[Albion] Premier League 18-22 / 07 / 20

They've already paid the fine.

So no points deduction, get promoted and pay the fine off with prem money!

I think this has been the most desperate end to a PL season. Perhaps the long break heightened the feeling in clubs to absolutely do anything to avoid the dreaded drop?

Villa and Bmuff as each game goes on with an unfavourable scoreline (Villa throughout the 90 in every game), launching ball after ball to a gaggle of giants in the penalty box, on the deck principles abandoned. Diving galore.

Villa are woeful to watch.

Their entire game plan is to try win free kicks and set pieces, in the hope of bundling something in somehow.

It’s about as cynical and basic as a strategy can get.

I don't know if there is now a points deduction, but at the time Bournemouth broke FFP the penalty was a fine, and unlike QPR they paid it at the time.

Poor old plucky

If Man City tonk Watford then Eddie still has a lifeline.

Do we want Plucky to escape? Im one of the posters who do not really dislike Bournemouth and in a way admire how a small club, not unlike us, have played in one of the best leagues in the world. Imagine...11k capacity, competing, sometimes beating the like of Liverpool, Man United, City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs ect. They may well have failed ultimately but i would imagine their fans will be proud of their club and ultimately be fond of the nickname that has arisen from rival supporters forum's.

Looking like our game with Burnley will be the dullest of the last-day fixtures from TV's point of view, who will screen it? Amazon? BabeStation?

I never really take a position on who I particularly want to go down, whatever will be will be.

Having said that I also think arrogant fans deserve taking down a peg or two and Villa certainly fits that tag.

I don’t and I hope it’s Villa that go with them

Hope it’s BT Sport and Jake Humphrey

Would like to see it
It would be some escape if nothing else
Also enjoy the Bournemouth games

I think I saw a post saying they have £70m outstanding transfer fees to pay off next season.
If true they will be in deep shit next season.

A perfect summary, all true.

Villa players going down from the first minute when brushed by a feather. Seven tall guys advance to the box.

Rinse and repeat for 90 minutes.

Disgraceful football from Dean Smith. £145m spent and that’s all they offer.

Bizarrely his Brentford team played good football. We now know that was a result of their enduring system, whoever’s got the manager job.

I dont mind. They will be shit next season regardless of division so they might as well stay up.

On the other hand, chances that Dunk stays increased if Norwich goes down.

 

[Dick Head]

Smug in defeat

That made me laugh.

 

[pasty]

Outrageous goal for Spurs Son offside then Kane in an offside position runs in front of the keeper as Son shoots. Spurs 1 Leicester 0

I think Son was still just about in the Spurs half by millimetres when Kane played the ball through. Agree about the second one with Kane offside though. Expected that to be ruled out.

Norwich are down, so I have no idea what you are talking about re Dunk and you probably haven’t been watching the lower reaches of the PL long enough to know that Smug is actually a good manager. Muff need to go!

 

[The Wizard]

Leicester look totally disinterested.

 

[Dick Head]

Nope it will be the LORD in your avatar

But, but I don't want to like Watford.

Oops.. meant Bournemouth, not Norwich!

Reason: if Bournemouth goes down, Nathan Ake would become cheaper than Lewis Dunk for anyone looking for a left-sided CB.

No doubt Eddie is good but if they survive now they will be completely mentally exhausted, plus their economy look pretty poor. I think next year is going to be very rough for them.
