European/World Football Leagues 2023-24 (aka Kane/Jude/Sancho Goal Watch)

[Stumble Bum]

Fans on the pitch already at 82 mins.... why can't they just wait...

 

[Stumble Bum]

Fans on the pitch again, game ends early on 89ish mins.... so dumb!

 

[Reuben klang]

Crazy to think that is their first league title.

You’ve just got to laugh at harry kane.

 

[C Kent]

Those scenes in the Leverkusen game, mental. The Kane curse is real

 

[Shamikebab]

Can't believe I've lived to see Leverkusen win something. Always been one of my favourite teams to play on FM.

 

[chrismscotland]

Incredible to see Leverkusen finally win the title; they have been no-where for a long time.
That said I almost expect them to be hovering about 7th by next Christmas and Alonso sacked; there's no sentimentality when it comes to sacking a manager in German football

Well done to them crazy times.

Bayern might not even get second this rate lol

I'd love to see Stuttgart take 2nd; although to do it I think they'll need to end Leverkusen's unbeaten run

It's embarrassing really, but it just sums up this country and how we act towards our own players.

The germans even have a word for this sort of thing, Schadenfreude. Part of it I think is the whole "Spursy" trope rubbing off on him, he's heavily associated with them so people love a bit of banter at their/his expense especially if they support Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham etc.
edit: but yes, build them up to knock them down has been part of English football and especially the gutter press as long as I can remember. People have head comedy headlines forcefed them for so long, and now it's internet memes, we are sort of indoctrinated in the art of laughing at whatever misfortune has befallen our players.

Hes on track to score the most BL goals in a single season

Not really, he's 9 goals behind the record and has maximum 5 matches left assuming he doesn't get injured/suspended/benched (if they get past Arsenal, maybe not implausible they would rest him in a match ahead of Champions League now the title is gone?), so his current scoring rate simply isn't good enough. Not all of his opponents will be pushovers either, eg Bayern still have to go to Stuttgart who are level on points with them and have a better defensive record, are in better form currently etc. I'm not saying he can't break the record, but I wouldn't say he was on track.

From September:

It's going to be so so funny when Spurs win something this year and Leverkusen pip Bayern to the German title.

I was half right at least.

To be fair, one of those was a moon shot and the other was just assuming that Leverkusen would have a good season.

0-1 down and you get a 97th minute pen to rescue a point, up steps this guy....

Hey it was on target, that takes it above all those off target

 

[JamesH85]

Leverkusen Undefeated season looks at real risk.

1-0 down at Dortmund. 83 mins gone.

 

[chrismscotland]

Come on Dortmund!

 

[chrismscotland]

Leverkusen down to 10 now as well
Edit: Reversed

 

[chrismscotland]

How do they do it?

 

[Shamikebab]

lmao how. Has to be divine intervention

Tebas is really doing his best to destroy La Liga.
