Ah right. Seeding or what?
RAWK Goes Into Meltdown 20-18/19 Edition
- Thread starter Pexbo
- Start date
Basically FA cup winner/5th placed team go to group stage and league cup winner go to 2nd qualifying round. If league cup winner finishes in top 5, that position goes to 6th placed team which is what will happen this year. If FA cup winner too is part of top 5, 5th and 6th get group stage, 7th goes to 2nd qualifying round (which is what happened to Burnley).
It can have couple other possibilities if team finishing 5th wins Europa. I guess in that case, both 6th/Fa cup winner(or 7th) goes to group stage, not sure.
So we may have to play Europa qualifying rounds but quite a few other things need to happen for that.

Has sent this one close to the edge I think - (not saying he doesn't have a point, mind)
And they've called us deluded & living off of past glories,
.To be fair, most of the stuff regarding the players and style of play really could come from a match day thread on here
Wanted us to win but I'm enjoying the meltdown.
Keep ‘em coming, la.
It's really efortless to hate those bunch of cnuts. Isn't it?
Not RAWK but plenty of arrogance and a side dish of delusion on show:
After the hilarity about their bitterness wears off and you delve a little further into posts like this above, I cannot believe anyone - anywhere - would want these pricks winning a title.
I can only get so erect.
Enjoy your hangover today, la.
The lack of self-awareness here is startling. Nothing about the totally undeserved ~10 points you lot have due to offside goals, goalkeeper howlers and general good fortune, no?
I think if Liverpool had won or drawn that then you'd be looking at another invincible's season and possibly 100+ points team. Most teams require a bit of luck through the season and I can see why they will point to that game if they don't win the league, it was a chance *IIR* to go 10 points clear or keep it at 7, instead it went down to 4 and they struggled for the rest of that month
All from the same deluded post:
You stinking liar!
You stinking liar!
Just like in 2008/09. And 2013/14. And 2017/18.
He ran out of steam at the end with Rashford there and just wrote the first thing he could think of to get it over and done with
It's going to be the mother of all meltdowns over there once City have won the league. They're going to lose the league having only been beaten once. It will be extremely difficult to motivate the players for next season. There's not much more they can do.
Probably on 97 points too
Other than waiting for Pep to leave to Serie A asap.
To be fair, what you quoted there seems depressingly accurate
I don't think Klopp can go another 2 seasons without winning the league. He also can't afford to try & wait out Pep. The problem they have is by the time Pep leaves in 2 years we should have our shit together. We will have a young hungry squad that doesn't have the battle scars. The only thing that can save them is City being given a transfer ban at the end of the season & then investing heavily themselves.
If he gets pipped or pepped to the title whilst amassing 90+ points, you surely can't blame Klopp.
They've had an incredible season. I hate to admit that as much as anyone, but have some perspective.
In my opinion, Klopp will stay at Liverpool for as long as he wants to.
Had a look on their site, and was astounded to see posters talking about how there's "no reason" they won't get 90-97 points next season!
And then talking about how they and City will again be miles ahead of everyone else.
Incredible really.
It's like they honestly don't accept that Pickford, Aldy, The Palace keeper basically throwing games in the last min, or Mahrez missing that pen, or playing us away, with us having streams of injuries MAY, just may have artificially kept their points super high as a one off.
Versus City, who have had Aguero alone out, more than their front 3, and then De Bruyne out for most of the season. Mendy as well, but we'll allow that versus Gomez perhaps.
They're relying on no injuries, the same peak form, no waves of luck, VAR not impacting their pens and offsides, and not much improvement from those below.
That's quite a few things to go their way again!

He already has quite the catalogue of finishing runner up. 3 cup finals lost at Liverpool alone. They can try and paint this as progress, or the first go in many, but you can't be the nearly man forever.
I take issue with the perch thing as well. The perch is having 20 titles the most of any English club. They need 3 titles to knock us off that perch
There'll be something delicious about them losing a title with a record points tally. Marvellous it'll be.

The grammar, dear god it's horrendous. I can cope with the odd there, their and they're, but the entire post is riddled with dumbassery.
Add to that the sheer delusional sense of grandeur and you've got everything I've hated about them since I was 6 years old
Klopp has done a fantastic job. It's likely he will take the league to the last day of the season. When you compare the spending of the 2 teams & the fact that he has had to sell his best player to fund his big transfers it's an incredible achievement. The way this season will likely end will be incredibly demoralizing for Klopp & his squad though. It's more likely that they will be further off City next season. Pep won't like how close it's been this season so will spend huge again in the Summer on top of what is already the best squad in the league. Klopp will be lucky to have half of Pep's budget to work with.
They have failed to contend for the title in consecutive seasons for the whole of the PL era. If City keep spending they will likely win the league quite comfortably for the remainder of Pep's tenure. Liverpool are more likely to become part of the also-rans than title challengers.
Let's hope so!
It's the complete disregard to anyone currently below them improving that gets me.
Tottenham didn't spend a penny, Chelsea and Arsenal have managers in their first season, and we've had a right arse of a season, and will go heavily in the summer too.
If nothing else, there's nothing to say they'll either lose just one game again next year, or be so much better than the rest.
They reckon they actually have room for improvement some how!
You see something new every time etc
I see their point in some ways. Little room for improvement from 3 teams. Arsenal won't be spending much money & will be competing for their perennial top 4 trophy. Chelsea are losing their best player & probably hiring a new manager. Spurs have the stadium to pay for so little money to improve a thin squad. We will spend a bit & improve to a comfortable top 4 finish. I think Liverpool will finish runners up next season by a 9 - 12 pt margin.
Teams can rise and drop by a few places. It happens many a season.
We came 2nd last season, and have dropped massively.
City came 4th a few years ago, and were back competing the next season.
It's not as set in stone as some think.
City had a manager with a plan, and money and structure to support the manager. United have a manager with a plan perhaps, but how confident are we about the rest?
With our recent seasons, not at all.
It'll be a fun summer though. I get the feeling Ole is very soon going to play the "No more Mr Nice guy act", and start booting a few players out.
How about you guys bring those discussions to the Liverpool and Klopp threads, and keep this for having fun with RAWK?
@marukomu help

From a neutral perspective i think so too. Right now the Premier League feels like La Liga, with 2 outstanding teams dominating the league completely (as expected from Klopp and Guardiola).
