daily-question

[wise garnet]

I hate that its moving to a whole different country

only 2 canadian teams will be left in mls

[bright umbra]

Stuff like this is why I dont take professional american sports seriously

[wise garnet]

aslong as a league doesnt have relegation/promotion it should never be taken seriously icl

[tulip basin]

it is one of the stupidest things, the club is based in Vancouver so keep it there. I understand money can be a problem but there should be safety nets to keep these clubs alive. Moving to Las Vegas is basically creating a new club. Disgrace

[dry plinth]

WHAT ?

[harsh cobalt]

I’ll buy them instead

[languid needle]

welp the same thing has been done in England (MK Dons), France (Red Star FC), Belgium (Seraing, RWDM), Bulgaria (Litex Lovech), Poland (diskopolia or whatever you spell it), Germany (RB Leipshit), Austria (RB Shitburg) and many other that i cant name
However in all cases this has sucked ass and was a horrible decision to take, it should be banned to relocate a team uless its very close to another

[bright umbra]

Yeah but its basically a one off

This is common practice in america

[languid needle]

yep

It has already happened in the past, even the NBA has done this

they move club like companies change their office buildings

worst part is that it includes different countries idk if we ever had that case before tho

[wicked sedge]

if vancouver whitecaps fc actually move, itd be a pretty big shakeup for major league soccer, even if the league tries to play it cool. youd be losing a solid canadian market and kinda proving that even a run to the mls cup and the CONCACAF champions cup final doesnt really guarantee stability, which kinda rough for fans and players. and, for players, vegas could be nicer in terms of money, facilities, and exposure, but also more distractions and less of that loyal, tight-knit vibe. overall relocations just feel kinda off, like yeah vegas is a bigger market, but moving teams makes the league feel less rooted and more like a business move than something built for fans.

[torn urchin]

Who even cares about this

[balmy osprey]

most random question ever, no effect ig lol

[sinful temple]

American "soccer " is a joke

Don't follow it but seems shit

[karmic timber]

as someone who’s lost 2 of his teams to this same city (raiders and a’s), i hope it doesn’t happen and as much as mls clubs are technically franchises the fact it’s even happening in football here is just sad

[thick current]

save the whitecaps, absolutely absurd that the city's club would just get taken miles away from its home. america is a joke

[jolly vortex]

I agree with this as an American.

[rapid laurel]

When someone has more money then you in a different city like Las vegas relocation will always be an opiton sadly

Question 320

Do you feel that, due to the rise of social media and internet usage over the past 20 years, modern players are being over-analysed and criticised for every small mistake, especially compared to players from earlier eras?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[quick loom]

Yes

[placid abyss]

Oh absolutely

[thin cipher]

yes the critics are just going out of control now they're too much

[fresh turret]

Absolutely bro

[hoary bronze]

yes

[night ruin]

Absolutely

[uncut ether]

Yes

[elder needle]

the 'Fotmob' ification of football

[frosty coral]

Yes, definitely. And I think it goes beyond the footballers. In the old days, you wouldn't hear about transfer talks, managerial tactics, executive decisions and so on to the extent it is done now. It's all a package deal with social media.

[hollow goblet]

10000%

[tight obsidian]

for sure yh

[shadow oxide]

yes

[bold bane]

Absolutely

[light mantle]

Yes

[trail narwhal]

big fat yes.

[fallen ravine]

Yes

[harsh cobalt]

Yes

[surreal knoll]

Yes

[sinful temple]

Definitely

[karmic kernel]

Yes 100%

Everything nowadays is about stats. No one actually watches

[tulip basin]

100% stats like goals and assists take priority over actually watching the impact players have on a team.

[balmy osprey]

they’re not criticized enough but yeah

[thick current]

100%

[sinful temple]

I mean the people who just criticise over 1 bad game is ridiculous but when those games pile up i wouldn't be against criticising the player

[nova hazel]

yeh for sure

[sand path]

Yeah like the guys on tiktok that analyse every players dribble or shot. Nitpicking at them for the slightest mistake, like a weird touch or bad curve on a shot.

[hollow goblet]

fotmob and g/a has corrupted the young minds

[split glacier]

Well undoubtedly that’s the case with the introduction of stats like expected( anything) , dribbling stats, etc

While I do think players are a lot more criticized you can also think about how many old generation players escaped criticism because of this . It works both ways .

