Question 236

Do you think the 2018–19 title race between Manchester City and Liverpool was arguably the best in history, as it went down to the final day and Liverpool missed out on the league by just one point despite accumulating 97 points?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[astral kettle]

Yes

[atomic kite]

No has to be 11/12

That aguero goal still haunts me til this day

[simple lark]

Nah 11/12 as we witnessed the biggest bottlejob of man utd

[surreal epoch]

Yes, but 22-23 and 11-12 have shouts.

[trail narwhal]

2011-12 ☠️

[plucky bobcat]

And 11/12 as well.

[charred mulch]

Don't care next question

[frosty coral]

Most competitive? Undoubtedly

But City-United in 2012 was the most dramatic

[hollow remnant]

ligue 1 01/02 >>>

we had a final in the last matchday between lyon and lens and whoever won was crowned champion

this can't be beaten honestly

[daring snow]

yes

idk how people are saying 11/12 when it was a bottlejob by yanited

[dry plinth]

It does, but the one between Inter Milan and Napoli last season was also good

[pliant trench]

no 11-12 is much better

[merry dew]

11/12 ig

[thick sparrow]

BVB Bayern 2022?

[ocean fog]

11/12 is clear

[grand flower]

11-12 was better

[peak beacon]

11-12 was better

Literally last second goal to win the league

[slim fern]

No. 2011/12 season was even better

[near cosmos]

11-12 Ligue 1 clear

[raw nimbus]

Comfortably the most competitive & highest quality one, both teams were absurdly good & best in the world level

11-12 was a bottlejob by united lol & just had a more dramatic ending

[shadow oxide]

11/12

but this one is also great

[young yarrow]

That does not beat Galatasaray winning the league over Fenerbahçe who had 99 points

[rapid laurel]

yes it was

[alpine ginkgo]

Liverpool and Arsenal 1989 was special.

[lofty zealot]

Yh

Sad to see city win though

[sinful temple]

11-12 was better

[covert reef]

if stones never made that goal line clearance liverpool would have gone invincible

so yeah

but having 97 points and not winning the league is mad though

[quasi flare]

Question 237

Tottenham were a consistent side who regularly finished in European qualification spots in England for many years, but last season their league form was catastrophic, and they look set to finish in the lower part of the table again this season. What do you think is the reason for this decline, and what actions should Spurs take to fix it?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[dapper zenith]

idk cuz for some reason their champions league campaign looks fine

[brittle pewter]

Red Devils

[patent moon]

New board.

[covert reef]

yh

they need a new board with better management

[karmic kernel]

Poor ownership and board backing

[sinful temple]

Skill issue

[alpine ginkgo]

All starts with the ownership.

[dusty eagle]

Wrong managerial appointments, injuries and poor transfers which bar the injury part stems from the board

[naive ledge]

Injuries & ownership

[daring snow]

fuck knows tbh
maybe the gaffer

and injuries

[dry plinth]

they are too bad in PL but good in ucl, they have way too many missing titulars and they don't show good tactics

so they need a whole reconfiguration

[grand sentinel]

Liquidate the whole club

[charred mulch]

Couldn't give a crap about those pretenders next question

[harsh cobalt]

Their time at the top has come to an end

[young yarrow]

Too much focus on the business side of things

[ocean fog]

The medical team?

[tiny mirage]

get better defence

and

midfielders

they need to develop youngsters like Archie Gray

[frosty coral]

bring back Big Ange

[drowsy schooner]

Ohh so that's why they were top 8 in the ucl

[drowsy schooner]

Objectively yes. Just right above 2022 Bundesliga

[shadow oxide]

the chicken should balance better on the ball

[grand flower]

Mainly ownership

[heady ermine]

Still better than arsenal imo. they won a major league before them.

[merry dew]

[heady bear]

yes but it would have been much more satisfying if liverpool had won the league instead of that satanic institution

[heady bear]

yeah i was shocked it took someone that long as well

[quasi flare]

Question 238

Has Manchester City’s win at Anfield put them back in the title race, or will they stumble again?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[odd mirage]

yes

[charred walrus]

yes

[trail narwhal]

Yes.

