    I drove Sucky off the board with the devastating ball crunching ego crushing name I gave him

    Good luck finding him

    Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has "no doubt" his team will be in the Champions League next season.

    Big game on the weekend. I think it will affect them and they'll lose this one.
    Watford will probably rest lots of players, but still have too much for Fulham. Relegation tonight, I expect. Sorry, 360 Scott.

    Yeah was thinking the same about that FA cup game. Reckon Wolves will have one eye on that. Their league position is brilliant for them, but they aren't catching Chelsea and although there's a pack of teams just below them, they are pretty much guaranteed a top half finish. The FA cup though is a potential route into Europe for them though ...

    They've got no chance of catching Chelsea, but 7th would be a good chance of European football, too.
    City will probably win the FA Cup and already won the League Cup, so that would make it good enough for the Europa.
    I think that Wolves would be a lot more prepared for the extra games than Burnley were and it would be a good stepping stone.

    They way they've changed allocations makes it harder now though as if you get that spot you have to play three 2 legged ties before September.

    They've got a decent squad now and would add more depth to it if they qualified, though.
    Their style would suit Europe and their agent connections would help them to bring in more quality.

    Yeah they've probably got one more season pushing on before it all goes tits up a bit.

    The big boys will come for their players and manager in the not too distant future and it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of dodgy stuff came up with the ownership either.

    They've had a cracking season overall, not quite as good as finishing above Arsenal as one of your lot predicted ;) but still really impressive. They've beaten Chelsea and your lot in the league and they've knocked Liverpool and Utd out of the FA cup. Amazing that they managed to sign Joao Moutinho, he's always been a top quality player. Weren't you in for him at one stage ?

    Can see somebody coming in for Raul Jimenez and Diogo Jota.

    Although I think Jimenez is on loan to them ?

    They couldn't afford Moutinho as they are still paying off Sissoko.

    Yep, might even see Moutinho move to a bigger club. He'd be a decent short term replacement for Ramsey.

    He agreed to join but the paperwork was a minute late because of his third party ownership bullshit and the league stuck to their rules, for once.
