The europa league is visibly weaker this year. Hence Spurs have been favourites throughout, despite their players clearly hating their manager.

Quote from: shark on April 22, 2025, 08:13:12 AMThe 8 teams not dropping down is the big difference. The best 8 that failed to make the last 16. So this year would include Man City, Juve, Atalanta, Milan.

That was daft format, getting knocked out of one competition and dropping into another, imagine if we had the same with the Tailteann Cup?

I for one Liked the Cup winners Cup more than what is in place now with the Europa and conference leagues. No real need of having 8 group matches before the knock out stages but money counts for Uefa.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Agree, it was ridiculous really. It does lower the standard of Europa (and also the Conference too) , but so what.

Peter Schmeichel documentary out, caught it on the shtick, excellent footage of Denmark and Utd years and some good quips from Fergie

Man City turning things around and look like they will take a Champions League spot.
Would expect them to be a force again next season, depending on the outcome of the charges though!
SHOCKING REVELATIONS!!!

If Man United and Spurs get to the final I wonder will there ever have been a European Final when both teams are so low down in their domestic league?
If played today it would be 14th v 16th.
SHOCKING REVELATIONS!!!

You'd imagine that doesn't happen too often. United could be even lower by then if they get there.

How long have we all been waiting on the outcome of those charges at this point?!

But yeah, I expect City will be the team to beat again next year.

Decision is already made but won't be announced until after the season is over. Was mentioned on that Overlap podcast Carragher does with Scholes.

Force in league 1

A good result for Liverpool. It allows them to win the league on the field at Anfield with just a draw.

Mourne Red

Haven't been good enough this season (injuries a factor but we've never been top of the table this season), fair play to Liverpool.. I dare say even the spurs supporters will be celebrating at Anfield on Sunday 😅.

And to think some Liverpool supporters on here got triggered when I said months ago that Liverpool had the title won already and the only question left was how many matches to spare the title will be won by? the answer is now known with four games to spare.
