    Wish I can fast forward this season lol. I knew the results were gonna return to the mean at some point with Solari's tenure, he was miserable as the Castilla manager and these results might be a common sight. I'm more disappointed we're still having World Cup hangover this late into November, I'm all for sacrificing this season just so the kids play and gain experience. Will be a busy summer hopefully.

    Bayern have an aging squad and their recruitment in recent seasons has been poor, maybe Gnabry might turn out well but it's a very broken roster and a manager that can't handle the veterans in that locker room. Barcelona have problems of their own but it's been handled better since they had a good summer transfer window.

    For all the other clubs that are trying to pass that UCL threshold (City, Liverpool, Juve) this is the season they better take advantage the 3 dominant teams of this decade look more mortal.

    I'm honestly happy that bayern has a meh season because its one of the reasons Ajax has a huge chance to proceed in CL. Tuesday a draw against AEK (or benfica not winning in München) and we're thru. Amazing!

    But yeah madrid is very dissappointing this season... also Chelsea... Schalke.. Inter..all my favorite teams (except Ajax) are doing pretty bad this year :emoji_slight_frown:

    No words for this s---. I saw many games in all 4 corners of Europe but nothing like this.

    Tomorrow the game should be on close doors no supporters for either side. What happened was f---in disgusting.

    I hope to never see Bale in a Real Madrid shirt after the end of this season. He can really f--- off.

    Happy for Luka, glad the hegemony came to an end.

    Any of y'all catch the wild BPL games from yesterday? North London Derby was insane, Arsenal making great strides meanwhile Spurs got caught in a tough schedule (their failure to recruit in the Summer is coming back to haunt them again). The Merseyside one was chaos, can't believe the ball hit the f---ing crossbar twice before it fell to Origi I've never seen that before.

    Havent taken this awards seriously the last 5-6 years, who is the best is subjective, it depends on what you look at. And also Mbappe is the most overrated player atm, great player and talent but to even be named in top 10 is laughable

    Also, these prizes are based on trophies, not on individual players stats etc

    For years Arsenal have been my least favourite team but recently it has switched to Tottenham. Watching that game was glorious!

    In the Chelsea v Fulham game (technically a rivalry lol) Ruben Loftus-Cheek was on fire again. Sarri really needs to play him more, start him against Man City. Scored 5 in his last 6.

    Yeah he really should be getting more chances since Kovacic has been a bit ineffective at being the ball-carrier in Sarri's system, I liked him a lot when he was loaned at Crystal Palace and he has all the attributes to be another great English no.8 along with Barkley.

    I'm curious about the ripple effect if Hazard were to leave this upcoming summer, luckily there are so many hybrid forwards out there that could develop in this new project--granted talents like Eden are far few in-between. Sarri just needs depth to keep his players fresh so they can press every game, that's been the problem with his Napoli sides that ran out of gas and hopefully he averts it since the race for 3rd and 4th is gonna be tight between the London clubs.
