Brooks at Bournemouth could be a great signing providing he is fully recovered from injury. Billing could also do well under Sean’s guidance

Interestingly, Sheffield United, at their AGM, reported that they sold Brooks because they received an offer from Bournemouth that was way above their valuation of the player.

Billing needs some guidance because the game often passes him by because of his laziness.

Looks like he isn't getting any from Eddie or his side kick.

Crystal Palace have fallen apart in recent games. They barely get in the opposition box. Wonder if they'll get rid of Roy?

Hmm! that's what everybody thoughtfulness about Sheff Utd this season, so i'd be wary of writing off anybody who comes up.

I certainly didn't think that about Sheff. U nor did a lot of commentators.
Wilder was always going to give it a good go and so it proved.

Wouldn't say Brentford or Forest are the same quality.

Cardiff take the lead vs Bristol City!

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sat Jul 04, 2020 4:47 pm

Cardiff now on 64 points. Rovers on 56. An 8 point swing with 5 games left. Not looking likely that they'll make the playoffs. Phew.

Huge for Cardiff, Brizzle have fallen apart since Brownhill left

A long, bleak, depressing return trip home for the Bournemouth faithful avoided due to the no fans rules.

Amazing to think that currently, Arsenal are only six points off a Champions league place.

2-0 Arsenal, played well today

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Jul 04, 2020 7:52 pm

Shame about the Arsenal score, but they have hit form again at just the right time.

Bayern heading towards a league and cup double in Germany, they're 2-0 up approaching HT versus Leverkusen, and for once Lewandowski hasn't scored, at least not yet, he's waiting to reach his half century for the season.

He's bound to be overshadowed by Messi & Ronaldo, but his numbers are staggering as well 421 in 616 appearances, and at Bayern alone 240 in 284 games, in the modern era that's incredible figures.

Its a glimmer of hope for Villa, but only a glimmer.
Villas next two games are against Liverpool and Man U.
Watford have Norwich at home next week.

Lewandowski is a remarkable player. Sometimes it a slight (used loosely) shame we’ve had Ronaldo/Messi. Lewandowski and Suarez often get over looked for how great they are.

He ended up getting 2 today in a 4-2 Bayern win, 51 in 44 for the season now, and he's still got a few games in the CL to go, i wouldn't rule out Bayern going all the way in that, and completing the treble, they've got the squad and the mentality that's for sure.

Tough for Bayern now though, they're gonna have to go 6 weeks without a competitive game and then have to suddenly switch on again.

Swings and roundabouts, on the plus side they get a chance to rest and regroup, and maybe get some injured players back, on the downside your right no competitive action for 6 weeks can be a problem, but every team is having to adapt to this peculiar environment, so they shouldn't be hugely disadvantaged, and bear in mind their tie with Chelsea is effectively done and dusted after the 1st leg, so they've got that 90 minutes to gain vital match fitness, and the unique format is novel for all the remaining teams, so they'll all have to find their own ways of dealing with it best they can.

I think you might be.

What I do often think is that there's a pocket of fans out of camera view singing their hearts out.
