The Fun Factory Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 This will be forgotten in a few weeks unless you are a liverpool fan. Other than last year and Wigan in 2013 I couldn't tell you which scum 6 club won the cup in which year. Now that they will all have to play 25 games or something from 2024 in the CL I am vaguely hopefully that this will make them too knackered to bother competing for the domestic cups. However the last 20 years wouldn't suggest that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted May 14, 2022 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2022 Yep, it's been a complete failure of a season, the Superleague six have finished in the top six places and won both the domestic cups. Roll on next season when hopefully football can win something instead. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this happens every season, like Man City winning the league, it's when the Prem Should be looking at changing things, like they do in F1, when the best cars keep winning. It can't keep being the teams with the most money, in reality it's bloody ridiculous. If Haaland comes in firing, it'll be all over by January 2023. At best we will be watching Liverpool challenge man City, sounds great? Only Sky will be creaming over it, trying to keep the entertainment and the viewing figures up.

Django_Zooms Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 The list at the top of this thread somehow missed the League 2 play-off semi-final. Jordan Bowery has scored for Mansfield vs Northampton, which serves as a reminder that Randy Lerner is a total 'mericanburger' who sought to destroy our club with div 4 signings from across Europe.

PaulC Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I didnt get the hype about the final. I thought it was tedious and there was better finishing in the mansfield northampton game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Kylian Mbappé with another goal and 2 assist for PSG. Quietly having quite the year with 25 goals and 19 assists so far in the league to go with his 6+6 in 8 CL games and 5+1 in the domestic cup. Weak league and yada yada but he's miles ahead of the likes of Messi and Neymar. Nice to see he's over the injuries that never had him 100% last season.

I dont think Randy Lerner personally signed Bowery. Apparently was a favour from Lambert to somebody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be as surprised as I was then to discover that this is only the fifth time it's happened since 2000 and more importantly that it didn't happen at all until 2014-15. City were only bought by the Abu Dhabi group in 2008. It's amazing how quickly we get used to thinking something is just how things are - the six teams that wanted to destroy the league have finished in the top six spots and won both of the domestic cup competitions for five of the last eight years - it's killing football. Next year, it falls on us, on Newcastle, on West Ham and maybe Leicester to try to do something about it before the b****rds change the rules and the chance is gone forever. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuh dont be silly; They’ll just need bigger squads and to poach the better players from those irrelevant sides in the Prem that wont need them, what with just playing 38 games a season and going out in the early rounds in cups. The media will tell us these players need to move on to further their careers and be seen on the biggest stage. They have to prove themselves in the CL, they wont get that at Villa or Palace. Rumours printed every day during the summer. Cant wait. Thank God we have owners and CEO with something about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kicking European teams out of the league Cup is the answer for me, both in terms of the future of that cup and then providing a sniff at something for everyone else Unfortunately I think they're more likely to bin that cup off due to pep and klopp moaning it's too much for them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet commentators think he is the messiah. He is just an arrogrant spunk trumpet. I don't like Liverpool either. It's seems to me there trophy cabinet is highly stacked by winning penalty shoot out. (A further two this season). In addition they seem to get a massive amount of decisions in there favour - I think we seen against ourselves and against Chelsea yesterday - they aren't actually all that.
