I've really regretted having to work for a living this week. Have do see those sorts of games live.
Interesting that all the goalscoring heroes this week would probably not have played except for injuries.
On this - it also shows how the EPL money has enabled teams to have players like Origi, Wijnaldum, Lucas Moura, Llorente etc on the bench as they are bloody good players and would be first teamers for similarly ranked teams in Europe.

And in the little old A League the game between Perth and Adelaide had pretty much everything. Adelaide coming back from 2-0 in the final seconds of the game, coming back again in ET to make it 3-3 and then at 4-4 sudden death in the shootout, 5 consecutive missed pens before Perth won it.

30 wins, 1 loss, 97 points, 25 in front of 3rd. No shame in that 2nd. Champs league final makes this a hell of a season

That would have won the PL 25 of the 27 years it has been in place! Only more points, this year 98 and last year 100 (According to Sky Sports, but I also though Man U did 100 points in a season)

Off season will be interesting with the comings and goings. Are Chelsea still banned from trading players?
I think so. They lost an appeal? I don't know if it precludes them from selling though?
I think you're right as there is talk of Hazard leaving.

This offseason is going to fascinating. I think Spurs are best placed to close some of the gap to the top 2. We have a stable setup, but will need to buy a few players who can contribute to the first team immediately and flush out some deadwood, as our poor late season form seemed to be a result of our thin squad flaming out; 2 months ago we were in the title discussion before we fell off a cliff and I feel fortunate we made the top 4 (not without some help from BHA). ManU looked to be coming back under Ole but since he got signed they have fallen away badly. Still, it isn't his team and if he is given the opportunity to trade who knows? If Chelsea players start leaving (I heard Hazard was going too) and they can't buy any in they are going to struggle. Having said that, they have a massive number of up and comers on their books that may be able to be brought up and contribute. Can Sarri coach up young players? Will he be there? Will management tolerate building from the grass up for a change? I guess they won't have much choice. Arsenal looked to have gained but still seem to suffer similar problems as the late Wenger years. They need a squad clean out too
