Full table with comments: 1 Man City - Success and will be ultra success if they land the CL to make it a treble. As mentioned, poor start but once they got going they were awesome. 2 Man Utd - Id say successful, OGS was tipped for the sack and if they land the Europa its a great campaign. Still 3 big players away from challenging. 3 Liverpool - Up and down. Started well and were top in December but then had an abnormal 6 home defeats. How they got third is bizarre. Poor campaign from defending champions. 4 Chelsea - Obviously too slow a start from Lampard, Tuchel came in and they stormed up the league. Honeymoon period is over though but a CL win would look good. 5 Leicester - One result Leicester 2-4 Newcastle and they would have been CL. Home form wasnt great and to slip out 2 seasons in a row must be hard to take. Great FA cup win but I think that papers over the league campaign. 6 West Ham - Fantastic campaign and barring a few slip ups (Arsenal at home, Newcastle away) would have made top four. Certain entertaining to watch. Squad needs to be bigger though especially with Europa. Moyes has redeemed himself this year. 7 Tottenham - Glad they got rid of dour Mourinho but always the bridesmaids and never the bride again for Spurs. Huge summer coming up with a manager they need to get right and with Kane going where do the goals come from. 8 Arsenal - How did they even get 8th. Really poor season, never showed up again in big matches and remain the playground bullies. 9 Leeds - Brilliant return for Leeds and never looked out of place. Second season will always be tougher. 10 Everton - So poor. Had multiple chances to get into dizzy heights but always seem to lose when they had the chance. They need a lot of surgery. 11 Aston Villa - From staying up on the last day a year ago they have been very good most of the season, credit to the manager here. But if Grealish goes its a massive loss. 12 Newcastle - Fought relegation for a large part of the season but somehow got 12th. It will be another struggle next season though unless a takeover happens. 13 Wolves - Not as strong as previous 2 campaigns but always solid mid table. Big decisions with a change of manager. 14 Crystal Palace - They always just seem to tick over with no problems in the league. Another side looking for a gaffer. Staying up is success. 15 Southampton - Very good first have of the season seen them top in November but fell down a from snakes on the snakes and ladders board. Overall average. 16 Brighton - Same league positions even since Hughton left but Potter is being credited for the way they are playing despite not scoring much. Success for them is staying up but they have to do better. 17 Burnley - I think Dyche's egg timer at Turf Moor has ran out of sand and he needs to try something different. Punched Burnley above their weight for years but are on the slippery slope now but they do have new rich owners. 18 Fulham - At one stage they looked like they could get out of it but werent good enough at the start. 19 West Brom - I didnt get the Bilic sacking in the first place and they put all eggs in the basket with Sams reputation. Thee Yo-yo club of the Premier League era. 20 Sheff Utd - Total collapse after a cracking first season but to not win until about game 18 of the season had them relegated very early. Very poor this season and looked like a mid table Championship club.

Don't know how reliable the source is, and not really a "signing" but this would make perfect sense for all parties. Hope it happens.

It'd be interesting to note the ethnic demographic differences in the constituency Humza represents and the constituency he chooses to reside in.

Gerrard/Wilson need to be so careful to preserve dressing room cohesion next season. This would definitely help.

But you don't say what school he went to.

I think that he is worth a look, at least.

Thats what Arsenal are. When the pressure is off in the easy games they go on winning runs. They won their last 5 after being out of all comps. I had a look at the players they have out on loan and players with 1 year left - its a huge list. If they could get Torriera back and play him in the holding role it will free up Partey more. Even Guendouzi would add to their midfield. They have Mainland-Niles (good player), Willock (good player), Sablina (good potential) also coming back. I dont see Hammers being top 6 again especially with the Europa. If they keep hold of Rice and get Lingard then its huge but they could be done with someone like Loftus-Cheek also of even the Arsenal pair Mainland Niles and Willock. There is talk of Marco Arnatovic coming back which Im not in favour off. Leeds could stay mid table again, they still have a fresh feel about the side but need a few additions. Wolves wont be as strong IMO, Nuno had build something there. Dyche - must be a shoe-in for Palace.

