they're the only top 6 side without a final appearance this season, so ... same old, same old.

I know you guys had us pegged to win the league and Champions League, but I guess I was a little more realistic!

Fulham through to the playoff final
Villa and boro tomorrow, villa up 1-0 with an away goal
Either way should be a great final, and a nice warm-up before the CL final

Really wish I could take tomorrow afternoon off, Saturday's game was great, Jack Grealish is becoming very dominate for Villa and hopefully soon people will see him again and remember how big of a prospect he was just 3 years ago.

Both Allardyce and Moyes gone from their clubs today. Sacked and contract not renewed respectively. Feels very harsh on Moyes who took them from relegation zone to mid table. Not sure what more the West Ham board expect. Allardyce meanwhile just never seemed like a good fit for Everton but he gets a £9m payday for his six months there.

yeah that's harsh on Moyes. Felt he did a good job.
Marco Silva is in line to replace Allardyce.

For once Moyes did a good job.
But this is like Edmonton, everything Everton touches turns to crap.

There are no away goals in the Championship playoffs.
Which is good.

Welp....looks like City are broke...
Quote:
Pep Guardiola said Manchester City won't match their spending of the past two summers with just one or two players set to arrive before the new season.
City have spent around £300 million since Guardiola took over in 2016, bringing down the average age of the squad.
"One or two more, no more. Maybe people don't believe me, but we don't have the money to invest £300m every season."

well those two players will cost a lot, so there's that. Meanwhile they've lost another young talent, as Pablo Maffeo has joined VfB Stuttgart. No surprise with Walker and Danilo ahead of him.
Looks like Alderweireld to United is gaining steam. MUCH prefer him to Rose, who has been linked to United too and who I'd hate to see.

That would really suck. Spurs would lose their best defender and United would gain a really good defender, but the combination of him and Jones might overwork their medical staff.

I know that Alderweireld is gone and that really sucks to begin with, but I just don't get why they will sell him in the league. I think he is so good, and yeah he has been dinged up over the past couple seasons, but still has a few great years ahead of him. Send him to Europe somewhere though!
Hopefully the deal is Alderweireld for Martial/Rashford or something like that. I think I could live with that one.

Trading players within the league is becoming a strangely more common occurrence.

Really hope they send him to the continent, you add toby and whomever he ends up partnering of jones, smalling, bailly would instantly improve
Rose way overplayed his hand last year, hes been passed by Davies at spurs, tiernan or sessegnon likely coming this summer, and now it seems united are out and only everton are interested in rose

Thoughts on Pellegrini, who apparently will be West Ham's new manager?
I'm intrigued, but if he's as good as everyone says he is, why was he in China?

The same reason everyone goes to China.
Truckloads and truckloads of money.

And unsurprisingly Carvalhal and Lambert out as Swansea and Stoke managers respectively today. In better manager news, Moore was given the job permanently at West Brom.

Probably should have been a red on Jones there. Why Bailly isn't playing, I don't quite know.

not a red. Tried to play the ball, so yellow is sufficient. That's what they say on BBC at least.
Jones is having a shocker so far.
