Having been backstage just about everywhere in that stadium fairly recently, good loving luck to them.

Bournemouth's stadium is luxury compared to what Luton have.

Luton’s still planning on building a new town center stadium of ~20k capacity, but I think it was £5 mil or so they’d need to do immediately to the current patch for next year.

Yeah Luton need to spend the money, focus on not getting relegated instantly and break ground on a new...ground as soon as possible

"BAM! The ole fork in the eye!!"
Gutted that Leicester are getting the drop, delighted that my local 'proper' team, Luton will be in the prem.

The Premier League really should have made an executive decision to dump Everton. Leeds and Leicester are both 'good' clubs that had a tough time this year but generally have provided the premier league with some pretty stellar moments, Everton is a 'bad' club, and have done nothing except stink the place up year after year.

I'm melting down a little bit, but after they hired Frank Lampard I lost a lot of respect for them, now that they've farted and belched their way out of relegation at the expense of Leeds or Leicester I will actively dislike them forever.

I wonder what Vardy will do. I cant see him slumming it in the Championship, but I'm not sure which Prem team would buy a 36 yo striker. Then again, he had such a non-traditional career, maybe he would take one last go at the lower leagues

Sucks if getting relegated means he retires

just another cup to win, has anybody else won two EFL Championships with the same team an entire decade apart?

Vardy seems the type of player to do a Lee Trundle and play forever at whatever level will have him. He’ll be 50 and playing in the Southern League Division 7 East or whatever

Vardy is old, lost his pace, and only scored 3 league goals this season, I'm not sure there will be PL suitors lining up to sign him

Yeah but his crosses are so crispy. We just love the guy really. Three goals in three games in the League Cup says to me of course I want him when we face League opponents .

I would guess that's around the area they will rebound in their first season if everything clicks. A real coach(Poch) and a number 9(Nkunku) will improve most of their issues imo. They had a quite solid defense if you look at the stats but just had management issues and no real striker. I think at the very least Poch should challenge for EL spot or Conference league spot, maybe get to a domestic cup final that would be realistic and decent performance. Best case scenario is somehow they are top 4 contenders with possibly some teams like Manu and Newcastle dropping off. Poch likes using young players so don't know if he will be able to do that in his first season.

Of course hard to say now, maybe Newcastle will spend half a billion and Manchester will get Kane then it gets even harder.

Chelsea have some long-term things to deal with like their stadium being small, no European league money next season but a huge wage bill to cover. I wonder if they're already writing off next season with the only must-have objective being to stay up, and will have a fire sale over the summer window to try and get the accounts looking half decent. Though they will still sack Poch if he doesn't get them into the top six spot by November.

Yeah the owner who predicted his team of dipshit fuckups managed by Frank LLLLLLLampard would beat Real Madrid 3-0 in the Bernabeu is going to be content with just balancing the books and riding things out. They're going to spend £400 million and sack 4 managers next year.

Who was the worst transfer this season? Mudryk or Richarlison or someone else tops them?

For arsenal, Vieira looked pretty poor almost every time he played (to the best of my memory) but he's still young and might be able to improve enough to take up the Xhaka role, and €35m isn't like a massive fee anymore

I feel sorry for mudryk, it seemed like he was desperate to come to arsenal then gets sold into a disaster situation at Chelsea with a ton of pressure from the price tag.

Richarlison is imo worse. He's been in the prem so no excuse for not settling in, he also gets extra points for getting booked for celebrating goals that got written off.
