for us no matter which division we're in, so whatever.

Fulham thoroughly deserve it tbh

Don't trust Liverpool at all today.

That was a farcical attempt at football from both sides. Pathetic that we didn't have any intention to win it.

What a disgraceful eleven that is. Poor Gayle. Jeff fucking Hendrick.

Still can't see Brighton going down at all but nice of Leicester to do that

Good shout!

I just associate West Brom (a) with managerial changes. I think Kinnear's heart attack was on the morning of a match there, then Hughton was sacked after one too.

'Steve Bruce expects to be in charge next season' I'm reminded of a lesson at journalism school. If your 'story' has a more shocking opposite, you have a non-story

Did anyone do The Athletic's NUFC quiz last night? Think I noticed a couple of names. Was good to see Shearer for a bit, whatever ended the horrific Waugh/Caulkin craic I'm a bit disappointed with coming 15th but would've done a lot better if it wasn't just NUFC questions. Decent Friday night though.

As if Southampton were ever anywhere near the relegation conversation

Keeper? Strange. We've two of the best keepers in the league. Henderson and Grant? Not sure about that, mind.
