7-1, Kane hat-trick, Alli, Toby, Wanyama and Davies all netting. What an absolute battering.

But it is Hull.

Spurs were fine with a 3-0 win and then Hull scored...

abominable first half from Leicester. Great second half. Sort of sums up our season.

Perfectly good second goal ruled offside wrongly which is the difference between 9th and 14th.

Wish the new season was about to start.

Congrats on the CL place, well deserved imo. Any idea who you can draw in the CL playoff?

Let's hope we can keep United and Arsenal out for a long time pal.

We're seeded now so luckily we've avoided the Dortmunds, Sevillas of the world. I'm hoping for Young Boys. No Saville.

Hopefully. It would be nice if Spurs & Liverpool don't drop a bollock in the group stages this time, assuming Liverpool make it (I'm certain you will).

Possibly quitting football for good.

Huddersfield won the playoffs and I'm kinda glad they did. Definitely did not want another season of Reading.

Agreed, all Reading would have done is locked up one relegation spot.

At least with Huddesfield up, all 3 promoted clubs have a chance of survival (well Newcastle should stay up safely).

Reports of Arsene getting a new 2 year contract.
I'm not against that tbh.

Curious to see how Gayle does now that he's back in the top flight. I really liked him with Palace, but was definitely more of a bench option. Now he's damn near a talisman for Newcastle, who I think can immediately be better than Palace if the latter can't convince Sakho to stay.

Newcastle are going to spend a ton of money. So i'd imagine they may even sell him if they can capitalise on his value and/or they'll just buy another striker to pair up with him.

I don't think Gayle will be nearly as prolific, but even if he scores 10-12 goals this season, i'd say he's done a good job.

Wenger gets a 2 year contract.

I'm sorry but how, yes i know he won the F.A cup, but that doesn't mean a lot when you're going to be playing on thursday's. Its a club going backwards fast, with the toxicity around the emirates at the moment, i can't see them finishing top 4 either (also because Wenger never spends big money, probably another reason he got a contract).

Kroenke is a useless owner, every team he touches turns mediocre (St Louis/L.A Rams, Denver Nuggets etc).
