Pete Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Five years ago, both Luton and Coventry were just getting promoted out of League Two. Ten days from now, one of them will be Premier League-bound. The most batshit league in the world sends two of the most batshit club stories to the playoff final. I love this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 It's cool, but I still wanted Millwall in the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubbymark Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 I don’t think the world is quite ready for Millwall in the PL. I wasn’t prepared for the curb stomping Manchester City gave Real Madrid, but I’m here for it. Julian Alvarez is a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After last year's debacle at the Bernabeu I was optimistic we might get a BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD result but I wasn't seriously expecting them to go out there taking souls like that. Egad.

The Natural Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 On 5/13/2023 at 4:57 AM, The Natural said: Spare a thought for Sheffield Wednesday. 96 points total is the highest ever in the EFL without automatic promotion. Sheffield Wednesday get twatted 4-0 at Peterborough United in the League One first leg of their semi-final last night. Peterborough were 19 points behind the Owls. This will really sting along with Sheffield United getting back into the Premier League finishing 2nd in the Championship. It takes a lot for a team to finish third to win the play-offs as it's a downer missing out on automatic promotion. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65553765 Football.

It's funny because the U's literally needed a win and two other results to bounce their way just to stay in League 1 on the last day.

SirFozzie Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Oh, I know, Pete. That's what makes it extra schadenreudy. Posh were laughing that they were going to be in the Championship and Cambridge in League Two next year.

ReiseReise Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Bayern lost to Red Bull yesterday, which means that for the first time in ages there is an actual real decision on the final matchday. There was a theoretical decision on the final day in 2019 I believe, but then a draw would have been sufficient for then league leaders Bayern. Dortmund are now only one point behind and have a chance to take the top spot, should they win in Augsburg. The goal differential however tips the scale in Bayern's favour. On the other end of the spectrum, Hertha drew 1-1 at home, relegating the big Club from the Bundesliga. Depending on what Stuttgart can do in Mainz and how the afromentioned Augsburg v Dortmund play out, there will be between four and six teams who can take either the remaining relegation or the playoff spot.

Pete Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 If I'm Pep there isn't a big enough gift basket in the UNIVERSE to send Steve Cooper. He helped save the City legs for a third match... who knows how valuable that could be for the club in the long run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubbymark Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Russell Martin has verbally agreed to become Southampton's new boss. Mixed feelings on this as he was the former Swansea boss. Possession style football and got the double double vs Cardiff. However the club was very inconsistent under his reign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubbymark Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I’m curious if Southampton is going to be as patient as Swansea were with Martin if they get a string of bad results, especially if they plan on immediate promotion. Liga MX playoff finals will be Tigers UANL vs Chivas Guadalajara. Both teams defeated derby rivals in the semifinals, Monterrey and America respectively.
