EPL 2021 / 2022

Awful game of football for the most part in Madrid today but somehow City sneak through. They looked out on their feet at the end and Athleti had a couple of good chances but probably too little too late from them. Game finished with handbags on the field and in the tunnel. Savic managed to only get a yellow for picking Foden up and dumping him over the touchline, headbutting Sterling and pulling Grealish's hair and apparently it all kicked off again in the tunnel.

Liverpool fairly comfortable with a 6-4 aggregate over Benfica although Benfica pulled back from 3-1 to 3-3 on the night. All set for them to reach the final having beaten Inter, Benfica and Villareal in the knock-outs, that's a dream run for any team given Real will have to beat PSG, Chelsea and City to make it.

remarkable season by Liverpool really

on target for 90 points in the league
League cup won
Semis of the FA Cup
Semis of the Camps league

City in the way of absolutely everything.

Yes quadruple still on. Have to fancy Chelsea for FA Cup given that is all they have left to play for. Both Liverpool and City will rotate a little this weekend for the FA Cup game, although with Diaz arriving and Torres leaving, Liverpool actually have superior depth to City now. 5 top line forwards plus Origi, Minamino while City's backups are mainly kids (very talented kids of course).

Sean Dyche has been sacked by Burnley. He did have the longest current tenure with a club.

Liverpool beat Man City 3-2 at Wembley in yesterday's FA Cup Semi Final. But that doesn't tell the whole story.

Before the game a group of Man City fans brought total shame on their club by booing during the minute's silence for the 97 people killed in the Hilsborough disaster. First time in 33 years that anyone can remember that happening.

The First half was one way traffic. Liverpool 3-0 up at break. The first goal was soft. City let Liverpool's big French cente back have a free header off a corner. The second was one of the softest I've even seen. The goalkeeper had a dreadful First touch after a Stones pass back and couldn't clear it before Mane slid in and put the ball in the net. The Liverpool third was a thing of beauty. A dominant First half.

City got two goals back one just after the break and another at the start of stopage time, but Liverpool remained in control.

A huge psychological advantage to Liverpool for the PL and CL.

Chelsea v Liverpool FA Cup final. Tasty.

Geez, does anyone want to come 4th? Clubs are falling over themselves to fuck it up. Tottenham were flying and then stumbled. Arsenal had it sorted and then promptly fell in a heap. Man U are just not very good (watch them trip Liverpool up midweek).

Also, surprised more isn't being made of the shit job Stevie G appears to be doing at Villa. They are now below Newcastle on the table, still haven't hit 40 points, and can only match last seasons points total if they win every game they have left (having just lost 4 on the bounce, currently the worst streak in the league)

@mariner4life Gerrard deserves a chance. Hes got too many players that don't suit his style of play, and once he clears them out and he brings in players he wants, he'll do better.

Hes also managed to attract Coutinho for us which is huge, along with Digne so it shows that he can attract players of quality.

Liverpool leading Man Utd at Anfield 2-0 after 25 minutes. One way traffic. How did Manure become this awful?

Fulham leading and could be heading to the EPL by the end of the evening.

@sparky 3-0 at half time.

Surely even we aren't Fulhamish enough to fuck this up.

Rangnick has made Man Yoo worse

YAY!!!

Comgratations to Fulham. They won 3-0 and are heading back to the EPL for 2022-23.

Liverpool leading 4-0 with 5 minutes to go.

Great win for Liverpool …. But Keane is overshadowing the game. Scathing and completely on point

@MajorRage Manure awful without Shaw and Ronaldo. Absolutely dreadful.

Liverpool World class.

he's been at them for a fair while now

he's not wrong with most if it either.

Great to have Fulham back, real soft spot for that club

For me the 40 goals from Mitrovic have been just as astonishing, well done Fulham but Mitrovic has been a class above the Championship this season, a pleasure to watch.

I have a few more nervous weeks before any such hopeful confirmation happens for my cherries.

@bayimports Mitro is a Championship cheat code but it's not just him Harry Wilson and Carvalho have both scored over 10 and Neeskens Kabano is on 9. Wilson has 15 assists. even if Mitrovic hadn't scored we'd still have the fourth highest goal tally in the Championship. With the second tightest defence.

All of which means jack next season.

I am (ever) hopeful. This time round we will have far longer to prepare and have a much better Manager (as you are finding out).

The losses against Coventry and Derby have spoiled things a bit. We definitely need to improve in 4-5 areas and losing Fabio is a bloody shame. Dirty poaching 'pool.

But for today at Least AWAY YO WHITES!!!

The season end could get ugly if the squad relax - we play the teams in 2nd, 4th 5th and 6th!

It could get squeaky bum time for Bournemouth yet if we beat them and they then lose the six pointer against Forest....
