Should be all over tonight as I have a sneaky that Frank's men are going to get the job done against City.
Queue the massive parties the world over. Although, somewhat ironically, the parties will likely be bigger in almost everywhere other than Liverpool ...

@MajorRage don't hate us because we can have parties without catching COVID

@Bovidae It's going to be like a mini World Cup rather than traditional home and away fixtures - makes it really hard to pick.
Not to mention it is high summer in Portugal so high energy football will be out
@KiwiPie Originally all remaining games were going to be in Lisbon. Understandably, RM were keen on that idea for their away QF.
One-off games mean it's all on the day. The other factor is teams like PSG aren't playing. Bayern now fall into that category too.

Leeds United get promoted to the PL after a 16-year wait. That is the longest gap a side has endured between relegation and promotion to the top-flight since the formation of the competition.
@Bovidae I'm happy about that. They play some great football and it will be interesting to see if Bielsa-ball will work in the premier league. Brentford now have their destiny in their own hands - the only English team to have won every league game since the restart.
FA Cup semis this weekend - with no crowd it seems even less important and 4 big teams so no romance of the Cup either.

Pretty surprised at both results. Happy to be playing for some silverware this season though.

@Hooroo I watched both FA Cup games and Arsenal and Chelsea thoroughly deserved their victories. Arsenal rode their luck a little but had a great plan for City and defended really well, even David Luiz.
United were absolutely awful, no clue at all and had no idea how to progress up the pitch. Chelsea did what they had to do and de Gea was calamitous once again.
@dogmeat Fulham still have a chance of automatic promotion!

@KiwiPie Beaten home and away by the bottom team in the League. Those 6 points dropped will cost us promotion.
I'm really conflicted about promotion. Obviously you want your team in the Premiership and there's always the worry of player retention if you don't make it. Plus it's a really tough battle to get promoted out of the Championship and if not now - when. Still I fear under the current ownership we would be in for a horrible slog just to avoid relegation and that's no fun.
Leeds deserve to go up. They had a mid season falter but since then have been imposing. It would be awful for WBA to spend every round in the top 2 except for the one that counts. They can't afford to slip up against QPR because the Bees have Barnsley. Wouldn't it be ironic if having done the double over us they (Barnsley) did us a massive favour?
We had the toughest schedule post the break but couldn't beat any of the teams above us so play-offs seems fair.