[frosty coral]

Given the history of the Arsenal, I'm gonna say yes. Title race is back on.

[dry plinth]

They are back

[odd mirage]

Arsenal still have to play us and 3 points could slip for arsenal anywhere it seems

[dry plinth]

Wait that picture dates from long ago

[merry dew]

yeah

[silk gazelle]

Yes

[twin cloud]

Yes, but I don’t see Arsenal bottling it over all

[sinful temple]

If the bottlers bottle next game, there is still a chance

[quasi hull]

Ye... but am kinda scared we stumble again 😔

[proven geode]

Arsenal could draw and lose in two of their next five games and we would be one point behind . I don’t see it happening. Don’t get me wrong but if Arsenal where to drop more points while city continue this momentum then I would say yes.

[crystal tartan]

Finish below man united

[grand flower]

Yes

[storm flare]

Yeah probably

[charred mulch]

https://tenor.com/view/head-shaking-i-dont-give-a-fack-gif-14802771

[karmic kernel]

Sadly yeah. Massive win for them. The game between the two will be crucial

[daring snow]

ig

[fathom saffron]

Ye

[slim fern]

Yes

[maiden hearth]

same dudes who fell for tiki taka from man united of all teams

[nova ether]

No

[covert reef]

not completely but arsenal can drop 2 against brentford at the gtech and city get a win v fulham to put them 4 behind, if that then the title race is still alive

[frozen badger]

yes

[haughty blaze]

Its put them back in the race but a stumble is possible

[ocean fog]

Will stumble again

[ocean fog]

Yes

[twin burrow]

Yes

Arsenal has been 1st in a title race most of the season before

And they have bottled it numeruous times from that position. So definetly

[thick current]

they are definitely in it, but the gap is getting too big

[grand sentinel]

Sí

[shadow oxide]

yes

[lone saffron]

we were never out of it, but we can easily stumble again

[rapid coral]

yeah, ‘The Gooners’ are not certain winners like some people think they are

Aubameyang to Barcelona actually wasn't a loan

I was about to say it too

but he first terminated his Arsenal contract then joined

[vital willow]

Moise Kean

Question 240

When do you think Man United will actually win five games in a row?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[fathom saffron]

[jovial crest]

Next season earliest

[fathom saffron]

How would I know

[naive ledge]

Europe next season + prem we will

[jovial crest]

Bros never heard of having an opinion

[hoary raptor]

When they're actually motivated to do so, probably at the end of the season

[fathom saffron]

I'm not from the future

[fathom saffron]

Bros never heard of a joke

[grand flower]

Next season most likely

[sinful temple]

When perez leaves madrid

[fathom saffron]

When I fall asleep

[tropic lance]

Next season sadly, even if we were to not loose a single game we wouldn’t win five in a row. If the institution genuinely can’t handle the pressure of a fan cutting his hair to achieve what should be a very easy task for a ”big” team, then the institution is fried

[merry dew]

next season or the last 5 games of this season

[daring snow]

when they beat their opponents 5 games in a row

[hollow frost]

Not this season, but probably next season

[young yarrow]

Perhaps when when they score more goals than their opponents for 5 straight matches

[night olive]

[thick sparrow]

[thick sparrow]

Ppl don't see Carrick sucess

[young yarrow]

Like why do we exactly have to care about it specifically and why does man united themselves have to, they have their own things to worry about

[thick sparrow]

Its funny, but it went TOO FAR

[thick sparrow]

Its funny

But c'mon

Carrick done so good work

[young yarrow]

Yea too bad no one notices because of that one guy

[dry plinth]

But they can do that this season trust

[knotty yew]

They’re winning the next 5

[drowsy schooner]

Exactly

[knotty yew]

? It gets even more attention BECAUSE of that guy lmao

So many to pick from:

• Messi scoring at Vicente Calderon in 2015 to seal the first title of the treble season
• Barcelona 4-2 Atletico at Camp Nou in 2022, the first big statement win of Xavi's team
• Atletico 2-4 Barcelona last season, remontada from 2-0 down and making a massive step towards the league title

