I would like to retract my Daniel James praise.

I've just clocked Everton in tenth. A few mug punters fancied them at the start of the season didn't they, as if you can just stop being Everton because you sign a big name player.
Hope Hannibal gets on. Kid is absolute class.
Chelsea and Leicester competing to throw this away.
The ball hits Mings’ hand which stops the ball going in the net. How isn’t that a penalty
fouls like that winks one have to be a red IMO
Just look at that hair
Oh Brendan. Not again.
The Big Four is back and BIGGER THAN EVER.
Have Leicester really BOTTLED IT/faded? They have a thirteen man squad.
That is an all time bottle job by Leicester. Also secures Tottenham's passage into the Conference League so what's not to like.
And Sutton United going up, what a day.
Third place never in doubt.
Wanking over 'Hannibal' he's Angel Gomes with bigger hair, get back on the Pellistiri bandwagon son.
Fucking hell, Schmeichel really punched it into his own net.
4th gets knocked out.
12th is Steve Bruce's highest Premier League finish for a decade. He has only finished as high as 10th in his career.
I've heard more about Noel Gallagher and Manchester City this week than Sergio Aguero, which, once again, is every reason why they're a nothing enterprise.
Steve Bruce spends all year getting slagged off and finishes better than ‘Rafa’ ever did.
David Moyes' West 'am United only 1 point off Leicester in the end. And above the other 2 shithouse London clubs. Very underrated job.
I don't know if manager of the year has already been sorted, but Moyes should be it. Many had them to go down.
Must be their first London silver medal for years.
Absolutely pathetic league. 6 points of CL despite being absolute trash all year.
After finishing above Wolves, I'm expecting the pundits and papers to link Bruce to the Tottenham job. He could replicate Harry Redknapp's success.
Honestly, someone giving Bruce a big job would warm my heart.
Maddison is meant to be a proper twat.
He looks like he is. Stephen Ireland's regen.
Wonder if he has a big pink car
Lille 45 minutes away from a league title.
One job
Lille are champs
Klopp is manager of the year, rest assured. That achuevement is outrageous and will only be appreciated next season when we don't play with 9 every game.
Schmeichel (still can't spell that name) had a bit of a stinker.
That 3rd goal isn't handball now? He did sort of appear to control it with his hand, hardly incidental contact.
No, it's Bruce getting most of it. Fuck our fanbase.Originally Posted by bbc.co.uk
Yeah, how high could we have hit if two Covid outbreaks hadn't hit the club? One of which kept Saint Maximin out of action for 2 months? We had maybe six of our first team out at one point. We're not a big squad so that absolutely knackered us. Joyless old cunts.Originally Posted by nufc.com
That Spain squad looks average as fuck. Laporte switching from being French to Spanish the only saving grace.
There’s one Brighton player in the squad and zero Real Madrid players
Just looked at the squad and my main takeaway is that I'd have had Busquets as a good bit older than 32.
Full respect to Aymeric Laporte, he's put a lot of grind into creating the illusion that he isn't French, and now he finally has his reward.
(He's 100% French).
I can't remember a country having depth like the French do now. Recent winners of things have tended to either have ten very good players (Germany, Italy) or half a team of exceptional ones (France [1998], Brazil, Spain), but their second string could worry the semi-finals, and the bums they leave at home would still be a handy side.
Going through these old squads and 1998 looks to have been the most open tournament. Argentina, Brazil, France, Holland, and Italy all had the personnel to win it, and when they did meet they all seem to have been close games. They still had the players for 2002 as well but only Brazil managed not to be shit.
Does treating your immigrants like shit lead to excellent football talent production? I think it's certainly worth looking into.
You’re better off finishing 2nd in Scotland/England’s group. Winner faces the 2nd out of Germany, France and Portugal whereas the runner up faces the runner up from Spain, Poland, Slovakia and Sweden.
I didn’t even realise teams can qualify from 3rd place into the knockouts. What a shambles, as is Scotland having two games at their own stadium and England having all 3 at their own place
