EPL 19/20
-
Man U and Chelski make up the top 4. Leicester completely shit the bed and drop from comfortable 3rd to 5th.
Bournemouth, Watford and Norwich go down.
Newcastle, West Ham, Villa and Palace set for another year of the 12-17th treadmill.
Liverpool end on 99 points, 18 in front of City. 33 in front of Man U and Chelski for those playing at home...
Seriously though, City's stats are outrageous. Their defense is really good, and they scored 105 goals! it won't take much for them to win the league next year.

@mariner4life said in EPL 19/20:
Bournemouth win and then lose.
A big game tomorrow morning (NZT) - Cardiff City vs Fulham.
Live on SS7.
come on Fulham!
So far so good!!!

First 20 minutes were a bit concerning but Fulham came into the game more and more. Two absolutely gorgeous goals has put them in control but it's not over yet. An early goal to Fulham at the Cottage should kill it though.
Mitrovic will hopefully be back for Thursday as well.
C'mon Swansea

Great free kick from a man called Neeskens who really had to play football with that name. We don't want Cardiff back and hopefully Fulham have learned some lessons from the last time (but knowing football clubs, probably not!)

Yes it is very exciting. Harrogate is one of the smaller clubs at that level and Notts about the biggest so it is a bit of a David v Goliath contest. We really need to go up - then it is just 3 more seasons until we're back at the top level!

@dogmeat Fulham hang on but were outplayed for most of the match.
Brentford must be heavily favoured. Did the double against Fulham 1-0 at home and 2-0 at The Cottage Had a GD of 42 across the season compared with Fulham's 16. Which says it all really. Fulham play very attractive football but just lack that last 5% in both penalty areas - despite having the top scorer in the Championship - Mitrovic who is in doubt for Tuesday having missed both play off games. Plus the Bees have an extra day to prepare.
Still we have a starters chance
-
@dogmeat Haha. Never in doubt! I'd like to see Brentford go up just to see another team in the top flight that haven't been there in my lifetime. If it's Fulham then that's 2 bouncing straight back up and at least one of them will go straight back down. Brentford probably will to but they will be a novelty

@KiwiPie You are DEAD TO ME!
Seriously, Brentford would be a nice story, but they have way less chance of surviving in the Premiership than Fulham. They obviously don't see themselves as a top echelon club. I mean they build a brand new stadium with capacity of 17,000 FFS.
Whoever doesn't go up the predators will start circling. If it is Fulham I hope they have learned how to recruit and we won't see 9 transfers on deadline day again.
BTW The Baggies spent two years in the Championship
As an aside we have now said goodbye to the only ground (Griffin Park) with a pub at every corner of the ground. Their was a fifth pub (now closed) about another 30 metres down Ealing Road - The Bricklayers Arms. The Bricklayers was the club room (and training ground) of the last rugby team I ever played for and also the last place I ever worked behind the bar - one Xmas Day when they were swamped under.
GO FULHAM!

Fucking Karma
Come on the mighty Bees (is that their nickname?). I honestly don't mind Fulham going up but I have a Brentford supporting friend who will be over the moon to see his name in the top flight for the first time in his lifetime.
Meanwhile, I'm fairly sure Notts will now plunge into a relegation battle next season and see if we can find another league to get to know.

Brentford haven't played in the top flight since the 1946-7 season. They were a top six side in the late 1930s. 40,000 fans used to watch at Griffin Park in the Spring of 1939.But a number of their players never returned after the Second World War. Others had loss pace and touch with age.
Tomorrow their club has a chance to rejoin the big boys after a 73-year wait.
