Hull have massively overachieved by finishing 18th, so well done to Silva I guess. Not sure it's all looking great for Swansea though, Brighton and Newcastle will both be quite decent. Some teams feeling settled in lower mid table might get shaken up.
I think Watford are in deep trouble next season. Stoke will need to get their act together too, and Burnley will need to get more points away, but a good summer transfer for both can solve that.
Of course, if we don't change manager and at least 11 players from our squad, so are we. Doomed, I say, we're all doomed ......
Liverpool winning. Fonte caught out with an offside and Sturridge scores; will prevent West Ham finishing above us. Four points and we can finish 8th.
Every team from 8th down has to be mindful of the drop, frankly. There isn't a lot in it...potentially 7-10 points from 8th to 17th doesn't leave a lot of room for error over the summer.
With Liverpool facing Middlesbrough on the final day, that's the end of Arsenal's shot at the top four trophy.
4-0 and The West Ham Way turns out to be not giving a **** as they've nothing to play for [except a couple of million quid per placing in the league]. Perhaps they'll all take a reduction next season. Tbf, I'm slightly glad that they don't care, but I'd have preferred a draw.
Interesting bit of trivia. For the umpteenth time this season, the sports analytics machine SAM has seemingly hedged its bets: Yes, it correctly predicted an Away win, but decided that the best way to do that was by having the score settle at 1-1, which it decided was the least probable outcome. I should say that its predictions tend to be a lot better than Lawro's, even if the score lines appear a bit odd.