Question 242

Do you think Hansi Flick’s coaching was exposed yesterday, and that both his and Barcelona’s future aren’t as bright as they seemed at the start of last season, or was it just a single bump in the road?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[covert reef]

he defo got exposed, simeone took advantage of that highline

[frozen badger]

bump in the road and exposed ig this is a lesson for us

[maiden hearth]

he's def the one who taught lamine yamal how to talk like he does

[opal condor]

We can't expect to always win tho, hard times can come too

[merry dew]

simeone countered him

[nova ether]

No. Barca still has one of the best squads in Europe and can win both UCL and league

[exotic laurel]

Fraud

[nova ether]

(Flick needs to solve his defensive weakness though)

[raw nimbus]

It showed that flick needs to improvise more certainly
But at the same time the team is pretty young & talented still
So the overall project is still fine enough for the next few seasons
But they do need to spend a little in the summer if they manage to have ffp space to improve this team further

[haughty star]

Idk bro

[exotic laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/lil-yachty-drake-laptop-duh-gif-8033838636860661307

Ty for your insight

That makes no sense

[haughty star]

[maiden hearth]

lamine yamal was not as egotistical as this under xavi

at all

[exotic laurel]

Yeah because that was his first season as a professional footballer

Tf

God just be making people

[maiden hearth]

well i'm glad God made me then

[frosty coral]

Yamal hasn't even said anything controversial since the Clasico in October

[kindred lark]

he finally learnt his lesson but we will see how long the peace lasts

[nova ether]

He is a teenager

His brain hasnt developed completely

Meanwhile you have 41 year olds doing tantrums in Saudi

[frosty coral]

what lesson?

[kindred lark]

saying and posting dumb shii on ig then getting clowned right after

the moment he posts those things ppl start hatewatching

[frosty coral]

nothing wrong with what he did

and let's not act like Real Madrid are the ones with good morals and exemplary behavior

[kindred lark]

the thing is if someone like lets say vini gets a stinker he didnt post anything crazy about it on ig the day prior

[simple lark]

Ofc we had to get cooked and yeah he got exposed

[torn urchin]

Their defence is shite their their cbs are medicore. So the offside trap and highline is the only thing they can use.

Also good cbs need a lot of experience

[dry plinth]

Yes it has exposed that it's not always bright

4-0 down at Metropolitano as Copa d'Espagna, a bit rude

[trail narwhal]

Flick is exposed by Diego Pablo Simeone the 3rd and his Atletico Madrid brave knights.

[tropic lance]

It was a bit of both. They’ definitely missed the two players but it doesn’t help that he remains sticking to the high line even with 10 men. Sometimes the situation calls for a different approach and that’s the biggest flaw. Of course the defense was shambolic but still. Embarrassing display and they’re going to need a miracle to bounce back

[daring snow]

hes still just trying to aura farm by completing the greatest comeback ever in the return leg

[drowsy schooner]

Do i have to take back all the Real Madrid messages pre Real Madrid - Arsenal at the bernabeu?

[uneven mirage]

He was exposed,you can't play a high line in today's football if you don't have good players

[grand sentinel]

Exposed BUT we will still be champions of europe in 3 months

[river frost]

Ik ts was yesterday but you're uneducated he throwed a tantrum cause the players werent getting fairly paid

[river frost]

I always wondered why wont teams just make their wingers stretch the defense and fullbacks will advance and just have a compact mid block

Against barca

[karmic kernel]

Got exposed but a bump in the road. He can pivot

[ocean fog]

Exposed hut is fixable, scrap the high line or get different defence

[winter wave]

I'd say it's a mix of both if that makes sense, his tactics were exposed but c'mon man it's Flick. He'll find a way to bounce back, not necessarily in the very next match but he'll find a way for sure

[stray oracle]

yeah that had to be flicks worst game in a while.... but i would give credit to simeone instead of critisizing flick
simeone exploited barca's weakness clinically unlike other big clubs. but this is just a bump in the road.... flick is still doing pretty well(except this game)

[rotund bone]

Question 243

Today is one of the biggest matchups in Italian and world football: Inter vs Juventus. Inter are currently undefeated in 12 consecutive Serie A matches. Do you think Spalletti and Juventus can beat them today and make the title race more open?

