The only real interest in the last set of games in the Premier League was who would get relegated. I went with two West Ham friends to see West Ham v Leeds. West Ham needed to win and hope that Spurs would lose to Everton. A tall order and just too much. Hammers won 3-0 in the end, all goals coming in the second half. But Spurs won 1-0 and so survived. At least having won, although the crowd were despondent, some lads even disconsolate, the atmosphere wasn't as poisonous as it would have been if they had sunk to an ignominious defeat.
They just have to regroup next year in the Championship. At least no VAR. But there will be a lot of player exits one imagines. And more likely the better players go. Probably the manager too. Sadly I won't be able to join my friends for West Ham v Coventry next season. But I will be able to see Spurs v Coventry with my Spurs supporting friends. You win some, you lose some.
