Good to see Coventry make the grade.I remember they were a division one feature when I was collecting football cards in the sunny long ago…
Equally good to see Spurs not make the grade.😎
A good result for us against Palace and who knows?It will go down to the wire and the last day of games.
Absolutely not the way I hoped the season would go but all too predictable.A complete clear out of the vampires in the board room is needed..anyone got a phone number for Blade??
 
Looks like it's between Spurs and West Ham for that final spot. Spurs managed a point yesterday but were unlucky not to come away with a win. Tomorrow West Ham play Crystal Palace, who went on a bit of a bender after advancing in the Conference League midweek, so it'll be interesting to see how that goes. Hopefully they're not too hungover.

While they've only managed a point so far since De Zerbi took over, he already has them clearly playing much better, so if they can keep it close to West Ham it should be an interesting final few weeks.
 
In the Championship the Rams stay in touch in the playoff race. Still think we will finish where we are though. And while of course any fan wants their team up there im really happy with 8th and excited to see what this squad can achieve next season.
Do you think your squad will remain intact for next season?

Next season 8th would get you the playoffs.

I do yes. I don't think we will keep all our loans, with Ozoh most likely to not return.

Rumours Clark likely to have another season on loan.

I think had Ageymang not got his injury there might have been some clubs interested in him.

I think what Leeds have shown is how much difference just a couple of results can make. De Zerbi clearly has them playing better, but will it be too late? The pressure ramps up considerably if West Ham beat Palace tonight.

Do you think Ozoh doesn't come back because Palace will want to keep him, we won't be able to afford him or because Eustace isn't convinced? (or some combination of the three!)

My only worry is that we'd planned stuff based on selling either Zetterstrom or Ageymang this summer. I suppose Jacob is still a possibility, esp if he sneaks into the Sweden World Cup squad.

Wonder if we'll try and get Banel back?

I reckon palace will want to keep him. But we'll see.

Despite the great goal I feel Banel is one that I wouldn't toi worried if he doesn't get retained.
 
Can't help feeling West Ham will regret not getting a win against Palace...could have opened up daylight between them and Spurs. I said this weeks ago but I have a feeling this still may come down to goal difference and Spurs is much better than the Hammers.
 
Another damp squib.
Sometimes the universe is telling you that maybe you’re not quite deserving of staying up.

On the bright side,Baroness Brady(?) has left the building.
I’m thinking 🤔 rats..sinking ships.
 
Indeed.

Lower down the leagues Leicester 'provisionally' relegated. I don't think the provisional tag will last for long.
 
Chelsea will be fine, sure they can find another hotel to flog or sell their women's team/U14s team to themselves to get them out of trouble.

Leicester is another matter. I think they have to bounce back straight away and even then finances are going to catch up with them. Maybe they can sell their new world class training ground. They certain need to offload most of their first team, sell anyone who had a decent value and start again from scratch the way we had to four years ago (Hopefully they'll have more than 5 players at the start of pre-season!)
 
It's one of those 'would you rather' questions isn't it.

Would you rather be a solid reliably Prem/Champ team that never wins anything, or would you take a prem title and an FA cup but then it all falls apart and you drop down to league 1 (and possibly stay there a while)

If I got a choice, fa cup finalist or promotion id take the final every day.

I'm not sure. Maybe FA final winner but I'd take promotion over being trounced 5-0 by Man City at Wembley to be honest (sadly the only time I've seen Derby at Wembley was in the Anglo Italian Cup Final!)

Without getting too depressing, I'm in my mid 50s now, be nice to see us win something in what's left of my lifetime! :) (And I mean something beyond a play off final) The options, in increasing likelihood are...

Premier/Champions league. I mean it isn't impossible but what all the various things that would need to happen to make it happen make it seem highly unlikely!

FA Cup/ Europa League. Being remotely realistic probably the best we can hope for

League Cup/UEFA Conference Probably more likely than the above

Championship title Probably the lowest level of trophy it'd be nice to win. Obviously next season;)

Have I imagined this or has Clowes said his ambition (outside of becoming an established Prem team) is to win a cup in the next five years?

yes he has. I just think ive never had a day out at wembley for a cup final

ive only seen them once in 2007 for the play offs as was abroad for the others

id love a league cup too

I do think semi finals should be played elsewhere though
