MTL rather than EPL but a decent thrike to win it: And the scenes after the goal where you see the Rangers bench squirting water at the Celtic fans behind Barry Ferguson is quite amusing too.

Of the three teams likely to go up automatically, I want Sheffield Utd the most by far. Then Leeds, then Burnley. I'd be a bit disappointed if Sheffield United missed out, whereas there are lols to be had otherwise. Then Coventry via the play offs, or perhaps Sunderland - an away trip to...

The thing is, it will only take a couple of key results to go for or against us and we could be top 5 or 9th! As if to prove the point, Villa and Newcastle at home coming up soon. 12 pointer!

How about the team that lined up and battered Man Utd 4-0 at the end of the season prior to that? https://www.skysports.com/football/brighton-and-hove-albion-vs-manchester-united/teams/446640 As first XIs go, we won't see many better line up for the Albion than that.

I thought it was a reasonable question too, but the poll as it stands suggests otherwise. I thought a few would say 2 years ago and put the "low" 6th place finish down to bad luck with injuries and managerial disruption.

I agree, but with 20 to go our squad strength began to show, so they understandably looked to protect what they had. We brought on Gomez, Adingra, Welbeck and Weiffer - all of whom made a tidy contribution. Fulham didn't have that level of talent on the bench at their disposal.

Which is better? This one, or the class of 2 years ago Personally I'd say the first 11 (12 or 13) was better under Potter/De Zerbi, but the strength in depth all over the pitch now surpasses that squad.

It already is really, and it was never in doubt. The only seats left are singles, and as such will be harder to sell.

I feel we watch a lot of those games. Fulham played well, Bournemouth certainly did and came for 3 points.

Before the game, there was a thread that asked whether you'd take a point before the game. I said if this was played 10 times, we'd take 11 or 12 points - so I'd accept a point but wouldn't have shaken on it before the game. Curiouly, the resultant perfomance and xG of each team reflects...

A game they were excellent in, and should have won comfortably. We've had at least two such games, I'm sure you'll agree.

Bournemouth are far from done. They're not choking really. They lost to Wolves because they had a man sent off. They lost to us, because it was our best performance of the season and could have won on another day. That leaves this result. Wheels coming off? No more than they came off for...

If Bournemouth lose this, our point at City is looking even better. Plus of course, it dumps Palace back in the bottom half. A good day all round really. Not perfect, but good

Not convinced by that. I mean what exactly is happening to his value while he sits in our reserves or does nothing in the ten minutes per game he gets coming off West Ham's bench? It's not rising is it?

Whisper it quietly but I think that's our weak spot this afternoon. Hinshelwood is definitely only a stand in right-back for me.

For me, it's more that he can stiffen our midfield and crucially, he can pick a pass.

Maybe needs a decent Championship loan - a Middlesbrough/Bristol City standard squad I think.

Yeah what's happened there? Hopefully just a precaution.

Loving that Gomez is starting. When we win, he's the one the MOTD pundits will spend ten minutes purring over.

In slightly worse news, Leeds slipping up only goes to help Burnley.
