Imagine thinking Spurs would try in this game

Imagine thinking Spurs would try in this game

I didn't watch, but the stats looked to be in their favor across the board...

So maybe they tried?

Anybody watch?

I watched the first half. A pretty drab affair, and the two teams were pretty even. So happy to see Aston Villa qualify for the Champions League!

 

[B Maverick]

So much talk all week about whether Spurs would try and ultimately help Arsenal. Even Spurs coach was getting upset when asked and seemed to get into it with a fan at the game asking him "who's side are you on?".

Big day in the EPL towards deciding Europa places. Chelsea take on Brighton and ManU v. Eddie Howe's Mags. Newcastle can almost guarantee at least Conference League with one win in the last two.

Working from home today. I've got two TV's set up in my garage, a gaggle of teenage boys and a couple dads coming over. Unfortunately I have to coach my daughter's track practice a bit later so have to enjoy these games in moderation.

I haven't figured out what is best for CFC in the other game so really just hoping to give Brighton, Hove AND Albion all a good bashing today.

You want Newcastle to lose.

We all want that

United got a call!!!! VAR did not give the PK against them

 

[McBokonon]

welp

 

[B Maverick]

queue up the Red Hot Chili Peppers.....

GIVE IT AWAY, GIVE IT AWAY, GIVE IT AWAY NOW.....
GIVE IT AWAY, GIVE IT AWAY, GIVE IT AWAY NOW.....

(and someone passed to Hojlund! and he scored!!!)

If Spurs bottle this weekend, Chelsea win, and ManU wins the Cup, then Spurs would miss Europa League and move down to Conference League.

It sounds like the most Spurs thing that could happen. I might have to find a Sportsbook before Saturday.

If Spurs bottle this weekend I'll pay you out myself

United beating City seems more unlikely of the two.

 

[TennesseeJed]

Now it makes sense that Bayern signed Kane for £100M - they needed someone with experience in finishing 3rd in a 2-team race.

Mission Accomplished!

Yep. Going up 2-0 in the first few minutes looked good, and losing 4-2 was rough.
Kim, Choupo-Moting, Sane, Musiala, Gnabry, Kane, Guerreiro, Coman and Sarr out injured did not help.

 

[El Floppo]

Arse tied, MC up 2-1... Could be a wild 45 mins to wrap things up.

 

[Desert_Power]

Newcastle being +23 and sitting 7th, even on points with ManU at -1 is just an odd looking part of the table.

 

[McBokonon]

Leverkusen fall behind early to Atalanta in the Europa final as they try to close out an undefeated season (with the Pokal still to come).

Kinda BS that they have to play that on this coming Saturday and have this final today.

 

[The Gator]

Would be nuts if this is their only loss.

 

[BlackCrowes]

Hat trick! Stellar goal.

 

[bigbottom]

Hard part is done. Now this Roma fan just needs Atalanta to lose their last two Serie A matches.

 

[Major]

Lookman

 

[Desert_Power]

That last goal was beautiful

 

[B Maverick]

I was rooting for Leverkusen to get the true invincible season.

Yup, ditto. Crazy good season for them

For sure. I don't understand why the Europa Final is still midweek. They moved the CL final to a weekend, could have done the same for this. CL Sat, Europa Sunday....

Well, still rooting for them to do the unbeaten domestic double!

 

[titusbramble]

And with that, Atalanta are your NEW winner stays on club world champions

Welp, there is a good reason why they were often referred to as "Neverkusen"

 

[TennesseeJed]

I can only assume the United supporters in here decided to sleep in, rather than watch...

 

[TennesseeJed]

Lets see - if United win, ETH still gets sacked, Chelsea drop down to Conference League, Newcastle are out of Europe, and Arsenal are out of the Community Shield.

Not often that there are so few downsides to an outcome.

 

[McBokonon]

I could very well see a weekend where Newcastle finish higher than ManU in the league for the first time in the Premier League era but lose out on Europe to them anyway, and then ManU turns around and steal Ipswich’s manager.

 

[titusbramble]

So it's Arsenal that ruin a perfect season by choking the league, standard

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

It came as something of a surprise to me how happy I was to see the United over City score just now.

At least United are an honest club, singing for their supper. And it's nice to see the oil sheiks and their GOAT frontrunning manager take one in the nads.

 

[Desert_Power]

@The Kansas Comet Sevilla fans pretty upset these days. They mentioned on the broadcast that they haven't beat Barcelona in La Liga since 2015? That is crazy.

[guru_007]

Worst premier league finish in 34 years.
Still more trophies than Spurs. And Harry Kane.

 

[Mjolnirs]

Bochum up 3-0 against Düsseldorf in the relegation battle. The tie is now 3-3 with 20 minutes to go.

 

[Mjolnirs]

Bochum stays up after 6-5 on penalties.

Nah, just didn't log in from home. Enjoyed the outcome, then the weekend.

Good lord. Dortmund should be up 2 already. They're passing the ball beautifully.

You can feel the RM counter attack goal loading.

 

[Major]

Good lord. Dortmund should be up 2 already. They're passing the ball beautifully.

They are impressive thus far. Just hope they can capitalize.

1.51 xG in the first 30 minutes. They're buzzing. Gotta be more clinical against a team like RM though.

 

[CGRdrJoe]

kobel looking like lebron

 

[Desert_Power]

What a dive

 

[AAABatteries]

This ****ing ref and the dissent yellows - he better hope that doesn’t ruin the game with another yellow. Both times Madrid dove and he gives a yellow when Dortmund complains.
