if Ipswich win today they will complete the double over Chelsea. Can't see the Chelsea hierarchy being too chuffed about that, wonder how long Maresca will last.

Liverpool limping over the line. Almost like they're struggling to get themselves going with it being virtually in the bag so early.

The teams in 2nd and 3rd are hardly applying any pressure are they? The focus for Arsenal is now Europe and the Forest fire are now dying embers.

There are more Birmingham fans at Wembley today than the total attendance at last year’s EFL Final.

Just looking around at players past and present.. Ekdal seems to be playing quite a few full games but Amdouni seems to start very rarely.. Ashley Westwood captaining Charlotte to the top of their league

1980 we were already relegated and they were chasing promotion I think they fetched around 6k in the League cup tie 1982 fetched around 1000 and everyone of them looking for trouble

Both are poor. Can’t see Postecoglu being there but I’m sure Amorim will be, they can’t keep changing manager.

Back end of one season, probably mid-2000's they were in the play-off positions and brought around 500.

BBC commentators waxing lyrical about the long throw game employed by both Coventry and Hull....I don't think anything in the whole of football leads to a more boring spectacle with both sides playing for touch like 70's rugby union sides.

Subs taking an age at Bournemouth. When clubs make multiple subs why can’t they be done at once. Why do we have to wait for the board to go up?

They have to justify the fourth official - takes seemingly forever if there is more than one change

It's not as though you can always see the board numbers anyway! Bit like doing the FA Cup draw with a bag of balls. The big screen shows all.

Purely from a Watford perspective, the equaliser doesn’t mean much. They’d still be 7 points behind the playoffs and have inferior goal difference. They’d to win all four of their remaining games and still need several collapses above them.