[covert reef]

they can pull off a draw if inter aren't up to it

kenan yildiz will defo cause havoc to that inter defense

[obtuse wharf]

Spalletti and Juve won't be in the title race
But I do think we will either draw or lose today

Goals fest incoming regardless

Our defence has improved massively

But both goalkeepers are ASS

[vague saddle]

Most probably Inter win. They are in red hot form. A juve win would benefit Ac Milan the most

Vitinha got better this season but people start calling him overrated 😭

i swear

[tacit crystal]

Pedri and Bellingham have operated at a higher level than Vitinha for years and I’m supposed to pick Vitinha because people have recency bias plz rest

😭😭

His game is different he doesn't do what vitinha and pedri do and vice versa

Yh, we'll do more, but there aren't that many variants as interesting as this one left, so it probably won’t be that often

Some don't even have wikipedia profiles, that's how unknown they were

They won the ucl coz of a miracle comeback against the mighty Valencia

So fairs but seeing some ucl winners over the years, i'll choose them

[covert reef]

so we're gonna act like the players are unknown which makes them bad?

Question 247

Can Galatasaray make a deep underdog Champions League run this season based on their emphatic win over Juventus, or was it more about Juventus being awful?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[frozen badger]

idk

[drowsy schooner]

Juventus being awful

[drowsy schooner]

Analyst thought

[sinful temple]

Juve is awful

[covert reef]

juventus were just awful, decent when attacking but their defense was all over the place

[night olive]

Juve being shit

[drowsy schooner]

Spalletti has always shit campaigns when it comes to Europe

[wintry frost]

No

[orchid frost]

juve being bad

[rotund bone]

i believe in the old lady 90mins

[atomic kite]

its js juve being shit ngl

[tropic lance]

I think it’s more juve being terrible than anything. I think they’ll still make it through qualifications but get knocked out next round

[atomic kite]

I mean that game saw cabal's worst ever game for juve, cambiasso was shit, kenan was practically invisible, defence long gone and ye everything js went wrong

[glossy glen]

I see them reaching far they are a good and solid team

Probably quarters maybe

[tropic vale]

I think they will go for quarter finals

[drowsy schooner]

In what, if he holded the result, would have been his best campaign, he lost 7-1 in the second leg

[clever crest]

a bit of both galatasaray played really well and took their chances but Juventus were also a mess gala can definitely pull off an upset or two but a deep champions league run would still be a huge surprise

[covert reef]

if galatasary get spurs instead of liverpool they can get quarters though

[stray oracle]

i think its just a bad performance from juve but they could maybe cuz they will prolly have to face liverpool whom they have already beat this season or spurs

[drowsy schooner]

Remember : when Spurs are shit in the league they are good in Europe and viceversa

[covert reef]

and if they beat spurs quarters would be either barca, psg or chelsea

so quarters is the furthest they get

[daring snow]

they get knocked out the moment they face a good side

[versed sedge]

Juventus wasn't bad, but Galatasaray was in great form.

[fickle canyon]

No

Juve isn't that good

They need a bigger team to determine how good this squad is

[grand flower]

We were just bad yesterday

[slim fern]

Juve being crap but then again, Porto won the Champions League in 2004 so anything can happen

[drowsy schooner]

Oh wow they beated pafos Benfica at home and drew to Villareal Monaco and Sporting, what an achievement

[surreal folio]

Juve is just ass

[lapis nimbus]

No, their path is just way too strong for them to make an underdog story in the UCL 2026.
Yeah, sure, beat Juve Away 5-2, respectable icl, but Juve is just not that good lately I'd reckon even Hoffenheim could beat them at home.

[karmic kernel]

Major blow. They are already have a declining reputation especially if Italy miss the WC again

[young yarrow]

Italian clubs have been mostly overachieving in uefa competitions for a while, mainly because the revenue from them keeps them alive, so bad results this year will have a decently large impact

It wasn't even top 5 league since 10 years. Ppl js hype bc Italy

[surreal folio]

Mid table

[hoary raptor]

I'd say Chelsea would probably end up like West Ham, a decent mid table club with an ambition for European success

[heady ermine]

Lmao that reaction killed me

[tight obsidian]

most likely a Leeds/Bolton outcome due to financial constraints

[dreamy cliff]

