@African-Monkey if Jebbison was actually premier league worthy I suspect we get a draw lol
Yeah, looked like a repeat of the first fixture when Evanilson scores right at the end with a near post header from a free kick, but Jebbison needed to throw himself at the ball after Emi saved the initial header, instead, he allowed Cash to come in and clear.
Huge result for Villa, keeping our champions league hopes alive, and a bit of a disaster day for Bournemouth, with their European hopes in jeopardy after Brighton and Brentford also won.
Villa have qualified for Europe for three seasons in a row which is a massive achievement given where the team were when Unai Emery took over (one point off the relegation zone) and before that when Dean Smith took over (middle of the Championship and facing problems with the tax man).
Tottenham at home just before the UEFA Cup final and ManUtd away just after the UEFA Cup final looks like a bit of a dream run-in. So it's whether the team can perform in those last two games and how the other clubs do (including Man City and Crystal Palace in the FA Cup Final) that determine which European Competition AVFC play in next year.

If this is half true it’s still a hell of a story

I remember reading that he scored against Wrexham in non-league play years ago. Not long after he began his climb to the top
-
This is an amazing achievement by Chris Wood. Only 52 players have scored 20 or more goals in a season. There are some well-known players who aren't on the list.
-
Given English international and top rated striker Danny Welbeck has just achieved 10 EPL goals for the season for the FIRST time, 20 is extraordinary for Wood - especially for one of the lesser clubs in the league. Might be a target for Wrexham next season if Forest decide they want a change of strategy .....
Meanwhile Sheff U v Sunderland in the playoff final after Sheff U trounced Bristol C and Sunderland squeaked past Coventry with a goal right at the end of 120 minutes. Probably Sheff U to go up - doesn't really matter, either one will be relegated next season.

Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid, big loss but great profit, likely future Spanish captain IMO

Palace beat Man City to lift the FA Cup

Wow, must be the first time in many a year that they finish the season without a trophy.

Massive result on so many levels. Palace go straight to the Europa league, whilst Brentford, Brighton and Bournemouth's dreams of qualifying for European football are over.
Finishing 7th now becomes a danger position as it'll now mean that whoever finishes there drops down to the Conference league.

Great that CP finally win it after two losses to that other Manchester club.

If Chelsea finish 7th and wing the Conference League then the team that finishes eighth will still make it to Europe. Unlikely but not impossible

Highly possible if they lose to Forest.

@KiwiPie Apparently Wrexham are after Tom Cairney on a free. I think Fulham may offer him a new contract. Also can't see him lasting a Championship season given his injury record
I expect Fulham to bid for many players in the off season. Someone like Vardy would be gold in the championship and to boost ratings. The relegated teams can expect a bid or 2 for the known quantities.
Meanwhile Notts lost to Wimbledon in the League 2 play-offs - wasn't there a Wimbledon fan on here? No post about it yet so that's good.

Europe was over for Bournemouth really after our woeful January, however we did enough to be a chance for Europe until yesterday.
Hopefully only really will lose three key players (and hopefully no Manager). One already signed. Great progress as a team but after that start, largely disappointing.Still that first City goal by Omar Marmoush was an absolute screamer.
