You make it to Europe and revert to a minnow fighting to survive the season you will play in Europe?

They'll end up qualifying to ECL GS, you see, only for it to complicate their domestic season even more and get them relegated.

Matt Le Tissier - Footballing Genius One of my all time favourite footballer in England. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/soccer/matt-le-tissier-footballing-genius/ss-AA1nhYqK?ocid=msedgntp&pc=HCTS&cvid=e67983d2195a4a11a06cc3220cf27638&ei=25 He was a talent and one of the last one club ...

Cue the @Firnen comment about Qatar at least not tainting the Olympic flag, or something.

Some forget that Xavi has the same amounts of Liga titles as Ancelotti currently, with considerably fewer seasons as coach in Spain (he's just going to get his 2nd now).

It used to be a "Big 2" back in the first decade of the Premier League, with Ferguson and Wenger dominating, then it became "Big 4" in the mid 2000's, and finally City and Spurs joined up in the 2010's. The club only kept getting larger, not shrinking, so Chelsea's case would be ...

Fluke European qualifications and runs from small teams happen all the time in the top leagues, but Atalanta's consistency for several years deserves to be rewarded with a trophy. Either Coppa Italia or Europa League, bring it on!

Damn. From European champions to the 2nd tier in 3 years? Can you imagine that? Even the most brainwashed Ukrainian flag bearer among Chelsea fans must be missing Abramovich dearly. Nobody could, but I don't think Chelsea are in serious danger even if 15 points deducted. They'll have 32 points, 7 p...

Too bad about Vitesse. Hopefully, the financial penalties won't prevent them from bouncing back soon in favor of the usual yoyo clubs like Volendam.

Why do some Cheaters fans feel the need to engage in obvious sophistry to defend glaring errors by referees? One of two things they can't seem to comprehend: that they cheat, and how they win against better rivals sometimes even without cheating, as in the City tie.

No further comment.

I don't know which one is the story of the day: Manchester United sinking to yet another new low or Nottingham's leadership embracing the Mediterranean/Latin attitude.

Never called Van Gaal a hack (don't even know the real meaning in this context), wacko yes. Bellingham, Sancho, Saka, Grealish etc. It wasn't a literal quote. Rather, he's a considerably prestigious manager that you've implied is incompetent and not worthy of the Manchester United job, therefore he...

And it could get even worse before getting better - if ever. They want to appoint Southgate? No other country has a bigger talent pool than England and he won nothing.(They've called the Lampards, Gerrards, Rooneys, Terrys as the golden generation, none of them comes even close to this generation.)...

And "billion-pound bottle-job" Chelsea at least had a CL title to show for it. BTW, it's getting increasingly clear, in case it wasn't before, that if Luton or Burnley (Sheffield are dead men walking whatever the case) are to be saved, it can't be on merit, but by the league relegating Not...

Olympiacos takes a 3rd scalp in penalties after the ones of Inter and Lens and reaches the final in an insane season for the U19 team! Insane season in general! Youth League finalist, Conference League semifinalist and still in the league title race and all of that despite the several managerial ch...
