Still haven't gotten used to brolic Torres

Cursed

If B04 can keep their squad they’ll have a CL team next year but I expect someone to drop some good money on either Wirtz, Adli or both. Xabi turned that team around.

 

[Bantz Lord T]

Because they secured that Liga prize money bag

Sheesh. That’s not a good look to say this right now

This was pretty clear to see when we went up 2 at west ham. And when he was so nonchalant and gifted a goal 10 seconds into the Southampton game

 

[rolaholic]

Kinda blew my mind to read that the Gunners have conceded more than United, shellackings and all

Wouldn't want to mess with swole Torres.

Jae Min Kim official for United?

After the World Cup idk what happened but we cant keep a clean sheet for ****

Some of these kids aren't used to the lights. Ramsdale being main culprit with some of his DDG inspired mistakes. Losing Saliba hurt but Holding, Rammers, Zinchenko, and too often White, all looked like they couldn't deal with the heightened pressure.

If the defense can stay healthy next year and we find a striker that can either challenge Pouty Gabi or straight up replace him, we'll be back in the title race.

 

[Belgium]

Season done. All by our own hand.

As much as I hate to say it, I think you guys did very very well either way. At the end of the day, you're up against a literal country with a godlike squad, unlimited funds and overinflated 'sponsorships' from companies that coincidentally happen to be linked to Sheikh Mansour.

That or +3.5 total goals. Might be a goalfest. Either way

I don’t agree with this.

But your clubs could have used all that pressure of the Super League to force UEFA to change it back.

Would have been a perfect opportunity.

 

[Armada]

So new format is basically a mini league top 8 in last 8 determined by a play-in? Simple to understand but a goofy unnecessary change. I can also see the drama that could come from a format like this that people could get excited about so once those moments happen in a few years I doubt most will make a fuss.

Regardless any changes being made to the UCL format were made in response to appease the clubs that wanted the super league. People will get made at UEFA (rightfully so don’t give a damn about them) but this doesn’t happen if the big clubs didn’t want what they wanted either which they do get wit this. More guaranteed matches played between the bigger clubs = more revenue which is all they ever wanted.

Exactly.

Let’s not act like your clubs aren’t happy this. This is sort of what they wanted.

They could’ve stopped this. But they didn’t.

 

[jape]

i’m not super in to the details but i’m pretty sure no one asked for this

 

[Armada]

No fans did yea we never do when it comes to big format changes . But the people who run the big/power clubs and feds have always wanted more games between those clubs to increase revenue
