It was peak trolling by Fergie.I will never forget Dong Fangzhuo, Chris Eagles, and Kieran Lee getting a guard of honor from the Chelsea players. Hilarious moment.

Unbelievable. How can they watch them and not see that’s how they roll.The commentators begging for Liverpool to kick it long, just for a change
YEEEEEET!!!The commentators begging for Liverpool to kick it long, just for a change
We didn't let him go. He refused to sign a new contract as he didn't see a pathway to the first team. And looking at the profile of a "Mourinho midfielder" I can't blame him.Angel Gomes makes so much sense as a cheap signing. I'd have never let him go. He would offer us competition for Mainoo, while providing a similar skill set so there wouldn't be a complete drop off tactically or stylistically should he be unavailable. Never seems to be linked with us or anyone else for that matter.
Yup, in a massive way.Referee has done a job for Leverkusen tonight when they were struggling.
5th place making CL is very, very likely, but it would be foolish to just blow off fourth place. Especially since there's 1.5 weeks between Leverkusen and PSG. I also think Dortmund have to take this seriously for their confidence, they haven't built the kind of momentum where you can just shrug off a defeat, because you know you're better than that.Will be interesting... last week I would have said it's a hugely important match for Dortmund while it doesn't matter for Leverkusen. But now it looks like the BL gets the 5th CL spot so Dortmund is quite save in 5th (14 points lead over 6th with five matches to go). So both teams might care more for the CL/EL now instead of the league not just Leverkusen.

How so?Yup, in a massive way.
There were one or two scenes while I watched (didn't have time for the whole match) where he should have given a free kick to West Ham. Besides that he simply was an insecure prick who didn't really control the match.How so?
One of my most disliked players on the planet.Di Maria misses his pen for Benfica
And this should never have been allowed to happen. Such a talented player.he didn't see a pathway to the first team.
The referee may as well have pulled on a Leverkusen jersey. He allowed the west ham frontline to be fouled time after time which they responded to well for a while but grew frustrated and argumentative towards the last 20 or 25 minutes, I honestly don't know how they kept their cool so long. There was more but that was what decided the game for the most part I think.How so?
He's a twatI just switched over to watch the penalties, excellent timing with Di Maria missing.
It was inevitable once Maureen was appointed, he isn't a manager known for promoting youth players, it's why I and a lot of other folks never wanted him near the clubAnd this should never have been allowed to happen. Such a talented player.
Spanish ref. Duh.Besides that he simply was an insecure prick who didn't really control the match.

Debatable. You can't claim the PL to be this uber-physical league and then cry foul for each of these situations (a few yes, but far from all).Spanish ref. Duh.
Gotchya
They only won two major trophies in their history before this season.I really start to believe that Leverkusen has a chance of achieving an unbeaten "small" treble season. This would still be an amazing achievement.
Bit of a weird take when he left the club 18 months after Jose was fired, technically this was on Ole although to be fair I am not sure what more could have been done. To be fair he is a decent player, and certainly better than the likes of Amrabat, but Mainoo is already better and Gomes would have been no more than a squad player for us even if he had stuck around. He was given games in his final season here but he never seemed to be even close to signing a new contract and his comments at the time seemed to suggest he felt he should have been guaranteed a starting role before he would even consider staying.We didn't let him go. He refused to sign a new contract as he didn't see a pathway to the first team. And looking at the profile of a "Mourinho midfielder" I can't blame him.
I have been FIFA all along
I’d have preferred for them to make the final then lose to LeverkusenAlso interesting to see Benfica's European curse continues. Must suck for their fans.
This raises a very important question - has any team had a season in which they remained unbeaten in all competitions?Why do you feckers want Leverkusen to lose? This is a once in a lifetime achievement. Hope they remain unbeaten all season.
