They got lucky yesterday to win at the end, but you’d have to say Flick has had a brilliant effect on Bayern generally. At full strength they’re looking very fluid going forwards. Not sure if they’ll win the big prize at the end of the season (the Champions League, not the fallen Madonna with the big boobies!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerrumonside ref Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Ja! Ja! Ja! VfB Stuttgart totally fluffed their lines against Karlsruhe today and lost 2-1. This means Hamburg stay in second in Bundesliga 2. in the automatic promotion spot. Stuttgart were heavy favourites today and the battle for promotion goes on with three games left with Hamburg one point clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerjon Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 BT Sport appear to have added the Turkish League to their schedule. Currently I have Besiktas versus a team who aren’t Besiktas on in the background. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Yes and this season it looks unlikely that any of the big three (Galatasaray, Besiktas or Fenerbahce) will win the Super Lig in Turkey with 7 games left. Currently Istanbul Basaksehir and Trabzonspor are tied at the top on 56 points with Galatasaray in third on 50pts. In two weeks time, Istanbul Basaksehir play Galatasaray in a massive game that I assume BT Sport will show live (they say they’re showing up to 3 games a week).

HawkMan Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) With the Premier League back thought I'd give my predictions on top and bottom. Top Four; 1 Liverpool , 2 Man City, 3 Chelsea, 4 Man U. Sorry no Leicester Relegated Norwich, Bournemouth and Brighton. Promoted, Leeds, West Brom and Fulham and Brentford in an all London play off final. Like to see Brentford go up.

You’d think the packed schedule will favour the teams with the stronger squads even more than usual, so it’s not a bad shout. The Championship is really interesting particularly the battle for the automatic spots where Fulham seem to have the toughest run in. I can see the playoff places coming down to the last day too with so many in the mix. My prediction: 1st Liverpool (Champions) 2nd Man City 3rd Man Utd 4th Leicester City ———————- 18th AFC Bournemouth 19th Brighton & Hove Albion 20th Norwich City Championship: 1st Leeds Utd 2nd West Bromwich Albion 3rd Brentford 4th Nottingham Forest 5th Fulham 6th Blackburn Rovers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I’d like to see Leeds promoted . They bombed out last year but they’re a club that should be in the PL . West Brom I’m not fussed , they just go up and down . Brentford would be a great achievement , they get players took , managers took but still hang in there and play good football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiltshire Rhino Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) One thing I have *noticed during these lockdown games is it seems the home sides aren't getting all of the same decisions they used to as fans are, obviously, unable to "influence" the ref at the moment. *I have no idea if this is true but it feels that way.

Bleep1673 Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 Villa played the last Premiership game before lockdown, and will have the "honour" of playing the first after it. I just hope it goes better than the 0-4 last game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re saying if you take the German football for example that the home advantage is not as pronounced as normal probably for the reasons you give. Also the ball is in play longer now. Admittedly it’s a small sample size for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleep1673 Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 S41t, another awful performance by Villa when will they learn, they should have sacked Smith in January put a decent manager in place, and saved the club from relegation. Smith can't do anything now, Villa can't score, can't defend, and are about as bad as they ever were, nearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-deserved and, let's face it, about time they delivered on the promise from all those nearly years.

DavidM Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 That Man City team stacked with talent has under achieved this year , 8 losses already . You look at what they did last year . Liverpool have carried that on but City have been way off .

I take nothing away from Liverpool , I said that - I give them credit . Man City may not have won anyway but it’s indisputable they fell away this year to make the margin so big . They’ve underachieved on the levels theyve been at in the Prem . They got 198 points in two seasons . That’s all .
