Dwight Gayle just managed what must surely be the miss of the season in the Cup game against Man City. Admittedly he'd just come on, but I reckon 'Arry Rednapp's missus could have converted it with her eyes shut!
Wigan has a pier. Doesn't Manchester have a beach? (Man City are always said to have been on it when Chris Hughton engineered our last-day-of-the-season victory there in May 2013.)
Watford in the Championship I can see being quite effective. They've got a strong physical team, organised defence and Deeney will probably stay and be lethal in the championship. They'd lose some flair players and need goalkeepers, but not major surgery. Ironically Pearson would have been s good choice for a promotion push.
Bump. "The battle for 17th place is getting interesting following Palace's pathetic showing at Villa Park today. .................... Unlike us, Villa are showing some spirit and have given themselves a real chance." I called it 10 days ago on the Season 2019-2020 thread. Villa are now in pole to survive. Well done them.
In The Championship: Nottingham Forest miss the playoffs because they lost by three today and Swansea won by three. Swansea started the day needing to win their game and for Forest to lose, while making up a goal GD of five on Forest. Nottm Forest 1 vs 4 Stoke City Reading 1 vs 4 Swansea City Pos G GD Pts 6 Swansea 46 9 70 7 Nottm Forest 46 8 70
I would not think for a single minute that Forest saw that result coming, against such an inconsistent side. Almost feel a bit sorry for them
