I think 35 points and you will be safe
Don't think Lampard has done himself and favors here, not sure a Championship side would employ him now.
Pinnacle of his managerial career might have been getting Derby to the play-off final against Villa

Someone who gets paid to pontificate about sports is thinking along the same lines as me.

Re: EPL 2022/2023
Even as a Chelsea fan, I admit that would be funny.
BTW, while the Boehly reign has been a disaster so far on the pitch, he doesn't seem like a Dolan-level asshole.

Re: EPL 2022/2023
Also following the last day of the Championship.
Shockingly, Luton (with the weirdest little stadium imaginable) is a lock for 3rd and is in the playoffs. If Millwall gets a result today, they too will be in the playoffs.
Millwall's fans will not be very welcome in the Premier league.

Re: EPL 2022/2023
Yeah, remember that book, Among the Thugs, about soccer hooligans? Millwall’s firm was very prominently featured.
So, go Millwall!
ETA: just saw that Millwall lost today, so no playoffs for them!

Coventry drew with 'Boro 1-1 on the last day of the season..which means they now face each other in the promotion semifinals (today's result would not have meant any changes). So 3 straight matches between boro and the sky blues.Pruitt IV wrote: ↑Mon May 08, 2023 11:17 am Also following the last day of the Championship.

Re: EPL 2022/2023
They just got promoted last year, so two promotions in two years would be impressive.

Should be able to wrap up safety with a win over City this weekend.

Oh but the series "Sunderland Til I Die" on Netflix covered back to back heartbreaks. A good show, but painful

Both are incredible stories considering where they each were a few years ago.
And if you haven't seen it, you have to check out Luton's (10,000 seat) stadium...

Spurs need to stop existing.
Re: EPL 2022/2023
Decided to not watch the game today.
All that's left to complete a wretched season is a win against Leeds next weekend to secure a spot in the Conference League.
(That tournament is such a joke and a millstone for the 7th place team. Perhaps a spot in the Conference League should be a punishment for the team that finishes 17th)
