Tottenham dumped it again. Surprised.


So who is going to be coming up?

my bet is for Cardiff, or broader who ever wins the duel between Cardiff and Fulham, Brentford showed in last few rounds that they do not have the nerves to join Premier league, and Swansea is not my pick for this play-off

it would be good to have one Welsh team in Premier, nevertheless

Finally the English Premiere League has come to an end.
It's a pity that Liverpool fans miss the Premiere League celebration due to the pandemic.
Anyway big congrats to Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea for qualifying for the Champions league next season.
It's not easy to be on top 4 of the league table in spite of covid-19 pandemic

Wolves had really tough opponents going for the European competition position while Spurs had a normal fixture. Still they came out with draw but confirmed their Europa league Qualification after they went past Wolves in terms of goal difference. Anyway there wouldn't be any questions asked about Mourinho's managing but I guess they went a bit lucky.

all four teams above really prove they deserve to appear in the champions league...
I can't wait to welcome the new EPL season, I'm curious which team will dominate in the next season, could liverpool be able to dominate again!.

No I don't think Liverpool will dominate the next season like this one. Their inconsistency after the pause make me a little worried about this.
I am pretty sure after like 5-10 rounds the 1st and 2nd spot will be between Liverpool and City.

I think that even the most optimistic LFC fans do not expect another season like this one.
Manchester City will strengthen heavily while Liverpool will not be spending much and City already has a team with more depth and balance.

I'd consider City to be slight favorites next season, no matter the huge points difference in this one. I hope Liverpool will be able to remain injury-free and in good form because they do not have as many options as City does.

I'm rooting for The Bees, they've been through so much shit over the years, it's time they get a taste of top flight glory. And i would love to see a West London derby in the final (Brentford - Fulham), just to give Brentford's promotion a more dramatic and epic significance once they achieve it (:

Btw, we're running out of games to bet on so I'll give the Championship playoffs a shot today: Fulham DNB at 1.65 odds

Cardiff at home are a fortress, but the Cottagers are a strong team when playing away

I had exactly the same thoughts before this season started and Liverpool proved me wrong very quickly. Even when Liverpool started to run away with points I kept expecting them loose some points and City to apply pressure, never happened though.

City had bad spell when Laporte got injured. That says a lot about their defense, I don't consider Laporte as the top defender and he is by far the best defender they have. What happened with Stones? Otamendi is already old and was always a bit of hot head, Fernandihno is not a defender and he did the best he could, didn't watch Garcia enough to comment. They definitely need to bring at least one top central back to the squad, something like Liverpool did with Van Dijk.

I would say Fullham has a good chance to actually make it to premier league. They are not a bad team and they like to play a team balanced game which is really what matters in these type of levels because you do not have superstars you can rely on. Sure there are players in all of these teams that are better than others, but none of them are players that could make a change hugely compared to superstars of big teams. This is why I believe there is a big chance that Fullham who plays the best team game between these teams (I think) would probably go up.

Cardiff will be a challenge and I thought Brentford would be better and beat Swansea but I guess if Fullham beats Cardiff, the next game could be easier for them as well if Brentford manages to fail this playoffs.

Yeah like Fullham had a full chance of the match at the end despite facing a pretty strong Cardiff but Fullham was able to overcome it, still that's how the match from Brendford and Swansea if Brendford wins then the chance for Fulham will be in vain.
But still in the final game this season will be quite interesting too, but it is very sad Watford must be in division 2 next season.

Leicester lack of experience cost them their champions league slots as they missed a lot of clear scoring opportunity. It was a great game yesterday and a successful season for Chelsea, lets go win the FA cup to complete the celebration.

Leceister threw away their shot at Champions league football. They had multiple chances to seal off a spot before missed it. Before we started talking about the battle for top 4, leceister was comfortably sitting in 3rd position with enough gap since the start of the season. But what did they do? They bottled it. They had an opportunity to nail Man Utd at the king power stadium yesterday. Well, Lecister is right where they belong – europa league as they can't survive in UCL with such performance.

That one game I still can't forget is Watford beating Liverpool.

That game was insane. Liverpool were red hot at the time and watford was the least team anybody expected to win in that fixture. Not 1 or 2 goals but 3!

Leicester had lot of injuries as the conclusion came close. They has most of the key players injured. Two of the main defenders were out for the rest of the season and one of the crucial player in attacking line- Maddison also got injured. Also their fixtures in the end were tough but still they had some easier fixtures, they weren't able to capitalise on chances when they could have thrown Chelsea from 3rd and they had to pay with their CL spot which they should have gotten. Anyway it's Europa for them now..

[casperBGD]

who would expect this kind of match, but Fulham is much better than Cardiff tonight, it is just one goal, but this one could be decision maker in this duel, if the score stays this way, 0:1 for the moment, 15 minutes till the end

i do not expect more goals on this one

No excuse for Leicester imo, Brendan Rodgers has form for bottling it when his team is close to achieving something special (Liverpool in 2014, Gerrard slip comes to mind). Leicester were comfortably ahead of Man Utd for a long tike, after lockdown they just weren’t good enough.

Didn't watch it, just saw the score and Fulham scored at the extra time and the game ended, Cardiff 0-2 Fulham. One step closer to rise!

Don't forget Chelsea and Man utd too will challenge the duo of City and Liverpool and once again its not always easy to defend EPL in the previous season clubs who won EPL always find it tough in defending that title a lot of clubs will give them a run for their money, most of these club will buy more quality players to boost their squad anyway come September 2020 its gonna quite an interesting and competitive games to watch particularly clubs vieing for top four spot.

It never an insane game mate because thats the game of football for you anything can happen and no single opponent should be underestimated this is what Liverpool excluded when they face Watford then so suprise winning should expect.

I cannot speak for LFC fans because I know how it feels like to be optimistic about a lot of things based on a season's performance and I think the worst off are Spurs fans who felt like we were going somewhere when we made our first ever appearance in the Champions League final. And then it all went downhill after Mourinho took over .

Defence is probably where most teams need something, in the Big 6 anyway, but getting a Van Dijk is not something easy even for Liverpool they took a gamble with him and Alisson.

[Avirunes]

^^ Right now City are making bid on Nathan Ake from Bournemouth. It is a good option to go for. Has good PL experience and is a good defender as well. I agree that right now City don't halve good defence options- it is either someone very old or someone without much experience or they are not into defence much.

It would be great if they somehow get Nathan Ake.
