Nico Williams MOTM, potential move to Barca, glad I got him in before he cost more than what I paid!

He's obviously a decent player but it helps when Southgate's England give him the freedom of Berlin.

Southgate has to go. A lot of players being criticised heavily after being hyped up. Probably too much hype, but Southgate was very luck to get them to the final

Any decent manager could improve on Southgate, and actually get the players playing well. Only ones who did are maybe Palmer and Watkins.

Southgate has been lucky pretty much every tournament and every qualifying with the draws has had it fairly easy

Shame for Southgate, decent guy but think he has been hounded out

Did well but essentially England played shiete football

Hope they go downhill now with Lampard or someone like that

Your second point has answered your first point...

With the players at his disposal, the anti football was too big an issue to ignore

Back to work tomorrow so can we get the final results done today please

Tomorrow i will sort out prize money and can be added before auctions start

I'll do Leicester v Chelsea by 6:30pm but I can't do the other one

Ok thanks

I'll do the other one 👍

Perfect cheers

Chelsea v Leicester City

Huge game with title ramifications, I felt Leicester's plan to exploit the Chelsea left hand side was well thought out and executed, with Mbappe not one for tracking back, Mendes is very good but he would be outnumbered whenever Trent and Kvaratshkelia were working in tandem. This would lead to the only goal of the first half, Trent providing the cross for Osimhen to poke home for the away side.

HT: Chelsea 0-1 Leicester

Of course, the downside to Leicester playing wingbacks is Mbappe was on occasion left 1 v 1 against Marquinhos, and able to take a chance early in the second half, slotting home from a Bellingham through ball. This got the home fans back on board, and swung momentum in Chelsea's way.

With 20 minutes to go, the substitutes came, both sides making changes, Chelsea taking Haaland off in a must win game surprised me, just to move Mbappe central. I was also surprised Leicester didn't try to shut up shop while drawing, as a draw would have been enough.

Both teams pushed for a winner, but in the end both defences stood tall for the rest of the game.

Full time:
Chelsea 1-1 Leicester City
Mbappe 51 (Bellingham); Osimhen 37 (Alexander-Arnold)
MOTM: Rodri

Spurs 2-1 Villa

An especially close match up but with Spurs having home advantage they always had a chance of escaping the relegation zone in the dying embers of the season.

Villa did nothing wrong here 👍 and it shows the strength of the league that these two quality teams should even be anywhere near the foot of a table.

Kane (Grimaldo), Grimaldo (B. Silva)
Watkins (Williams)
Motm Grimaldo

Fck sake

Well done Rof Leicester Champions again

Changed tactics a little think they were a little bit better

Thanks all for results

Thought I had you this time Rof!

Very little to split the teams, home advantage meant more slots but it came up a draw
