May 8, 20232 yr everyone in the relegation race is rooting for southampton today. it brings them somewhat into the fold as well but with forest's remaining schedule, they would be in serious trouble. after today, the relegation battle teams have the following schedules... everton: city, wolves, bournemouth. forest: arsenal, chelsea, palace. leeds: newcastle, west ham, spurs. leicester: liverpool, newcastle, west ham. southampton: fulham, brighton, liverpool.

Pep has been given everything he ever wanted but all of the domestic trophies in the world can't mask his failures in Europe. Will this be the year the sports doping experiment is a success? 3.) How do Liverpool cope with the possible loss of Mane and/or Mo? Big summer on the horizon for LFC as one if not both of the talismanic Forwards could be off. How will Jurgen and LFC pivot if they're not in the squad next season? 4.) Chelsea's new ownership era: How will Chelsea cope without a sugar daddy to float the club? Will the new American owners be more like FSG or the Glazers? 5.) Does Conte stick around at Spurs? Getting top 4 makes it more likely now but he never appeared to be 100% in on the Spurs project from the outside looking in. If he sticks how much will Levy back him this summer? 6.) Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest come up. Will they be able to stay out of relegation heap with Everton? Time will tell. 7.) Jon Moss, Martin Atkinson, Mike Dean and Andre Marriner all retiring. Halle-fucking-lujah. New guys can't be worse, can they? 8.) Does Sidis stick or twist? The ongoing transfer drama of Sidis from his chosen club, Everton, to somewhere else in the country will be one to follow. My guess is they'll be transfer request submitted after Fat Frank is canned. 2.) Probably 3.) Not great 4.) Sugar daddy floating club, but results are not great 5.) Nope 6.) Fulham and Bournemouth look safe, Everton not so much 7.) Not great 8.) He's stuck, in Championship League
May 8, 20232 yr Southampton have certainly earned their relegation. Winless in 10 matches. Deserved. Edited May 8, 20232 yr by yoladu

I still believe that city will win the league of course but I think arsenal will press them in addition to just Liverpool as it has been for a while. they are flying. And yes, it is only three games but last year after three games, the did not have a single point. This is a good team. Injuries and natural attrition/valleys will occur but this is a damned good team. mojames dumpster diving inspired me to go back through the early days of the thread. @Firemans4Horn, if Arsenal achieve another point in its last three games, it is mathematically impossible for them to finish more than 12 points off of city. whenever arsenal draws or wins, you can contribute the $50 to central texas meals on wheels (https://www.mealsonwheelscentraltexas.org/). please make it in the name of "klopp is a whiny bell end." thx.

Quote Top 5 Chelsea Liverpool Manchester City Arsenal Newcastle Bottom 3 Forest Fulham Leeds Golden Boot Winner Salah Biggest Surprise The last moment move of Ronaldo to Newcastle Biggest Flop Richarlison Top 5 is bad, but I can't help but put Chelsea first. Bottom 3 is pretty great Salah was alright, but behind quite a shadow on golden boot. Ronaldo to Newcastle could still happen imo Biggest flop was pretty spot on

May 13, 20232 yr Villa are playing a well-coordinated defensive line, catching Spurs offside on numerous occasions today... but they're playing with fire. Also... I continue to fucking HATE the delayed offside flag raise. When it's obvious, raise it straight away.

May 13, 20232 yr Sorry. Shitty penalty call. That ball was unplayable and already out when the "foul" of Harry dragging his feet across Emi occurred. 2-1 Villa in the 89th.

May 14, 20232 yr They were in first because they had played more matches than City. City is clearly the best team in the league, by a healthy margin.

May 14, 20232 yr Arsenal doesn't have the depth City does. Neither do any of the other clubs really. That was always going to be a problem in the long run, compounded somewhat by the peculiarities of this season. Yea, we bottled it a bit but when a few key guys went down the next level was too big a drop-off. Unfortunately, one can't outspend City to fix that problem so gonna have to keep finding some diamonds.

I have to hope we put together pieces that can sustain a high level against the Machine. That's why the drop off may be even wider when Klopp leaves. Liverpool will never go toe-to-toe with the clubs that can spend more, see us bowing out of the Jude sweepstakes. I think that's true of any American run club. So Klopp has to find the gems that cost a lot less and hope they convert into diamonds like Salah and Mane did. Sure, VvD was a given as was Alisson. That's why the club spent more for them. But that's few and far between and I'm just glad Barcelona was dumb enough to overpay for Coutinho. We Dortmunded our way to a championship. I'm just worried we're turning into the Bundesliga with one club that's just going to dominate into perpetuity.
May 14, 20232 yr Hopefully Pep gets bored after winning the treble and leaves. City only won two PLs before he arrived. It’s not just that they spend; it’s that they spend smartly and have the best manager of his generation whipping them into a machine. Edited May 14, 20232 yr by Dutch
