Premier League 2020-21

I don’t mind if one of them does it, as that wouldn’t affect us. I just don’t want both of them doing it.

Many stranger things have happened than Chelsea winning the CL and Arsenal winning the EL.

The existence of Junior Lewis’ entire professional career, for example

Or us losing 3 in a row under BR.

Winning the EL should be a piece of piss.

The fact we got knocked out by that opposition and then shit our pants in the league is our own problem.

We knew the qualifying opportunity from the EL and so did Arsenal.

It's about positions and priorities though.

If Arsenal had been where we are/were when we were knocked out of the EL, and we'd been where they are/were, it could well have been us in the semi final instead of them.

 

[mabrah]

Yes, the EL is arguably looking now like it was an 'as likely' route. Hindsight and all that. FA Cup it is then...

Hopefully we aren't going to drop so far that we need the FA cup to get into any form of european competition. Now that you mention it, I'd rather they have the FA cup be a qualifier for the champions league than 4th place.

 

[mabrah]

Oh, sorry, I wasn't meaning the FA Cup as a route into Europe but as a target in itself.

I’ve always said this. Makes much more sense, which is why it would never happen.

That's how they do it in at least a handful of south american countries - the national cup tournament gets you into the Libertadores instead of their version of the EL. Meanwhile our "magic" fa cup gets you into a tournament not many people give a monkeys about and the league cup now gets you into a tournament which even FC Cattle Grid will end up fielding their youth team in.

Like Leicester finishing 4th

 

[Lako42]

Like Leicester finishing 4th

No, that would be ****ing absurd

 

[mabrah]

What chance Newcastle doing us a favour today? I mean, they've had decent runs in past years at the end of the season. I'm not holding my breath but... "stranger things have happened"

Their better players are all coming back from injury. I reckon they could win today.

I defo reckon they're in with a shout. They're the kind of team that could shit-house a win against WH.

 

[Brown Nose]

Fantasic feck up from West Ham. Own goal and a red card in 30 seconds.

Hehe.

 

[Brown Nose]

Hahahaha

Implosion underway.

2-0.

 

[homer]

The second is even funnier

Love it

 

[fitz]

If Joelinton somehow gets a second then today's betting returns prove I'm psychic and you'll be glad to hear I've got a fiver on us winning 9-0 tomorrow.

 

[M17TT C]

You bet on Joelinton to score twice?

In one match??
