Krebstar would you prefer 7th or lower since 6th isn't possible now?

Is this the first time Leicester has dropped out of the top 4 this entire season?

Either, as long as Arteta gives no ****s about the ECL. If we’re in it he should play kids and reserves, period. The prize for winning is a EL spot, and the money is hilariously low compared to even the EL.

I’d prefer not being in the ECL at all just to make sure Arteta doesn’t have Auba out there as a wingback against I can’t even spell who it would be.

I was wondering where the ultimate ****houser Ashley Barnes was today. Got picked up for DUI after the Fulham win.

Looks that way. Worst time to have a dip in form.

Some end of season questions from XM radio outside the normal best XI type. No answers can feature your club, just to keep it interesting.

Favorite match -
Best goal -
Best and worst transfer -
Best and worst loan move -
Favorite non-league match (cup, CL, EL)
CL and EL final predictions -

The last question can obviously feature your favorite club Chelsea and United fans.

Best part about this goal is that it didn’t ****ing matter.

That will be one of those goals played in highlights in future years over and over. Over time I'll get over the loss but the goal will always be great to watch.

Sums up everything about Lamela. He was hurt in training the following week too.

And every single time it's played I'll laugh, knowing they lost, he's hilariously one-footed, which is the reason the goal occurred, and he was sent off. Then I'll think of Jose being hired and sacked before a final, and I'll laugh even more.

To be fair, I do this with Arsenal goals. A "great goal" in a game that we lost just isn't enjoyable to me. I understand why they very much are to others, but goals in games Arsenal lost are just soured to me.

Lots of soured goals these past few years.

Favorite match: Leeds 1 — 1 Man City
Might be surprising, but I remember this match. Really fun to watch, kept my attention for the full ninety minutes, and really put even more deserved attention on what Leeds were doing.

Best transfer: Ollie Watkins
Honestly, £28m for Watkins was kind of a steal. Maybe a gamble that turned into a steal, but a great transfer for Villa.

Worst transfer: Donny van de Beek
Bought without a plan, at all, for £34m. Ridiculous. 425 league minutes, which is less than Juan Mata.