[halcyon blade]

hear hear 🗣️

[odd heath]

absolutely

[bold bane]

I'd also add that I think this over analysis and hyperfocus on efficiency metrics somewhat contributes to players being too afraid to take risks

Question 321

Today is Manchester United vs Liverpool, a fixture full of history, intensity, and rivalry. What is your favourite match or moment from this iconic English football rivalry?

Question 323

Which club do you think has the most underrated Champions League legacy, a team that has achieved significant success in the competition’s history but doesn’t get enough recognition in modern football discussions?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[night olive]

Not Arsenal

[dim geyser]

U already showed the pic but i would say Liverpool

[stone matrix]

Ajax

[olive robin]

Ac Milan

[serene falcon]

???

[olive robin]

Not recognized enough even tho they have the second most

It’s cuz it was like 20 years ago

[serene falcon]

(Those 7 cups are what keep them alive today in the best club discussions)

[olive robin]

No one says ac Milan is a top 5 club it’s always
Madrid
Barca
Bayern
Liverpool
Man U

[serene falcon]

Ajax

[stone matrix]

ajax is way more underrated

[olive robin]

Ac Milan is the second best club in history

[stone matrix]

nobody even mentions ajax

[olive robin]

3 ucls is very rare but Ajax didn’t have any other big moments (Ik they reached 2019 semis)

[stone matrix]

they have 4

and won 3 in a row

this says a lot about your ball knowledge

[olive robin]

How tf am I supposed to remember a dead clubs ucls

I only know about the three peat

[deep bough]

@olive robin

[rough tundra]

2019 liverpool

[olive robin]

2022 I think

[stone matrix]

yeah thats the same time ajax won their league

[olive robin]

Ac Milan is also a dead club then

[stone matrix]

the disrespect

[olive robin]

Ac Milan overrated

7 ucls don’t mean anything

[rough aurora]

so 15 ucl doesn't mean anything? what are you saying bro?

[serene falcon]

It's bait

[olive robin]

Yeah it doesn’t

Afc>ucl

[rough aurora]

;-;

[rough aurora]

i have seen a couple of matches of the afc but you can't compare it to ucl

[frosty coral]

Ajax for sure

[peak beacon]

https://tenor.com/view/ball-knower-meme-bro-knows-ball-ball-gif-17027802866392353851

[frosty coral]

By that logic Real Madrid, Manchester United, Chelsea, AC Milan, Arsenal and Benfica are also dead clubs.

[ocean fog]

Ajax

[olive robin]

Yes lmao they all are

Remove Madrid and they haven’t won a ucl since 2015

[olive robin]

So you can’t compare it if you’ve never seen it

[frosty coral]

This shallow thinking is such a problem in football these days.

People like you drive the beauty away from football. You don't understand the sport.

Might as well go to lower league clubs and tell them to liquidate because they "did not win the UCL"

[olive robin]

But they’re supposed to be big clubs and win the ucl every season

[olive robin]

Dumbass thing to say, football is 10x worse than it was in 2012

The beauty is already gone I’m just sticking around

[frosty coral]

This decade we had the World Cup final arguably regarded as the greatest game of all time.

This decade we had some of the best UCL ties we've ever seen.

If you try hard enough, you'll find the beauty in even the little things. The materialistic mindset of trophies is blocking the vision.

Thank u bro, but we only have 3, compared to a few of the other clubs, we dun rly have much to brag

[dry plinth]

Yeah but you are going back to ucl next season

[serene cosmos]

Benfica - the 1st team from outside the top-5 leagues to win a UCL (and the 2nd team to ever win it)
Porto - dark horses can also win titles

[tulip basin]

I would have to say Ajax, won it 4 times (only 5 other clubs have won more) You never see them mentioned in even top 10/top 20 lists just because they play Eredivise

Question 324

Declan Rice was named Man of the Match yesterday as Arsenal booked their place in the Champions League final for only the second time in their history. Rice has performed very well for Arsenal this season and over the past few years. Where do you think he ranks among the best midfielders in world football currently?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[quaint elm]

3rd

[hoary bronze]

tbh 6th

[rain peak]

