[Football] Best final day?

[birthofanorange]

Well, is it? I think it could well be, as the title is still up for grabs, it's still open as to who joins Norwich and Watford in the Championship and we're deeply involved in a mid-table melee, which could potentially see us finish anywhere between 8th (fabulous!) and 14th (grim).

What a marvellous Sunday of entertainment to look forward to....along with a final 3 points, naturally.

It’s a fairly interesting one, and I’m looking forward to it, but there’s a danger of coming across like a Sky announcer hyping it too much.

It’s never going to be an all time classic unless there are some freak results or genuine miracles.

It’d take something major for City not to comfortably sew up the title. Something up there with the Aguero 2011 moment, or Liverpool Arsenal in 1989.

Burnley or Leeds is fun, but not really an absolute nail biter with several teams and multiple possibilities at stake as numerous teams drop in and out of relegation spots over the 90 minutes.

And the 8-14th order is a good source of pride for us as we look for our highest ever finish, but relatively unimportant to most of the other clubs in the mix.

So a 6/10 or 7/10 for me on the scale.

They'll be a pitch invasion at the Amex, where David Moyes will be confronted by an Albion fan, offering to iron the creases out of his face.

 

[B-right-on]

For me, yes definitely the best final day of our PL era for me. We are comfortably mid table, healthy points and position, made decent progress this season and can see it carry on next as decent foundations have been laid.

The top and bottom scrap? IDGAF compared to the above. Mildly interesting at best.

Best ever? No. But it's up there for sure because of the first paragraph.

 

[Official Old Man]

It seems weird that it is one of the best 'last days' with both top and relegation up for grabs. But also strange not watching it unfold on TV. Any chance of moving our game forwards 2 hours so we can then watch Leeds on the screen after the match.

 

[Seaber]

Only two games (Chelsea v Watford and Norwich v Spurs) are unable to have an impact on where we finish, so from our point of view there are eight games of interest.

That's quite interesting!

Can’t believe there has ever been so much at stake for so many teams - title, European places, tens of millions in prize money for some and relegation all not settled going into the last round. Going to be some drama and surprises.

Wouldn't the Albion fan just want a selfie and ask for his jacket?

 

[worthingseagull]

It is DEFINITELY the best final day of Prem since it began. Never before have the title, the final Champions league place and relegation spots still ALL been up for grabs. Most years at least one, if not two of those have been sown up already.

 

[BBassic]

Leeds to go down.
Us above Palace.

That's my preferred outcome.

This.

No it will be about 83 children all running on to get Mark Noble's shirt

At the top, you'd have to go some to best the year when Liverpool played Arsenal for the title. Then there was the year when Blackburn won it, or the Aguero last minute winner to take the title.

At the bottom, there was the 04-05 season when West Brom started bottom on the last day and stayed up, with all the bottom 4 out of the relegation zone at some point on the live table.

This year might have undecided title, champions league and relegation, but will most likely be quite boring, with City easily beating Villa at home and Spurs easily beating Norwich at home, and only the Burnley Leeds battle being a bit interesting. For us it's the most interesting for sure.

 

[Berty23]

This is the first time ever in premier league history that on the last day the club in every position could change. It would need an epic goal swing for Chelsea and spurs but it is theoretically possible.

 

[Brovion]

What a marvellous Sunday of entertainment to look forward to....along with a final 3 points, naturally.

Finishing 14th in the Premier League is now 'Grim!'. Goldstone, Hereford, Gillingham, Withdean, etc etc etc, but yeah, I know what you mean; it would be a bit of a sour end to what has been an excellent season.

 

[Doonhamer7]

You can just see the headlines - ‘Stevie G wins the title’. As Coutinho runs through after Stones/Diaz/Laporte slips in the 95th min to give Villa a draw

 

[brighton_tom]

Maybe we should have a live league table on the screens.

 

[jabba]

Just noticed that the leeds game is 2.30. I thought the point of final day was to have same KO times?

 

[jabba]

SSN now saying the Liverpool and City matches are 2.30 KO and will be shown live. Brentford v Leeds also on TV but guessing that would be 4.00.

 

[Guinness Boy]

SSN now saying the Liverpool and City matches are 2.30 KO and will be shown live. Brentford v Leeds also on TV but guessing that would be 4.00.

That's the time the programme starts with pre-match. All games kick off at 4.
