    Yes, not sure what I was thinking. I think I had Everton as having two to play.

    Is their qualification for Europe by virtue of the 2 Manchester teams being in the FA cup final?

    Always had a soft spot for Brighton. Their history over the last 30 years or so mirrors ours really. Great to see them doing so well in the big league

    Leeds manager Sam Allardyce fears it will be a "big ask" to secure Premier League survival, particularly if injured attackers Patrick Bamford and Rodrigo are not fit for next week's final game against Tottenham.

    Three seasons after they were promoted to the top flight, Leeds know they will be relegated back to the Championship if they fail to beat Spurs.

    Even that will not be enough if Everton win their final game against Bournemouth or Leicester pick up four points from their last two matches.

    Fair play to Stephen Toast, he predicted all three teams promoted to this years Premier League would stay up. :emoticon-0125-mmm:

    The Seagulls sealed a place in at least the European Conference League with a 3-1 win over Southampton.

    They need a point from two games to make sure of sixth place and a spot in the Europa League next season.

    "This is more prestigious than winning the Premier League with one of the big-six teams," said De Zerbi.

    Their superior goal difference means they are highly likely to finish ahead of Aston Villa, who are seventh with one fixture remaining, even if Brighton remain on 61 points at the end of the season.

    Disgraceful scenes in La Liga again. Valencia fans chant ‘mono’ all game at Vinícius Júnior. Can hear it loud as day on TV. Then in injury time he gets a red card for grazing the face of a Valencia player with his hand after the same player tried to put him in a chokehold. Ref did **** all about the racist abuse.

    La Liga just do what they want and UEFA let them.

    Sounds lovely

    Mono means cute, adorable or pretty. And it's actually the word they use for “overalls” in Spain

    Former Liverpool footballer Graeme Souness is swapping being a TV pundit to swim the English Channel.

    The 70 year old told #BBCBreakfast he's doing it for the charity DEBRA which supports people living with Epidemolysis Bullosa.

    I don't really like the bloke, but fair play to him, that's one hell of a challenge.

    Any man of his age willing to swim through 21 miles of human waste deserves a huge amount of respect...

    All joking aside,this is a fantastic thing to do and I wish him well.He'll raise a lot of money for the cause,good on him.

    I've just seen the story of the little girl that inspired Souness to do this, absolutely heartbreaking.

    Its hard just reading about what these children (not just one) have to go through. The anxiety for the parents just watching their suffering must be horrendous...

    Because of his profile, wouldn't it be amazing if the PFA urged all of their players to donate 10%/ 20% of one weeks salary to this charity...

    It actually means monkey, but I'm sure you already knew that. Imagine you being the one to downplay racism, quelle surprise (that means 'how lovely').
