GWT: PL Matchweek 38 FINALE

[Live in the Now]

Where’s the third Europa spot go?

It's gone. They condensed it.

 

[Chimaera]

Side note, that Alisson header was worth 80-90+ million pending on where they finish in the CL

 

[bluesfan94]

Sheffield didn't even score 40 goals though.

Okay? Points are points.

 

[Live in the Now]

Okay? Points are points.

Yeah, but I mean. It's hard to say a team's style worked when they scored 39 goals and gave up 39 goals. GD of 0. They got results but a team can't play winning football like that.

 

[Savant]

How the hell did we get 3rd? And no qualifier for CL. What a weird season

Yep. Now comes the silly season. Should be a lot of movement for a number of clubs.

He seems to often know exactly the right thing to say. The performance against Barcelona where Gini came in and played like a tank destroying everything in his path is something I will never forget. Best half I've ever seen any of our players play.

 

[Chimaera]

Still don’t see why he wants to go, but I guess he wants a new challenge and a hefty paycheck.

Obviously it remains a great moment, but Liverpool would have finished 3rd even without the Alisson header.

It's like the Chlsea fans that get excited about the only goal Torres scored lol ...( I know)

Couldn’t have known that then, and I think it’s likely other clubs aren’t pressing on the final day if Liverpool are basically done:

 

[Evilo]

Leeds proved their style works this year. They finished 30 points ahead of the other two teams that came up.

I think Leeds are more likely to go down than challenge anywhere near the top half

 

[The Abusement Park]

People slobber all over Leicester all year and then when they bottle it at the only time of year that matters, it's "Well, they're just happy to be here!".

I mean the expectations are different for them. They’re the team that can best compete for top 4 outside of the biggest name clubs.

I honestly think winning the FA Cup was the worst thing for them. That’s why it’s a tin pot. I’d rather have 3rd or 4th than 5th and FA Cup. Took their eyes off the prize, celebrated too hard and couldn’t get back in gear.

 

[Savant]

Now that it officially sent us to the CL, have another look.

The Undisputed (Best) Moment of the Season

 

[IceColdOx]

Happy Elanga scored and Mata likely ends his United career with a goal. Wish we could have played better at home and turned some of those draws to wins. However, happy with 2nd. Congrats to City, who were class this year.

 

[Jussi]

Well this explains Mata's goal celebration and absences during the season: Man Utd star Juan Mata's mum dies after long-term battle with illness

Most teams don’t play winning football shopping 54 goals either. Obviously Leeds did and obviously Sheffield did. But it’s not normal.

Chelsea did last year too. It's actually a lot more common than the reverse (not scoring enough). These days usually at least one team who makes Europe gives up 50+ goals.

Idk. Willing to bet a lot of Leicester fans would rather win a trophy than qualify for the CL to get tonked.

Exciting finale day. Man united invincible away from home.

I don’t know who uses dazn here, prolly everyone?

but they created a red zone equivalent for the match day today. Was amazing. Great way to watch the day

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Missed until the 75th minute of the Chelsea game because I got a flat on my morning bike ride. Glad it didn't end up mattering. Next week!

 

[Venkman]

Decent performance by United considering the amount of changes. Amad with some nice touches, van de Beek played well. Great to see Elanga and Mata score and Mejbri make his debut.
