Spurs win the Europa League final to get their first major trophy in 17 years.

Normally I wouldn't care but the losing team is Man United so now it's just funny.
 
I'm happy for Son. Him and Kane winning both their first club titles this season is bit wholesome and I need this bc modern football sucks.

Mate, it's United.
 
Do you think United relegation could happen in something like 10 years or less? Or do"big" clubs have it guaranteed to be safe forever

It's certainly possible, if they get stuck in a PSR death spiral where they can't afford to fix the team. The main issue is for them to be relegated requires not just United being catastrophically bad, but the other teams being less so. I mean look at this season, which went about as bad as it could get for United and despite that they're what 15pts off relegation still?

So long as Championship promoted clubs like Southampton are as dogshit as they were this season, "big' clubs are probably safe.

So its been about 2 years now where clubs have gone up and come back down. Fulham, Bournemouth, and Nottingham Forest came up in the 22/23 season and survived. Leicester, Leeds, and Southampton were relegated that year and that's it. So when you think about it, thats 2 years of premier league revenue for 17 clubs while Leeds have had 2 years of Championship revenue, Burnley had a year of Championship revenue, and either Sheffield United (with one year of Championship revenue) or Sunderland (with no premier league money) will be the ones competing next year in the premier league. They financially are at a much bigger disadvantage than ever before. So these 3 clubs are basically left with the choice of 1) take the money and restructure the club so you can be in a better financial position next year or 2) mortgage your future to try and survive. It doesn't look like these 17 are going to get relegated for a while, unless points penalties come into play or someone acts extremely retarded
 
Astonishing that all those investment fuckers who ruin sports for a living never figured out, that sporting success will bring financial success in the mid- and long run. They always treat it like a normal company, cost-cutting until it's profitable.
But they have to make all the money immediately without putting in any effort, shame that people are losing their jobs over this kind of bullshit.
 
Alright time for year end awards (because I will be away this weekend drinking and watching the final day) so here is my EPL awards

Manager of the season- Arne Slott (Liverpool)
Really had a tough time between Arne Slott, Andoni Iraola, Thomas Frank, Enzo Maresca, Nuno Santo, and Vitor Pereira so I took the easy way out with this tie breaker and just picked the guy who won everything

Player of the season- Mohammed Salah
Van Dijk was the more important player for Liverpool but this seems like more of a stat award and Salah played out of his mind this season with goals and assists.

Team of the season- going with a 4-3-3

Justin Kluivert (Bournemouth) Alex Isak (Newcastle) Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Declan Rice (Arsenal) Sandro Tonali (Newcastle)

Ryan Gravenberch (Liverpool)

Antonee Robinson (Fulham) Virgil Van Dijk (Liverpool) Nikola Milenkovic (Nottingham Forest) Daniel Munoz (Crystal Palace)



David Raya (Arsenal)



On my bench
Matz Sels (GK Nottingham Forest)
William Saliba (CB Arsenal)
Alexis Mac Allister (CM Liverpool)
Dominik Szoboszlai (CM Liverpool)
Bukayo Saka (Fwd Arsenal)
Bryan Mbuemo (Fwd Brentford)
Chris Wood (CF Nottingham Forest)



Notable absent from my list that I think deserve a shout
-Alisson (GK Liverpool)
-Dean Henderson (GK Crystal Palace)
-Gabriel (CB Arsenal)
-Dan Burn (CB Newcastle)
-Murillo (CB Nottingham Forest)
-Trent Alexander-Arnold (RB Liverpool)
-Bruno Guimaraes (CM Newcastle)
-Morgan Gibbs-White (CM Nottingham Forest)
-Morgan Rogers (CM Aston Villa)
-Cole Palmer (Fwd Chelsea)
-Anthony Gordon (Fwd Newcastle)
-Erling Haaland (CF Man City)
-Ollie Watkins (CF Aston Villa)



Feel free to do this with any league and champions league if you want
 
Reports are now that Florian Wirtz is going to join Liverpool , fee allegedly around 150 millions.

Edit: Napoli are champs again. The Champions League final was already going to be wild but now we are in for an even wilder ride bc you know Inter will throw everything and more at P$G to win. It's Inter's 2nd final within a few years and they lost the first one and now have missed the league title while P$G can do the double and the squad can write history. Actually very hyped for the match.

Napoli champions, Newcastle trophy, Spurs trophy, Crystal Palace trophy, Go Ahead Eagles trophy, Kane trophy, Arsenal trophyless, Man City trophyless, Ajax bottling, Man Utd trophyless and not in Europe, Nottingham Forest in Europe, Newcastle in Europe, Villa in Europe. Sorry guys, but it's the best season in decades.
 
Sttugart won the DFB cup final against Bielefeld 4:2. After 29 minutes it was already 3:0. A bit disappointing after Bielefeld kicked out Hannover (2nd league), Union Berlin, Freiburg, Bremen and Leverkusen (all Bundesliga) but alas.

It's Stuttgarts 4th cup win and guess Bundesliga will be better represented by them in Euro League than by a 2nd tier club. But it would have been funny see Bielefeld playing internationally. It is what it is.
