Premier League 2024/25

Forest fans absolutely astonished that they haven’t won the F.A cup aren’t they, can’t fathom that they actually have to beat the teams in front of them 😂

The league being won and the fa cup semi final at the same time is shit. We have games moved around for absolutely bs reasons, yet this is happening 

No idea why the semi final couldn't have been at 3pm.

Alex Ferguson spent 25 years chasing down Liverpool only for it to all unravel basically within a decade of him leaving

This is what I find the most amazing. It shows how greatly consistent Liverpool have been throughout history. Within a decade Liverpool have levelled 20 league titles, its mental.

Am I reading this wrong about consistency of Liverpool, it’s taken them 35yrs to get the 2 titles required to subsequently match Man U & those have come in the past 5/6yrs.

It's called getting over excited after 30 years in the shite. What we would give to be in their position right now.

Maybe not "right now" on the way back from North London having just experienced the shattering blow of losing a semi final !

[Md9]

I think forest beat us and that’s it for the rest of the season. Maybe draw with West Ham as well 

[Jattdogg]

Pains me to say it but congratulations to Liverpool on winning the title. They have been on form with limited serious challenge from opponents.  Good for them on seizing the opportunity, their fans deserve this one given the covid muted celebrations.

 

Off to championship we go. Sigh.

Seen a lot of videos and photos of blue flares at the Liverpool celebrations 

apparently an Evertonian bought a load of blue flares and spent some time relabelling them red

 

brilliant !

Having done some digging, the photo may have been interfered with 

 

but I like it so I’m going to leave it up 😂
 

this one is accurate though as the team bus arrives for the game

Has the fawning over these corrupt ***** stopped yet?

[SouthStandUpperTier]

All I can think about when Liverpool are playing is how shiny Arne Slot's head is. He must polish it with some Mr Sheen before every game.

[Lambert09]

No title is a bad one, but this has to be up there as one of the worst of all time? 
 

Don’t think there’s ever been a moment past the first few months where anyone genuinely thought they might not win it

Yep, same architects,  hope it happens.

Looks better than our proposed expansion 

[OntarioFox]

Looks tidy, that. And you know it'll actually happen unlike ours.

They almost all do, ours was designed to look like the King Power headquarters (shit). 

[Super_horns]

Evanilson red card rescinded. .

Another black mark against the VAR refs .

[Trav Le Bleu]

4 games left and every thing bar minor European places decided.

 

What a crap season all round.

[Staffs Fox]

Yeah to have the title and relegation sorted with a month to spare to not a good look for the PL however that shouldn’t take anything away from Liverpool’s title win. They’re on course for 90 points which is a great achievement worthy of winning any league. 
The main problem is obviously down the bottom. 
 

If a team can get established in the PL (Bournemouth, Fulham, Brentford etc) the money they get widens the gap beyond all reasonable competition and since PSR has reared its ugly head it’s just made matters 10x worse. 
Gone are the days of 6/7 sides realistically in danger of relegation. In the recent past you had sides like Burnley, Norwich, Swansea, West Brom in the Premier League who all operated on shoestring budgets but managed to stay up some seasons so the promoted had a bit of realistic competition. Now look who are 16th and 17th, West Ham and Spurs! One could argue they’re just underperforming but another way of looking at it is that just shows how strong the leagues has gotten but the quality is more spread around. West Ham have Jarrod Bowen, Kudus, Pacqueta, spent £40m+ on Kilman. Spurs spent £60m on Solanke, have a squad where practically every player cost £40m+ and this is meant to be our nearest competition?! 
Our record signing, wouldnt break the top 5 of either of those clubs and was from 6 years ago! In fact only 3 of our top 10 record signings still play for us and only one is a regular (BEK). He cost £19m! That doesn’t get you a back up goalkeeper these days and this is who the likes of us, Southampton, Sheffield United are meant to go toe to toe with. 
Don’t get me wrong it’s self sabotage to an extent because we should never have gotten relegated in 2023 with that squad but it doesn’t discount how impossible it is to be competitive in this league
