I am totally up for the Championship final on 29 May.In case anyone is not aware of the teams to be promoted for next season, I found this:
”The two promoted teams so far are Fulham and Bournemouth, who will return after an absence of one and two years in the top flight respectively. Huddersfield Town and Nottingham Forest will determine the third and final promotion place in the Championship final on 29 May.”

I am totally up for the Championship final on 29 May.
I was touched to see the passion shown by Leeds fans today, and Everton fans on Thursday. Life’s hard and you gotta find your joys somehow, cherish them when they come.
RIP Glov. You’ll never walk alone.
A "Town" vs. a "Forest". VERY English sounding. Love it.In case anyone is not aware of the teams to be promoted for next season, I found this:

These grades are stupid. Brentford and Palace with better grades than Newcastle? Newcastle had a (what seemed like) crap roster that had reasonable expectations of relegation heading into the season. Started out so poorly that they won as many matches in their last two as their first 22. But still finished ahead of the two teams mentioned with higher grades. I guess I use a different grading scale.
I wouldn't call them stupid. But I did expect they'd not be the same grades that everyone else would give the respective teams. (Well, @RyanSnyder probably would agree with the Everton grade.)
Massive offseason. They're all massive, of course, but this one could shape the club forever. Minimal changes and they'll be right back where they were this year. No way they keep Richarlison either. Calvert-Lewin seems like he's going to go. Just so much to figure out still for them.
And they have some ‘splaining to do. Burnley and Leeds want Everton’s books reviewed. Their claimed Covid losses are triple (or more) those similar sized clubs claimed. Something ain’t right there.Shoot, a D is more than fair. That's grading on a curve. I mean, I guess since they didn't get relegated it's fair, but I don't know how you don't call that season a failure.
I do want to believe that Lampard can get them back in the top half of the table, but I don't see him taking them back into Europa League or anything like that.
With all that said, this is all on recruitment really. Four straight years of poor recruitment and that's what you get. I'm fascinated to see how this offseason plays out. There's a lot of talk currently that Burnley's James Tarkowski is interested in coming to Everton. They're missing a consistent centreback and he's played something like 33 or more matches in every season at Burnley. Of course, now that I type that, he'll come and tear his ACL next season.

Offside. They reviewed it because it would be onside if liverpool intentionally played it back to benzima. They ruled it a deflection and therefore offside.I really do not understand why they waived off the goal.
