Language is dynamic. The word "nice" comes from the Latin 'nescius,' meaning 'ignorant.' Over the centuries, 'nice' has transformed in meaning through stages like 'foolish' and 'delicate' to its current meaning of 'pleasant' or 'agreeable.' The meaning of a word derives from its use not from...

I'm not sure what you are getting at with this whole point tbh. Are you compaining about the term? Just because Dortmund had a bit of luck with the draw doesn't mean they are now better than the top EPL sides. I'm German, but I stopped watching Bundesliga many years ago, as it was just too...

Obviously this whole "x"Anything should always be taken with a grain of salt, but I didn't know United are only ahead of Sheffield, Luton, Burnley and Wolves in expected points (xPTS) this season according to unterstat: https://understat.com/league/EPL Even accounting for the debatable margins...

Chelsea did it in 2020/21, finishing 4th, two points ahead of West Ham in 6th. And in 2011/12 they had even won it as 6th placed team in EPL. The day Roberto di Matteo would crown himself a Champions League winning manager only to never being heard about ever again.

It's actually possible for countries to have seven teams in CL at once now. If the country is among the TOP2 for the current seasons coefficient and already has 4 CL that takes them to 5 spots. If two teams of that league finish outside of top 5 in that league and go on to win both CL and EL...

Have you met Austrians who do not speak German? I mean they talk funny and it's hard to understand them, but still. :D

He will leave a marketing plaything in a second tier league to join the most successful and biggest club in the world. That’s the end of that story, pretty much.

It’s pretty crazy that Barca are fielding a 16yo and a 17yo (at Centre back) in a Champions league quarter final away against PSG. Especially considering the names and experience they have sitting on the bench. And they lead deservedly.

Bottom line is, the market makes the value. You’re not getting Robertson for 8m if all the top teams are bidding for him because he’s „among the very best in the league“ already and on the top of the list of any scout. Hull City and the player agent won’t sit there and say oh dozens of scouts...

This is a classic hindsight post. I’ll give you VVD but Mané and Robertson where not among the best in the league, Robertson wasn’t even in the league he was in the Championship before he joined Liverpool. And look at the Mané thread on the Caf before he joined Liverpool as he was rumored with a...

It's the Dailymail, but still - one can imagine that such a 'tax' would be an incredible opportunity to fill people's pockets left, right and centre: Premier League eyeing ABOLISHING points deductions and introducing an NBA-style 'luxury tax' over fears top stars will leave if rules restrict...

If somebody unfamiliar with the league and the teams watched this he’d think Brentford are the ones fighting for a win and UCL football and United the ones fighting for a draw to stay in EPL, not the other way around.

Abysmal performance, this.

I think some people can’t separate their emotions of hoping and expecting. If you’re against the odds you can expect the probable but still hope or thrive for the best. It’s not only a more enjoyable attitude when following football teams but in life in general. Just because you’ve been...

Don’t get the pessimists saying 0-3. The team played 0-0 at Anfield after playing Bayern midweek in December. Why would anyone not expect them to make it a close game at home in a knockout tie after a full week of recovery and preparation. Yes, Liverpool are the better side, but I’m fairly...
