I'm struggling to take an interest in any of it, I must say. The games have just been boring to watch. Without the intensity of the crowd pushing them on, the games resemble practice matches or pre-season friendlies. Football without crowds is like rock music without drums..a non starter.

Yeah I agree. I've not watched any of the matches or the highlights. Although, to be honest, the season was good as over before the lockdown in terms of who was going to be champions, so there is that to consider.
West Ham looked like they were safe, but then both Villa and Bournemouth won their games, which was fucking annoying.
We've got Villa at home on the last day of the season - hopefully things might have been decided by then.

So that's it for Latics. Four weeks after the EFL give our new owners the green light to take over the club, passing their "fit and proper" owners' tests, we've gone into administration. Apparently due to the unexpected lockdown that no-one noticed, which must only have happened in the last couple of weeks. Just got 8 points clear of safety too, with the best run of form of all the teams in the Championship. Ever get the feeling you've been cheated? Won 8-0 yesterday, so they're clearly still fighting. 7 goals in the first half, so disappointing we took our foot off the gas. In terms of survival though, it's nail-biting stuff, if the season ended now, we'd be safe. Two games to go, one against Charlton who are also fighting relegation, and one against Fulham, who are fighting for promotion. Hoping automatic promotion is beyond them by that game.

I had to look up Brentford because i didn't quite believe that they were doing that well. From the names of players alone, are they doing a "wolves" only with Danish players instead of Portuguese?

Chelsea could be a force next year if they get Havertz alongside Werner.

Chelsea has arguably the best youth system in the league. This is well documented, but they never got a shout. With the ban they finally did, so all the youth teams coach's work is validated and recognized.

I don't understand how that relates to signing two new players, but never mind.

So close to a great escape, but now we only have slim legal hopes of survival.

Second player i hoped was Irish but turned out to be scotish. The other is mcginn for aston villa. Mcginn, fergie jr (McTominay), gilmour in the midfield, that's not a bad starting point for Scotland.

He's Manx by birth.
Pulisic looked quality before going off, potentially the first genuine world class American player.
