There have been rumours of Bayern being really interested but was expecting more of a saga over his departure.

Don't think I was even close a couple of months ago. Somehow stumbled into top spot.

Congratulations to Chelsea Women for lifting a fifth straight Title in a row.. Thought the season might fade and they would end up with nothing but they turned it around in the last 3 games of the season to end on a high.. A fitting end to Emma Hayes time with the club and congrats to all players that made it happen..

Well done @6666 well played!! Thanks for running this @Rucksackfranzose always good to participate..

Still not sure what to make of Brighton. Ignoring the mainstream noise, certain clubs seem to be about trying to change the order of things. With Brighton, it does feel to me there is contentment around having got far as they have. Changing managers & significantly redecorating the squad is surely not always going to work. Yes, it has worked brilliantly for them. And how many sides below, in the Championship & further down would love to copy Brighton? But then realistically, how far ahead are they of the 7 sides below, more widely considered to be keeping a closer eye on the bottom end? I do think it would be brave if a 'big' club has gone in for De Zerbi.

GTA6.

Congrats 6666, this was a banger of a year to predict. Thanks for all your hard work as usual Ruck, it's always fun to play along.

Wel, @nawoo predicted less than half of the season, so no reason to celebrate that.

Congrats 6666 and well done Rucks for running this game and will look forward to the next one. On a side note, thank fuck I never won the wooden spoon.

2 of your 5 a day.

Two. But to be fair, I already ate some of the leftover fillings before I ate the peppers.

Congrats, 6666! And yea, thanks for running this. Well done as always @Rucksackfranzose! 2nd place is not bad. Nice jump on the last matchday there.

Oxford will get slaughtered in the Championship but that's one hell of an achievement for them to get there in the first place.

Well done @6666! And thanks as ever @Rucksackfranzose for running it!

This has been one honker of a performance from Bolton.

Ladies and gents, we have a winner, the only question left is who will win the bonus round, still that has no bearing on the final table and won't be waited for by me, therefore. On a sidenote: Hats off to @Coma, while there were 4 players predicting another champion than Bayern, he was the only one winning the full 3 points for predicting them finishing on 3rd spot. Bonus round 1) or 2) Michael 14 points 2) or 1) 6666 13 points (15 points if Leverkusen win the cup finale) 2) or 3) Tommy 13 points 2) or 3) Viva la FCB 13 points 5) Coma 11 points 6) Stan 10 points 7) Bluewolf 8 points 7) CaaC (John) 8 points 9) nawoo 6 points 9) Rucksackfranzose 6 points Congrats 6666 on winning this year's edition! FINAL TABLE 1) @6666 252 points, possibly 254 2) @Tommy 248 points 3) @Michael 244 points 4) @Bluewolf 241 points 5) @Stan 240 points 5) @Viva la FCB 240 points 7) @Coma 211 points 8- Rucksackfranzose 198 points 9) @CaaC (John) 192 points 10) @nawoo 157 points Disclaimer: To make it easier for you to check your bonus round points here are the correspondending Buli final standings. Top 4 positions 1) Leverkusen 2) Stuttgart 3) Bayern 4) Leipzig Bottom 3 spots 16) Bochum 17) Köln 18) Darmstadt DFB-Pokal winner Leverkusen or Lautern semifinalists: Fortuna Düsseldorf and Saarbrücken Top scorer Harry Kane 36 goals

How many first choices do this lot have? My first thought is he's off to Juventus. If that's the case then Brighton should go to Thiago Motta whose about as like-for-like replacement with an impressive CV you're going to get for Roberto De Zerbi.

An very uneventful matchday for us. Worth mentioning both CaaC(John) and me won 2 points each with our identical Hoffenheim 2-0 Bayern prediction. Matchday 34 1) Tommy 10 points 2) 6666 8 points 2) CaaC(John) 8 points 2) Coma 8 points 5) Rucksackfranzose 7 points 6) Bluewolf 5 points 6) Michael 5 points 6) Stan 5 points 9) Viva la FCB 3 points This is, and can't stretch that enough, not the final table. I'll count the bonus round in the course of the next hour and will post its result, depending on whether the league is decided or not (6666 has the chance to add 2 more points to his 3 he already has in the bag for his cup winner's prediction Leverkusen, if they defy the odds and beat Lautern in the final. ) either afterwards or next week. Table after 34 matchdays 1) @6666 239 points 2) @Tommy 235 points 3) @Bluewolf 233 points 4) @Michael 230 points 4) @Stan 230 points 6) @Viva la FCB 227 points 7) @Coma 200 points 8- Rucksackfranzose 192 points 9) @CaaC (John) 184 points 10) @nawoo 151 points

Josh Murphy has been winding back the years this first half. Deserved 2-0 lead.

Look good, how many do you eat in one sitting?

Kane comes 3rd in a 2-horse race

And Union get a last minute winner to secure survival Heidenheim in Europe if Leverkusen win the DFB Pokal...
