Rodri only looks half the player he used to be

 

That dirty Brazilian bastard for Bournemouth has Been hacking ghuei down all game. Get a grip ref u bald bastard

 

Kroupi looks a player.

 

Is the playoff final happening this weekend now or is it being rescheduled?

 

Still this weekend.

 

Rodri looks so immobile

 

Most goals by a teenager in their debut season feels like a bit of a forced stat but it's a great achievement, especially as he's doing it in a new country and the others he's overtaken were English and came through the youth ranks.

 

I think it's impossible to understate the job Iraola has done this season. He lost three quarters of last year's defence and replaced their keeper in the summer and sold two key attackers, one in the summer one in January.
I'm intrigued as to where he ends up next. He's been linked with Palace, but that feels a sideways move at best.

 

Might be on his way to bilbao

 

They appointed Edin Terzic

 

Even Twitter community notes are getting in on the act

 

And another

He's be a big loss to the Premier League imo. Most of the managers next season are going to be different versions of the same thing in terms of their philosophies. Iraola is one of the more unique in this league.

His football seems tailor made to Liverpool as a club. I'm surprised there isn't a greater clamour for him.

 

We could still have Hellberg, and I doubt it will be dull if Boro go up.

 

Might not have made a difference but the ref blew the whistle pretty early there. There were quite a few stoppages in injury time.

 

Think we might be seeing a whole new management team at Southampton next season

I wonder what team Arsenal will put out on the last day of the PL what with the CL final?

 

Even being staunchly anti-City I thought there’d be at least another minute.

 

Hopefully give dowman 90 minutes

 

Sunday is going to knacker most people's fantasy teams.

 

Congrats regardless. I think it could be a good few years before City win another one for a few reasons.

 

It won't have just been those three games. They'll have been doing it all of the time.
But yes, it really sets the standard for it now.
