Zero intrigue on the last day though.

Utd are playing Moyes Boys tomorrow

I'm actually a bit fearful

Number None, Wednesday, 9 May 2018 20:59 (six years ago) link

Oh wait you've got Watford as well. No way you don't get at least a point from those, probably all six.

Just realised Chelsea can still qualify. I was enjoying laughing at their misfortune.

Matt DC, Wednesday, 9 May 2018 21:05 (six years ago) link

Only way Chelsea can qualify is if Liverpool lose to Brighton at Anfield. I know they've got the CL final to think about but that seems...unlikely.

groovypanda, Wednesday, 9 May 2018 21:09 (six years ago) link

I think Liverpool will be very motivated enough to see off Brighton on't last day.

Congrats Calz! They declared it on Dutch radio while I was driving home tonight: "HTFC are staying up in the PL after nicking two points of both City and Chelsea!" <3

Is Wagner on his way out?

lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 9 May 2018 21:51 (six years ago) link

probably, who knows. He was very tearful tonight, so perhaps. Despite everything and the final result, his tactics were absolutely abysmal tonight! But I will be crying myself if he leaves!

calzino, Wednesday, 9 May 2018 22:48 (six years ago) link

tbf it was a completely freak equaliser that came off the nose of a chelsea player from an attempted clearance. But sitting back from that point was almost suicidal, and barring the world class save from Lossl -we'd still be in the mix. but there is no denying he is a very special manager.

calzino, Wednesday, 9 May 2018 22:55 (six years ago) link

That will not to lose tonight was real fucking Stalingrad stuff.

calzino, Wednesday, 9 May 2018 23:04 (six years ago) link

The fact that the league ends on May 12th, but also has to cram in 6 games over 2 weeks at Christmas and then fill in all the games they skipped for the FA Cup during the last two weeks of the season is a bad way of organising things, and can only presume it works in favour of clubs with much deeper squads.

Also thanks Huddersfield - great they stayed up. Can they please get a less blindingly horrible kit design next season.

in twelve parts (lamonti), Thursday, 10 May 2018 06:23 (six years ago) link

It's a variation of our "iconic" '91 Gola away kit which was also ugly as hell and often pops up on worst kit ever lists, bad retro from some fuckwit in the commercial dept there.

calzino, Thursday, 10 May 2018 07:16 (six years ago) link

Apologies in advance

Whoever's idea it was to bring that back ought to be forced to watch the 4 hour When Northside met Shed 7 documentary, if there was such a thing.

hepatitis groan (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 10 May 2018 07:49 (six years ago) link

oh god i've just had another idea to spend the whole day creating a script for it on ilx using cut-ups of extant interviews

hepatitis groan (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 10 May 2018 07:50 (six years ago) link

Coombes and the Kasabian douche whose name i've just had to google

Nult in very sombre form in the second half of that piece.

Tim, Thursday, 10 May 2018 15:19 (six years ago) link

don't know which complete idiot i've just heard on the radio saying he's got another 2 good Prem seasons in him but sheesh, footballers eh?

hepatitis groan (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 10 May 2018 18:39 (six years ago) link

More to the point, the £12.5m Everton are getting for him represents extremely good business for a 32-year old they bought for less a year ago.

Matt DC, Thursday, 10 May 2018 18:55 (six years ago) link

That was Henry Winter; he prefaced the comment with “people talk about Roomey’s physiognomy and how for he is”, heh. Come

Tim, Thursday, 10 May 2018 18:55 (six years ago) link

was it? i walked in halfway thru but yeah i eyerolled at the physiognomy bit. he really really wants to be good tho and apparently that makes up for everything.

hepatitis groan (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 10 May 2018 18:56 (six years ago) link

(Fit, that should say, not for)

Tim, Thursday, 10 May 2018 18:57 (six years ago) link

there was a truly cringe-worthy moment at recent home loss to Everton after Rooney had looked off the pace and repeatedly give the ball away for an hour, Big Spam subbed him to save him further embarrassment. Then a section of our ever so magnanimous Ingerland tryhards gave him a standing ovation as he trudged off, it was fucking embarrassing enough when they did it for Kane, but that was some truly risible shit.

calzino, Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:37 (six years ago) link

Changes of City destroying Soton and Swans winning from a deflated Stoke for Swans to stay up?

100/1 if you fancy it.

dearly as i would love Hughes to get relegated it's not happening. today is a non-event unless you've got some weird emotional attachment to a London club
