and quite likely most of these

Sheffield Wednesday
Cardiff City
Ipswich Town
Birmingham City
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Leeds United
Nottingham Forest

Might even end up having the highest total attendances for the season since it's current version
Next season's Championship with those teams, plus Villa and possibly both Newcastle and Sunderland could well make it one of the top attended leagues in all of Europe!

I think there should be goals in it, better going forward than defending.

A lot of the time when games are live these days you always feel the alternative game is more important
Yeah, Sky have picked a lot of the big name headline fixtures, which is understandable, but with those clubs doing so poorly and there being a lot of surprise package teams then I suppose it's inevitable to miss some important matches. Still, they couldn't come to arrangement to have both on like they do on the final day?

Yes we still have games like Liverpool v Everton and Liverpool v Chelsea live to come with probably zero riding on them

They put the games on to please the biggest audience demographic who are willing to put one of those horrid dish things on their property.

Hence the north west bias

Brilliant from Rashford. Turning out to be quite the talent.

Marcus Rashford showed the composure of a striker twice his age there.

Good time to score for United as City were beginning to dominate at that stage.

Harry Kane has just got a second for Spurs.

Great finish from Rashford and Harry Kane scores again

City in big danger of not qualifying by league position for the CL

I just don 't get what Navas brings to the team. It sure as heck isn't goal scoring, he has scored a miserable 8 in 127 appearances, so what exactly is it.

Meanwhile Marcus 'golden boot' Rashford slots in another. I hope Van Gaal is gone before he ruins this lad.

That would be my worry if I was a united fan young talent and Jose is not the best combination

Another bad tackle from Mata

He's turning into Paul Scholes

Great finish by Rashford, i had never heard of him at all up until about 4 games ago, i always wonder how far United youngsters will go in the game, for every class of 92, a lot of these so called wonderkids fall by the wayside , it will be interesting to see which way Rashford goes

Spurs are really turning on the style right now.

Bournemouth could be out of the match very quickly if they're not careful.

They already lost wellbeck, rashford could easily go the same way with Jose in charge.

Mata has crocked sterling

It would cost them 15 million not to sign Jose , that's madness!

Thought for a second City were about to send on Kompany with crutches. It really is pathetic that with their deep pockets they are so dependent on one aging and, sadly, injury prone man

That's a realistic level at the moment for them as they aren't good enough to win leagues or champions league these days

I seem to be the only one with these concerns.

After spending all that money at a minimum they should be a cohesive unit with the clear pattern attacking football and a vision of what LvG is actually trying to achieve.

That money should of seen Utd get through the group stages of the CL.
