Congratulations to Aston Villa, well deserved. 👍

Time for next season's thread??
 
Did you get Tony Pulis leaving Middlesbrough last week, or is it part of next season's MW because their season had finished?

I have taken an executive decision to not include it; Manager Watch is to be suspended upon the conclusion of the final regular league game of the season (5th May for Football League, 12th May for Premier League). As such, Chris Hughton's sacking has been omitted as will be shown in the final post for this thread I'm currently working on.

Chelsea leading 3-1 in the Europa League final as it stands. Iwobi comes off the bench and scores a screamer from outside the box after winning a free kick. 20 mins to go and can Arsenal get it back?

EDIT: Chelsea scored a 4th and are now just having fun tearing Arsenal's defense apart. Can Hazard get a hattrick in what the commentators have been calling his "last game". Surely this has been Hazard's like 7th "last game" for Chelsea.

What was the deal with Arsenal returning 2600 or so tickets for this game? Monday was Memorial Day here in the US and we get a 1 hour Sky Sports broadcast mid morning and I saw that on their crawl thing.
 
Demolition job by Chelsea in the second half, Arsenal were terrible. Sarri's first ever major trophy, Hazard said he think this is goodbye in an interview there.
