Today’s Football 2021/22 Season

[TheBigIguana]

You just know if James had left to Porto and we got Diaz he wouldn't be any where near this for us.

Of course he wouldn't, he's not a million miles from what Richarlison is but one looks borderline world class and the other a borderline championship player lately. Management matters.

CL is a joke these days.

Clubs like Benfica and Porto getting rinsed at home.

Club football across Europe is a joke these days,about 15 years ago there was about 8 really top sides, that's why the great Arsenal and United sides didn't steamroller anybody in it.

It is no surprise that changes in recent rules have benefited clubs who have the highest wages and salaries.

5 subs?
Covid test rest?
Winter breaks?
VAR?
Future Champion League rules chances?

It will continue especially when most of the big European clubs have been hit by Covid financial because of TV deals.

It's rubbish, so is the PL, IMO the EFL championship is the only decent competition around

The German and French leagues would be good and competitive if it weren’t for PSG and Bayern who absolutely ruin them

The PL will be a similar procession once Klopp leaves, and would've been for the past however many years as well.

Unless Newcastle eventually become good, which seems inevitable at some point.

1st place? Sure. Rest of the league is really competitive though and a great watch.

You jest mate but outside of the financial implications I would rather us play in the championship than PL

No VAR
No top 6 bent refs
Abar 10 teams capable of finishing in the top 3 spots
Cheaper tickets
Proper away days

PL is utter guff - fans worrying themselves sick over us staying in a league to make up the numbers and get screwed by corrupt officiating every week.

Be arsed me mate.

If any of the big red clubs ever got relegated, you would see how fair and balanced championship refs would be.

Oh I’m 100% with you there. If you literally just ignore Bayern and PSG they’re both really competitive, during lockdown when I had nothing to do other than watch footy I developed a massive soft spot for Montpellier in France

I've taken a likening to Rennes lately. Assembled cheaper than us lot and they are everything Everton aren't at the moment. They netted 20 times in five games across Feb/March. Was satisfying seeing them knock PSG off their perch in the cup final a few years back.

Only trouble is they wear red..... why is life like this?

Ha yeh, least there's a lot of black to balance it out? They've got a great academy.

True dat, though nobody tell Unsy. We'll end up turning the next Camavinga into the new Carlton Palmer.

Villarreal beating Bayern

 

[Parker]

I love watching this Madrid team.

Benzema and Modric are so good.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Koff Villarreal. Liverpool need to be playing Bayern in the semi final.
