Given English international and top rated striker Danny Welbeck has just achieved 10 EPL goals for the season for the FIRST time, 20 is extraordinary for Wood - especially for one of the lesser clubs in the league. Might be a target for Wrexham next season if Forest decide they want a change of strategy .....
Meanwhile Sheff U v Sunderland in the playoff final after Sheff U trounced Bristol C and Sunderland squeaked past Coventry with a goal right at the end of 120 minutes. Probably Sheff U to go up - doesn't really matter, either one will be relegated next season.

Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid, big loss but great profit, likely future Spanish captain IMO

Massive result on so many levels. Palace go straight to the Europa league, whilst Brentford, Brighton and Bournemouth's dreams of qualifying for European football are over.
Finishing 7th now becomes a danger position as it'll now mean that whoever finishes there drops down to the Conference league.

Great that CP finally win it after two losses to that other Manchester club.

If Chelsea finish 7th and wing the Conference League then the team that finishes eighth will still make it to Europe. Unlikely but not impossible

Highly possible if they lose to Forest.

@KiwiPie Apparently Wrexham are after Tom Cairney on a free. I think Fulham may offer him a new contract. Also can't see him lasting a Championship season given his injury record
I expect Fulham to bid for many players in the off season. Someone like Vardy would be gold in the championship and to boost ratings. The relegated teams can expect a bid or 2 for the known quantities.
Meanwhile Notts lost to Wimbledon in the League 2 play-offs - wasn't there a Wimbledon fan on here? No post about it yet so that's good.

Europe was over for Bournemouth really after our woeful January, however we did enough to be a chance for Europe until yesterday.
Hopefully only really will lose three key players (and hopefully no Manager). One already signed. Great progress as a team but after that start, largely disappointing.Still that first City goal by Omar Marmoush was an absolute screamer.

That was a perfect shot from Marmoush when you see it from multiple angles. Kepa wasn't that far away from it but it was unstoppable.
I think with Bournemouth that teams are a bit more clued up in how to play them and some of their best players have had to keep playing because of all the injuries. It's hard to play all season with the furious intensity that the Bournemouth style needs.

Vardy was 25 when he was signed by Leicester for a million quid when they were still in the championship. Huge gamble for a non-league player but one of the best signings ever. He played a lot of games for not many goals in the season they just stayed up in the prem before their title winning season.
Suddenly when Leicester had Kante and Mahrez, Vardy became a goal machine - the perfect striker for their style, quick, hard working and a constant pest.

Wanted Spurs to win only because selfishly that should mean they stay away from Iraola now
