    Be interesting because none of them are in good form. Bristol City and Coventry been very up and down. Sheffield Utd a bit more down then up and Sunderland just straight up awful form. I still think Sheffield Utd should do it because of the managers experience and the superior quality and depth they have.

    So we can see the key points targets for next season


    50 - Survival
    70 - Play-Offs
    90 - Promotion
    100 - Champions

    Really hoping for a Bristol City vs Coventry final.

    Interesting…. They’re the two I’d be happier playing next season!

    Shame to see Luton go down; would've been good to cross swords with them again next year.

    Wanted Hull to stay up. One of my 6 away games next season.

    I was sat in my seat at the King Power when it went it. I might have been the only Saints fan who got to celebrate. Thankfully Doncaster was far less stressful.

    Very, very happy.

    Congrats on winning your bet. I can only assume a substantial amount of money.

    I assume that Leeds will sign Solomon permanently. But if they don't, and he's open to another season in the Championship, I would be very happy if we could get him in on loan. And I don't say that just because I owe him my win!

    Gutted Luton went down. Would have much preferred Hull to go.

    I think Bristol City could regret not beating Preston, and hence missing out on a play-off tie vs Sunderland.

    Sunderland have had 4th place secured for so long, that they seemingly went on the beach early and have failed to return. Their form is appalling. Sheff Utd aren't on great form, but it will still be difficult for Bristol City to knock them out over two legs. I think their chances vs Sunderland would have been much greater.

    At the end of the day, it's difficult to see how any of the four teams would have any chance of staying up in the PL next season. But in terms of making our life easier, I hope it's Sheff Utd who go up.

    In theory I'd want one of Bristol City and Coventry to come up as I've been to both but part of me wants one of the northern teams too having lost Luton for Hull today.

    Cleverly sacked by Watford. You aren’t a real manager until you get the sack. Another name to add to the rumour mill.

    I wonder how long it’ll be before Russell Martin reinvents football in his own head by utilising the Hansi Flick mega high line and an intensive press?

    It’s very scary to watch.

    Incredible that Yamal has played over 100 first team games and he’s still only 17.
