Well that's the Covid season done and hopefully gone for ever.
Citeh won the league and League cup whilst the Foxes won the FA Cup for the first time (well done them). Chelski brought the CL trophy home (Boo!).
Pep was rightly manager of the year, Dias indisputably was voted player of the year and the Stockport Iniesta got player (I'd have given the latter to Mount btw).
Yernited, Chelski and Red Scouse join the Champions in the CL.
Foxes and Wet Spam get Europa league with spurs in the new 3rd tier competition alongside the champions of Gibraltar, Moldova etc etc....
Oh and Bristol Rovers finished stone last in league one with a goal difference of minus 30 despite their dodgy financial dealings.....
Transfer speculation now going mad....
Looking forward to next year...
who is your club going to sign?

I'm confused because doesn't Euro 2020 start on Friday?
I hope the Gimp's know Amazon Prime Day is on 21/22 June and order a few cases of Flex Seal to fix the roof. Apparently they are spending 11 million on installing new floodlights at OT and Carrington. Who knew LED bulbs were that expensive.
I expect us to be linked to signing 256 new players and spending anywhere between 5 quid and 2 billion. I expect the bookies to be offering odds on how many minutes Phil Jones will play as opposed to games.

We tend to do our business early and so far we've signed Konate and let Gini go. I expect Origi and Shaqiri to leave too. With all our injured players due to return as well as Harvey Elliot and Minamino I'm not sure we really need to buy anyone else. That said I'd keep an eye on Chelsea, if they buy Haaland they may need to ditch Werner at a cut price fee so he might be worth a punt considering we wanted him initially.

We tend to do our business at 10 minutes before deadline and take whatever is in the bargain bucket.
We need the manager thing sorted pronto, can't see Poch coming back to be honest.

I stopped by out neighbour here in Seattle, who displays a Brentford bees flag, to congratulate them on Premiership status next year, to my surprise they are not Larnderners, but locals.
The US support of overseas soccer has expanded to include the Championship. He's followed them for a few years now, he had the flag up last year, I noticed it at the time of the 2020 play-offs

When in Japan I watched Saints play (highlights) against West Ham. Found a pub, sat down with the mrs and started watching.
Realised there were several signed Saints shirts and that of course, Yoshida, was a club legend. Made a few friends with broken English and a few pictures of me at St Mary's.
Football is bloody brilliant,

For those interested here are the fixtures as a whole or you can do it by club well at least on Sky Sports website.

Typical for Man Utd. Apparently Woodward and OGS have just discovered that Trippier is a decent player now that he's 30 and want to spend upwards of $25m to bring him to Manchester.
That makes sense.

Trippier is a decent player but is he likely to replace Shaw or AWB at full back.
Who said transfers would calm down in the current era?
Dalot is in the Portugal squad at the Euro's.