4th

[hot mango]

very hard to answer but he is there in the top 5 or top 7 for sure

[quaint elm]

very generous

[hot mango]

Rice is that backbone of our midfield and has been mostly consistently for 50+ matches or something in all comps

[restive fable]

Hes more of a 4th than 3rd to me but he's definitely top 3-5

[daring snow]

top 5

I would put him top 10, not sure exactly where

Question 325

Since Paris Saint-Germain F.C. have made back-to-back UEFA Champions League Final appearances, if they win and retain the title, how much do you think that would elevate Luis Enrique’s PSG side in all-time debates about the greatest football teams in history?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[thick sparrow]

We didn't win yet, stay humble

[fresh turret]

I dont think so

Even Nottingham forest has won 2 champions Leagues

[raw nimbus]

#11-days-to-go message

[turbid sparrow]

There’s a before and after UCL 2000

Even Reims almost won the Champions League, even Red Star has a CL

Football is also more difficult today

[hollow remnant]

They are good but let's not forget that Monaco would have beaten them if it wasn't for a red card in both games and also if the referee wasn't dogshit in the Bayern 2nd leg

They were way better last season

[frosty coral]

Don't know about PSG yet. But will definitely elevate Luis Enrique to a new level.

[pulsar zinc]

Context matters a lot here because of years of failure leading up to where they are now

[iron robin]

Awh Hell nah

[fallen ravine]

[torn urchin]

[turbid sparrow]

OM fan speaking ❌ opinion denied

Ref was right on Neves hand and on Mendes maybe ref was wrong but he said hand on Laimer before 🤷‍♂️

[hollow remnant]

then ref shoudlnt have awarded a pen on davies' handball in the first leg

[turbid sparrow]

Maybe and even then he moved his hand after the deviation which blocks the bal if he kept his hands behind his back which he was able to do, there wouldn’t have been penalty

And if the ref should not have awarded it for Davies then same for Pacho

(Diaz touches Pacho’s foot before he falls)

[hot mango]

top 10 for sure

simple because they won it back to back and how rare it is

[trail narwhal]

Yes. I agree.

[tulip basin]

Very entertaining yes but the only big games they play are in the UCL, they win ligue 1 without trying. The best players get so much more rest and they even postpone fixtures to help them in UCL

[night ruin]

theyd be up there
but Arsenal can give em trouble

[bright hearth]

Way better last season but

If they win the ucl

Which I think they will

If they win it will start putting them in big conversations

Like this season they have the best lb and rb duo for the 2nd year in a row now 😭

And this season it isn’t even that close

So basically PSG have many of the best players in the world right now and I feel like sometimes we do overlook them but they are a great team maybe even iconic if they win back to back UCLs

[heady ermine]

Arteta's year wait for it

[odd heath]

ajax

[odd heath]

rn behind pedri vitinha and bruno so 4th

[odd heath]

back to back cl in current footballing world is a huge achievement if they win the cl they are winning yet another treble that makes enrique the only manager to win 2 trebles if im not wrong thats a huge elevation on his managerial cv

[raw nimbus]

They lost coupe de france already, it wont be a treble this time

Oh sorry my bad

I’m not into France football that much

Question 326

Unai Emery has now reached his sixth Europa League final, this time with Aston Villa. He previously won the competition four times with Sevilla and Villarreal, while also winning Ligue 1 and several other domestic trophies with Paris Saint-Germain. How highly do you rate him as a coach, and how do you view his overall managerial legacy?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[hoary bronze]

Europa Manager

[burnt hawk]

good

[hollow goblet]

good manager

[safe scroll]

One of the best managers in Europe and my personal favorite

[hot mango]

in the premier league his standard is that he is a great coach that can coach a team below the top 4 to a european cup thats not the champions league

so i would rank him just below the top league winner winners from A to Z and then down a tier his level of managers ocme

[near walrus]

great manager revoloutionzed aston villa before him villa were struggling and championship level but with him villa reached insane heights and are a big favored team in every european competition and gave psg ( the champions ) a hard time last season and almost won but sadly lost by a 1 goal difference at the end , and are a good prem side

admire this guy`s tactical brilliance a lot even as a man city fan hopefully more success to come in the future !

