Today’s Football 2021/22 Season

[Handball]

Why though?

They are one of the best sides in Europe, on an unreal run, why did you expect a mid table Spanish side to trouble them. Mad how they got Benfica and Villarreal to get to a CL final.

Just the luck of the draw mate. And they do get all the luck. The draw is the draw. Can't argue with the actual draw, you just need to question how and why they get Villarreal. Bayern should've battered these

 

[Shevin Keedy]

There are like 400 stats that are complete anomalies because of empty grounds and people are still acting like that isn't the explanation.

Are you for real? Did only one of the teams on the pitch have any empty ground? Surely the empty grounds would affect everyone.

They did effect everyone. The entire season was mental. Across Europe.

Truth is folks there isn't that much around in Europe right now, City and RS are the Barca, Bayern and Madrid of a decade ago.

Mad watching them when the snooker's on

That is the scientific / statistical explanation you are giving, that the season was "mental"?

You can go look around if you want i can't be bothered but the results for home and away were outliers in all sorts of ways from every other year on record.

Yeah, but City won the title on the basis of an entire Covid empty ground scenario. Does that mean it's an asterisk season that doesn't count?

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Roma and Villarreal in two of their last 3 CL semi finals. Joke competition.

I just cant worry about potential relegation and "missing out" on finishing 12th making up the numbers in the Premier League when the entire integrity of the sport we grew up loving is in tatters.

Doping clubs
Human rights / murderer club owners
rigged system/rules to benefit the top clubs
corrupt refs
fixed draws
Overpaid primadonnas

Its shameful to watch.

A decade ago there was Barca Chelsea Madrid Bayern United all at a very good level, even Atletico were up there, Juve pretty close. The CL semis were absolute slog fests with two top teams. They weren’t training exercises.

Now there’s City Liverpool Chelsea and everyone else is a different shade of trash unless Modric and Benzema decide to turn it on.

I did look around and found this guy on the internet who said there was like 400 statistical anomalies with that season.

But he said he could not be bothered explaining any of them or giving any examples.

Good match this Higgins game, my bet is still riding on Trump at 6/1 anyway.

Loads on here love it though mate. Hate Everton, love modern football seems to be the order of the day for some on here.

 

[hallamblue]

In case somebody wonders what match fixing looks like.

Did he touch that? The ball can't go in from a throw in.

 

[gazzaa2]

He needed to have his ball carriers deeper and a real striker to battle up top.

Their main striker was injured (surprise surprise).
