Don’t think I knew that - whereabouts? I lived in Muswell Hill for years and my sister has been living there for ages. I miss it but could never afford a place there now.

I miss it as well - I lived on Alexandra park Road, opposite the Maid of Muswell pub most of the time but also lived on Grasmere Road.

 

renting obviously as the houses cost millions there - I like it because it hasn’t got a tube station of its own so has a cut off feel about it.

I'm not so sure.

 

There might be a couple of clubs transitioning but the likes of Man Utd and Chelsea will come back eventually. Missing out on the CL a second season has shades of us in Bobby's last two seasons losing to Partizan then finishing 5th. We've only just recovered.

 

 

 

With the amount of money coming from the Premier League now the differential and importance of CL qualification - while still significant - is not as extreme as it used to be. That’s part of the reason why there’s more parity and fluidity at the top now. It’s just less critical to qualify.

 

I do agree that all things being equal I’d love to finish 4th this year, but the specific question is whether we would stomach Arsenal winning the league to achieve that, and that’s where the balance is tipped.

Yeah it was magic. I lived on Muswell Hill Rd near the Church, on the bend in the road. Rented a room in a house with 10 others for £500pcm in the late 90s and early 00s. As time goes on it becomes clearer how lucky I was - was a terrific time to be in my 20s in London.

I’m definitely in the camp of I’d definitely not want us to win if it helped Sunderland do something significant. 
 

It may be small time, but it’s a tiny price to pay in the grand scheme of things. Though I would also argue Arsenal’s title window will be open for a good few years yet, especially given Liverpool and probably Man City (relatively soon) will be going through transitional periods.

Anyone saying they would rather Sunderland win the PL and finish in the CL than Sunderland don't and Europa - they are lying.

Arsenal have downloaded a coward gene in the last 20 years when it comes to the league.

I don’t see us getting anything Sunday, but if I could be granted one wish it would be for Arteta to pull a Woody Hayes or Mike Tomlin on the touchline and get banned for ever.

Apparently Timber is now Arsenal’s only injured player and he’s not far from a return. They’ve been unbelievably lucky with injuries this year.

Leeds losing

[Disco]

Bit weird there’s loads of empty seats in the Leeds end.

[joeyt]

2 down. Leicester coming up

[Disco]

2-0 to the Hoops, Leeds have been horrific and can’t handle QPR.

[Pablo123]

Been a cracking race in the Championship this season. Thought Leeds would power to the title after they beat Leicester.

20 points deduction for the crime of being Leeds seems reasonable to me

Not sure how Ilias Chair is allowed to continue to play football

[54]

Marti Cifuentes has done a hell of a job at QPR like, taking over from the mess that Ainsworth left them in.

[Joelinton7]

Leeds need to spam Summerville in this second half, otherwise, advantage Ipswich. 

[Stifler]

So Leicester promoted as it stands, and Ipswich need to win 2 of their final 3 games for promotion as well.

[Dr.Spaceman]

Christ, it's going to be Leicester and Ipswich isn't it

[Miggys First Goal]

Can’t believe I’m still witnessing Jack Colback stealing a living.

I think Leeds will win the play offs if they are in them, Ipswich won’t.

[Stifler]

3-0 QPR.

[Lordshola]

WTF are Leeds doing the past few weeks?

[54]

If Leeds don't get automatic promotion.
