RMweb Premium mezzoman253 Posted May 12, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 12, 2018 (edited) It's that time of year when I look forward to the footie finals, FA Cup, Champions League & Europa League, on the box. The FA cup is still free to air. But it seems the Champions League & Europa League finals have succumbed to pay per view, BT Sport have both games, with only highlights on ITV at 10:45 PM next Wednesday for the Europa, and presumably same for the Champions League on the 26th As someone who enjoys football whether it be my club or not, this is an outrage.

cary hill Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Wow what an unexpected end to Leicester City's season - after 3 months of Claude Puel's coma inducing slow, slow ineffective sideways and backwards passing game, bizarre tactics and weird team selections, playing with a faster more "direct" style, the season ends with a 9 goal thriller at Wembley vs Spurs, preceded by a deserved 3-1 win vs Arsenal. I've no idea whether Puel should stay or go, but I suppose I would have taken a 9th place finish and two narrow Quarter Final Cup defeats before the season started, as it represents our highest top flight finishing position since 2000 (Season of Miracles excepted). Whoever the manager is next season he has a big job to do especially with our ageing increasingly leaky defence (5th worst in the Premiership with 60 goals conceded).

Unluckily for the Rams, you came up against a Fulham side that are the best side we've faced over the last few seasons, better than Wolves. . At least you're on "the up" - maybe next year, Swansea won't be mounting a serious challenge, they're a club in turmoil. . The Baggies don't look serious contenders either. .

It will be an interesting summer. Good luck next season, it will be tough to stay up. I think Huddersfield will go next season but Wolves have the cash to splash. That means whoever goes up through the play offs will probably be in that mini league at the bottom with Huddersfield, Cardiff, Watford, Bournemouth, Burnley (because of Europa League commitments), Leicester and one or two others.

Hobby Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Well I'm very pleased with this season, we could have gone further in the FA cup and CL but to break so many records on the PL was ample compensation... Only cloud on the horizon is that Pep has only one season left and doesn't seem to want to stay anywhere very long... Good luck to Liverpool in the CL, btw, Can't say I'm bothered who wins the FA cup, though after some of the disgusting rants I've read from fans of the red half of Manchester over on the BBC website I'll be doing something I wouldn't normally do when watching a match with a Northern and a London side in it by rooting for the team in dark blue... Sometimes the anonymity on the Web can be a very bad thing... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
