    @dogmeat said in EPL 2023/2024:

    Leverkusen's dream of an unbeaten season and the treble is looking dicey

    Hat-trick to Lookman and it's 3-0 - always looked a huge talent but has struggled in England to get established.

    If they come back from this to avoid defeat, it really will be a miracle.

    A massive win for Atalanta, a relatively small club who have had great success under Gasperini and this is the crowning glory

    Lookman was great for Fulham in the side (full of talent) that Parker (mis)managed in the EPL IN 20/21.

    Dogmeat , I had to look up whether it was the same player. Another cock up on Parker’s part. Geez he cost us a lot with his negative attitude and game plans.
    NB: Although if memory serves me right he tried to convert a penalty in a close game with a stupid panenka .

    Thanks for that, I’d forgotten it was covid time and so it slipped under the radar a bit.

    Bournemouth may have lost Richard Hughes to Liverpool which is a massive loss, but picking up former Roma boss as a replacement in Tiago Pinto looks like a solid gain

    Tom Ward  /  May 23, 2024

    Bournemouth appoint former Roma director as head of football recruitment

    Bournemouth appoint former Roma director as head of football recruitment

    Tiago Pinto succeeds Richard Hughes, the former Cherries midfielder, who joined Liverpool in March after a decade on the south coast

    UCL Final in a cold North London this evening. Frantic first half hour, still 0-0 between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.

    In reason #48 of "why do people care about Football at the very top" Real Madrid have just won the Champions League for about the 15th time in 18 years

    And promptly signed Kylian Mbappe

    I really don't know why everyone didn't just let these behemoth clubs (and Spurs) fuck off and play in their own sandpit.

    10 different winners in the last 24 years and 5 in the last 6 years isn't actually that bad

    I reckon if you stretched that out to semi finalists you wouldn't add many clubs.

    And considering you are talking a competition covering the whole of Europe, you've got the same 15 clubs represented at the pointy end every year. And much of that dictated by the QF and semi final draw.

    It'll get worse next year. As per usual the formal change is designed for the increased wealth and protection of the uber elite.

    Still not as bad as Super Rugby though

    In both of the last 2 seasons, the quarter-final has put the best 4 teams on the same side of the draw - meaning finals for Inter and Dortmund and Real Madrid/Man City knocking each other out. As DM says, they are changing it to make sure that the top teams get through wherever possible.

    If you finish 9th to 24th in the 36 team league(!) and make it to the final, you will have played 17 games instead of the current 13 games.

    I see a kiwi has been snapped up by Bournemouth. Fair play to the lad. I think it’s just him and Chris wood.

    Is he a Kiwi or an Aussie? Either way, unfortunate for the Phoenix because he was great this year. Nice piece of business though, and great achievement for the player

    Alex Paulsen is from Auckland.

    He also can't be loaned back to an A-League club as they changed the rules a few years ago when Melbourne City exploited that loophole.
