Quite a horrible story this:

Really feel for all three of the lads that got caught up in this

I'm not actually watching the match, but judging by the first half stats, Leicester seem like they're completely dead. 17% of the ball, 44% pass accuracy and no shots. Awful figures.

This is how I imagine the Norse axeman holding back the English army at the Battle of Stamford Bridge must have looked (one for the history buffs)

Gary Neville was laughed at when he said a few months ago he wouldn’t be surprised if Arsenal collapsed late on and City end up winning the title by an eight or nine point margin.

To be fair, I think a lot of it was more at his suggestion that, not only would Arsenal collapse, but Man Utd would finish above Arsenal. He got it half right, at least.

Come on Big Sam, cheer us up and don't let us down with just Leicester and Everton getting relegated.

I've insisted that if Arsenal were to lose the title race to Man City, it's not really a bottlejob and they've still far exceeded expectations this season, but If Arsenal don't get a result here and Man City are allowed to win the league with three games to go, I might have to change my mind on that.

Far cry from the opinion some had of him here:

You really have to worry for them. Feels like rather than things improving for them after administration, it seems to have gotten worse.

Best playoffs of all time

Of course if we hadn't cheated Boro out of that last spot, they'd have walked the whole thing

"A host of League One clubs including Peterborough and Derby are also in the mix for May, who is also attracting interest from League Two side Gillingham"

The inactive Bury FC and the phoenix club Bury AFC are planning to merge and return to Gigg Lane. Good news for a club that's been through an awful lot.

Is that 3 seasons running now that a team has been relegated based upon points deductions rather than on field results?

Not defending Reading but at the same time every season there are also the promoted teams breaking the same rules and getting away scot free, well other than being unable to sign any new players outside of the transfer window 😂

EFL really need to get a grip. Fans want to see league positions decided on football pitches, not in boardrooms.

4th season running: Reading (and Wigan) this year, us last year, Sheffield Wednesday the year before that and Wigan the year before that.

6 loss out of 6, what a run he is on. He could be out for a duck.

Lost his last 10 games between Everton and Chelsea. Not even Jewell or Davies managed that feat during "that season".

Already 3-0 down to Arsenal. Lose against Bournemouth as well and the James Bond jokes will be coming out: 0 wins, 0 draws, 7 losses.

Has to be said, it's not gone ideally so far

Copper has apparently ordered Shelvey to stay at home after his angry reaction to being named on the bench for the Liverpool game - good to see that all’s well in the camp 🤣🤣🤣

Doesn't Cooper know he can't banish him that easily? They have to destroy his seven horcruxes first.

Unless it's Yeovil and we're s*** of course.   20 seats each 😆

 

Forest lad didn't feel like doing a throwback to what Forest and Yeovil were doing 16 years ago

Had never been sent off until the start of this month, now he's got two reds in his last two games (both in injury time, as well)

£40m for 48 minutes of football. Blimey.

I would love to understand how Chelsea's decision making works
