@SnakeDoc Looks like we both missed this one. Probably a smart move on Potter's part.

Probably, since its not a given that they won't be relegated.

If they are, they would tear up the Championship next season.

The Mrs. is a Liverpool fan, but may not be much longer if FSG sells to the Qatar group.

Yeah, if they become a Qatar team... I'm out. I'll be looking for a new team.

If City winds up being guilty of all the FFP stuff , then I'll be getting a new team, as well.

Aston Villa down Leicester, 2-1, at The King Power in their first post-Rodgers era match.

A late strike from Bertrand Traore saw Aston Villa to a dramatic 2-1 win against managerless Leicester, who are now two points from Premier League safety.

Current Premier League standings.

Couple of thoughts . . .

• The race for the 4th spot is heating up and, IMO, looks likely to go to Man United the longer Spurs wait to appoint a full time manager.
• Liverpool looks more and more likely to miss out on European football next season. I haven't look at their schedule vs. the schedules of the teams above them, but making up 7 points in 10 games might be too much to ask.
• Starting to worry about Leicester in the relegation battle. Luckily for them, they are second best in goal differential amongst all the teams at the bottom of the table.

Wrexham still 3 points clear at the top of the National League table over Notts County. Wrexham's current magic number is 112 points if they maintain their lead in goal differential, 113 points without it. Next week's match up between Wrexham and Notts County at the Racecourse will most likely be the deciding match.

The current National League record for points in a season is 105, by Crawley Town in 2010-11. Both Wrexham and Notts County are likely to better that by the end of the season.

I'd love to see Wrexham get the automatic promotion, and Notts County win the playoff. It would be a shame if both broke the previous record and one didn't get promoted.

As a non-Chelsea fan, it seems like there is plenty of talent to be top 4, but too much to actually sort through and settle on a starting 11 and sub rotation.

Y'all should be able to recoup some funds through outgoing transfers this summer, though.

Would Enrique take the job, if offered? UCL is quite an ask as many points behind 4th with only 10 games left.

I could definitely see this happening if Leicester are relegated.

From what I can gather over on the Wrexham board, they're playing like crap today.
