National Leagues North and South have been ended and declared null and void. The main division has voted to continue by 16 votes to 7. Dover still have 29 games to play.

Is City winning the league pretty much all down to Guardiola? I really don't think he has the best players this time, and his most important players weren't highly rated at all before this season. He does have more depth to work with than anyone else, but it has the feel of those big squads of 7/10 players Fergie had at the end, where only he knew how to use them.
I've always thought his critics were stuck in some circular bollocks where he takes over a club --> wins loads --> players at that club become known as the best players because they're winning everything --> "he only wins because he has the best players". It'll be interesting to see if in a couple of years people are saying "well obviously he won, anyone would win with a spine as unstoppable as Stones+Dias+Gundogan".

I find that bolded part hilarious. I would say that this squad of players has (the defense especially) is specially customized to the way Guardiola thinks about football, in the sense that their strengths pair well with what Pep demands from each position on the field.

I know a post on a forum isn’t going to influence football results, but after the collapse last year and three defeats on the trot after a long unbeaten believers in such things might be getting their bunions in a bundle.

We’ve scored some worldly goals this season. Reckon Bahamboula might get a better gig after this year

Liverpool missing the top 4 would just be so good. I hadn't even considered it until now. What a glorious time.
Yeah seriously @Uppercut has a lot to answer for.
Maybe I should have not posted in the top of the league thread either..

Hell of a goal tbf. Point probably fair. We had our chances but Oldham were always in the game. Frustrating.

The way they are going they might not even get the Thursday cup.

I thought when Liverpool's ridiculously long unbeaten run at Anfield came to an end they would probably lose two in a row as that's often the way the sporting fates seem to go, but four in a row is really funny.
More importantly the Greens were the last team in the EFL to win an away game and had only two away points at the start of the year. Now three wins and two draws from the last five aways and the only unbeaten EFL team in 2021. All of which adds up to being nicely in mid table.

Man that Lautaro goal was way too easy for Inter. Abysmal defending.

The Hakimi run was amazing. Love when fullbacks belt forward on the counter.
