And Leeds get a late goal to keep them up. Burnley, a great run for them in the EPL, are headed down.

Here’s the danger now: Liverpool will finish the season with fewer defeats in all competitions than digits on my hand, and could have only two domestic cups to show for it.

points deduction for that pitch invasion!

So glad I became a neutral after Wenger's exit, and FPL has really made the last two seasons fun to pull me back in

really sucked to seek Burnley go down, thought they played their hearts out more than Leeds

see everyone in 12 weeks

I would have thought EA Sports would already have had a rendered crowd ready. Dunno why they needed the extra time.

Kulu curls in a beautiful goal minutes after a spectacular fuck-up that cost him an easy goal.
I think, on the one he muffed, he saw Son and wanted to try to get him the ball instead of just drilling it.

First thing I thought of as City / Villa went FT.

I was not ready to get hurt again - but I also never believed Villa would hold off City.

win next week please
I’m fairly certain City and Everton fans got together today and finally agreed that the Rodri situation was a good non call of handball

A little recognition is due for Milan, who won their first scudetto in 11 years and did it without a big time goal scorer and the fifth highest wage bill in Serie A. Their entire management team - Gazidis, Maldini, Massara, Pioli - doesn't get enough credit for taking a total mess of a club and turning them into league winners the hard way, building successfully around youth and being willing to stick to their guns and let key players walk on frees rather than disrupting their financial model.

And doing it in a season where their main rivals, Inter, had an incredibly large number of, shall we say, "fortunate" calls go their way. That campaign would have seriously stunk if the Nerazurri were on top.

There is a lot of wham on Everton Twitter of blues joshing their red friends about this. But at the time it was most definitely not funny. Everton deserved at least a point out of that game. At halftime City had the lowest xG of any half of football they'd played that season and it wasn't just a run of the mill bus-parking - Toffees were playing as well as I've seen them in recent memory. Of course City eventually turned it on as Everton tired but still got nothing except a deflection. If that penalty is given Everton get at least a point and maybe all three.

I mean if it's so freakin' bad that PGMOL has to apologize after the game....

It's easy to laugh about it now but that could have been the difference in staying up.

And was the difference in the title.

I mentioned this in another thread last week. Hugely impressive feat from AC and the rest of Europe is on notice about a potential resurgence. FML.

And doing it in a season where their main rivals, Inter, had an incredibly large number of, shall we say, "fortunate" calls go their way. That campaign would have seriously stunk if the Nerazurri were on top.
I hadn't heard anything about this, but I don't follow Serie A that closely. I'm just bummed AC beat out Inter.

Remind me what other Holidays take a 7 year hiatus?

Sorry, did I miss an error so egregious PMGOL apologized?
Ha! A team like Palace getting an apology? Against Liverpool/Klopp?

(Edit: Not to mention Firmino was offside on the 2nd goal that game. That was the game that pretty much moved me into the anti-VAR camp, at least for the PL, which clearly can't handle it.)
