    Although in all seriousness, Moyes only has himself to blame for introducing Phillips into this game. Needless change, and he gives away a penalty within moments of coming on. He's been a disaster signing for them so why bring him on?

    Poor Tino has come off injured. He can't catch a break that lad.

    You cannot make this up. Newcastle have also lost Lascelles, Krafth and Almiron to injury in this match. Almiron actually came on as sub only to come off having pulled something.

    Coufal has had a nightmare game. First against Gordon and now against Barnes. The real weak link in this West Ham team.

    I don't want to think it, but if JWP has any sense he'll be mentioning KWP's name into Moyes' ear every day.

    We finished March last year with 23 points from 28 games (and were only four points behind 12th).

    This season, 17th placed Forest have 22 points from 30 games (subject to any point deduction appeal).

    And we didn't get the benefit last season of playing Sheff Utd, Burnley or Luton.

    I would love Everton to get relegated. If the play-off matches go pear-shaped, playing Everton would, at least, be very palatable!!

    If Everton went down, I think that would be one promotion place taken.

    Think Burnley and Sheffield Utd will do very well next year tbh. Can’t see there being too much disruption to their sides. Everton would have a bit of a rebuild to do, plus their finances are terrible

    I think everton will stay up. If they went down, I can see them being bought on the cheap and money invested in rebuilding the sqaud. However, I feel there are worse teams in the mix,

    I agree about Sheffield United who will fare well under Chris Wilder in the Championship. It will be interesting to see if Kpmpany remains with Burnley.I would not expect them to make a quick return. As I have said before, I can see Portsmouth replicating Ipswich''s performance of this season. I can see the momentum continuing , especially as they have suffered so many injuries in this campaign. Portsmouth will be the surprise package in 24/25.

    Leicester City will be another I would look out for it they fail to get promoted. I just see a more even Championship campaign next year. This year has been a fantastic advert to the league.

    I think you are right about Everton! Imagine Leicester miss out on promotion altogether, Derby get promoted and Forest relegated. Add Coventry, Stoke, and maybe WBA and Birmingham. These are the teams that next years promotion winners will have to beat!

    I found it very absorbing. Not a classic, but not a bore draw either.

    Saliba is incredible. And he's only 22.

    Speaking of similarities, Doku is identical to Sulemana

    I was wondering who was going to sat that. Incidentally, both players were signed from Rennes.
