EPL 2020-21

... and that didn't last long.

[RamjetFDO 10,554]

... and that didn't last long.

... or did the goal, apparently.

Even though it favors Villa this time, fuck VAR. That should've counted.

[Firemans4Horn 17,793]

This is an unwatchable product. I’m out. 

[mdmost 42,775]

Clear and obvious, right. The EPL has got to get VAR under control. The offside rule either has to change or VAR has to do a tie goes to the runner sort of shit because that not being a goal makes no sense. 

[RamjetFDO 10,554]

Nice buildup and follow for the deserved equalizer.

[RamjetFDO 10,554]

Can't say that wasn't deserved... well struck

[Schulz2.0 28,752]

Ross Barkley sucks.

that was pretty nice

Nice 3. VAR still sucks donkey balls and is ruining the game. 

[Bone3421 716]

Liverpool in 4th....let's go palace and leicester!!!

[Captain Ron 12,789]

holy crap Lingard’s first goal of the day was absolutely filthy.

Unless Leicester is planning on doing another fade like last season, I’m not sure why they are included in this comparison.

[MoJames 8,241]

Lol that wasn't a foul on Son.

[Captain Ron 12,789]

No, it was a goal by Son

[Captain Ron 12,789]

But foul or not. That’s a couple of stupid points of VAR:

1. That’s the perfect example of something well before a goal or another big event that flips said event. What everyone hates about VAR.

2. This “re-reffed” the event. There wasn’t a foul called the first time, check it again - oh wait, that is a foul, “tweet and let’s go back”

[Jive Turkey 12,562]

if Spurs get 3 points here, the race is on for the last 3 Champions League spots.  ManU has a tough remaining schedule.

[mdmost 42,775]

The in unison raising of the arms by the Spurs players after the United goal was amusing. Game on.

Especially since Rodon played Cavani WAY on.

[Jive Turkey 12,562]

what a goal by Cavani.  United deserve to be ahead.  entertaining game.

Yep. They dominated the second half and it’s a deserved/well earned win.

I love watching him Milly Rock all over the prem.  I'm a united fan but as long as we get a decent fee he deserves to stay at WHU if he wants to.

The Toffee defenders with a beautiful assist to Kane there. 

[Cheeseweasel 26,437]

This is the "who is going to be shittier at defending" match of the week

[Hagbard Celine 10,734]

everyone above them hoping for the draw

[Cheeseweasel 26,437]

Toffees should have scored there.

I mean, it is kind of amazing they didn’t give up the last minute goal I guess. 3 points from three draws playing shitty ass palace, bha, and spurs. If you can’t take 9 off that clown show lineup, no right to have aspirations for top 5.

Wait at what point did any Everton fan think they were finishing top 5?

[Cheeseweasel 26,437]

Didn't they win September/October?

well over a quarter of a billion dollars in transfer fees in one year and you are going to choke away 5th to liverpool.

and honestly, that will annoy me.

This Newcastle West Ham game is great. Down 2-0 and playing with 10 men, West Ham got it level. Newcastle just got a header to go up 3-2 with 8 minutes left.

I gotta admit, giving up an OG and a second yellow/red on the same play is impressive.

Third and fourth European spots are so wide open. Gonna be an awesome last month of matches. 

[ztejas 43,244]

Someone remind me, if City wins CL does the "4th" bid move down to whoever is in 5th or does it just take the top 4 incl City?

[mdmost 42,775]

I believe the only issue is if the CL or Europa winner is in 4th.

Did hear right that if

1. Chelsea wins the CL, and

2. Arsenal wins Europa, and

3. Chelsea falls out of the top 4

only the top 3 places in the PL get CL next year, (not the top 4 places).

Leagues only get the 5th spot if the UCL or Europa champion is not in their leagues top 4.

If BOTH are from the same league and not in the top 4, the league still only get me 5, but it would be the 2 champs and top 3.

If the Europa or UCL qualifying teams are already in the top 4, there is not an extra slot allotted to the league. 

@yoladu ‘s scenario is likely the only way this could happen.

Norwich City won promotion today before their game started. When Swansea (Wycombe) and Brentford (Millwall) both drew their games, that ensured that Norwich will finish at least in the top 2. With a win today, they will be 2 points from clinching the Championship title too.

The rest of the promotion/playoff slots are still up for grabs, but there appears to be a pretty good separation going for the 2 and 3-6 slots:

1. Norwich City 90 pts, 5 games left
2. Watford 82/4
3. Swansea 76/4
4. Brentford 74/5
5. Bournemouth 71/5
6. Barnsley 71/5
7. Reading 67/4

 

[mdmost 42,775]

Want some new blood in the EPL. Come on Brentford or Barnsley.  

[mdmost 42,775]

With the defeat to the Wolves, Sheffield United are officially relegated.
