We don't have the squad to be farting around in too many competitions, so I hope they beat dirty Leeds to send them down and still still avoid Europe. If you had to choose a team with a soft centre to play to avoid relegation, Spurs would be right up there.

You're kidding yourself. They were in top position and eight points clear before somehow throwing it away. If that doesn't hurt you're not a real fan.

When you get yourself in that position, yes it does, however we over achieved & a real fan always knew it was a tough ask to beat Citeh but are happy that we reached our goal of playing Champs football again.

I just laugh at the fact we are getting more stick for finishing 2nd in the league, with the youngest squad in history, yet Chelski spend 600mil & are 11th & the Spuds have one of the best strikers in Europe & are closer to relegation than they are top 😂

Enjoy the off season all & look forward to it all again next

Let me guess, you support one of 2 clubs I mentioned?? Or are one of the supporters who said we would finish 6th/7th but we finished 2nd & your calling it a failure..

Wrong on all accounts except the last. Finishing second after being eight points clear is a failure.

Harry Souttar had a good game against the Saudi Magpies this morning and was nearly on the end of a ball pushed out by the Newcastle ‘keeper in the 93rd minute. 0-0 the final result.

It will be interesting who goes down with Southampton.

Everton(33 points), who have never been relegated from the EPL, host Bournemouth.

Leicester(31 points), host West Ham.

And Leeds(31 points), will host Totteringham and will be hoping those Hot Spurs throw the game because Kane & co want to avoid qualifying for the Europa Conference League.

How is it that Newcastle have secured UEFA CL for next season? If Liverpool win next 2 games & Maggie's draw or loose, they are in the Europa League.

I would expect it to be an even number for a start. It's not the AFL.

This is something that never gets highlighted, but as you can see the London clubs play derbies every 2nd / 3rd week, whereas the likes of the Manchester clubs, Liverpool, Newcastle play 2 derbies a season. So does this make it harder for London clubs to win it..?? You can see why the Spuds have never won one 😂

On a side note, the Gooners this season were the first London team in Premier League history to go undefeated in all London derbies

Yeah watched that dramatic win over Coventry in the exciting play-off at a full Wembley to get promoted to the EPL.

And they did that after losing their captain to a serious injury very early in the game.

With their small home ground it will surely be all-ticket affairs there next season. Do they have to allow a small contingent of away fans?

Yes ,they do have to provide allocation . Just like Bournemouth which has a capacity of 11.3k, while Kenilworth Road capacity is 10.3k.

Is it a fixed number of seats or a percentage of the capacity?
