Can't wait for Ronaldinho legend card. Probably 99 dribbling and like at least 94 shot :lol:

Also particularity as they have many higher value players that won't want to stay around in the championship if relegated; a mass exodus of top players like Wijnaldum, Townsend, Sissoko, Krul, and Janmaat for fractions of what they would have been worth in the PL would be disastrous for management to deal with buying players that could send you lot back up anytime soon.
That possibility of relegation never stopped the players playing so poorly that we ended up in this position in the first place.
Benitez seems to be motivating them to turn it around.

Very true. I still worry about Sunderland's predictable end-of-season upturn in form though.

Looks like you're about to get your wish after all.
What a sad way to end a title race, two draws against mid table teams.

Cant help feeling sorry for Spurs and West Ham. Both teams deserve to finish higher than they will.

Tbqh i think for the players they would have rather it been next weekend. A home win has to feel better than watching the runners up draw on your day off. At least if I were a player. Having the trophy presented to me on field and actually having something real to talk about in the post match interviews has got to feel amazing.

They'll still get the trophy on the pitch at the end of the Chelsea game - I can't imagine they care too much.

A truly magical season, didn't end on the best possible note but it still ended on a good note. Hope being in the CL helps the club grow rather than get screwed with injuries and become mid-table trash

Tbh, I think if you're playing with Leicester and you win the league, the timing is the least of your concerns :P

Anyway, they don't seem too worried about it:

I don't know in how far people over here are following the Major League Soccer, but are there some good information sources you could point me to? A good website, blogs, twitter feeds, ... Many thanks in advance!

Unrelated - how do the prospects for Man U look to you? I've got my fingers crossed for a magical Kevin De Bruyne moment whilst hoping it's not a 100% Ronaldo. Although he's still top level at 90%.