in 3rd I think PSG just cause Ligue 1 isn't competitive so only really considering UCL. 2nd Man City only really done anything since 2017, in the years leading up to it I can't say it was amazing. And Chelsea 1st, consistent success all throughout his reign

[gusty plaza]

Man city went from relegation contenders to second greatest dynasty in the prem, psg’s only objective and MAIN focus was winning the ucl and it took them till 2025 and 7 years of mbappe salary and other bullshit money wasting to get it and yeah they’re good now but man city did it more efficiently and did more

Question 329

FC Barcelona yesterday won their 29th La Liga title and can still mathematically become centurions, showcasing another strong domestic season. Hansi Flick has improved Barca considerably over the last two seasons, dominating strongly at the domestic level, but what do you think the Barcelona board and Flick should work on in the offseason to extend their domestic dominance into Europe and end Barca’s 11 year-long UEFA Champions League drought as well? If you were involved, what transfer or tactical changes would you suggest to them?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[tulip basin]

It would be good for them to sign a striker to replace Lewandowski as he is 37 now maybe Lautaro Martinez or Julian Alvarez or even something insanely ambitious like Harry Kane (1 year left on contract). And I think they need a cb maybe Kim Min Jae or even getting Stones in on a free

I know money is a problem so not too sure how possible things are for them

[raw nimbus]

A younger 9 who can press well
& a left sided who is athletically sound & defensively well drilled

[tight obsidian]

mastery of the dark arts

[wanton zenith]

Signings :-

1. Bastoni.
2. Young no 9.
3. Backup left winger.
4. Free agent centre midfielder.
5. Promote Alvaro Cortes into the 1st team for backup.
6. Right fullback

Proper rests to the starters when going through the season.

[pulsar zinc]

A lot of people are saying Bastoni needs to go abroad now, and imagine if Real Madrid gives FC Barcelona Endrick

[sinful temple]

A better defense ( not all positions ) and someone to replace lewandowski

[wanton zenith]

yeah im not imagining that

[hoary bronze]

Extend

[jovial crest]

Need to invest in a proper number 9 and a more solid backline. Alvarez from Atleti and Bastoni from inter would do them so much good

[pulsar zinc]

Would Athelico actually sell Alvarez though to FC Barcelona

[peak beacon]

Lewa's getting old

Still world class

But sign a replacement just in case, send him out on loan until lewa retires

[jovial crest]

Alvarez has won nothing in 2 years with Atleti, I believe he'd push for the move

[elder needle]

Sell Araujo, Get Bastoni, Ditch the offside trap gimmick
Then they win sextuple

https://giphy.com/gifs/meme-sun-spongebob-qD4x9xE7FTwQwQMkHq

His high line tactic is effective provided he has defenders capable. Signings of some defenders seems necessary however in the mean time he should adjust/deviate. Lack of adaptation ultimately has cost him.

Question 331

João Cancelo recently became the first player to win the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, and Serie A in his career. Cancelo has been a pretty good, offensive-minded full-back for around the last 10 years, winning a lot at both the team and individual levels. How highly do you rate his ability, legacy, and career?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[hollow remnant]

he should come to OM to win all top 5 leagues

(absolutely not do not come if you don't wanna be depressed)

[true vault]

lmao

[olive robin]

Ability wise he’s good, not world class, in Saudi he was garbage, and his career is honestly insane, to win 4 different leagues out of 5

[cold bobcat]

He been pretty solid offensively though for most of his career in europe

[buoyant hinge]

Asian Arabs know nothing about football except its name, as Kroos said.

Perhaps he should take lessons from Arbeloa and let his players descend into a state of violence, instead of being a family with no egos.

Ngolo Kante makes a good point

Didn’t say Arbeloa was good, he’s even worse

Actually crazy that he was brought into city originally just to give Walker some competition but ended up surprisingly being diverse to the point where he was doing great. Unfortunate how it ended, apparently due tk mentality but very talented player overall on the pitch. I wouldn't say he will be remembered as a world class, but like a great player (level below).

