This must be one of the weakest PL's campaigns yet.

Blandest as well. The champions are done, as are the top four.

It looked so different half way through the season. United Struggling, Saints challenging, close at the top.

Then it kinda became predictable.

Utd probably can't afford to lose again if they're to get automatic CL qualification.

It's 4th or nothing for us now

Which would mean two preliminary rounds in the CL before the group stage.


Not ideal but they'll have to take it.

Trouble is, you, Spurs and Liverpool are too inconsistent, if Utd do slip up.

You've misunderstood. Utd will get top four, no question. But there's a difference between going direct into the group stages, and having to go through the CL qualifiers. That difference being the difference between 3rd and 4th.

The top four will be the top four. But in what order.

(PS. I wouldn't call us inconsistent. More, just not good enough)

Sorry brendy, I did.

Yes, the order will start with Chelsea, that's all I know.

How was that not a penalty?

The Fabregas one? Definite penalty for me. Shearer disagrees, though he is a terrible pundit.

Was talking about the Ospina-Oscar one. Cahill handball also should have been a penalty. Not sure there was enough contact for the Fabregas penalty - could have gone either way, definitely was a dive though. So at least 2 penalties not given.

fabregas was tripped, dive or not. I'm in two minds over the Cahill handball. he was sliding, but had his arms out. He certainly shouldn't have complained if it had been given.

Newcastle fans seem to be getting angrier.

Financially they are safe, but that's not enough for the fans.

What manager do they want, who do they want the club to buy? They obviously want some silverware, but how much are the supporters willing to give up to get that..
