EPL 19/20

[mariner4life]

@antipodean only need to draw 2 of those.

[voodoo]

Just saw the goals, fuck me, 4 crackers. That bullet strike from Fabinho, the free kick from Alexander-Arnold, as good as it gets.

[mariner4life]

Fabinho's pass for Salah's was sexy

[MajorRage]

Should be all over tonight as I have a sneaky that Frank's men are going to get the job done against City.

Queue the massive parties the world over. Although, somewhat ironically, the parties will likely be bigger in almost everywhere other than Liverpool ...

@MajorRage don't hate us because we can have parties without catching COVID

I dread to think what you can catch in Cairns ....

It will surely be a record TV audience for El Plastico as Reds the World over tune in

Still 0-0 between Chelsea and Manchester City. If it finishes like that there won't be any hubcaps left in Merseyside in the morningm

[sparky]

Chelski 1-0 up.

[sparky]

City have a man sent off. Chelsea score with a penalty. 2-1 wifh 12 minutes to go. Big celebration coming for Liverpool.

[sparky]

Liverpool are English League champions 2019-20. Their first win in 30 years.

[mariner4life]

suck it haters!!

Thank you to the Chelski football club for finally doing something for the public good.

Call the season now, she's done.

@Bovidae It's going to be like a mini World Cup rather than traditional home and away fixtures - makes it really hard to pick.

Not to mention it is high summer in Portugal so high energy football will be out

[Bovidae]

@KiwiPie Originally all remaining games were going to be in Lisbon. Understandably, RM were keen on that idea for their away QF.

One-off games mean it's all on the day. The other factor is teams like PSG aren't playing. Bayern now fall into that category too.

[KiwiPie]

@Bovidae it's crazy that PSG won't have played for 5 months by the time of the quarter-final.

[Bovidae]

Leeds United get promoted to the PL after a 16-year wait. That is the longest gap a side has endured between relegation and promotion to the top-flight since the formation of the competition.

[KiwiPie]

@Bovidae I'm happy about that. They play some great football and it will be interesting to see if Bielsa-ball will work in the premier league. Brentford now have their destiny in their own hands - the only English team to have won every league game since the restart.

FA Cup semis this weekend - with no crowd it seems even less important and 4 big teams so no romance of the Cup either.
