Quality player but this stinks of no chance of coming off.

The state of Matt Targett's (and I use this term loosely) facial hair.... like a pimply 15 year old.

Release clause is reportedly peanuts

You can't not post it. Just ask @Monkeys Fist

I don't see the need, seeing as our academy has such a proud history. The Magpies have a proud history of rearing top-class starlets – with Sean Longstaff, Matty Longstaff and Elliot Anderson among the current stars to make the grade after coming through the club’s academy.

I'm on the edge of my Oceanian seat waiting to see whom I should be betting with.

The people running it are the joke.

It's more than a little bit annoying that the biggest clubs take their share of the spoils and then pat the newcomers on the head patronisingly and throw them whatever is left. Just like FFP it makes it harder for emerging or reemerging teams to begin to compete with those already at the top. You're in the same competition, but you've got reduced resources available to you, so before a ball is kicked you're comparatively disadvantaged.

Exactly, take nothing away from Pep, he's obviously a brilliant manager, but much of the work done in getting that team to the level they are was done last season and prior. Then this season they've added a superhuman goal scoring machine and have achieved at their expected level. Arteta, much of the groundwork was done prior to this season but there was a noted improvement from last season to this, so he's a valid contender. I think for a manager of the season you need to look at the progression the side has made from the previous season to this. Emery has done fantastically well at Villa so again a very strong contender, if he was there all season and they returned like they did during his 20 games then he should have got it. De Zerbi is dezerbing too, but the numbers don't lie, Eddie Howe should have been manager of the season. There'a no way he will be able to get it next season now, short of winning the league which is just not realistic in such a short time frame, finishing in the top four again for next season would again be a brilliant result and that won't put him in contention for it, as they'll make out it's not a big achievement despite our wages being mid table. They may as well just default to giving it to the manager of the team that wins based off this decision. Man City didn't pull Arsenal back in through any great tactical changes, it was a case of Arsenal stumbling and dropping points that they were winning at the start of the season. For me, Pep winning Manager of the Season is a cop out. If they were undefeated for the season then sure, you'd have a case for giving it to him, but when you're clear favourite in EVERY SINGLE GAME YOU PLAY* winning the league really is not that impressive against a number of other managers who have their squads punching well above their weights. * - Including the legal game against all comers; FIFA, UEFA, FA etc.

He'd be mad to leave the project at Sunderland when they're at the doorsteps of returning to their former glory. Especially if it's to go to one of those nothing clubs, in particular Brentford who stole their strip without the necessary reciprocal BFF agreement in place.

Our scouts have come back with their condition report for the Dutch defender. Ah, Perr Schurrs, Perr Schurr's real good. Well, it was nice posting here, have a good life all.

Just remember that in Hungarian sz is equivalent to an english s, so with that piece of knowledge it effectively becomes a sounding word - "the Hungarian".

Basically says Szoboszlai'a not a diving fanny and is much more suited to Howe's pressing tactics. He doesn't push as high up the pitch and is a better passer.

Leipzig won their last four games (including a win over Champions Bayern) to lock in Champion's League themselves for next season. They finished on 66 points. But before anyone gets excited they have only 18 teams in their top flight so it's a 34 games season. Their qualification will likely strengthen their resolve to keep Szoboszlai or at least force the €70m release clause. Leverkusen missed out on champion's league which could influence their decision on Diaby who is contraced until 2025. Diaby is not comparable to Szoboszlai or Maddison, he's more natural out wide.

We've just feigned interest so Villa buy him.

This one's for you 66emmill

The flaccidity of this final day is terrible, the premier league will need to get some new writers in over the summer.

Everton will be delighted to have secured themselves another dire season of suffering in the Premier League.

Without Joelinton, Willock and Longers in the middle we don't have the intensity and physicality.