Question 332

Inter yesterday achieved a Serie A + Coppa Italia double for the season. In the last six seasons, Inter have won three Serie A titles and three Coppa Italia trophies, showcasing strong domination in Italy. During the same period, however, they have also disappointingly lost two Champions League finals. What actions do you think Chivu and the Inter management should take this summer to finally help Inter break through in Europe as well?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[ornate aurora]

1 min to late

Terminate Bastoni's contract and let him go away... to any club of his choice. He's not worth a transfer fee. Punish him for the red card against Bosnia.

They need young Italian talents who have loyalty to Inter and to build around those players.

Bring 2 good and experienced defenders, Acerbi has to retire and Bissek makes the same mistakes as Konate. Also a playmaker would do great in the Midfield.

That CL final the year before highlighted the problem with having a majority aging squad when football is more physical/athletic than ever. I feel like there is defintley some balance needed with cass youngsters/veterans as opposed to that.

hard to answer this because if anything they overachieved to get to those UCL finals so if they overextend it's highly likely it backfires instead and they will go back to mid 2010's form

[young yarrow]

They put "Save the Caps" banners up at their matches

Question 336

Multiple sources have confirmed that José Mourinho will return to Real Madrid after 13 years this summer. The club endured a shocking season by its standards, suffering from a range of issues including tactical failures and poor squad chemistry. How should José and the Real Madrid board approach their work this summer and throughout next season to fix the mess the club has become?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[burnt hawk]

yes

maybe

50/50 chance

[ruby nacelle]

NEVER

he can't.

[hollow frost]

Sell the whole team

[clear umbra]

Yes

[frosty coral]

He might be able to somehow get this squad to gel, probably by giving a cold shoulder to troublemakers. But I don't think he can deliver the football to be a winning team so quickly.

[stone matrix]

I dont believe mourinho can fix us but he can help a lot if luck is on our side and the team doesn't act like children

[trail narwhal]

he's the only person that can fix this shitty team. If he fails to fix it, it's so so so so so over.

[tulip basin]

I think he has the respect as a top manager that a lot of the players will listen to. But I think having Vini and Mbappe causes problems as they are similar, I honestly think selling 1 of them is best for Madrid and buying an proper striker is needed. Maybe sell Mbappe and buy Haaland or Kane. And buying some young talents in those defensive positions would be really important

[stray oracle]

it will either work out very well (not for longer than a season or 2) or it will fail terribly

there is no inbetween

[hollow goblet]

It won't work out

I don't think so

[hoary bronze]

Better be

[winter wave]

don't really know about if it will work out or not, but just from pure spite i'd love to see mourinho humble these players. either he gets sacked early because of you-know-who but i'd love to see what chemistry Jose would have with Vini and the rest.

[sinful temple]

I need to see him get a new staff ( medical and training ) as well as humble these players so they don't think they're the boss

And actually have the aura of a manager

[wheat oxide]

fix the EGO

[wide plume]

Hi

[nova hazel]

idc

[surreal flame]

overthrow dictator mbappe

[umbral orchid]

make the team focus more and play real football. In 2017 you will see the team keeping the ball up focused but in 2026 mbappe and other poeple are laughing whne they miss a shot.

[marble ivy]

Just let it run like a social experiment at this point

Question 337

Which player, according to you, has showcased the best longevity in modern football?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[vale elk]

Kazuyoshi Miura, no doubt

[mossy cloud]

King kazu

[fresh turret]

Yeah kazu, but could be zlatan

[atomic kite]

Aside from miura, i would also go fabio

I know everyone will say king kazu 😭

[misty rapids]

Luka Modric

[raw nimbus]

While not as good as miura & modric as pointed above others

Would like to point out Lewa, been elite for the last 16 years constantly

[supple hearth]

King Mo Salah

[iron robin]

Craig Gordon

[hollow goblet]

Buffon

[tight obsidian]

Thiago Silva

[grand flower]

Modric

[crystal tartan]

Bruno casemiro mo salah neymar

[jolly vortex]

Dzeko, has been geeat up to near 40 across multiple leagues and still doing well for schalke. Never gets mentioned in the longevity conversations unfortunately but very deserving of it.

