With one week to go anyone up for predicting the top 6 and the bottom 3 in the Champ? By all means do League One and League Two as well.
I'll ponder and report back before the EFL season kicks off

Always a bit too close to call but expect last years PL three (Fulham, WBA Sheff U) that dropped to be challenging again. Derby in such a mess, got to be favourites for relegation.

One thing that was pretty mental about today’s game is that a large portion of the south stand booed the Bristol side kneeling

Should be a unified "kick it out" banner that everyone can get behind. This is so ridiculous now, you have some games where one team kneel and another doesn't, one of our games had just 3 people from one team kneeling and no one else, it sends wrong signals and like it or not the knee thing is associated with an American issue that many people see as political whether or not it actually is. As an aside we were outplayed by Fulham last night and they looked like they will win the title easily. |

I think the knee gesture is an insult.
This is hardly 1930s Germany is it??
This is an incredibly tolerant country compared to practically any other nation you could mention.
It's not perfect obviously, and there are historical injustices that people living today had no part in and no control over. And whose forebearers did not benefit from anyway.
I go to games to get away from reality which is why I don't like the over-egging of the poppy stuff every November either.

In the players minds it's a pro-equality/anti racism gesture - so anyone booing is explicitly expressing their displeasure with that stance
More generally I think it is time to stop it
It is only a gesture and does nothing to get to the heart of what causes racism and inequality
At Burnley v Albion a minority of Burnley fans booed the knee. The Brighton fans sang "He's feeling your kids, he's feeding your kids, Marcus Rashford, he's feeding your kids"
Which made me laugh
