Bayern have been great since the restart. I might check to see if there are any good odds on them winning the Champions League!

 

Two weeks after restart and the Bundesliga title is becoming a non-contest again.

 

We actually have been great since Flick took over. We only lost 2 games under him, against Gladbach and Leverkusen, and even in those 2 games we had like 20 chances each and just were not able to convert them.

I had really high hopes for the Champions League this year even before Corona. because especially in the CL games we were really focused and dominated the opponents in most games. It's not that we were clear favorites or something but we looked like a serious contender. And now after the restart we do so even more. But it surely all depends on if and when and how the CL is resumed.

 

Who are the rumored favorites for Sancho? Is it United?

 

I think so, but at this point United (and Madrid) are probably the only two that can afford him in a post-COVID world. Can't see many others spending £150 million this summer.

 

After The Last Dance, bring on the Spurs doc - five things we hope to see

Amazon couldn’t have gotten luckier with their choice for this season of their doc series.

 

I know Liverpool are walking the PL title, but I really wish someone other than Bayern would win the Bundesliga. It's just boring at this point, but not their fault. They're just better, and the only team who could possibly compete just don't show up in big moments.

 

So what's up with City's ban? Does 5th place get in CL?

 

CAS hearing is in the next two weeks with another 2-3 weeks for decision. So nothing new as of now.

 

I would expect it to be upheld though, as a one year ban rather than two in order to compromise

 

The race for 5th is gonna be wild

 

let em play both years but the fine is whatever the $$$ would be in each year.

 

No. They broke the rules they should face the consequences.

 

I don't really want to do this back and forth but UEFA are just as corrupt. Collect your money and pass go.

 

I don’t think the UEFA is as corrupt as Saudi Money City

 

It’s mad that a club can blatantly cheat and still have people defending that cheating.

 

I originally posted a really snarky comment here but I deleted it. You all know my feelings and I don't want to contribute to a negative atmosphere here.

Still hope they get banned though but it's not the biggest issue in the world right now.

 

There's no point in fining a club who have essentially infinite money. That was the whole problem in the first place. Boot them out for a year and let them whine as much as they like.

 

Newcastle?

 

If y’all need some wholesome content, I highly recommend following Iniesta on Instagram. It’s like 90% cute dad content that makes you forget he’s one of the best ever to play the game.

 

Milinkovic's injured for Lazio. That's another title race down the pan.

 

This is the most likely outcome. Not guilty in the court but guilty in public opinion.