[opal vessel]

Neuer

[lusty anvil]

Luka, Cristiano

[bold bane]

Tony Adams ( I assume "modern football" means after 1992 and he retired in 2002 )

[hoary raptor]

Manuel Neuer

[serene cosmos]

João Moutinho

[marble ivy]

Neuer

[night olive]

Kazu

[sinful temple]

Modric and king kazu

[devout vine]

Neuer

[dapper zenith]

roque santa cruz

[bronze igloo]

@quasi flare Luka modrić no doubt

@crystal tartan Bruno is 32

[bronze igloo]

Not very impactful for his club rn

Bit Luka and ronaldo are

So is messi

But*

[hoary bronze]

Kazuyoshi Mizura

[vocal charm]

Cristiano by far

Maybe Dzeko too

[balmy drift]

James Milner

[fallen ravine]

Probably Cristiano and Messi, Modric and Buffon can also be considered

[devout ore]

neuer

modric up there

[tulip basin]

Ronaldo, Messi and Modric are top 3 I think. Played at such a high level consistently for such a long time.

[elder needle]

https://tenor.com/view/spfc-são-paulo-são-paulo-fc-tricolor-m1to-gif-17016482

[torn urchin]

Buffon

Akinfeev

[tough timber]

Franco Baresi

Probably puskas

Longevity: maintaining good form across multiple seasons (usually a decade + ) in a top league

So I don’t count Ronaldo or Messi’s mls or Saudi stints

[small stream]

bro modric been world class for like 20 yrs straight

[severe edge]

Question 338

After 6 seasons of perseverance, Mikel Arteta has finally completed "the Process" and led Arsenal F.C. to the Premier League crown after a 22 year wait. How do you feel about this moment? Do you think this is just a one off season, or are Arsenal now set to build a dynasty of domination after finally tasting victory? How much does this title elevate Arteta’s legacy in the eyes of football fans? What are your thoughts and feelings on everything surrounding this title?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[ornate aurora]

15 minutes this guy didn’t come that’s huge disrespect

[placid abyss]

If they keep the same core of players I can see them winning again next season

[burnt hawk]

sure

22 days to go world cup

wow

[raw nimbus]

They need a consistent goalscorer in offence & saka to be fully fit & form again

Then they are set for a few year period of dominance

[echo wraith]

Feeling motivated that it may take long but I can achieve things I can in life too

[haughty star]

Idk

[timber sapphire]

They are gonna get better in upcoming season

[bright umbra]

They'll probably continue doing well for a decent while. Id expect a title more or two in the next few szns

[severe edge]

One off season and teams like Man Utd and mancity will surely pass them in the league and everything

[shell meadow]

Think they will do well next season

[frosty coral]

Since Pep is leaving, it's on. Won't be surprised if Arsenal build a dynasty.

• City under Maresca would be the closest challengers
• United can improve further but still a long way to go
• Liverpool aren't serious
• Chelsea uncertain despite Alonso coming in

[atomic kite]

Alot of qns, but i prefer not to speak

[iron robin]

I am annoyed, I'm am no longer happy with football

I don't even know what to do anyway more, most of my jokes were about arsenal being shit

[slim stag]

they will retire now

[paper nacelle]

They're looking far far more stable than any contenders will be in the next few years, they can 100% keep this going

[jovial crest]

Hate to admit it but they're going to keep this up. Especially with Pep leaving and no other team being as stable and strong as them, they're set to enjoy some time at the top.

[karmic kernel]

It makes me so relieved to finally win the PL under Arteta. While I don't fully agree with the style of football that he plays, wins are wins and we take those! Time for me to celebrate like crazy!

But at the same time, I am extremely disappointed about the PGMOL and the referee standards across the board for the entire league. Every team got absolutely shafted. Some more than other and as an Arsenal fan, we definitely escaped a few poor decisions by VAR and refs.

If we make proper signings in the summer, I think Arsenal can contiune to run with this form. They really just need to fix the January and April mindset and they can do wonders.

[bold bane]

I feel elated. Mikel Arteta and this group of players has changed my life. If we get the summer right, the core of this squad is insanely good. I don't see why we can't dominate in the coming seasons if that's the case. Arteta has always been a tactical genius in my eyes and a textbook study on how to turn a club around from rags to riches, he's an Arsenal legend.

