Also English teams pay a premium for English players for god knows why
homegrown player quotas which were brought in by the FA in order to strengthen the English national team
you can only have 17 foreign players in a PL squad. If you want to register a 25 man squad for the league, you need a minimum of 8 players who spent 3+ years in England/the Welsh teams who play in English leagues before their 21st birthday
for UEFA competitions, you can only have 17 foreign players and if you want a squad of 25 you need to pad it out with 4 home grown players and 4 players from your youth system
if team X inquires about team Y's home grown player, it's very easy for Y to look at X's team and go "well they need another HG player to meet the quota and there isn't exactly an abundance of home grown talent in that position, we can add 20 million to the price because it's not like they can just pick up a young Bundesliga talent for a fraction of the cost"
Yes, if “it” is absurd pre-tournament over-hyping of a team followed by under achievement
Six matches left, three of them against the top three clubs, with the last one at Anfield. We also have Norwich, Burnley and Brighton, so maybe we can grab ten points or so if we're good, which might nab a lower European place? I dunno.
It'd be funny if we fucked Liverpool's chances of winning the league on the last day, though.

Could happen they are due a bad performance at some point and Wolves deffo can take advantage. Think the title race might be decided by then if Spurs beat liverpool though.

It looks like a lot of things could go down to the last game. The next few weeks could be very interesting...

I mean, with all that they had possession at Liverpool's end at the end of the half, one lucky touch or deflection in the same spot in the second half and it's a smash and grab.

the shithousery is essential with how much Atwell is fucking it
Fabinho should be booked and Everton should have had a penalty but I guess he’s afraid of Anfield yelling at him

I don't get why they made that change, to be honest.
I guess they feel that teams having to go to extra time to get a definitive winner is better for the spectacle, but I prefer the away goals rule and the batshit insane all out attack it'd encourage.

An MLS team has never won the CONCACAF Champions League.
Seattle fought back to a 2-2 draw at Pumas in the first leg of the final. Second leg in Seattle will be lit.
That was a weird game. 3 penalties: 1 real soft, 1 questionable if VAR should have called a foul in the lead-up play to the penalty, and 1 legit penalty.

Lol at all the "you lost part of your customer base for a joke". OMG, is just your football team losing, get over yourselves.
Sports is srsbsns.

i like the one guy who was like "advertising should stay on neutral topics"
yes, advertising, that famously non-controversial field

I’m sure that’ll help his concentration next match.
Burnley won, meaning they’re a point behind Everton.
Everton’s next match is Liverpool, on Sunday, and Burnley play Wolves 2 hours earlier.
So if Burnley win, Everton will be in the relegation zone at the start of the match. A draw will also do, on goal difference.
I hope Liverpool smash Everton. I think 3-0 or 4-0 is very plausible.
Roll on Sunday.
Love it
fuck me, just awful
Though this probably equates to about 20 minutes thanks to Everton's epic shithousery and time wasting.
Derby gonna derby, don't let the relegation door hit ya on the way out
Everton are really playing like they’re mid-table, and are just fucking with Liverpool out of spite.
Have…they not been told they’re now in the relegation zone ?
Fabinho should be booked and Everton should have had a penalty but I guess he’s afraid of Anfield yelling at him
The ref allowed play to go on, so I assume he knew he was faking.
Then why not book him ?
He spent a good 2-3 minutes lying there, holding his leg and head, while players awkwardly played on, not knowing if they should stop.
he was injured, the ref just didn’t do anything about it because he fucked it
The top photo looks like it’s been edited - his foot is basically turned 90 degrees.
And he got back up ok after it all kicked off.
It’s not, he rolled his ankle which is why he was down injured. He got back up after getting treatment for several minutes.
Jamie Carragher even admitted to being wrong about Richarlison on air after he saw the replay.
Don't think away goals are in play anymore.

And I have a couple of quid on Chelsea beating them tomorrow.
So far I have £70 in my Ladbrokes account, waiting to be spent on drinks watching FA Cup final in 2 weeks.
The only thing making Saturday overtime bearable (apart from the money) is the football after it’s done.
Might they survive after all?
They have Leicester next, right ?
That should be interesting.
I think it'll come down to the final day.
Everton(32 pts, -20 goal diff) has
Leicester, Watford, Brentford, Palace, Arsenal
Burnley(34 pts, 15 goal diff) has
Villa, Totenham, Villa, Newcastle
Leeds(34 pts, -34 goal diff) has
Arsenal, Chelsea, Brighton, Brentford
So Leeds has the hardest path there imo. But Everton needs to play 5 games in a 15 day period.
