Chelsea drew vs Huddersfield which should just about seal the fates of each squad.

Huddersfield officially out of the relegation zone. Congrats to them!

Chelsea now 1 point back from Spurs (who are beating Newcastle as of the posting of this) and 2 points back from Liverpool with 1 to go.

Boom, there it is. Spurs move up to 3rd with a win over Newcastle and guarantee themselves Champions League next season. HUGE for the new stadium.

Final spot comes down to the final weekend b/t Liverpool and Chelsea. Liverpool win or tie and they're in. Chelsea must win and hope for a Liverpool loss.

Chelsea 4-0-1 in last 5 games
Liverpool 1-3-1 in last 5

I like how the last week of the EPL season, all the games are on at same time and all on TV, scattered over a bunch of weird channels on my cable.

I think that's genius. All our professional leagues should have the same thing. There's bound to be at least a few teams in the hunt for something on the final day. Adds a ton of drama.

unless my math is wrong, Spurs are garunteed a top 4 spot now with 74 points, the most Chelsea (70) can get now is 73. Liverpool (72) should get at least a draw against Brighton and lock the 4th spot.

That's correct. I didn't want to jinx Spurs by awarding them the points for their win before the final whistle.

Unless Chelsea win by like 20 goals saturday, they're gonna need a Liverpool loss combined with a win of their own in order to get into 4th.

Most the leagues already have that (all play on the final day). Timeframe wise that’s near impossible because of having 3 time zones. But I do believe the professional leagues try this.

Still a half left but Liverpool looks like it survived making the top 4 being up 2 while Chelsea is down 1-0.

But Jesus man, the reds should literally be up 5-0 here.

What a cowardly shit performance by Chelsea. Conte is probably gone. Chelsea will be desperate to keep hazard. Signings were fucking shit all season. Need to sell and buy a bunch over the summer

Glad Spurs were able to stay in 3rd. 5-4, what a wild game.

And I'd probably be happier than a pig in shit to have Conte at Everton next season...

Honestly ANYONE who doesn't start 5 defenders and 2 defensive midfielders against West Ham and play on heels the whole fucking game. My GAWD Allardyce is a tool!!!!

There's going to be a big turnover of coaches again this summer. Chelsea, Everton, West Ham, Arsenal, maybe Leicester. Possibly Newcastle too if Rafa gets fed up.

I don't think Rafa leaves Newcastle unless he gets an offer form a "big" club, he seems pretty happy there, and the fans love him, and word is Ashley is trying to sell NUFC, which makes the fans even happier as he's douche.

Conte is definitely gone, probably back to Serie A.

Heard West Ham may approach Pellegrini

Sounds like Allardyce gone, Silva in...

Deja Vu all over again, only this time I think Silva will ACTUALLY become our manager.

Maybe. I think he'll do well given the chance. However, as Everton fans know too well, he'll probably come in, and if he's not in the top 4 after 2-3 weeks, he'll be fired and they'll bring in Pardew or one of the other losers that keep getting jobs.
