Tywin et al. Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 14 minutes ago, BigFatCoward said: I'm not sure cycling is corrupt, more inept. Tomorrow the second biggest race of the year starts. And they have just realised the penultimate stage, which potentially could decide the overall winner, goes up a road that is too narrow. Wasn't there a year where they had to give the fourth place finisher in the Tour de France because all three on the podium were busted? And to be fair, I have zero issues with doping in that sport because Idk how you can complete the race and season otherwise. I regularly bike 50 miles on flat surfaces and feel like I can't walk for the rest of the day. 3 minutes ago, A Horse Named Stranger said: That's horsist. Stop painting horses as drug addicts. Maybe Equinophobia is the better term here. And your kind is more a victim of forced drugging than being drug addicts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse Named Stranger Posted May 5 Author Share Posted May 5 (edited) Meanwhile in the Bundesliga, I think I might have to revise my prediction about who is going down from a few weeks ago. I thought Schalke and Hertha would drop directly, with Stuttgart escaping in the play-offs. Hertha still look like prime contenders to go down, but Schalke might actually escape. They got the back-to-back wins against Werder and Mainz, however, those were probably their last points for the season, as their run in looks rather rough on paper. (Bayern (a), Frankfurt (h), RedBull (a)) Bochum's run in is a bit kinder (Gladbach (a), Augsburg (h), Hertha (a), Leverkusen (h)), Augsburg and Hertha will likely be the crucial games in their run in. Hertha's run in is kinda benign, but they are so awful and effectively 7 points adrift. (Stuttgart (h), Köln (a), Bochum (h), Wolfsburg (a)). So even their schedule shouldn't save them. They more or less have to win games to have any hope whatsoever, and Stutgart is a must-win game. If they lose that, it's already light's out. Stuttgart's run in is kinda neutral. (Hertha (a), Leverkusen (h), Mainz (a), Hoffenheim (h)). Hertha is doable, Mainz they probably would rather play at home. Final matchday against Hoffenheim could be the game that decides who can save themself directly, and who has to go into the play-off games. For the sake completion Hoffenheim's run in. (Frankfurt (h), Wolfsburg (a), Union (h), Stuttgart (a)). Sidenote, Hoffenheim is coached by Matarazzo, who was dismissed by Stuttgart earlier. Stuttgart have in the meantime parted ways, his successor, Labbadia, and are with Hoeneß now on their thrid managerial appointment. Almost forgot, Augsburg is also another candidate that could drop (in theory at least). Their run in (Union (h), Bochum (a), Dortmund (h), Gladbach (a)). They should be able collect a few points here and there, and like I said, Schalke will probably not find another point and since Schalke GD is so bad, they effectively have to gain win two points over Augsburg. I won't bother with Bremen's schedule, as they've sufficient breathing room and really shouldn't be in danger anymore. Below the current standings in the relegation battle. Club GP W D L Goals GD Points Werder Bremen (N) 30 10 5 15 48:58 -10 35 FC Augsburg 30 8 7 15 39:55 -16 31 FC Schalke 04 (N) 31 7 9 15 31:59 -28 30 TSG Hoffenheim 30 8 5 17 39:51 -12 29 VfB Stuttgart 30 6 10 14 38:52 -14 28 VfL Bochum 30 8 4 18 33:67 -34 28 Hertha BSC 30 5 7 18 35:61 -26 22 Edited May 5 by A Horse Named Stranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won a match!!! Can't even be bothered to watch the rest of this dumpster fire of a season. Also, when did City pass Arsenal? You jerks had one job. Stop getting draws. And that goes double for you, Liverpool and Spurs. Don't let those Newcastle bastards stay in the top four. Time is running out. 1 hour ago, ljkeane said: City are really fucking my fantasy team with this shit. I have to confess, as someone who is pretty good at NFL FF, I still have no idea how this one even works and always finish last or close to it when I try. Forwards and goalies are easy to figure out, but the hell do you do with the other 7-8 players? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I suspect we’re absolutely battering Brentford on the xg front here but if we don’t take one of those chances they look dangerous enough that we might regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, managed to scrape by in the end. That midfield is dire though. Absolutely no control. If it wasn't for Salah and Allisson , we'd probably be where Chelsea are at the moment. Nunez had a horrible game. What a pass from TAA though. Edited May 6 by AncalagonTheBlack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the midfield was completely irrelevant to be honest. It was Brentford bypassing the midfield and us struggling with Toney that was the problem.

A Horse Named Stranger Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 Manchester United is somewhat more likely to drop out of top four than Newcastle. And that would take an incredibly unlikely turn of events. Had they dropped points against Villa, they'd have real reasons to worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 The fact that Chelsea scored the most goals out of any team that played today. The coronation really screwed up people, didn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
