Chris Kamara announces he's leaving sky sports after 24 years. One of the world's gentlemen is Chris who brought us many great footballing moments to the screen in his unique style. :D

His diagnosis of apraxia of speech has made reporting more difficult for him in recent times. Here's some of his highlights to enjoy.

Everton keep coming back from the dead! :shock:

Few times now they've looked dead and buried only to come back with a big win against a top six. If I'm honest, I'm rooting for them to go down (sorry thecolonel). Am a big fan of diversity and inclusion, and it always seems to be the same ol' teams getting a shot at the Championship.

Time to give someone else a go.

On a side note... Come on West Ham!!!!

I'd settle for a Championship win right now. Because despite yesterday's result I think we're down.

Genuinely torn as to what I want to happen. If my team stay up, nothing changes. Same owner, same Chairman, same board and same terrible recruitment. The coaching might improve under Frank's team tho

If we go down this would force an ownership change via a sale and we would hopefully get fresh investment and proper direction. At the moment we have a clown who is/was linked to dirty money.

All I'm saying is premier league survival is not the end of our problems, far from it.

And relegation, as painful it would be just might be the cloud with the silver lining! Equally aware some don't bounce back!

And don't apologise Lost, i was for Arsenal and Leicester yest.

Although my agenda is simple. Everton's last game is Arsenal (A) so naturally I want them to have secured top 4 and have nothing to play for.

Now looks like they will have 4th to play for on that day, in which case we need to win next 4 and..... just pray!

Record-breaking Aleksandar Mitrovic reached 43 goals in a season by scoring twice as Fulham clinched the Championship title in style with a 7-0 win over Luton Town.

It all ends on Saturday so appears Bournemouth will join Fulham, with the last spot to be decided between the four below them. Slim chance though that Sheffield and Luton could be overtaken on the last day.

Bournemouth play Forrest on Tuesday before the final round on Saturday, so that could make things somewhat interesting.....

Yes it’s definitely a two horse raise for second spot and automatic promotion. I’m a fan of Scott Parker so very much rooting for Bournemouth to get a draw or better against Forest.

Kieffer Moore sent Bournemouth back to the Premier League with a late winner against Nottingham Forest that sealed automatic promotion from the Championship.

Just under 20 minutes to go and Liverpool are losing 0-1 against Spurs - unless they can do something quickly, it’s Man City’s title!!

We’ll b*gger me, they’d just equalised with 15 minutes to go - a dramatic last 15 to be sure.

I wonder what's going on inside Gerrard's head and heart concerning the match tonight?

I don't!

OK yes, I'm an Everton fan and never been a fan of Gerrard. Worst England Captain ever and a thug off the pitch.

Having worked with many Legal Professionals in that very part of UK, I was reliably informed(by a mate who's a massive LFC/SG fan and lived 200 yards away from him! ) the only reason he didn't do time was he was incorrectly charged by police, and prosecution team messed up a bit so they settled out of court.

Hard to be a fan of some arrogant bully, probably coked up, who beats the shit out of a bloke on his own, for no reason, and only when he's with all his mates for support.

Anyone who does what he did to another person fully deserves to go to prison even if for just 1 or 2 months to teach them a lesson, regardless of their celebrity status. But hey, he was LFC Captain, England Vice Captain and was hotly tipped to be full England Captain at the soon to be World Cup.

I rest my case M'lud!

Interestingly Duncan Ferguson(Rangers at the time) did a semi headbutt on another player, far less than what Gerrard did, and served 44 days in prison.

That all said, i firmly believe he wants to beat Liverpool and will do everything to try and do so. It would do a lot for his reputation and get him a step closer to LFC job.

But that all said again... Villa 0 Liverpool 3(or more)

^ would love to see some facts with regards to these accusations...... (I was reliably informed by a mate :roll: )
