Man United have been shit, but Chelsea since the turn of the year in the EPL have only been a few feet away from being equally as shitty, no match have been an easy one for Chelsea.. Anyways, the line up are out, Man United still have a semi solid lineup from what should have been expected, Amad, Bruno, Hojlund and Onana are all in the starting XI, while some other guys who have either not been available a lot this season but are also above average players on a good day like Shaw, Mount and Mazraoui also made the cut... The at least is better than what Tottenham have linedup for the match vs Aston Villa.

Lol That clown went all out; I guess he cares more about us losing our CL spot than the Europa League final.  Wasn't expecting him to risk Amad and Bruno in a non-important game like this.

Caciedo - You have one job tonight

It probably doesn't matter after all Chelsea with the lead, a hard fought lead after 70 minutes. I'm more surprised about the heavy minutes both players have played, Bruno played 82 minutes and Amad is still on the pitch into the stoppage time, lol. I guess that's what happened when Tottenham is your opponent for the UEL final, and not Real Madrid or Liverpool.

Not Caciedo, but cucurrela did it, how mind blowing is that?? One of the most underrated players in your club as a whole, bags a huge win without an equalizer even at the time of writing this post.

This isn't totally considered as an improvement yet for Chelsea, but it's an impressive win, especially since it was against their worst rivals in the premier League.
I'm wondering how much noise we'd have to bear today on this thread -- Botz has finally won a match!  

[notblox1]

Chelsea will smash United. Everything to play for, while United are clearly banking everything on Europa. Farcical teams, both of them but I need Chelsea to smash United and give them their worst finish in the Prem era. Amorim's going to quit, I think.

Poor 1:0 smashing, but I guess a win is a win  
Man United deserves nothing this season, but Tottenham is even worse and I dont know how they both managed to get into Europa League final.
If Premier League relegation included five teams instead of three than both of them would be in Championship next season, and I would enjoy watching that.

I really don't understand why he risk all his players in such non-important game to them, fair enough he got away with his gamble. Shows he's not even losing a sleep for the Europa league final - they're in a more better shape than Tottenham and no injury crisis too.

Dejan Kulusevski and Madddison won't be available for Tottenham I'm hearing - the shit keep getting shitter. Son deserves this title.

I wanted Caciedo to do something dirty for me, but happy all everything ended anyway. Another sick performance to forget in a hurry.

If there was anything that was sure in life it was that both Tottenham and Manchester United were going to lose. They are the last teams to stay in Premier League and seem like both want to make sure that stayed the same lol

I think for me the only shocking thing of all of it was that Chelsea ONLY scored 1 goal.

Spurs are almost guaranteed to lose, so many missing players. Yet the odds are not becoming worse, whats going on here?

[buwaytress]

If Palace win today, my day will be very, very made. Can't stand if City will still have a trophy after all their relative collapse. Not sure how it ends though, Henderson's kept them in the game but if they don't spend a bit more time in Ortega's box, it won't be easy on their backline.

They both absolutely deserve relegation, if you take into account the costs they have poured into their squads, and the lack of trying (well, for United at any rate). Spurs, well, you can put it two ways: bad luck with injuries (really very bad) or Ange's stubbornness -- but had they just had a bit of better luck with players available their style of play should have resulted in about 10 points (according to an xpoints stats I saw). It barely takes them out of the bottom quadrant but still...

Kulsusevski the biggest blow so far, I actually rate him. At least all the pressure should be on max-strength United, so hopefully they bottle it in Spain and hopefully local support is with Spurs. Between a headless United and a foolishly aggressive Spurs, I prefer the latter in Champions League. Remember even in September, they were amongst the most exciting teams in England with everyone available and fit. And you're right. Son deserves this. That guy has stopped smiling all year.

Both teams could lose if another Covid epidemic breaks out in Spain, just as Lewa lost the 2020 Ballon d'Or. lol  This is the year of underdogs - Spursy is taking this one home.

Man that 1 goal was enough - it was a close game.

Man, I wanted City for the sake of my sidebet with Bitcoingirl.club- shocking Halaand didn't take that PK. Pep needs to go man, the whole team looks shapeless. I prayed for days like this.

