    Wanted Spurs to win only because selfishly that should mean they stay away from Iraola now

    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.

    That was a perfect shot from Marmoush when you see it from multiple angles. Kepa wasn't that far away from it but it was unstoppable.

    I think with Bournemouth that teams are a bit more clued up in how to play them and some of their best players have had to keep playing because of all the injuries. It's hard to play all season with the furious intensity that the Bournemouth style needs.

    You’re right on this when the injuries occurred our next level squad members could not keep up, in fact some still struggling now

    Good on Ange. Worked his way up from the old NSL with South Melbourne, the won titles with the Brisbane Roar, the Asia Cup with Australia, the J Legaue at Yokohama F Marinos, won plenty with Celtic, now has ended Tottenham's trophy drought like he said he would with his famous 'I always win things in my 2nd year' quote.

    Well done to him.

    When Spurs sack him on Monday this guarantees another job somewhere almost immediately. Good stuff.

    This weekend's games should be pretty funny
    Liverpool v Palace will be hilarious when both teams fly straight from Ibiza for the game "hey pilot leave her running we'll be right back"
    Spurs will still be drunk, playing a team that can't really move in the league either

    The Champions League spots could come down to the motivation of the opposition more than the quality of the teams in the mix.
    Villa get an absolutely dejected Man U side who will have no care factor now
    Which means Chelsea probably can't afford to park the bus and draw with Forest.
    Newcastle host Everton who said goodbye to the spiritual home last week, and can't come anywhere except 13th
    City only need a draw.

    Match was footballs equivalent of the 2011 RWC final. Terrible, nervous game.

    Amorim team dreadful til they made subs.

    Spurs defense brilliant.

    Relatively neutral here with a Spurs lean …. Dreadful watching

    Highlights suggested we barely hung on. But that's what it takes when you have to wait 15 years for a trophy 🏆

    It is deeply funny that Ange stated his style was his style and no compromise (high line and all out attack) and then won a European trophy with peak Mourinho grab a goal and park the bus. What now for Amorim? No sign of improvement and will the board give him the money to buy his own players?

    Not really. Vicario and Romero nearly gifted Hojlund an equalizer if it weren't for the heroics of Van De Ven, and Shaw had a header parried away at the end by Vicario but other than that, Man U and this ridiculous shape they continue to persist with were rather toothless in the attacking third and had to rely on aerial balls to give themselves a chance. Apparently Amorim is the man to take them forward.........hmmm........

    Sheffield United leading Sunderland 1-0 in the Championship play off final. A return to the Premier League is beckoning.

    As it goes into injury time, Sunderland take a 2-1 lead. Lots of happy Mackams.

    Surely the big news is Arsenal WFC beating Barcelona in the UEFA Women’s Champions League final. 😉

    Emi Martinez sent off in possibly his last appearance for Villa. Sold down the river by an awful Matty Cash backpass. Champions league football looks near impossible now for us.

    Disappointing end for us, but we all know that our goal should have stood and Bayindir dropped that ball. The goal should have stood.

    Having said that, we got well outplayed today. You'd think we were 16th and Man U were fighting for a champions league spot with the way the game went.

    Massive money gone with that decision, but it is what it is. Onto the Europa League next season. I assume we're gonna have to let more players go because of this.

    Awful backpass but Martinez should have let Hojlund run and chased back - could almost have been a red for the no arms tackle! And yes the ref will be regretting blowing up immediately when the ball was stolen by Rogers - that left no option for a VAR review.

    Pleased that Sunderland are back rather than Sheff U - a genuinely big club. However, they aren't very good and I don't see how they are even going to be competitive in the EPL.

    Yeah he did commit a bit early but shouldn't have been put in that position in the first place.

    Do we give any of the promoted sides a chance of staying up?

    No. Unless one of the current 17 self-destructs, they all have way too much quality and depth. This season, the 3 promoted teams played a total of 102 games against those 17 and won just 8. One single team will have to win 8 of their 34 games to stand any chance of staying up.