I dont know

[junior blaze]

Mid table club

[junior blaze]

They weren't that bad they actually had the potential

They and Man City could be Premier League's talent factory too tbh like Dortmund for top tier clubs if they were never taken over by oil

Europe spot pushers

[karmic kernel]

Mid table PL

[tight obsidian]

I've never watched them during that time but all I've heard was that they were struggling financially and were like an upper mid table side, usually for me that doesn't lead to a bright trajectory without any major financial investment into the club which Abramovich did

would've gone into administration most likely

[harsh cobalt]

Bouncing from championship to prem

[storm flare]

Start Lewa
Bench Suarez
Sell Benzema

[limpid minnow]

Great balll knowledge

[solemn prairie]

Suarez, Lewa, Benzema

[heady ermine]

In that exact same order

[shell meadow]

Damn

[dreamy cliff]

Start: Lewandowski
Bench: Suarez
Sell: Benzema

But that question depends on what kind of striker you need. I just went by goalscoring ability

[shell meadow]

Start suarez bench lewa sell Benz even though i would start 3 of them

[dreamy cliff]

But tbh hard question cause all were unreal in those seasons. But the thing is Benzema had 1 unreal season and lewandowski had like 6 of them

[frosty coral]

Start Suarez, Bench Lewy and sell Benzema

Easy question

[trail vigil]

Lewa Suarez benzema

[slim fern]

In that order actually

[ocean fog]

^^

[bold bane]

Start Suarez bench Lewa Sell Benzema

[lapis nimbus]

Start lewa
Bench suarez
Sell Benzema

[thick current]

start suarez
bench lewa
sell benzema

[sullen oar]

Start Lewa
Yeah

[haughty star]

Start Suarez sell both buy messi and Neymar

[drowsy schooner]

2 striker system (Suarez and lewa) with Benzi on the bench 😛

[covert reef]

start lewa
bench suarez
sell benzi

[dry plinth]

Sell Suarez, Bench Lewa and Start Benzema

[sinful temple]

yoo another one of theseeee I'd say start: Lewa bench: biterboy and sell: benzi

[surreal folio]

Start lewa bench benzi sell suarez

[sudden crane]

Personally:
Lewa
Suarez
Benzema

It is strange bcuz Benzema sure did win a ballon dor and deservedly so but idk like. Still feel the other 2 overall were better strikers

[fallow rampart]

Lewa, Suarez, Benzema

[grand sentinel]

25/26 Ferran, 25/26 Ferran, 25/26 Ferran

[wild bear]

Start Benzema
Bench Lewandowski
Sell Suarez

[covert ibex]

obv start lewa

sell the bitter

[covert ibex]

bench benzi

mb for that

idk

[frosty coral]

This actually makes the most sense tbf

Ferran 25/26 too good that he should start. But at the same time so bad that he should be benched/sold.

[quasi flare]

Question 253

Should the away goals rule be brought back? Why or why not?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[daring snow]

no

because i have ptsd from them

fuck that

[night olive]

No

[daring snow]

https://tenor.com/view/tottenham-hotspur-new-stadium-champions-league-uefa-gif-13902822

that works ig

[naive ledge]

No

[sturdy warren]

No

[cosmic spruce]

nahh

[odd ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/rashford-psg-marcus-rashford-gif-13888962

[keen nimbus]

Nah

[frosty coral]

No, it served its purpose by giving us historic matches. But it is a rule that can be very unfair.

[opaque finch]

Idek what that is😭

[tough swift]

Yes but away goals should stop counting in extra time as that was straight up unfair

[azure vale]

new gen

[plucky bobcat]

No.

[frosty coral]

bro what? I'm assuming you're very new to football

[opaque finch]

I jus play

[plucky bobcat]

We'll have Bodø reaching the UCL final because they abuse their home advantage then score a few away. 😭

[frosty coral]

oh I see

[rotund bone]

football is an entertainment sport no doubt that the away goal rule makes it more exciting but no it shouldnt be back

[dapper zenith]

definitely, a 100% no

[tough swift]

Made an extra layer to the game, made European games have a difference to domestic one and is no more or less unfair than a penalty shootout which a coinflip anyway

[glossy glen]

yes

[tough swift]

But having it in extra time was bullshit as gave one team 30 mins extra to score an away goal and lead to home team parking bus

[glossy glen]

because yes

[frosty coral]

As a Barcelona fan, my club has both enjoyed (Chelsea 2009) and suffered (Roma 2018) from away goals rule.

