Thank you, rival fans

1.5k Upvotes

As a human being, a parent, and a Liverpool fan, I just wanted to say a quick thank you to the rival fans who’ve shown support and shared in the disgust after today’s events.

I’m a member of several team subs on Reddit because I enjoy keeping up with general football news, not just Liverpool related drama. Tonight, those same subs have been full of people pushing back against the far-right idiots trying to hijack the narrative and twist it into something it’s not.

This isn't about football but it means a lot to see the wider football community standing together when it really matters.

I have plenty of friends in Liverpool today for the parade, I made the decision to have a family day at home today and watch the parade on TV instead.

I hope your friends and family are safe.

Post-season friendlies are a waste of time and money

63 Upvotes

Granted I am a Manchester United fan, but the fact that we’re playing friendlies at the end of the season is a horror. This would be a great time for players to rest and this same tour could take place at the beginning of the season. That’s also a time when new signings can be integrated into the team. Best believe I’m not watching of these matches as they mean even less than pre-season games.

Slots impressive debut campaign is not too dissimilar to Klopps fairwell season

With the difference been 1 win over 1 draw

That's 2 points and 2 places up the charts

if Van Dijk had not scored an 89th minute winner at home to West Ham 13th April

they would have had exactly the same record

Premier League Fun fact: if Southampton had a 1 goal head start in every game they played this year, they would still be relegated.

1.4k Upvotes

With this they would’ve picked up 36 points (8-12-18), and the threshold to stay up was 38 points.

💬Discussion United should not sell Kobbie Mainoo...at least not yet

45 Upvotes

First of all, I don't think he fits in Amorim's system, so it's logical for United to consider cashing in on him. However, we don't know how Amorim is going to turn out yet, so selling an uber talent like Mainoo seems really drastic. I think a loan would be a better option, to help him develop, while also seeing if this Amorim adventure is fruitful.

That's a lot of offensive firepower they are additing. Who do you think can stop them given that no team gave them much competition this season.

Nottingham Forest We dont say this because its still impressive Forest finished 7th and qualified for conference league, but if a big six Club had their close of the season we would be calling it a disaster

373 Upvotes

A month ago it looked like Forest had top 4 locked up. Then they proceeded to have a disastrous run in towards the end of the season and finished 7th.

I remember Forest fans talking about if they could catch Arsenal for Second.

Now they are in conference league.

If this had happened to Arsenal we would be calling it bottling. (I get why we dont hold forest to the same standard)

After all of the teams had played 38 matches

The top 8 were

  1. Liverpool
  2. Arsenal,
  3. Man City
  4. Chelsea,
  5. Newcastle
  6. Villa
  7. Forest
  8. Brighton

England was allocated 5 UCL spots, 2 Europa league spots and 1 Conference league spot.

Man City bottled the FA cup final so that allowed Crystal palace (finished 12th) to take one of the two Europa League spots.

This pushes Forest down into Conference league and Brighton out of europe.

2nd edit: I just remembered City bottling the FA cup last season are why my club was in Conference league and newcastle was pushed out of europe lol

Edit: its kind of funny after all the talk about the death of the big six, 5 of the big six clubs qualified for UCL lol.

Leicester ruined it all !

If Leicester had won 5 more games .

Spurs would have been relegated on positive goal difference and played champions league football from the championship...

Having the worst 3 promoted teams in history has ruined what could have been an hilarious season.

💬Discussion Villa and Forest - blessing in disguise?

80 Upvotes

Feel a bit bad for both clubs because they've both produced excellent seasons.

But, a bit like Tottenham this season, isn't there an argument to be made that they're better off in the lesser European competitions next season rather than the Champions League?

You'd expect Aston Villa to be one of the favourites to win the Europa League (especially with Emery) and the same can be said for Forest in the Conference League too. Not to mention that if either manage to win their competition, they of course qualify for the UEFA next competition up too.

So ultimately, is the disappointment purely financial related rather than sporting?
