    Villa in Europe. What a job Emery has done there.

    TBH from a Saints POV Leicester are probably less of a threat than Everton in the Championship.

    I just wonder about Manchester City taking their foot off the peddle as I feel a side should be going into the biggest matches in the club's history with some momentum. Hopefully, I am wrong and City win the treble!!

    I felt Bournemouth would get relegated along with Southampton and Leeds. For next season, Wolves look.a possibility as they sell off their better players to avoid possible sanctions.

    Pity Everton survived as I feel.relegation would have enabled them.to sort themselves out, akin to Manchester United back in.1974!!

    Think Dyche will stay there now and see them into the new stadium. Will probs get relegated within 5 years of moving in though.

    I'd have liked them to come down really to get one last Goodison visit but Leicester definitely didn't deserve to survive tbf.

    Have to see them as one of the favourites for the ECL under him too.

    This could well just postpone the inevitable for Everton, potential points deduction next season too.

    Feel Leicester will be a very difficult opponent next season.

    Which makes it all the more remarkable that it happened.

    He did only have about 3 games though. Not that I would have been jumping for joy if BFS rocked up at St Mary’s, but he probably would have got a few more points than Selles. And onuachu would have gotten some game time.

    I was disappointed Everton survived earlier, but in hindsight it made MOTD much more bearable that Leicester weren’t the ones to do it, and we didn’t have to suffer Gary’s smugness again!

    In his last two managerial stops Allardyce has managed 21 points in 30 matches while shipping an obscene number of goals. He isn't a rescue artist anymore, he's an over-the-hill manager with an antiquated style that no longer accomplishes the thing it is meant to accomplish, namely providing solidity.
