EPL 19/20

@KiwiPie Beaten home and away by the bottom team in the League. Those 6 points dropped will cost us promotion.
I'm really conflicted about promotion. Obviously you want your team in the Premiership and there's always the worry of player retention if you don't make it. Plus it's a really tough battle to get promoted out of the Championship and if not now - when. Still I fear under the current ownership we would be in for a horrible slog just to avoid relegation and that's no fun.
Leeds deserve to go up. They had a mid season falter but since then have been imposing. It would be awful for WBA to spend every round in the top 2 except for the one that counts. They can't afford to slip up against QPR because the Bees have Barnsley. Wouldn't it be ironic if having done the double over us they (Barnsley) did us a massive favour?
We had the toughest schedule post the break but couldn't beat any of the teams above us so play-offs seems fair.

That championship promotion battle was intense - all 3 of them didn't win. Having won every game after lockdown, Brentford got to the point of needing one win out of 2 to go up and lose both games. Fulham didn't win on the final day leaving West Brom to crawl over the line as automatically promoted.
Incredible finish for the final play-off spot.
Forest 3 point clear of Swansea and with a goal difference of +11, Swansea on +6. Forest at home and Swansea away. Seemingly no way for Swansea to get in the play-offs. Forest lose 1-4, Swansea win 1-4 and Swansea are in by a single goal. As a Notts County fan this makes me laugh!
Man U only draw against West Ham - Chelsea are pumped 5-3 by Liverpool. A draw will be enough for United and Chelsea to be in the top 4. Leicester need a win to get there as they are playing United. Chelsea play Wolves - if Chelsea lose, Leicester finish 4th with a draw.

@KiwiPie we were never in the hunt on the last day. West Brom's goal difference much better than ours.
We dropped 13 points over the season against the bottom four teams FFS! The same as we dropped against the top 4 (including Cardiff).
I hate the play-offs

@mariner4life Be better if there was a crowd to give it some atmosphere. A fitting end to a high scoring game at home against Chelski.

Their entire fan base who aren’t mid life football warriors who’ve never set foot in Liverpool were there to see it!

it was also nice that the Chelsea Football Club was there to get a good look as well. I'm sure they enjoyed it

Was a good game to watch, definitely. Players a bit young to support, but given none of them are from a Liverpool, highly likely a few of them are closet supporters ...

Most things mean more when it's 30 years between drinks ... It was always going to take something special to beat the All Blacks 24 years without a world cup ... Congrats, your home town team did it!!!

Pretty surprised at both results. Happy to be playing for some silverware this season though.
And that's our only hope for Europe.
The last week sums up Arsenal's season. Beat Liverpool and Man City in the space of 4 days and then lose to Aston Villa.
At least Man City will be happy to keep their EPL points record.
I'm looking forward to the CL games.

Loving all the salty Man U, Chelski and City fans giving it to the out of town Reds - your tears only make us stronger!!!

It's like an ever proven point of view ...

Man U and Chelski make up the top 4. Leicester completely shit the bed and drop from comfortable 3rd to 5th.
Bournemouth, Watford and Norwich go down.
Newcastle, West Ham, Villa and Palace set for another year of the 12-17th treadmill.
Liverpool end on 99 points, 18 in front of City. 33 in front of Man U and Chelski for those playing at home...
Seriously though, City's stats are outrageous. Their defense is really good, and they scored 105 goals! it won't take much for them to win the league next year.
