Dislike both clubs but would rather see Chelsea win it.

Liverpool hold have the distinction of being the only Club in England to win the League, European Cup and League Cup in a season. So for that reason alone I want Chelsea to win.

But not THE treble.  Only Celtic and United from these shores have managed the holy grail
Who says "THE" treble is the treble? United fans?  ;D
Liverpool have won "THE" quintuple in 2001. You don't get to decide what is "THE" treble and what isn't.

Intermediate championship
You'd know all about the intermediate championship.

The league cup is the Junior championship

It's simple. Those trophies are a direct result of the preceding trophies won.
The following years super cup and World Cup is dependent on the next CL. It's not hard to understand. I'd need to draw a picture for you boys.

I think you'd need to draw yourself a picture  ;D

You've nothing to back up that statement. But still. You'd know more about a junior championship

Aguero has his new team

They got rid of a 33 year old Luis Suárez because they thought he was too old and past his best. Now basically replace him with Aguero who is 33 in a few days.

Aguero is still an excellent player. Though it doesn't make sense when they let Suarez go.

They loaned Coutinho to Bayern and he was eligible to play against them in Cl ,scoring twice. Now looking to sell him on for 40m. Transfer strategy all over the place.

Brought in Braithwaite last year who was really poor at Middlesbrough

They let Suarez go, correctly, because he was incredibly expensive and they realised the team couldn't afford to have another aging, slowing striker alongside Messi.

Aguero is coming in on probably something less than half of Suarez's wage as, primarily, a backup.

His 24 goals involvements in 32 games proved key in Atlético Madrid title success and Luis remarks afterwards let Barcelona know they let him go too soon.   Aguero left Manchester City because he wanted more starts and be less of a backup, if used correctly his goals can go a long way towards Barcelona regaining the La Liga title.

CL final, a big up to the referee who didn't blow for all and sundry. Did miss Rutiger taking out KDB but apart from that he let the tackles go and played on if someone was on the deck only for them to miraculously get up once they realised the game was going on anyway.


Chelsea clinical and I think we found out why TAA isn't first choice RB for England. Reece James is the real deal.

Wonder would Southgate push TAA into a more attacking role instead.

Lampard must have been gutted to see the club he left in January win the holiest of holies.
He should have stayed with Derby a bit longer.

I'd say the management at PSG are kicking themselves also.

Ancelotti to take over at Real Madrid
Not based on what he done at Everton, as 10th place finish was poor with the money spent.

A rebuilding Job to do at real,lot of ageing players

Atleti are a completely different team to Barca playing a completely different style of football. Everyone else in the team can do all the hard work and running. At Barca, they already  "have" to pander to Messi and work hard to allow him to be the player he is. You can't do that twice over which they'd have had to do with Suarez.

Barca scored 18 goals more than anyone else in the league this year. Scoring goals wasn't their problem. The fact that Suarez was a significant part of Atleti's win has no relevance to the decision of whether they were right to let him go or not. Nobody was under the impression that he wasn't/isn't still a top level footballer, capable of scoring.

Also, in case you haven't noticed, Barca are absolutely f**king skint and needed to get wages off their books. Suarez was one of the highest paid players in the world and they could survive without him. Anyone going "Suarez won the league with atleti, Barca should never have let him go" is, at best a bit simple, at worst a complete f**king idiot.

Because he'll keep his mouth shut and not complain openly when Florentino doesn't open the chequebook and bring in 5 150m euro footballers in the next 18 months.
