Let’s just say that there’s no room for “I’m sorry, Sonny,” <tousles hair> in the Premier League.

I’m new money when it comes to the Premier League. A few years ago, I caught a Liverpool match and liked the way they played as well as “You’ll Never Walk Alone”. I became a fan and bought a shirt. They were near the top to the table, so I didn’t suffer like some longtime fans. I guess I don’t feel like I have the right to talk trash. Also, I appreciate quality soccer wherever it’s played.

I’m ridiculous.

I did the same thing to Glov one time and he bit my head off. (Edit: the fact that it was Tottenham likely had something to do with my reaction, just saying.)

Did anyone watch the FA Cup final? I don't have Espn plus. Were the injuries to salah and van dijk bad?

Salah and Van Dijk are on the right end of the line in this video. That’s encouraging.

A few minutes earlier, they said City had possession 78% of the match.

As a Liverpool fan, I'm not supposed to feel sympathy for Everton, but man, @RyanSnyder must be a tortured soul right now. How do you draw a red card in the first 20min?

Europe for Arsenal!

Wait, Europa for Arsenal!

Woof. Completely exceeded my expectations for this season, so not going to complain too much. But, what a way to finish things out.

I was told, haven’t looked it up yet, but if Liverpool wins the Champions League over RM, they get an automatically placed, then the next 4 EPL teams get bids for next year. Can anyone concur, our new friend from Texas?

What happens if Liverpool wins the Champions League?​

With Liverpool in the Champions League final against Real Madrid on May 28, but also having already clinched Champions League qualification via their Premier League finish, there are questions as to whether the Reds winning the competition would potentially grant a fifth English club a chance to qualify for the 2022-23 Champions League.

That's not the case.

If Liverpool win the Champions League and also qualify for the 2022-23 Champions League by finishing top four, there is no Premier League qualification berth that is passed on to another team in the table.


Instead, Liverpool's "extra" berth would fall to the highest-ranked UEFA nation (by UEFA coefficient) without a guaranteed group stage place. That nation is Ukraine, thus granting the Ukrainian league champion — this year confirmed to be Shakhtar Donetsk after the suspension of the domestic league in February due to war — a direct ticket to the Champions League group stage.

That direct ticket for Shakhtar Donetsk has actually already been confirmed before the 2022 Champions League final is even played. That's because Real Madrid, Liverpool's opponent in the May 28 title match, has also clinched a Champions League berth by finishing top in Spain's La Liga. So Shakhtar will be earning the berth that belongs to either Liverpool or Real Madrid.
