    So looking at it....

    Newcastle can spend to stay up. Policy needs to be decent Spanish talent not dross French ****e.

    Brighton are decent and well run but who knows.

    Huddersfield are dreaming right now.

    Realistically Burnley, Swansea and bouremouth need to be worried. I reckon 2 of them might go down.

    Let's hope for some nice additions to the squad because we'll be starting the season with possibly 4 games in 10 days <yikes>

    Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius‘ best moments from 2016/17 have been recalled via the magic of YouTube
    Video: Mignolet dominates Liverpool’s 10 best saves of 2016/17



    he two Reds ‘keepers enjoyed differing levels of success during the season, as they tussled for the first-choice jersey.
    Karius’ season started with injury, but he replaced Mignolet in September—only for his own form to leave a lot to be desired.

    From the moment Mignolet came back into the team he was excellent, with the Belgian playing a key role in Liverpool qualifying for next season’s Champions League.

    The above video counts down the 10 best saves the duo made throughout the campaign, with some absolute beauties thrown in.

    Mignolet’s penalty save to deny Theo Walcott on the opening weekend gets the ball rolling, with his excellent stop from Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s free-kick next on the list.

    ▼ Article continues below ▼

    Karius makes his first appearance at number eight, with his thwarting of Southampton‘s Nathan Redmond in the League Cup semi-final first leg making the cut.

    Mignolet’s best performance of the season came away to Stoke City last month, and his first stop from that game to make the list saw him keep out former Reds midfielder Charlie Adam.

    In at number six is the Belgium international’s save to deny Tottenham‘s Son Heung-min in front of the Kop, and starting the top five is his save from Diego Costa’s spot-kick.

    It is no surprise to see Mignolet dominate the list, given his form and playing time, and his brilliant stop from Olivier Giroud’s header in March enters at number four.

    Ex-Liverpool favourite Joe Allen was denied brilliantly by the feet of Mignolet in the 4-1 win over Stoke City, with it rated Liverpool’s third-best save of 2016/17.

    The runner-up spot goes to Karius, who once again kept out Redmond in January, in his best performance for Liverpool to date. In truth, second-place is generous.

    ▼ Article continues below ▼

    There can only be one winner, though, and it is a more than deserving number one.

    Mignolet somehow prevented Saido Berahino from equalising in the 2-1 win at Stoke, producing heroics from point-blank range.

    It was a genuinely world-class stop by a goalkeeper enjoying his best spell in a Liverpool shirt.

    think we an safely say that there are only going to be 5 teams challenging for the league next year...

    Tuchel is also there for anyone who wants to pick up a good up and coming manager

    Arsene Wenger: Arsenal manager agrees two-year contract

    Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has agreed a new two-year contract, extending his 21-year reign at the club.
    Wenger and club owner Stan Kroenke met on Monday to determine the Frenchman's future, with the decision relayed to directors at a Tuesday board meeting.
    Arsenal are planning to make an official announcement on Wednesday.
    The Gunners were fifth in the Premier League this season, the first time they have finished outside the top four since the Frenchman joined in 1996.
    They finished 18 points behind champions Chelsea, but beat the Blues to win the FA Cup at Wembley on Saturday.
    Wenger's contract was set to finish at the end of the current campaign.
    He led the Gunners to three Premier League titles and four FA Cups in his first nine seasons in charge.
    In 2003-04, he became the first manager since 1888-89 to lead a team through an entire top-flight season unbeaten.
    But after winning the 2005 FA Cup, they had to wait another nine years - or 3,283 days - for their next silverware. It came as they beat Hull City to win the 2014 FA Cup, before winning the trophy again the following year.
    Some Gunners fans turned on the 67-year-old Frenchman as a result of their league performances and they lost 10-2 on aggregate to Bayern Munich in the Champions League last 16 in March.
    They finished the league season with five successive victories, but it was not enough to carry them above Liverpool to take the fourth and final Champions League spot.
    Wenger told BBC's Football Focus on Saturday that the criticism he has faced this season is "a disgrace" he will "never forget".

    All those people who got Bobby to do a selfie on their phone will be disappointed when the glare from his gnashers has bleached them out.
