Congratulations Liverpool but what a boring season. No real drama or intrigue at all.

Might be boring for non-Liverpool fans, but they dominated this season. It was a treat to watch, and Salah extending was the cherry on top. I sure hope TAA does the same, but that's up to him.

They will put a banner up for tonight & take great pride the Liverpool title was confirmed against them.

Congratulations to Liverpool.
Probably deserved another title or 2 during the City 115 era, so can't hate on their core group getting another.

I dont even really know what to say, Liverpool with a similar team but a new coach...they were in every competition, it was an amazing season!

As for the rest of the League? The relegation teams have been done and dusted keeping the bottom of the League uninteresting and the mid-table was okay with those clubs playing...alright and the top of the League stumbled.

City crumbled, Arsenal couldn't keep it up...but Liverpool was always steady.

as bitter as it is for me to see them reach 20, this is true.

too bad it ended up being boring at the top, but that's an Arsenal problem, not a Liverpool problem.

Slot did an incredible job in his first season. He only made really subtle changes and that made for an easy transition from Klopp for most players. Not too many people predicted Liverpool to finish at the top before the season started.

Slot singing Klopp's name post-match and getting the crowd into it was awesome!

I think even the most die-hard Liverpool hater would agree with that. City were cheating like hell and still barely edging Liverpool out.

Congratulations Liverpool and their supporters here. We have some good guys here that support them and I’m sure you’re all deservedly enjoying this win!

Anyway, congrats to Liverpool and their fans.
Since when is winning the Europa League a backdoor? It’s a legitimate trophy and competition.

Sours were never playing their best team today, regardless of whether this was the match for Liverpool to clinch. We have a much more important match this week. The fact that you guys can’t take care of your own business isn’t on us.

I didn't say it wasn't legitimate, but Spurs have been rank feces the vast majority of the season and could still end up in CL. It's definitely the backdoor way in.

I think it goes back to SuperMatt's post, it was kind of boring. The thing is also though, I dont feel like we can generate too much really valid information from large chunks of this season.

Like today, Spurs played like crap, because their place in the League is essentially irrelevant. Clearly they weren't interested in playing their best team and the team they did play wasnt interested in giving it 100%.

From there, Angerball doesnt work well at half-pace, so what conclusions can we draw? Really, as far as the entire table is concerned mid-table was the only really interesting element because it shuffled a bit for those Europa spots, but thats about it.

Not sure if I missed this, or if it flew under the radar, but it looks like it will be Fubo for another three years.

Fubo has been decent enough, but hopefully they can reign in their 100 dollar per year increases. I imagine that is wishful thinking though.

It would still take a lot of things going wrong, but it's not implausible Arsenal miss top 5.
