Bayern has lost to Leipzig at home. I'm sure Borussia will definitely not choke or bottle this one and will put an end to Bayern's reign of terror.

Dortmund lost their first game against Augsburg this season so ...

If Dortmund should win tomorrow they would be two points ahead of Bayern which means they must win their final game too. Should Dortmund only play draw next week and should Bayern win against Cologne then Bayern and Dortmund have the same amound of points but Bayern will be champions again bc of the better goal difference.

And now the game is over, and with it the title race. This bullshit is getting old.

And Man City has won the EPL.

Allow me to cope by pointing out City still have those 100+ charges of FFP being charged by the EPL that could result in massive punishment. I mean, they will probably charge the people who visited Epstein's island first but let me cope damnit

I was initially against City getting punished for that since they didn't exactly cheat to win, they didn't buy referees etc, but its for the greater good that City gets fucked.

If nothing happens from this, then nothing ever will. The Everton scandal that Burnley, Southampton, Leeds, Leicester, and I think Nottingham Forest are in for like 300 billion over the FFP that wasn't enforced while they were threatened with relegation. Can't imagine Chelsea would sit by and be punished if they spent a few more hundred mil in the transfer windows without a punishment. And lord knows how awful Newcastle spending will become without any limits to it. Going to be something to behold to see it all fall apart because they can't enforce the rules they write

 

[The Carpet Crawler]

It's only half-time, but given that they host Southampton and with the scoreline the way it is, it seems that Brighton will secure its spot in a European tournament for the first time ever with a game in hand, regardless of how the City and Villa games will end. Soon it'll be Spurs vs. Villa for that final spot, and I don't think Spurs can do it. All that assuming they don't melt down all the sudden.

 

[Tom Nook's Gloryhole]

One of the things I missed from yesterday is that with Liverpool only securing a draw, Newcastle have effectively confirmed Champions League places bar losing 5-0 for their next two games. I was convinced Newcastle would choke in the end with it getting so close but I didn't expect Liverpool to draw against Villa when everything mattered.

Man City getting confirmed Champions without even playing thanks to Arsenal bottling against a relegation threatened team is just peak hilarity. I get maybe drawing a few games when the pressure is on but Arsenal's collapse is straight up lunacy.

Also my predictions for next week are a Leeds win and an Everton draw, leading to Everton staying up on goal difference.

Stuttgart just won 4:1 so Augsburg needs at least 1 point to be 100% safe from getting relegated to 2nd Bundesliga. Augsburg already won this season against Dortmund (in Dortmund) and against Bayern (in Augsburg).

Let's gooo Augsburg.

 

[Tom Nook's Gloryhole]

Watching the smug, middle class Guardian type journalists all collectively shitting on Man City since the match on Wednesday has been great. You can see the pain in their faces as they have to deal with casual football fans ENJOYING Man City despite being the face of sportswashed genocide. Why don't people think of a nameless Pajeet builder who got turned into pink goo doing typical Pajeet construction work before they admire a Haaland goal or a De Bruyne pass? STOP ENJOYING THINGS YOU FUCKING UNEDUCATED LOWER CLASS FOLK, FOOTBALL ISN'T FOR YOU!

And like clockwork, here they are again when City fans celebrated on the pitch. Ruining the spirit of the game with uh... celebrating a title win.

Let's gooo Augsburg.

Dortmund won 3:0 so they are 1st now and 2 points ahead Bayern.

Augsburg saw a red card in 38th minute but Dortmund was only able to score around the 60th minute the 1:0. During the most of the match the ref clearly favourited Dortmund. Fucking ridiculous how often he let Dortmund players get away with fouls, dogpilling him on every decision and other shit while he was awarding Augsburg players yellow cards like he is handing out candy for just looking grim at someone.

Next weekend Dortmund will play against Mainz (who lost today 4:1 against down-the-table Stuttgart) while Bayern will play against Cologne. Dortmund needs to win, a draw won't be enough. But my bet is on them winning against Mainz bc Mainz lost like the last 5 or 6 games and can't gain anything anymore from this season.

So congrats to Dortmund I guess.

Don't jinx it you german fucker lol. I wanna see Bayern lose all 3 trophies after what they did to Naglesmann.

And like clockwork, here they are again when City fans celebrated on the pitch. Ruining the spirit of the game with uh... celebrating a title win.

