Distant second.

Seeing as how the Cheatiest Cheaters that ever Cheated pipped Liverpool out of a few Championships by 1 point I wont shed any tears about seeing the Cheaty Cheaters 20 points in our rearview mirror.

If they miss top five and Spurs win the EL to get into Champions League it might be the greatest possible thing to happen. Like even non-Spurs supporters have to see the comedy in that!

I don’t actually think it’s happening, of course, but it would be hilarious.

That would be hilarious.

Kind of like my dream of Liverpool winning the League and Everton being relegated.

One day....one day...

United fielding the third youngest starting XI in PL history today. Correct decision by Amorim, I wouldn't have minded even more youngsters tbh.

Its kind of a sad reflection upon the end of a season, but yeah, nobody cares anymore.

Trent Alexander-Arnold opts to leave Liverpool at the end of the season.

“I want to say it’s not an easy decision and there’s a lot of thought and feeling that has gone into it. I’ve been here 20 years now, loved every single minute of it, achieved all my dreams, achieved everything I’ve ever wanted to here.”

Bummer.

I think that one has been in the works for a couple of years now, but sucks to see it confirmed. Madrid always gets their guy in the end. He’s been a hell of a player and has won it all.

Yeah, it was wishful thinking, but I too felt like he was going.

Hoping Bradley starts to get comfortable taking his spot, big shoes to fill. He did well though when Arnold was out for a good portion last season.

Yeah, I kind of figured that was a long shot. Ah well...he's going to be tough to replace.

Well...you wanted Drama? Today you got drama!

The Sheriff of Nottingham stormed the pitch to yell at his manager, Arsenal gave Liverpool a guard of honour, then dropped two and then stormed back to draw...United sucked long and sucked hard, Spurs were abysmal.

I know they're not prioritizing the League...but come on...16th and 17th? Everton are above them....EVERTON!!

You could at least pretend to try.

Elsewhere in the world...Real Madrid get an Mbappe hat-trick but still get stomped by Barca and have effectively lost the league.

And Frankfurt draw St. Pauli!

It’s really too bad that Sunderland ‘til I die isn’t still being filmed. This season would’ve been so good!

Great job Palace!
Now if City can stay in 6th place and miss the Champions League, even better!

What a day for Palace... their ugliest win of the season maybe as far as possession, but when it's your first title in >100 years and you are playing a team that is financially doped up to have 10x the resources as you, who the eff cares

Cool to see Palace win and happy for their fans, but Henderson not getting a red should probably be the end of VAR, at least in its current format. I mean bad enough Atwell missed it to begin with, but to then have a clear and obvious error to overturn, and not do it, basically means VAR has no point.