I don't want it back. The game's better without it.

[vague saddle]

No

[dry plinth]

NO

[tough swift]

Away goals rule wasn't the talking point in 2009 it was god awful refeering so don't think that games a fair judge of the rule

[pliant atlas]

No, teams being rewarded for scoring away is nonsense. Yes its a harder feat but the better team over the two legs should go through, that's why extra time and pens are important to decide this

[opaque finch]

Ight I getit now fck nah

[frosty coral]

Barca-Chelsea in 2009 was not a robbery but that is not the topic so I won't talk about it here

[tough swift]

I never said it was a robbery as I'm not getting into that I said that it's a bad judge of the away goal rule as the main talking point was the referee

[raw nimbus]

It was fun & made matches engaging as a neutral
But if your own team lost due to away goals it also felt pretty unfair & harsh

So nah

[quick loom]

Depends if it benefits my team

[tough swift]

There's no point debating with el clasico fans about uefa refs as they both got so much help anyway and it was 17 years ago

[tropic lance]

No. Even though it can give special moments it just ruins some games.

[kindred trench]

yes

ties are more decisive

with away goals

[hoary raptor]

Perhaps we need to bring it back, away goals can make knockout matches unpredictable especially when an underdog/dark horse won these matches. It adds more drama to knockout matches

[kindred trench]

away goals encourages more attacking by the away team

[heady ermine]

This way better but i would bring the old formation for ucl if i could

[drowsy schooner]

No

[lapis nimbus]

I wouldn't mind

[tight obsidian]

yes, made away games way more worth it to watch and gave them a better chance

right now practically if you're a big team you are guaranteed a win in the knockouts and away goals can change that

people who don't want it back are just confused by the rule

[solemn prairie]

Heck no

[slim fern]

Heck no

[bold bane]

Fuck no. Away disadvantage is a myth anyway

The team that scores more deserves to win simple

[hasty plaza]

Not at all, it just gives you an advantage which u can pay for it

[wild bear]

Someone's mad lmfao

[haughty blaze]

Yes its a fun rule that makes sense as away games are harder than home games

[normal nova]

fuck no

[winter wave]

aw hell nah

[simple lark]

No absolutely not

[thick current]

not at all

[grand sentinel]

fr

[grand sentinel]

no because we lost to roma because of it

[covert reef]

no even though it helped us against psg

[stray oracle]

no.... not too significant of an advantage in most cases

[serene cosmos]

hell nah

[stray schooner]

no stupid

[rapid coral]

yes (with bias)

[surreal folio]

Hell nah

[harsh cobalt]

Unless there’s gonna be another United vs PSG type of thing, no

[surreal knoll]

No because we lost to Barca for it

[alpine ginkgo]

No.It encourages the home team to be very defensive.Leave it as it is.

[torn urchin]

No

[lunar forge]

Nope

[half musk]

Real Madrid needs to get their shit together

[elfin mirage]

No. Home teams often play too defensively in the first leg to avoid conceding, fearing the double-weight of an away goal. If the tie goes to extra time, the away team gets an extra 30 minutes to score a goal that counts double, putting the home side at a massive disadvantage.

[sinful temple]

oh nah

[quasi flare]

Question 254

How did Inter Milan lose both legs to Bodø/Glimt, bad tactics, poor mentality, or did the underdogs just outplay them?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[tidal flint]

the underdog outplayed them

[primal trench]

Underdogs outplayed them fs

[tidal flint]

Inter is by far the best Italian team rn

[rotund bone]

its the vikings innit

[marble ivy]

Underdogs outplayed them from what i did see, but i didn't see both games of the matchup in full

[tropic lance]

Clearly they just had nothing. They played terrible in many ways. Second leg how do you have above 20 shots and just like 4-6 on target?? Yes bodo played out of their minds but inter Milan were just trash (in my opinion)

[scarlet stream]

rigged
