Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [7th - 9th July 2020]

The disallowed goal for Bournemouth and now tonights result has probably settled the relegation battle, if it wasn't already. It's disappointing to see Villa (but not Purslow) and Bournemouth go down - Villa are a PL club and Bournemouth buy all our unwanted players. It would have been much nicer to see West Ham and Watford relegated.

A decision on City's UEFA ban is due on Monday. It'll be funny to see them banned but if they don't overturn the decision there will be pretty much nothing left to play for in the remaining games with the top 5 now looking settled.

West hams fixtures are 6 pointers though. Their remaining games are Norwich, Man Utd, Watford and Villa.

a lot to play for imo

Arguably if they are banned then it would heat things up as there’d be a battle for third to avoid having to qualify for the CL.

(assuming it works that way)

There's no more play-off/qualifiers for PL sides anymore.

Thanks to their GD they're 4 points clear of Bournemouth and 5 of Villa. It's hard to see either of those sides picking up that many points in their remaining games, even if West Ham lost all theres. Fingers crossed though.

Im hoping it comes down to the last game and Pepe Reina scores the equaliser to send West Ham down tbh. I hope theres something riding on that game tho in all seriousness.

Huddersfield v Luton should be a cracker*

*for nobody

People know Spurs are crap yet decide to watch that over the Leeds master class People should pay more attention to the Championship, it's a great league.

Some of us are on the cheap now tv pass mate. Premier league or nothing im afraid lol.

5 subs is just overkill. The lower sides just cannot compete with that.

I watched the Leeds game, I've enjoyed watching that more. Get to watch plenty of it next year too, I'll swap places with you in the Championship thread

Ive tried others methods but just never seem to be able to find anything that’s consistently watchable.

Triple clubcard boost. One month Now TV sub cost me 11 quid in points. No need to pirate when it is that cheap.

I can watch sky legally on my mac and have the whole thing crawl and sound like its dying or I can get a dodgy stream (of sky) and its better quality and doesn't tax my system at all. Frankly embarrassing from sky

Arsenal seem to be doing alright to be fair to them.

 

[omnomnom]

Why would you keep Grealish on for the full 90? Comfortably your best player and he's constantly getting fouled.

Once you allow something it's very difficult to reverse it. The bigger clubs are going to push for it to stay and unfortunately I can see a lot of the mid-table sides following them too. Ultimately the biggest goal for the majority of the other 14 clubs is to stay in the PL and for around 10 of those they'll be significantly advantaged over the smallest few sides.

 

[Robbo]

Steady second half but a solid performance. Greenwood is great.

Game was played at walking pace but nice win.
