The bed-wetters of 4minutes ago satisfied now?

Last day of the season, West Ham versus a Manchester club and the other title contenders playing scousers, has been a right hoot before now. Whilst a German Jurgen was saying his goodbyes We won at a canter at the same time if that's any omen.

Got Oxford next season then. The clubs that only need 3 stands derby.

Remember some dodgy info spreading like a Chinese whisper during the title challenge in 96 about what was going on in Man United's game. Think it was Southampton at home for us, Leeds at home for them.

If this gets normalised the next generation will see the challenges as part of the entertainment and do the unison clap thing they do in tennis. Will be worth a manager throwing a hail Mary revie if the other team scores a late goal, even if he didn't see anything wrong with it, just in case CSIVAR can find a reason, might get lucky. Wouldn't even blame them for trying

A much better Manchester United and/or a much worse Newcastle and I'd be thinking take a point but this is there to be won. Its wide open for how it'll go. Looking forward to it. Couldn't care less about the Conference league, just want to win a game of football, finish above them and as high as possible. Not a whole lot to lose and winning there is super nice.

Aye well done. Take you over Spurs and the other six (well at least five) any day as it turns out. The new format seems shit but you should get some big ties out of it I gather, which is what its about I suppose at adventure and bonus stage. Better that than poor Blackburn's lot provided being competitive is established. Doesn't mean you cant go far either (as per Sir Bobby)

You'd never see those being won consecutively by Real, Barcelona, Juventus, Bayern, PSG and the like

Don't care for the way they've desecrated the Iraqi flag with a devil logo.

Didn't realise Villa have Palace last game. Going to be saved by the bell for this CL place.

Do i not like that

That's one of the things about ffp/psr that bothers me. If more emphasis is on match-day revenue and scams like this Chelsea one then clubs in the south are going to be at an advantaged even if support-wise they have smaller fanbases than Sunderland and Middlesbrough (thinking the Fulham's, Southampton's etc.). Let alone pan-European where PL tickets will be extortionate compared to other leagues. I see zero fairness in that.

Cant argue with that. Not least because having looked at the Brighton forum that's pretty much their take. Accepting they shit-housed (we all do/would) and had chances on the counter but were pegged back at times, two good teams.

Much better than the old fashioned way all this is mind.

That's why I wouldn't be surprised if Spurs took something. Would be the sort of Spurs thing to do.

Even the worst case scenario would barely make any difference at all. Certainly doesn't justify panic or rage. Its a treat affter the last two years.

Like to think that was their response to Palace out the way, some respectability restored but that's it and the response to the response wont be up to much. Besides which logically, they're still not good.

I know. Was bound to be a response after getting tanked in their last game.

Today must have been hell for some people bet there's some that fall into the category of hating only drawing with Brighton and maybe not qualifiying for Europe again and add insult to injury the fan funded mass flag display not being up to the standards they expect and in keeping with something the North Koreans would pull off. Wasn't even 30degrees either.

We'll be stronger domestically without it for sure, but it fractionally increases our chances of winning something. Balancing act - might even be a method out there to work it all out. We'll be amongst the favourites if not the out-right favourite but Villa have just been turned over by Olympiacos and Liverpool Atalanta - just takes catching one of those. May be past experiences talking but amongst the other mistakes that protracted UEFA cup run in 03/04 was very damaging to the club and after Keegan missed out on Europe we got stronger the following season. (yet the CL run in the season prior to 03/04 didn't do us any harm at all). I'm fine either way. Certainly wont be enraged at missing out on the Conference League.

He has some weird issue with Bruno. Slags him off every game. Used to throw garbage at Cabaye and Rob Lee apparently.

I see virtue either way. Its a chance of winning something but its still a very slim chance (as Villa and the slack afforded Moyes have shown) and will be little more than more games unless we at least reach the final. More games that ultimately mean little wont be our friend when persuing domestic achievements. Not worth lacing into the manager/team about by a long chalk.

Aye right *hard lines on that equaliser though

People cant deal with results that go against them, even though its happened hundreds of times and will happen hundreds more times. Its sport. Every single time isn't cause for a brattish ungrateful drama. The club and team are doing well and trying really hard. Last home game last season was a 0-0 draw against a team nowhere near as good as Brighton. It happens.