Lucky for them that three other clubs had worse results and they got relegated, we welcome them back in our Championship division.
Now that Crystal Palace won the FA Cup I can proudly say that underdogs can win sometimes and make their dreams a reality.
Man City sucks 

[slaman29]

So far all favorites winning, now Nottingham also ahead to get precious 3 points.

True enough, 1 goal or 5 goals, a win is only worth 3 points, and Chelsea really need it. I'm actually still kind of hoping Manchester City miss out totally on Champions League but I know it would take a big miracle for that to happen but if it does I think it would be a great season for English neutrals. They just need to lose to Bournemouth to give Nottingham hope if they get full points against West Ham.

Underdogs Newcastle and Crystal Palace already won the English cups. I would LOVE Tottenham to take Europa. Rooting for them!

I hope they finish in first five spots and go to Champions League next season as heavy underdog, but it is not going to be easy.
They are competing with Manchester City, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Newcastle and only three of them can go to Champions League.
Last round will decide everything and Man City have two more matches to play after they lost in FA Cup final.
Shame to see Newcastle losing against Arsenal

Haaland had nothing to go for. Couldn't possibly catch Salah, while Marmoush still needed to prove himself. But yeah, I always think it rather strange that a team doesn't know before-hand who takes a PK. Not usually good to ask a guy who isn't expecting it. I'm enjoying Citeh's situation too. We're getting a summer budget less than what Pep spent in January, and I'm enjoying it.

We'll definitely enjoy them all, personally want them to teach Wrexham some sound lessons heh.

ELO rankings show that 17 teams from Premier League are in the top 25 teams globally. Man United 25th best team in the world. Heh. It's an objective ranking too, so even if I find that hard to believe...

Huh 25th best team in the world? So who are the other 8 teams Bayern Munich, Leverkusen, Barca, Real Madrid, Napoli, Inter, Milan, PSG? I bet Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, Villareal, and Porto, Benfica plus Copenhagen I bet even PSV Atalanta, plus would tell you this stat is wrong

I think its the craziest among all the leagues left to decide on the final day.

3 spots left to fight for, and 5 teams capable of taking it. Newcastle just need 1 win I think they are confirmed. The same with Aston Villa and Chelsea but all 3 need a good GD, if Manchester City wins. Regarding Chelsea and Nottingham Forest, maybe they choose to draw, if somehow Manchester City lost and is losing while they are playing. You never know. But most likely situation is everybody is going to need to win, so it should be the best ever final day in Premier League, along with Serie A

Halaand has recently been playing as if he doesn't care; the robot we all know would never pass a penalty to another player in a final --I'm also wondering if he was removed as the first choice taker after missing the last key one.

Liverpool has begun signing their top choice players as early as usual, but our owners would rather wait till the deadline to bring us the shittiest players on the market.  Club without ambitions.

Do you think Chelsea can save your sidebet? I have no idea about this team Real Betis but it looks like there is a $315 bet from me for Real Betis to win or draw LOL

Just when I thought people play this game by checking bookie odds to make picks and to be proven wrong once gain is crazzzy.

How is it that 60% of the pool believe Liverpool will win this game, yet bookies had Brighton as favourites at odds of ~2.1  

At this point it's Bookies Vs the 60%, comeon Salah another one.

Well Liverpool at halftime now is leading 1-2. But as far as im watching the game Brighton is a much better team and had much more chances but Liverpool used their best chances and is leading. I think Brighton can score a few more goals for sure in this match. Will be intresting how it will end because Brighton is playing good

Brighton have been the better side, and it's not even close if you ask me, but football isn't always fair, and it's not always who plays better than that gets to win the game, if that was the case here, Brighton might have been up by at least a goal or two, they did all the probing... Liverpool have just been able to convert their chances better, but if we see the performance from both teams as we saw in the first half, I'd be surprised if Liverpool get's to walk away with all 3 points here.

The Liverpool second goal was on the run of play and it was a great strike from Szoblszlai, he would say he meant it, but I am not certain he did.

I was about to place a live bet when Liverpool were leading for a double chance on Brighton, but then they scored and the odds got adjusted, so I went with a draw.

- Jay -

As i expected Brighton turned this match around and won the match 3-2. They deserved this win with how good they played and could have scored a lot more goals. Liverpool missed a lot of good chances especially Salah when he missed the tap in,clear open goal and i couldnt believe he missed that chance.