Very neat summary, except Arsenal bullies? Could do with a couple of real bully boys in their team. Will Hammers perform again next season? Will Leeds? Are Wolves on the slide? Would Dyche be the man for them?

This guy is clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed. He's calling people cockroaches after sobbing about dehumanization only a couple of days ago.

I had quite forgotten that justice is a many wheeled pantechnicon, and that its wheels grind, and grind, and grind, continually, and finely, on many matters of public concern, most of which, these days, seem to involve The Rangers, even if tangentially. Messrs BDO versus Messrs Duff and Phelps proceeds apace (a legal term, meaning 'with the speed of a runaway glacier'), and below is a report from The Times to prove it!!! Apparently, as they say in Poileas Alba, Mr Craig Whyte was 'difficult' to deal with - who knew? Mind you, ah ken a few lads who would deal with him readily, easily, and handily; in fact, they are itching to do so. Mr Kenny McBrearty, QC, and BDO's brief, said that "Rangers was not just a football team but was a social, political and religious phenomenon..." I am not sure about that. A "religious phenomenon"? Really? In that its fortunes are followed "religiously", and not merely by its own support? A "political phenomenon"? Really? In that it is hated by the largest party in the Scottish Parliament, its members, and voters? A "social phenomenon"? ......Well, probably. Actually, the learned McBrearty could -should- have said "Cultural Institution", "Sporting Institution", or just plain "Institution"; any would have sufficed. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/dealing-with-craig-whyte-was-not-easy-says-rangers-administrator-paul-clark-69smdctpl Dealing with Craig Whyte was not easy, says Rangers administrator Paul Clark James Mulholland Saturday May 22 2021, 12.01am, The Times Administrators in 2012 wanted Craig Whyte, who then owned Rangers, to transfer his majority shareholding One of the Rangers administrators has told how Craig Whyte “wasn’t the easiest man to deal with” during attempts to save the “social, political and religious phenomenon” from going under. Paul Clark, 56, told a court how he and colleagues persuaded Whyte to follow a plan designed to help the club out of administration in 2012. They wanted Whyte, who then owned Rangers, to transfer his majority shareholding to people who were proposing to take control of the club. The administrators were trying to arrange for new owners to take control of Rangers and set up a Company Voluntary Agreement to repay creditors. In June 2012 HMRC — the largest creditor — said the proposal was unacceptable, leading to Rangers being liquidated. Clark told the Court of Session that Whyte was a “reasonably experienced businessman” but added: “He’s not the easiest character to deal with.” Clark said: “Our view was that if we could get him on board and get him agreeable to some form of transfer willingly then that should be the best way forward.” He was giving evidence in a case brought against him and his fellow administrator David Whitehouse by the liquidators of Rangers, BDO. It is suing them for £56.8 million, claiming they failed to cut costs sufficiently. The pair deny this and are contesting the claim. Whitehouse and Clark went on to sell the business and assets to Charles Green’s consortium for £5.5 million before BDO were appointed to liquidate the old company. The three men were later among seven indicted over fraud allegations relating to Rangers before the case against them was dropped in June 2016. Both Whitehouse and Clark raised a multimillion pound action against the police and prosecutors last year. Prosecutors admitted the case against the duo was “malicious” and conducted “without probable cause”. They both received a multi-million pound settlement. Prosecutors also admitted that Green, who was also arrested during the inquiry and eventually acquitted, was wrongfully taken to court and that the prosecution against him was malicious. In court yesterday Clark told BDO’s advocate Kenny McBrearty QC that he felt a “lot of pressure” when he was an administrator to Rangers. McBrearty asked: “Once you got into post, you would have realised that Rangers was not just a football team but was a social, political and religious phenomenon. Would you agree with that?” Clark replied: “Yes I would agree with that and that was something that we realised before taking the role.” The hearing continues.
