Is it too early to start the City v Arsenal live thread now that the Community Shield has been elevated to Major Trophy status after Liverpool won it last season?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah it's two months away. Could maybe start a City v Inter one though, as I'm not sure anyone else will.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll be too busy that day myself, hopefully somebody else takes the lead.

why do they not play all the last games at the same time in Italy and Spain like they do in England?

ell plus two missed pens for Israel after that
----------------------------------------------------------------------
a penalty from a penalty, I've never seen that before.

Do you know any streams for the game on now?

I think they just accept cheating and match-fixing over there tbh. Not really much point trying to prevent it.

Exactly, plus it’s not scripted for drama like it is here.

We've gone back to playing the domestic cup final on the last weekend which I agree with.

European leagues tend to play theirs midweek about a month before the season ends.

I thought the change was temporary anyway due to Covid, I just find it strange that they stagger the last day fixtures

Sorry been away. Get the Scottish Premiership play off on. County came from 3 down to level it in stoppage time. Jesus, when the best league in the world and the most competitive league in the world meet, it sure causes drama

Staggering the last round of fixtures is weird I must admit.

It's a staggering decision

Indeed.

I misunderstood PP's question, to err is human though.

They only stagger games that cannot have a direct impact on each other - i.e. any game that might impact the European slots will take place at the same time, as will those that have an impact on relegation. If they all impact each other, then all games go ahead at the same time.

The Liga games under way right now all impact relegation, with 6 teams all vying to avoid the final relegation slot. If all the results fall into place, there could even be a 5-way tie that woud then have to be sorted by all the head-to-head results between the teams involved.

Crazily enough, all six teams depend on themselves to avoid the drop.

One goal sends Valencia down. That's the equivalent of Spurs being a goal away from relegation with half a game to play

Valencia fans might find that rather insulting.

ah Ok, but it's a lot of last minute organisation for travel and stuff

Goal in AC. Relegates Verona

Penalty in Roma to send it to a play off again
