Pisa promoted for the first time after 34 years. Lean years over for them!

I’ll see myself out.

Another classic in the making between Barcelona and Inter. Inter was up 2-0 at half and it’s 2-2 after 60 minutes now.

Confirmed certified classic. Barcelona scores in the 87th, Inter in the 93rd, Yamal with a chance to win it right at the end and we’re going to extra time.

I might be overreacting in the moment but that has to be a top-5 knockout tie ever.

For the love of god please don’t become a meme club and lose to Tottenham, we’ll never live it down.

Wonder how much money they are making to fly out to Qatar to play another team from the Western Hemisphere in a friendly.

 

Edit: Forgot that it's midseason for all the European players.  Makes sense.

Palace beats Man City in the FA Cup Final to win their first major trophy ever.

That would probably be during the international break, which is around November and then March every season.

COYS!

It's the year of ending droughts so why have Spurs do the same. Palace won their first trophy ever. Newcastle won their first in 70 years or whatever it was. Bologna won their first trophy in 50 years. Either a third division side (though promoted to the second) or Stuttgart (last trophy 2007) will win the DFB Pokal.

Not feeling too great about it because Spurs kind of suck. Their last league win over a non-relegated team was on Feb 16 (over ManU). Of course, ManU sucks just as much, and their last league win against a non-relegated team was Jan 26. Wish Maddison was healthy but at least we have our two CB there and Spurs have been much better defensively when both Romero and van de Ven are both in the lineup.

Losing four times to this Spurs side and one being in a European final is rock bottom.

I do look forward to seeing Ange at the victory parade.

The tweets type themselves lol.

Happy that if anyone was to beat us in the EL final, it was an Ange managed side. I watched some of his earliest matches he managed in his career at South Melbourne. Who was to think that 30 year later he would have been managing a big club in England and has just won a European trophy.

I like Ange. Seems like a good dude. From what I've seen he's pretty thoughtful in his press conferences and seems pretty down to earth. There are definitely reasons to bring him back. I just hope if they bring him back, it's not because he won a trophy. ManU was in the exact same spot with ten Hag last year. The finished 8th with a -1 GD and they 1 of 6 UCL games to finish last in a group with Copenhagen and Galatasaray, But they had a fluky FA Cup run where they beat Man City in the final and kept ten Hag. He lasted 2 1/2 months this year and got fired anyway. There's a decent chance that sunk their season this year because rather than getting a new manager in who could bring in players who fit his system and giving him a full preseason with the team, they had to pivot mid year.

So if Spurs want to keep Ange because they think all the injuries were fluky and think he can be successful with a hopefully deeper squad next year that can entice players with UCL games, fine. I disagree, but I understand it. But don't keep him on because he won a trophy, because that's likely not going to end well.

Naples went nuts after winning the Seria A yesterday evening.

[JHBulls]

horsefeathers hell we’ve become a banter club.

 

[Transmogrified Tiger]

and then they lost 1-0 to the ASEAN all star team

Man that was an ass kicking. Not surprised PSG but surprised they won like that.

Rough end of the year for Inter. Lose the UCL final, lose Serie A by a point, lose in the semis of the Coppa Italia. They also lost the final of the Italian Supercup.

[soccer10k]

 

Spurs will be the Knights, PSG will be Guest, of course.

[JHBulls]

 

That is some elite trolling.

Sorry, Jerry. You came too late to the party.
