    Look at those dates. Betting on Toon AFTER the ban hit. What a thick cunt. I'm aware he's an addict but ... c'mon.

    On that basis you’d have to be concerned about Villa getting through to the last 16 next season as well and Liverpool with the unknown as well, could fuck it for another season.

    Using the classic "No speak English" for that last paragraph too.

    Depends on how the coefficients will work with the new format. If that "bump" stays with making it out of the group stage, then they'll probably make it fairly easily.

    One big point for the new format is that there's no more dropping down into the competition below, once qualifying is done.

    Yeah but at the same time the teams that would traditionally drop down into the competition below will now make it to the next round.

    Referee was so poor in that passage, allowing Olympiakos to delay the kick as much as they pleased. Really weak game management.

    True, but the Sevilla approach to it wont be possible any more.

    I like that he's been very assertive with his calls, but yeah he's been letting players get away with stuff like that all game.

    He's good at gesticulating forcefully, I'll give him that. They love that sort of thing in the Italian system so maybe not his fault. However there are times for doing that and times to just calmly tell dickheads to get on with it.

    Olympiakos-Fiorentina final feels like it might need an alternative style of officiating...

    Good day to be an Olympiakos fan that was today. They also dropped 34 points on Barcelona in a must win basketball game earlier.

    What about if Villa win the Conference League, does that change anything?
    For future reference:

    "Under the new post-2024 club competition format, if the Europa Conference League winners qualify directly for the league phase of the UEFA Champions League or Europa League via domestic competitions, then the club with the best individual coefficient of all the teams in Europa League qualifying (champions path and main path) goes directly through to the league phase."

    Ipswich

    What an absolutely dire play-off situation that is though. Go Southampton I guess?

    The older Portsmouth fans at work hope Southampton stay down so the lol one-sided seethe derbies come back, and the younger ones hope they get promoted so they don't have to lose both of them.

    We’re definitely mostly rooting for them to fail, but also expecting that they’ll smash us next year. Hopefully nobody punches a horse next time at least.

    We’re rooting for Norwich to go up in the hope that means they let us have Abu Kamara back. Also, Conor Chaplin in the PL next year

    That’s nearly as bad as Havertz dive getting a penalty. Gvardiol is the one who kicks Ait Nouri

    I'm glad we're finally seeing Lewis Hall in the latter stages of the season. He looks pretty solid.

    I can't quite pick a winner between Spurs and Liverpool. They're both rotten at the minute but it'll probably come down to Liverpool taking more of their chances.

    This Brighton/Villa game might be the worst Premier League game I've seen this year. Villa seem completely disjointed while Brighton show a bit more of a game plan, but have no threat in attack bar maybe Adingra. Pedestrian pace, so, so many bad passes and slip-ups as well on either side.

    As I type that Brighton finally create a one-on-one chance, only took almost 49 minutes. I need Watkins goals for my fantasy football team, but I'm not sure if that's argument enough for watching the second half.

    I’m going to be sad when Chelsea sign Oshimen and Jackson is more of a bit part player. What a guy. Shite at finishing and equally bad composure but everything else is a delight

    I think he's done okay. Not exactly the greatest talent pool at Spurs and he's trying to get a tune out of it. Had you offered them 5th at the seasons start I think most Spurs fans would have been okay.

    He's got to kick it on next year and have some kind of plan B.

    Bromley beat Solihull Moors to move into the EFL. Gateshead battered Bromley 4-0 on the final day so I'm just going to correctly assume Gateshead would've definitely went up.

    Maybe he's become a genuine fan of Liverpool and doesn't want to see them suffer when he watches Match of the Day and sees their donkey striker being detrimental to their gameplay. What a selfless man. Respect.
