Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Slotification of Liverpool is nearly complete

Villa deserved to go up. Derby didn't start playing till after the 2nd goal.

Prince William and Carew celebrating

Between that and the Tom Hanks tweet, we wanted fukkery and we got it

Anwar El Ghazi & Tammy gotta be like afterwards....they gonna stay? Cause one of the reasons Villa got bushed in 2016 was cause they failed to replace those who left..but we'll see

Any money we'll be taking L's to one of the promoted teams next season:Solskscust:

I see the Winners of the Championship Playoff, stuck to usual form.

The team who makes the late run after not being in the playoff spots for majority of the season goes up.

It’s funny, this game, which is limited to teams ranked between 3 and 6 in the second tier, has become the biggest and most meaningful “final” in English soccer. In comparison, no one cared about the league cup or FA cup finals this year. It seems like a bigger deal to win this game than to actually win the championship in a lot of ways.

That's why I love the play-offs, on the low-low..it's bullshyt for the third placed team especially imagine if they were level with the second place team and lost out on goal difference and you still have to duke it out with the teams below you and you get smacked up by them, then you have to go through another 40+ season again

Must be surreal for Dean Smith, taking his boyhood club to the big time once again

Most likely won't have to buy another drink in the city for the rest of his life.

Or until he gets the tin tack.

Now it's time for the UEFA competitions to showcase more mayhem

Spoiler

With Chelsea & Tottenham winning Actually I would be content with Chelsea winning to be honest so Arsenal can join us but with the Chelsea injuries no way they beat the gooners..all Summer getting bantered by Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham and ARSENAL fans ...hell Wolves fans might banter us at this rate

Nations League starts again a few days after the UEL & UCL finals? :perplexed:

Yeah it can harsh, but other countries have playoffs too, so it isn't that dissimilar to elsewhere. And it's far better than say the relegation playoff, that Germany have. When you have the 3rd best team in tier 2 face the 3rd worst in tier 1. Basically rewarding tier 1 shytness for the season.

Mbappe should be there for Aguero, otherwise the list is void as there is no Ligue 1 player.

Ronaldo could be replaced by any number of players (Sterling, Mane, Son, Mbappe)

Man City & PSG are playthings of a state, they're ruining everything - La Liga chief Tebas

Tebas believes that the clubs' success has come at a huge cost to the rest of Europe, with teams unable to compete against clubs funded by "petrol money."

Speaking at the Financial Times' Business of Football summit, Tebas said: "The problem with PSG and City is they’re state-run clubs: one off petrol money, one off gas.

"The damage happening on Euro football is massive because they are inflating the market so clubs have to pay ridiculous sums to keep their players.

“There are clubs who could not care less what their real incomes are when they want to sign a player because they receive incomes from a state.

"It forces other clubs into an economic situation which is really living on the edge. It skews the balance of the entire European football structure.

"This is no longer sport. This is no longer an industry. It becomes more like a toy, the plaything of a state.

"And when it’s a plaything, kids start playing with other kids. You end up ruining the entire system."