Fuck journalists. City fans should be celebrating. The last time City dropped points was back in fucking February on the 18th at Nottingham Forest and the last time they lost a game was against Tottenham back on February 5th. That run is fucking amazing and puts into perspective how far Arsenal managed to push them and what it forced them to do to win the league. And they did it. Their fans should be celebrating a season that is probably going to end up with at least a double (since I don't see United stopping them).

Also my predictions for next week are a Leeds win and an Everton draw, leading to Everton staying up on goal difference.

Everton at home to Bournemouth looks like a win for them. Leeds at home against Tottenham seems like a Tottenham choke as well. Would love to see both of them win and just make it impossible for leicester to survive

 

[Personal Jesus]

I'll be watching Dortmund next weekend. If they don't win this one they can go fuck themselves.

Liga Portugal's champion will also only be decided in the last matchday, probably worth watching too.

I’m up to my neck hearing about this Vinicius Jr. racism bullshit. It’s all any fucking football social media can talk about right now. At this point I’m glad it happened and I hope it happens again.

 

[Chad Holdenford]

I seriously think sports journos secretly love these racism cases, just so they can wax philosophic and concerned for the most part of their weekly programs. I sure as fuck won't be giving them any of my time and ratings for that.

Every single recap of the Madrid x Valencia match that is in German the commentator is going nuts bc Vinicius saw red. Bc quote "how dare the ref showing Vinicius a red card when racist people where insulting him in the first place!?!?!?"

I fucking hate journos.

 

[Tom Nook's Gloryhole]

Tbh the Valencia fans were kinda retarded for straight up making 'mono' chants. At least whistle so there's the ambiguity over whether you're being racist or not, and can still mentally destroy the player.

 

[Personal Jesus]

Vini Jr. is one of the 3 best players in the world today. If he indeed leaves LaLiga like he alluded to, it will be awful for the league's image. It already is bad for them.

The retard president is running the risk of sponsors and viewers droping out if they don't take any action.

Someone brought this up somewhere else but it had me thinking - if LaLiga really shits the bed with handling the racism within the league, would that possibly put a spanner in the works for Madrid's plans to sign Bellingham? I hope not, but maybe all this negative press on the league could give him and his family cold feet.

Arsenal's collapse in the last run of games has been one of the funniest moments of Premier League history. Dropped out of three cup competitions to give them a massive rest advantage over Man City (who are still in three different cup contests). Went all out in January and invested in squad depth to improve their chances of staying top of the league. In the same month they were eight points clear of Man City.

And they still fucked it. They've lost the league after nearly 250 days on top, they're ending the season with absolutely no silverware, no golden boot, no golden gloves, no top assist award. All they have to show for this season is a UCL spot. They bottled it. Classic Arsenal.

I forgot to mention that in my post but it'd possibly become harder for any Spanish team to sign black players if things get really bad. I mean, sure, money talks but LaLiga is not the only place a footballer can get rich.

In other news, Juventus got thrashed by Empoli. I'm almost sure they will claim they were psychologically affected by the news of the punishment.

 

[DSP's Tax Lawyer]

All these things are true at once

-Journalists love the racist stories as it gives them multiple stories to write about things other than the sport they hate
-Valencia were retarded with their racist abuse. Not the least bit disguising it at all
-The refs in Spain have no idea how to handle this situation. At least Italy has the players walk off to pretend like they are doing something and get the game played.
-La Liga has a massive problem. They are barely more marketable than Ligue 1 but I don't think they are better than Serie A or the Bundesliga. This will absolutely kill off all advertisers and broadcasters to their product and bankrupt them. I don't think taking a knee before games will do the trick anymore
-The way Vinicius acts to these chants will 1000% increase the amount of chants made against him. He is Madrid's best player by far, especially with Modric and Benzema's decline. He is also their future. But now that the best player on Madrid can be taken out of the game by racist chants, teams will continue to do it

 

[The Carpet Crawler]

The way I understand the story, most of the crowd was yelling the Spanish equivalent of "dummy", which would be benign, but the "mono" chants were nonetheless still audible. ... Hoo boy.

Anyhow, Newcastle has now secured a Champions League appearance for the first time in two decades. That last spot will now be contested between Man United and Liverpool, and I think the former will squeak by.
