WestYorksRoyal If Arsenal and City both win today, Arsenal will have 89 points without winning the title, the 3rd highest total after Liverpool on 92 in 2022 and 97 in 2019. All 3 behind City, which shows how relentless they are.

Man Utd also got 89 in the "Aguerooooo!" season and Spurs got 86 when Chelsea won the league in 2017. All are relatively recent and show how many more points are needed to win the title these days.

At the other end, we could see 4 teams finish on fewer than 30 points, though admittedly Forest had 4 deducted. The days of 40 being the target seem long gone.

Definitely getting more stratified.

Ironically, FFP is designed to intensify that stratification and so it seems to be working

TNT have it (TNT Sports 1). Sky have Man City-West Ham (Main Event); Liverpool-Wolves (Premier League) and Chelsea-Bournemouth (Football & Arena).

The big 6 plan to start snuffing out all lesser opposition and any competivity to their entitlement is starting to settle in then. They will be pleased, now just need to neuter that pesky independent financial overseer before he arrives.

Any chance of drama gone two minutes into the game.

Tbf, it was a cracking strike from Foden. Just disappointing it's probably over already.

Sky in not believing there's anything to play for or likely last day miracles so they've ignored the Arsenal and Luton games in favour of the Liverpool and Chelsea( :?: ) games

They're probably right - 2-0 Man City...

Horrible tackle from Semedo. Brainless bint. Wolves can have no complaint....WD VAR on that one.
