@KiwiPie said in EPL 2023/2024:
@DaGrubster Agreed. I saw the FA Cup draw announced by a Newcastle journo on Twitter (Newcastle away to City) and lots of fans replying that the draw was rigged against them.
Bit early to call the title race over with just a 2 point gap and the Arse having a better goal difference. I know City don't generally drop points in April and May but they are looking much shakier at the back than previous seasons.
UCL first legs were all good games and none of them decided which should make for an exciting week. Hard to pick the final 4 without the away goals rule.
Congratulations to Bayer Leverkusen, winning their first ever title with 5 games to spare. They sold their best player (Moussa Diaby) and their biggest transfer in was Nathan Tella from Southampton.
Agree on Man city. They're favourites now but they don't feel quite as inevitable this season. I think there's still a couple of twists left, I think there will be more points dropped all round.
I was surprised that Leverkusen had never won a title, I was sure they had won one when Ballack was playing for them, but just series of heartberaks.
Ends Kingsley Coman's run - first time as a senior pro that he doesn't win the league title. Probably a fair few others at Bayern with similar streaks ending, but Coman managed his run across three different leagues!
