Premier League 2022/2023/2024/2025

Burnley and the Sheffield Utd straight back up into the EPL next season.

Tipping Middlesborough to join em.

However, it will be interesting to see if Luton or Coventry can sneak their way back to the top flight.

Great to see the rise and re energized Sunderland fight their way out of 3 odd seasons in League 1and in the depths of despair to be next in line for a playoff spot for promotion back to the EPL also.

That might be a bridge too far for them, considering they have climbed as high as they have without a recognized striker after Ross Stewart did his Achilles halfway into the season and their other main striker on loan from Everton was called back to help the Toffs avoid the drop.

They would be kicked straight out of the EPL if they did manage to sneak in.

Maybe next year for the Black Cats who would be a good addition back to the top flight where they belong.
What's more strange is Millwall! Imagine those feral fans if they make the EPL.
The Premier League and FA administration will breath a sigh of relief. Millwall miss the playoffs in a thrilling 3-4 home loss to Blackburn in their last match of the season. Blackburn edged out of the final playoff spot on goal difference by Sunderland, who squeeze a place.

Luton to play Sunderland and Middlesborough to play Coventry.

I'm tipping Luton to go up, if only to see their bizarrely quirky and old school, Kenilworth Road stadium in the Premier League. :)

I'm rooting for Coventry to go up, because that's where The Specials are from ...

Great result for the Black Cats to go from league One promotion to the Championship via playoffs straight to playoffs for the EPL aftyer 3-4 yrs of despair in league one following an all-time drop from the Premier League straight through the Championship into the 3rd tier.

On the backs of talented juniors also unfortunately a couple of those key kids are loans who they will likely lose.

Sunderland probably not ready for a return to the EPL just yet, but a great job from Mogga Mowbray who has guided them superbly.

Hopefully they have made a new series of Sunderland til I Die. Absolutely loved that despite the time it covered was tragic for the club

How’s young Joe Gelhardt, on loan from Leeds, gone for them? I got the sense, early in his stint he wasn’t setting the world on fire. Hadn’t followed of late though.

Think he did ok without setting the world on fire PT.

Kicked a couple of goals I think. but he got more game time than he was getting at Leeds so some good experience for him in a young side that has been playing some entertaining brands due to their lack of fire power up front.

Losing the prolific Ross Stewart to injury before the halfway point of the season and then Everton dragging Ellis Simms back to assist in the Toffees relegation battle left the Black Cats without a recognized striker, hence the chased Gelhardt.

The majority of Sunderlands goals have come from their midfield and the wingers, which makes their ability to make the playoffs without any big front target men a huge effort.
 
How the **** does cellar dweller Everton beat Brighton who are going for a top four finish 5-1 away from home.

Premier League is a very wild ride this season, great fare....I reckon there's still some twists to come, at both ends of the table.

Southampton seemed doomed to drop, being 8 points from safety but salvation is still 'mathematically possible', if sadly remote.
As for the other 2 to fall through the trapdoor, who knows, though Leicester seem to be in free fall at the wrong time.

Promotion playoffs; All 4 clubs deserving. It'd be nice to see Sunderland break through after the trials of recent years but 'the romance', for me, is with Luton &/or Coventry, given where they've come from in the last 15-20 years.

I reckon if Leeds come back down (looking increasingly likely), he will be recalled for next season and will be playing in all white.

If Leeds by some miracle survive in the Premiership (on the assumption Sunderland didn’t get promoted), he may well get another loan stint at Sunderland. If both clubs found themselves in the Premiership, buggered if I know where he ends up. I know he still has 3 years to run on his Leeds contract.

Sounds like you'd be happiest with him at Sunderland for another season mate that means United is still hanging in the big time (y)

Big couple of games coming up for the EPL with as bitter relegation battle as been seen for some time I reckon.

Good luck

Arsenal gone, pumped by Brighton who have been the suprise of the season. DiZerbi amazing job after Potter left.

Sam Kerr wins the FA cup for Chelsea over Man U.

Yep, Chokenal gone. Terrible performance.

Brighton's rise after Potter also seems a bit similar to Nathan Jones walking out on Luton, going to Southampton, who are now relegated. Regrets, regrets, regrets.
 
I hope you's do Leeds a favour and pump Everton this Saturday.
We’ll be lucky to not get pumped.

They may be staying up, but not sure where this team is going next year. Just some of the worst defending you are ever likely to see the last few weeks. Embarrassing. Not EPL standard.

At least Arsenal ain't winning it. With that squad City should win it.

Spurs in almost turmoil. My only hope is that Ange gets the gig.

You wouldn’t want to work for Levy. Absolute dhead. Reckon Conte called his number perfectly.
