I would like to suggest a rule for VAR checks. The criteria is supposed to be clear and obvious error to override a call by the referee. If it takes longer than 30 seconds, the call on the field should stand. I'm tired of 3-5 minute VAR checks. If it took that long, it is by definition not "clear and obvious."

The Polish Rifle got his 34th goal in 34 matches on a PK.

Red for Wolfsburg? I was focused on the match Werder vs Cologne. Viva Colonia isn't anymore. At least Cologn is save for next year.

Claudio Pizarro. Last season. He is over 40! A Bundesliga legend!

We only get the Bayern-Wolfsbutg match and Dortmund-Hoffenheim on TV over here.

I'm following the matchday via Eurosport live ticker. They closed off the comments several weeks ago - I think due to all the idiots commenting on everything.

There is no denying: Klopp is king!

Showing the effects of a little championship partying, the boys in red got the shit kicked out of them by Man. City yesterday. Klopp will use it as a wakeup call for the boys.

Leverkusen vs Bayern. Leverkusen's goalkeeper didn't look well when Lewandowski scored....

Lewandowski has a habit of making goalies look sick.

34 goals this season. Not bad. With three missing games due to a ban and injury. Gerd Müller scored 40 goals once. Zlatan Ibrahimovic 38, Edinson Cavani 35......... Lewandowski says he is still hungry......

Have you ever seen a human being move more slowly than a football player wanting to waste a little time?

I am glad they invited Sir Kenny to hand out the medals as Liverpool pick up their trophy. He was the reason I became a football fan. Kloppo looks good with his medal and that trophy should always have those Liverpool red ribbons on it.

Nottingham Forest just imploded in a way that redefines the definition of doing a Forest.

No Playoffs for us for the 9th year in a row.

(Am I in the right thread this time? I am? Okay, good. )

Congrats to Liverpool and their fans. Much rather see them win the title than either of the Manchesters, or Chelsea, or Arsenal.

Sunday is gonna be interesting with Manchester United, Chelsea and Leicester all vying for 3rd and 4th place and Champions League football; Aston Villa, Watford and Bournemouth all fighting to stay up; and Wolves and my Spurs both fighting over 6th place.

Can anyone please explain how my club can be so fucking bad when it comes to anything concerning Playoffs?

2003 - Leading Sheffield Utd 3-1 on Aggerate with 20 minutes to go and end up losing 5-4 on Aggerate after Extra time.

2007 - Leading 3-1 on Aggerate with 10 minutes to go and end up losing 5-4 on Aggerate after Extra time.

2010 - Conceding 3 goals in a 7 minute span in the 2nd leg and losing 6-4 on Aggerate to Blackpool

2011 - Lose 3-1 on Aggerate to Swansea despite two clear handballs AKA Goalkeeping saves from opposition defenders being ignored by the ref during the game

2013 - Lose on the last day of the season to Leicester 3-2 (Injury time goal) to miss out on the playoffs in a winner takes all match.

2020 - Despite being in the playoffs since December 26th and having a +5 goal difference advantage, we concede 3 goals in the final 20 minutes to lose 4-1 and allow Swansea who scored twice in the last 5 minutes of their game to finish 6th place ahead of us by +1 Goal difference

WHY DOES FOOTBALL HATE ME AND MY CLUB
