The mob would be locked out the stadium. The game is going to go ahead at some point and there will be protesters there again - what do we do cancel football?

You do realise between Liverpool and Manchester it's only a 20 minute drive? Shit would have happened once that game started because there's enough twats who would have seen the opportunity. That's what I suspect the police were worried about. Not to mention pissed up pricks fighting amongst themselves. I know all this can happen anyway but covid changes it quite a lot.

They are such a yoyo club, how many times have they been relegated from the Prem now?. If I was a West Brom fan I'd just be annoyed they left it so late in the season to give it a go, they've looked decent in the last month. Still they'll probably get promoted again next season.

JustinSFC Posted 3 May, 2021 Posted 3 May, 2021 As much as I hate Burnley, I'd rather they won tonight and dent those West Ham wankers champions league hopes. Hate them and their fans. They have the worst visiting fans in the league, fucking wankers the lot of them. 1

I remember a game at St. Mary's a few years ago, when the terrorism threat was high and armed police were posted around the stadium, West Ham fans were giving them (and Saints fans) grief - stupid fucking cunts. At least they lost.

Someone got glassed in the bottom end of town before, they were kicking off in the pubs, including the one I was in. They're fucking tools.
S-Clarke Posted 3 May, 2021 Posted 3 May, 2021 That was a great game to watch. Really good attacking display from West Ham, at times they were majestic playing through the lines and into the final third.

No glory hunters or hangers on. Don’t take any shit but also aren’t bully boys like some clubs. Id say along with Millwall and Leeds probably the best away support there is. 3
SaintBobby Posted 3 May, 2021 Posted 3 May, 2021 Managers of the season: 1. Moyes 2. Rogers 3. Dyche. It will go to Guardiola, of course. But I think Man City would probably have won the league if I was the bloody manager. I couldn’t have got Leicester to top 4, West Ham to top 6 or kept Burnley up though, in all modesty.
The Cat Posted 3 May, 2021 Posted 3 May, 2021 Glad that West Ham won, anything to keep Liverpool out of the Champions League and annoy the Big 6 is fine by me. 1

Dyche has had far better seasons than this one, and currently below even us in the league. Not sure how you'd rank him above, say, Potter or even Ralph. Beyond that, Dyche is also a million miles behind Dean Smith or Bielsa. And let's also respect the league winning manger Pep and even Ole has also had a good season. Basically I am not sure what Dyche has done this year to be singled out.

They were part of a useless bottom 4 early doors. He’s kept them up again. I’m not saying the Manchester managers are poor - they ain’t. But it’s not obvious over-performance.

He has done better with them in the past though, he got them into Europe with a very similar type team, same level of quality than they have atm. They've got solid/burly centre forwards who will create problems at this level for most, and they'll get wins over the line. i'd agree and say he's done well with Burnley, but overall it's a pretty standard season for them and he certainly hasn't over achieved.

Isn’t what Bielsa with a newly promoted team, and Smith with a nearly relegated team "obvious over performance"? If the criteria is "do okay by not as good as other seasons" then the Wolves manager is in with a shout. You like Dyche, fine. He's a competent manager in the Big Sam mould, fine. I like him, a bit. But this ain't a vintage season for them. They're below us FFS. 1

I'd have gone Bielsa instead of Dyche. No denying the Leeds media love in has been excessive but they've played well, battled Arsenal for a top half spot and left the other two promoted sides for dust.

Weren’t you banging on earlier how next season the bottom 3 won’t be as bad as this seasons bottom 3, apart from the fact the bottom 3 are always shit which is why they’re the bottom 3. Seems like you’ve already decided one team who is part of a bottom 3 that is so much better than this seasons bottom 3, unless the manager with one of the worst team in the league performs as part of the top 3 managers in the country once again.

Yep, I'd go with that. It's hard to separate those 3. They've all over achieved with their squads, Moyes in particular.

JustinSFC Posted 4 May, 2021 Posted 4 May, 2021 I never thought Burnley could play like that lastnight. One of the best games I've seen in a while.
Toussaint Posted 4 May, 2021 Posted 4 May, 2021 (edited) City v PSG , hope it’s as good as last week’s first leg, if the icy pitch allows The other Diallo is playing tonight to add a bit more interest Edited 4 May, 2021 by Toussaint Added a bit
igsey Posted 4 May, 2021 Posted 4 May, 2021 (edited) City score with their first attack. PSG have really stepped up the diving and playacting from last week, and the ref is giving in to it more than Felix whatsisface from last week. Already bought a penalty, though VAR rightly overturned it. Edited 4 May, 2021 by igsey

The Cat Posted 5 May, 2021 Posted 5 May, 2021 Chelsea have been defensively excellent tonight. Superbly organised and have worked so hard to deny Real Madrid space. Thoroughly deserved the win. Does the 2 English teams in the final effect the league place if they both finish top 4?
egg Posted 5 May, 2021 Posted 5 May, 2021 Fair play to Chelsea, well deserved. It'll be an interesting final. Chelsea's back 3 against no strikers. It'll be like a game of chess.
Jimmy_D Posted 5 May, 2021 Posted 5 May, 2021 Could end up that this season, we’ll have beaten the reigning Premier League champions, knocked the holders of the FA Cup out, gone unbeaten against this season’s FA Cup Winners, and gone unbeaten against this season’s Champions League winners. 1
