News: Showing Us How It's Done - The Other Teams Thread [R]

Citeh 3 - 1 now ..

 

City definitely needed that: a one goal lead vs this Brighton team was a very dangerous result. This should do it.

Beyond doubt now as Gundogan makes it 1-4. City are back to back champs.

 

Its 4-1 .. Dippers

 

Best team won - Liverpool did well but had a definite bump through off-side goals and diving.

Both a long way ahead than the rest.

 

29 years and counting for the filthy scouse doesn't mean anything because we're so fcking shit....

Just a no win situation, any way you look at it. And the fact that Pool have not won it, doesn't change anything else: how poor we are and the fact that City still won it back to back since we did it incidentally.
Just a complete nightmare of a season, one I'm glad is over, for us at least.

Yes, Pool didn't win it, but this should hurt pretty bad as well. And what's worse both those teams show no sign of slowing down anytime soon.
Ole is right when he claims that we need to forget the title for a little while and top 4 is the best we can hope for at this time (and that will not be easy neither).

 

Three African players have shared the Premier League Golden Boot for the first time:

🇬🇦 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Congrats to the 3 of them. For the record our top scorer in the league is Pogs, which in itself shows the magnitude of the job ahead of Ole.
Drop off for Salah from last season, but he's no one hit wonder. Aubamayang is there, as expected, even if I still did not feel he was at his very best. Mane for me is one of Pool's MVPs this season: nice for him I suppose, he's getting some plaudits.

After Pool dropping that 7pt lead they'd built for themselves, this is the moment of the season as far as I'm concerned. Interesting that we haven't seen much of Stones at the end of the season, but this was incredible defensive work on his part.

 

Some people here think Rashford can score 30 next season as our starter. So we have that going for us.

 

Definitely not top of the list as a Pogba replacement or otherwise, but he turned out to be a very good buy for Leicester considering he came from the Championship. It stands to reason he could improve even more next season with Brenda at the helm. If they can keep their team intact, Leicester will be a team to watch, particularly by us IMO.

The Bundesliga title race will go down to the wire next weekend with Bayern v Frankfurt and Dortmund v Gladbach. Should be a hell of a weekend, with both of the opposing teams vying for a spot in the CL.

 

Bayern will not be in a position to give Ribery and Robben a testimonial-type sendoff.

 

Bayern need a draw because their GD is +17 to Dortmund... Dont see them loosing at home to Eintracht..

Jeez. He had nothing to work with and got them promoted and kept them up for 2 years. Both Newcastle and Norwich also sacked him in non-relegation positions, they both went down shortly afterwards, same will happen to them next year.

 

How can this happen if Chelsea is under transfer ban?

Because the transfer ban only precludes them from buying/registering new players. Technically does not prevent them from selling anyone.

City and Pool are so far ahead of us at the moment, it's kind of ridiculous and the thought we could actually catch them anytime soon seems ludicrous.
The rumored moves they reportedly have lined up, City in particular, will make them close to untouchable if they come to pass.
All the while we are scrambling just to keep our best players (one of them being actively nudged out the door by some fans).

 

Best squad in Europe lol
