Lol @ the City bench

Ederson
Dias
Stones
Gundogan
Haaland
Grealish
Rodri
De Bruyne
Bernardo Silva

Has to be up there as the greatest substitute bench of all time - outrageous.

[URZZZZ]

All the discussion about whether it’s right to constantly swap managers, it’s noticeable that West Ham, Forest and Bournemouth have been the ones to escape relegation. Moyes, Cooper and O’Neill, you could argue have been relatively “lucky” to keep their job at times given the state of the modern game

Compared to Southampton (3 managers), Leeds (3 managers), Leicester (2 managers) and Everton (2 managers). Whilst I think for some of them, such as Rodgers, it was time to go, it does highlight chopping and changing managers isn’t always the best policy

[URZZZZ]

I wonder if west ham will go easy against Leicester on the last day as they have their European final the next week.

If you were going to choose any fixture for a game on the final day to try and get you out of trouble I reckon west ham at home would be right up there.

You can picture the quotes coming from opposing managers already!! Perfect game for Leicester on so many fronts.

Do think Spurs (H) is as equal an appealing fixture too. They’ve been shambolic since about August time

Have to question the incentive for Spurs to reach the conference league too. Ultimately, a trophy is a trophy and is something they’re badly lacking but not sure they’ll really want West Ham’s sloppy seconds (assuming they win the final)

In saying that, Bournemouth (H) is hardly tough either which is why I think Everton will be the ones staying up, unless Leicester can somehow win tonight

Why is it outrageous ?
If their first team were playing and that was the bench, that would be outrageous

They still managed to beat one of the biggest clubs in England with all of those players on the bench. That's pretty outrageous.

outrageous because its a strong bench whilst the starting 11 just despatched a team who spent £250m on players this season on top of the money they have spent. HTH.

Can’t work out if you’re being sarcastic
Anyway, just in case you’re not, not this season they’re not

Have you seen just how shit Chelsea have been this season ?

Probably mentioned above or elsewhere but blood hell how disappointing for Posh. You'd have thought after winning your first leg of a playoff 4-0 you're definitely through!

And probably therein lies the problem.

I made the mistake of watching the Newcastle/Brighton game, switched over to the end of the AZ Alkmaar/West Ham game … assuming that the play off was a foregone conclusion, so I’m as bad.

Complacency on the part of a viewer isn't quite as catastrophic as complacency (even if sub-consciously) in the players though.

Darren Moore was a dead man walking...must be one of the quickest zero to hero 90 minutes ever.

This has been one of my favourite relegation battles in quite some time

I desperately want Leicester to stay up, just can't see it sadly x

[NathStPaul]

Everton will get out of it, they always do.

Yep agreed. And to be honest as I've already said, they're the most likeable club out of the three in my opinion.

What's your beef with Leicester?

They released him as a youngster.
