lack of ambition from the owner - which is what it is given everything that's happened plus them rebalancing what they actually are and where they are - means they've given up

must be hugely disappointing if they go down, this squad is too good for it on paper but they just don't perform

Leicester will be back again, surprised their fanbase isn't just accepting it as over last 25 years they've seen incredible highs and big lows more than any other major fanbase bar perhaps Man.City.

It was similar in mid 90s. They came up, established themselves under O'Neill winning two league cups and regular top half finishes but he left in 2000 and they were finishing bottom two years later. Were then in league one by 2008.

Leicester were never going to get big enough that relegation became impossible like it is for the cartel lot as they just don't have that worldwide presence or status those clubs have e.g. Man. United can be a total disaster for six months and still has someone like Casemiro wanting to play for them and Chelsea will still have endless players queuing up to sign over the summer.

Meanwhile, in the championship Albion could still somehow get into the playoffs as Miwall are markng hard work of beating Blackburn. It's entertaining but the quality is fairly dreadful.

3-3 now and Sunderland are in the playoffs as scored a 2nd by sounds of it

West Brom must be the most pointless and boring club in all of football.

They're in major financial trouble if they don't go up so think next season will be very fun from our perspective unless they get bailed out by a takeover.

Pretty sure they took a 20m loan in January that was dependent on them getting promoted.

English champions to relegated in 7 years. We've beat them by a year :D 

In the 90s Blackburn went down four years after they won the league so that's a decent comparison as the 80s were a completely different time below Liverpool completely dominating.

Yeah that's fair. I was just reading about it elsewhere and it'd seem the record is Man City. Champions in 1937, relegated a year later. Fingers crossed for next season.

The commentators are selling Willian's goal as a worldie, but how much space? Comical defending, and  it doesn't have enough power on it to justify the keeper getting nothing on it from 20+ yards.

Man. City could get a -50 point deduction and they'd probably stay up if they kept all of their squad. Sad to say but that's what modern football is.

Chelsea can chuck a season and they'll still finish over 15 points clear of 18th so it's near impossible nowadays to get an established european side relegated.
