Football 18/19

Ended up going to MK dons vs Mansfield... Amazing atmosphere. 20,718 crowd! Nice being in a crowd which celebrates promotion as a neutrul.... Leeds and Shrewsbury are not doing it for me

So it goes down to the last game of the season. Who'd have thought that when City finished 25 points ahead last year? Amazing really, whoever* loses, to have a points tally that would have won the title something like 20 times from the last 23 seasons, it will be a sickener. 

Fantastic stuff from both teams.

Its bent as fuck isn't it? ???

[Gnomicide]

Yeah, it's bent. All the officials are in on the Agenda to make sure Liverpool finish a close 2nd to City.

Meanwhile, new changing rooms introduced at The Etihad. 

[Wooderson]

Easty we’ll just let City win the league by 25+ points every year from now?

Have it sewn up by Feb so you can focus on the CL.

Utd and sour-as-lemonjuice Everton fans be chuffed. Review in 20 years. 

Conspiracy you can get behind. Sorted.

Close call! I've been resigned to relegation since Feb but very very pleased to be proved wrong. 

Looking forward to seeing what WaG can do next season with players they'll recruit rather than who they inherited. Cull over the summer for the lazy gang I reckon, but I hope we can keep Rambo in goal, legend ?

Top 4 "race" the easiest ive ever seen it.

The general standard is poor.

Hmm.

I think there hasn’t been a huge difference between Chelsea, Spurs, Man Utd and Arsenal, all have been mediocre throughout the season. However I think Chelsea and Spurs have probably been really crap slightly less, so are deserving of the top 4. I’m glad Liverpool won as we could have been left with a very dull last game of the season.

Agreed. LFC have had one of the best seasons in recent memory. The rest of the league? Shite.

Champions League qualification is nice. Thinking about going into the comp with the transfer ban and minus Eden Hazard is not so nice.

May have to play some of those hundreds of young players you have parked on loan!

A few will be in the squad I think. Reece James and Mason Mount could be useful. Many should just be moved on though.

Some of us said at the time there was no reason to give OGS a contract mid season, he wasn't going to get a better offer!

Yup. Hardly like Madrid were going to steal him.

Utd now have to attract players with Europa league football with a manager who's managed a pub team and got relegated with Cardiff up against Zidane, Pep, Klopp et al.

On the bright side, no-ones going to Chelsea.

On the negative side, when Chelsea call all their loan signings back, all other teams will need to sign at least 10 new players.
