All over.

I feel sorry for Swansea. Almost the entire first team sold in two years, raising £70m, yet bugger all reinvested. In a league bristling with FFP cheats and wealthy owners, what an achievement to finish 6th.

I’ve thought throughout that Scott Parker’s pragmatic, percentages football and PL squad, will get promoted. They’ll suffocate the life out of Brentford in the final.

Really promising young English manager and his right hand men, were all poached too.................wait a minute!

Don't forget we poached Potter and his staff from there.

Brentford are a really interesting team. Granted I've only watched them tonight and in the Barnsley game on the last day of the season, but they play the game at about 100mph and so directly. That first goal tonight was almost League Two-esque in how direct it was. They're on that line between relentless and erratic: when it's going well, every ricochet and second ball will somehow fall at their feet. When it's going not so well, even the simplest of passes miss their players and they're all running around like they're Ezequiel Schelotto.

I have no idea how well suited they'd be for the PL with their playing style and moneyball system. Would they stick by the ethos that every player has their price and just see it as an opportunity to buy more expensive young players from the continent? Or do they abandon it and hold on to players like Benrahma at all costs?

All I know is that it's pretty refreshing and this game is brilliantly end-to-end.

Ollie Watkins as a future replacement for Muzz?

Fulham or Brentford, nice aways when things return to some level of normality.

Exactly this. Always enjoy the Cottage, and Brentford would be a good new one to tick off.

I think starting a new season first time in the Premiership AND breaking in a new stadium will be tough, not sure another club has done that?

Feel a little sorry they couldn't say goodbye to Griffin Park in front of their fans

Brentford for me, a new ground to tick of the list and Fulham still building the new stand so a reduced capacity so less tickets for away fans

Swansea would have been my preference, so now I don’t care.

Fulham.

Cant stand Thomas Frank. Timewasting and picking a fight with a Swansea player yesterday, feck him.

And Cardiff is... Cardiff. Feck em.