[thick current]

well it's been coming and it is totally deserved. arteta is a decent manager but not among the all time greats yet

[sinful temple]

Next season they'll go down

and then do great in 2028

likely to continue this form but i just feel like they won't be as dominant in the first half next season

[daring snow]

welll people can finally see that he is a world class coach

[tulip basin]

Honestly don't feel it sets off a 'dynasty of domination'. The style of play is boring and although this year it got wins I just don't feel it sets you up for long term success. Like Simeone with Atletico, simply an every now and again team rather than consistent titles. They have had some very dodgy decisions given in their favour such as the west ham goal being disallowed so I just feel it isn't an amazing title win

[night ruin]

no dynasty but they will be competitive for years

[clear umbra]

They’re still bad

[nova hazel]

one every 22

[lone saffron]

all depends on marescass

[young yarrow]

Unsure about "dynasty" but they will be contending for titles as long as they can keep the main parts of their team at their best. definitely not a one off season as they were showing signs in the past few years

[drowsy river]

I'm in fucking heaven, a dynasty is definitely coming 😈

[small stream]

i mean we can definiteley expect a couple more prems in the next decade from them, but i see them having little success in europe, and no real 2000s man utd type of dominance in the prem

[umbral orchid]

feel like they arent going to dominate DOMINATE europe as they likely would finish top 3 again in the PL next season like they always do. Im not suprised becuase this season had ups and downs like MAN U and Real madrid's and arsenal always finsih top 3 so not a big of a deal. And im a Man city fan so seeing man city bottle it twice drawing against easy teams is harsh to see and arsenal lift the PL trophy but it is what it is.

sorry couldnt explain everythign as my english is kinda wonky

Question 339

Aston Villa won the Europa League yesterday and ended their 30-year trophy drought. They’ve progressed their project extremely well over the past few years since Unai Emery came in. Where do you think Villa go next from here? Can they develop into a regular Champions League side and even challenge for the Premier League title down the line, or will they stagnate or decline?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[serene cosmos]

maybe, if they keep progressing

[modest shoal]

could replace spurs in the big 6

[iron robin]

They will win UCL trust

[solemn prairie]

Maybe

[hoary bronze]

maybe

[sinful temple]

They might actually be contenders for the pl and if they stay consistent might just stay in the UCL for a couple years

[bold bane]

Stagnation until Emery leaves. Decline afterwards.

[rocky summit]

Top 6 team

[frosty coral]

Hot take but they can sneak into a UCL final under Emery if they keep improving the squad every year

[bronze igloo]

@quasi flare @quasi flare most likely be a strong side in the league and ucl

But winning is a different story

[jovial crest]

Regular UCL participants

[fallen ravine]

Nah Newcastle should

[severe edge]

i feel like they will be a new champions league side for maybe one 2 seasons and will get a 4th and 6th can ofc wins the europa league again

[rocky summit]

Aston Villa has a more balanced team

[young yarrow]

Their peak is a consistent champions league finishes, and they can consistently remain as such

[tulip basin]

They play well and are a good team but I don't think they can sustain long term success. They don't have the same money as the big clubs, however I think they will be a team that get Europe most seasons maybe not always ucl tho

[fallen ravine]

But history factor

[raw nimbus]

What does @kindred trench think 🔥

[kindred trench]

aim is to consistently get top 5

for a sustained period of time

[kindred trench]

we wont be winning the pl

[grand sentinel]

Thank you serv.ai for your intelligence and cooperation.

[nova hazel]

i think theyll stay at their current level, but challenge for ucl football every season

[small stream]

very solid squad, excellent manager, contending for a prem is a little too far, but things like these are nearly impossible to predict unless you have an internal insight

[umbral orchid]

mabye

[final marlin]

no. they will remain the same.

[supple hearth]

Already replaced Spurs in the top 6, their problem is that they got a very old squad, only one u27 player in the starting lineup is worrying, if they fix that problem I can see them win the prem in a few years

[quasi flare]

Question 340

In this season, my local team (Al-Gharafa) were competing with Al-Sadd and Al-Shamal, and they were on top of the table for more than half of the season, despite being dreadful, in the run in Al-Sadd topped the table, and it came to the final gameweek to decide whether Al-Shamal or Al-Sadd lift the title, and they were facing each other, in the end Al-Sadd won, but still Al-Shamal went from fighting relegation 2 seasons ago to competing for the title.
