The big football news is, of course, that Wolves will be in the Premier League next year.
C’mon me babbies!
I really like Ruben Neves, he's a very, very good player.
Congratulations to Wolves on their thoroughly deserved promotion.

Blimey West Brom beats Man Utd at Old Trafford, handing Man City the title.
That was a great result for West Brom, as was Newcastle's against Arsenal.

That is actually a perfect example of Typical City - beating your hated rivals at their own ground one week, crowing about it all week, then handing them the title by losing to the bottom team next week. As a supporter of a team with a long record of cups for cockups (City) this one was a classic.

Safety is now so close we can almost touch it... but our remaining games are Everton (h); Chelsea & City (both away) and Arsenal (h) on the final day... hopefully all 4 will be on the beach!
I would of thought it was a bit of a anti-climax winning the league in this fashion?

Certainly compared to the drama of "Aguerooooooo!" a few years ago!

I enjoyed it more than a regulation win to a lower placed team (WHU).
Probably the best way to win it off the park.

You don't need Arsenal to be on the beach. They are awful already. Relegation fodders next year.
Almost guaranteed 3 points.
Until I read the match report, I didn't realise Arsenal are the only team to have not taken a single point away from home in the league in 2018 across the top four divisions.

Best wishes to these tonight.....
It'd be great to see them in the third division.

They made it! A trip to Accrington Stanley in the league will be quite the culture-shock to those Sunderland players who were visiting Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge 2 years earlier!

Shrewsbury's 'unfortunate' loss last night means we retain our 5 point advantage over them with 4 games to play; promotion can officially be achieved as early as Tuesday, but is more likely to be next Saturday.

recent results for Darlo after a couple of weeks off due to water logged pitches:
Lost 2-1 v Boston
Won 2-1 v FC united
Won tonight 2-1 v Spennymoor in their derby game/cup final. I think that puts us up to 10th.

Altrincham's win at Shaw Lane last night in the Evo-stick Premier leaves them with just one point required from their last three games to gain promotion straight back to the Conference North.
This was the fourth attempt to get this fixture fulfilled and has led to questions being asked as to how to deal with such fixture baglogs in the future.
Onwards to Grantham Town tomorrow and hopefully a championship won in Maggie's back yard.

Arsene Wenger leaves Arsenal at the end of the season - a year before his contract ends. He's done a lot for Arsenal but seemed a bit stale in the last few seasons. Who could they get to replace him? Might Arsenal end up in the same situation as Man Utd who struggled (and maybe still are struggling) to replace Alex Ferguson?

Arsene Wenger.
Got to give credit to the bloke. Over 20 years of service.
Sir Alex Ferguson and now Arsene Wenger. Two top blokes. They're going to be missed.

It's now a tug of war between PSG and Arsenal for Thomas Tuchel.

I think what Arsenal fans need to realise, is that whoever they get may not be a Conte or Guardiola who will come and win trophies at the first time of asking, but might in fact be a Moyes who struggles to fit in at a big club

Pep won nothing in his first year, PL Champions and the EFL Cup in his second. Not the clean sweep many predicted. And that performance was with a substantial budget.
Given the state of the Arsenal squad, I can see a few years of disappointment for the fans.

Arsenal will probably have to go through a five year nadir like Liverpool did. Hard times ahead.

Definitely hope Arsenal make it to the Europa League final then... if we need anything on the final day it had better not be Arsene's Grand Depart!
I think so too.
I have a friend who is an Arsenal supporter and he's wanted Wenger to go longer than I've known him, so I've got no doubt he will be pleased.
The gooners I know are over the moon about it, he done well initially to be fair but the club have stagnated for years, Wenger has been in a comfort zone and so have many of the players. Was it his own decision? I suspect not
Rafa is the name on a few lips!

I believe Arsene has overachieved with the resource available to him.
Eddie Howe and Sean Dyche will become longest serving manager at premier league clubs. Eddie of course quit Burnley to return to Bournemouth with Sean taking over a couple of weeks later

Those of us looking forward to arriving at Kidderminster by steam from Bridgnorth for Bradford's last game of the season on April 28th are in for a huge disappointment. The SVR is running a special event for kids connected with something called PAW patrol. Not only will the trains be packed with the little horrors - all the useful workings have sold out. I am not amused.
