    He is terrible. It’s like he doesn’t know the rules. Earlier Pulisic has the ball for about a minute trying to play him in and he was just stood 5 yards offside. Then he went mental at Pulisic when he didn’t pass to him

    My ideal end to the season

    Man City lose all their remaining fixtures
    Man Utd win all their remaining fixtures winning PL by 2 point







    Man United then given 3 point deduction for the postponed Liverpool match and their plastic fans cost them the title

    Jimenez takes that ball down and puts it away. Wolves have so, so missed him.

    The team who love to go 1-0 down strike again.

    Wolves should just ask to start every match 1-0 down.

    I'm one of Pepe's biggest critics, but that's applause-worthy.

    I'm sure that this is being reported elsewhere, but it's Premier League, not actually Saints, so here is as good a place as any:

    Arsenal are beating WBA 1-0, so if this trend continues, and WBA lose, Saints will have another toehold on guaranteed safety. Then just needs us to beat Palace, and/or Fulham to lose to Burnley, and we can stop panicking. Probably.

    Poor old big Sam has now lost his 'never relegated from the premier league' tag and can go back to being best known for ****ing up the England job.

    If West Brom go on to lose this, and Fulham lose tomorrow then we're safe. If Fulham draw tomorrow that would leave them needing to beat us, Man Utd and Newcastle to overhaul us by virtue of GD (and that's if we lose all 4 of our remaining games). If they win tomorrow that gives them a little more leeway in terms of still being able to draw a game and catch our current total, but still relies on us losing all of ours. I wish we'd just hurry up and get the win ourselves, but even given our awful form, it will take another few rounds of results going awfully for us for the panic that it could really happen to start setting in.

    With City running away with things, a clear gap between fourth and fifth in the table, and between eighteenth and seventeenth, any issues relating to the top team, Champions League places, and relegation places will almost certainly be resolved before the final day of the season. So how will Sky be able to inject any jeopardy or excitement into the final round of fixtures? In short, no team will have anything major to play for, apart from their relative positions, or possibly Europa League places, so the Sky pundits will need to generate their own excitement. How about "Where's Kamara going to be today?"

    He's got his resignation email drafted, ready to press send on 89 minutes before anything is official.

    I wonder how much they’ll get for Pereira in the summer?

    Is there? Liverpool are six behind with a game in hand.

    And Leicester finish with Man Utd, Chelsea and Spurs. So even the five point gap to West Ham (and to Everton if they win their own game in hand) can still be overcome.

    Brendy, anything (well, almost anything) is possible, but it looks very likely that there will be nothing major to play for on the last day of the season. In which case, Sky may resort to showing competitive ballroom dancing, or similar, just to keep interest.

    And Burnley have every incentive of their own to turn up tomorrow.

    Despite being higher in the table, Fulham would be better off playing someone like Palace, Wolves or Villa than Burnley. (So we really have no excuses on Tuesday, should Fulham avoid defeat tomorrow.)
