Update on next year’s relegation race: Leeds and Burnley have been promoted.
Re: EPL 2024-25
God I've been a fan of soccer for so long I've already seen both in the PL. (Lots of options for the 3rd spot where that's not the case.)

I'm not a big fan of Vacario. Hoping Kinsky improves a lot in the Summer.mister d wrote: Mon Apr 21, 2025 2:19 pm Spurs would be doing no better or worse if I were in goal today.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

The only thing that went right for NUFC. Villa has a crazy easy run-in so now it’s about staying ahead of Forest and hoping for the best.

Mateta with an absolute worldie to tie up Arsenal...
Re: EPL 2024-25
Proper response from Newcastle.
A nice opportunity to rest players and get some run for players like Osula and Miley. Botman's return was great to see.
Hoping Joelinton's absence is just a rest injury.

Re: EPL 2024-25
I think they did an episode on this in their last TV season (which was about the previous Wrexham season, not this current one). They pointed out the huge financial differences between the owners at their level and the Premier League (and Championship). I suspect that rather than totally cash out, they'll look for investors who are willing to buy controlling stakes, but still keep Rob and Ryan involved, because they're such a valuable marketing advantage.HaulCitgo wrote: Sat Apr 26, 2025 1:14 pm Odds on wrexham 26-2027?

Re: EPL 2024-25
So cash out now? Selling high is good but high is low with one more promotion. I'm sure they know the deal. Sell now huh
Re: EPL 2024-25
They'd absolutely make a killing selling now. But at the same time, they are a big reason for Wrexham's success - advertising, the reality show, etc. It would behoove any buyer to keep them intimately involved.HaulCitgo wrote: Sat Apr 26, 2025 2:54 pm So cash out now?

Re: EPL 2024-25
To make it through the league with only 2 losses is pretty remarkable. And two of their draws probably should have been wins (the last minutes goals by Newcastle and Everton).garyclark wrote: Sun Apr 27, 2025 12:55 pm Liverpool were the class of the league this year.

Slot took a job that could have been a nightmare, and instead built on what Klopp had left him, and didn't try to replicate Jurgen.

Re: EPL 2024-25
And I thank them for that. Chelsea has a tough road to secure a top-five finish and every bit helps. According to the computers, Chelsea's chances went from about 40% to close to 50% with that Forest loss. In the end though, it's mostly going to come down to Chelsea vs Newcastle and then Chelsea vs Forest on the last day.

Re: EPL 2024-25
This is a great article...
Leicester v Southampton may be El Crapico – but it’s a game with meaning
Leicester v Southampton may be El Crapico – but it’s a game with meaning
They’re calling it the worst Premier League game in history. They’re calling it El Chaffico. El Crapico. The Derby Della Mediocre. They’re calling it the first Premier League game in which both teams somehow manage to lose. They’re posting memes of old men playing walking football and Sideshow Bob stepping on rakes.
They’re mentioning the fact that none of the three relegated teams have won more games against Premier League opposition than Paris Saint-Germain have. The fact that since Leicester scored their last league goal at home, Southampton have sacked a manager, appointed an interim, appointed a permanent replacement, sacked the permanent replacement and re-appointed the interim from earlier.
And of course on the whitewater banter rapids of social media, Leicester v Southampton exists largely as a punchline, or perhaps two punchbags. Leicester have not scored at home in the league for five months. Southampton, in danger of equalling the lowest points total in Premier League history, have not kept a clean sheet in their past 17 league games. Something, either way, is going to have to give here.

Re: EPL 2024-25
Watching the Leicester - Southampton match of relegated clubs, and I don't normally say this because the EPL is so deep and so good, but these clubs do not look like they belong in the league. Sloppy, unintelligent, disorganized play.
