Last game. 89 mins

Everton 1-1 Bournemouth 

Leeds 2-1 spurs

Leicester 1-1 west ham

 

Everton are staying up and not pushing for a winner and hoping leeds don't score as they would need to win by 2.

Spurs equalise 

Everton celebrate but hold their breath..

We score in injury time.

Full time whistle goes and we stay up on 34 points thanks to goal difference 

Full times

That's a depressing lineup to see when you desperately need points. 

 

3 CBs, 3 DMs and probably an ultra defensive, everyone behind the ball game plan trying to shithouse a point. 

Literally what Wolves do every week since they’ve been in the Premier League

With all 3 teams playing at home on the final day, it’s worth looking at the away table:

Looking at this gives us arguably the easiest game on paper , with west ham being the worst team on their travels - Leeds the thoughts fixture

Didn't we already achieve this in the home game against Arsenal earlier in the season?

Weren't we the first team ever to achieve 0% possession in a 5 minute spell away at Man City last season? 

 

I remember the stat coming up on Sky.

Yeah. Depends how they define 0.00. We did have shots at goal v Arsenal unlike today until the very end

We had one from Dewsbury-Hall that went comfortably wide.

Yeah rather than at goal more towards 😂

Newcastle are the biggest threat to Man City now. They've qualified for the Champions League and haven't even come close to exercising their financial muscle.

If you think about it, that Everton last minute equaliser is now cancelled out. It must’ve given them a lift but now it means **** all. The scenario is exactly the same with our draw. On the other hand, us taking this point though not perfect places pressure on them. 
 

We need to use everything.

[Wymsey]

Most weirdest season in the league ever?..

 

Arsenal bottling title opportunity.

Chelsea where they are.

Everton (fingers crossed) going down.

Brighton surpassing many people's expectations..

No 2015/16. People forgot how high Saints (6th) and W Ham (7th) finished that season. Us champions. 
 

Liverpool finished 8th and Chelsea 10th. 
 

Two huge clubs Newcastle and Villa went down.

Sort of. If Everton lose and we draw, without that point against Wolves we would have jumped Everton. So that point is worth something to them. However, Everton are still under pressure to beat Bournemouth

Man City getting 4th on the final day with 66 points due to the United game being postponed due to a fake bomb alert is up there with the weirdness

 

 

Stoke up in 9th too

They were clear league leaders at the start of April and ended up losing the title with Man City having 3 games left 

 

If they held on at Liverpool and West Ham they’d probably be champions now

It's one season though. See how they get on next season with European Competition plus the League.

Yeah, that combo has really slowed Man City down!

If Newcastle aren't contenders next season they soon will be. They have almost literally all the money in the world.

It's hard to imagine the top end of the Premier League getting more boring than it already is, but I suspect it's going to...

They don't have financial muscle, yet. They have rich owners and they will need to build the brand and create income, like Man City have, but within the rules. Their yearly revenue is similar to ours and they splashed the cash in recent windows and not really sold, so FFP will grind them to a halt soon enough. Rich owners doesn't equal rich club.

Annoying that Bournemouth refuse to draw away games.

I actually didn't realise that Bournemouth were that good on their travels. They must have an outstanding record against the bottom five as well.

 

They've done us, Forest, Leeds, Everton and Southampton at least once each.

Sky interviewing an American Newcastle fan who flew in for the game last night 'its been good, but it's getting hard to pick up tickets as we are getting more successful'.... amazing.
