Oh definitely. I just see more of a chance for the team already on top (pains me to say that) resting a bit on their accomplishments more than teams in recent good form deciding to shut it down. Once clinched Liverpool did slip up a bit.

Regardless, I’m so happy there is such a short break and right back out there. Then by time they are done it’s Euros next summer also. Bang on.

5 sub rule is done and returning to 18 match day squads.

Pleased.

I'm glad to see some things going back to normal. Between the changes in the PL and MLB changes, sports just seemed strange.

Strategically, I enjoyed the 5 subs through 3 sub windows rule. I won't miss it, probably, but I did enjoy how it could change the game strategically on a moment's notice.

^ Like how we did on the last day. Newcastle must have been pleased with our 3 subs on 64 minutes. We took off Ox, Origi and Minamino and brought on Salah, Mane and Firmino. Not a bad trio!

Not sure if I saw it here or elsewhere, but thank you to whoever recommended the All or Nothing documentary series on Pep and City.

It is outstanding, as I watched the first episode last night.

It’s “free” with amazon prime.

If you get a moment, watch the Brazil one on their 2018 Copa tournament. Really good insight into the ridiculous amount of pressure on the Selecao

"The league also confirmed that it would fully implement Fifa’s VAR protocols from next season."

"Clubs voted unanimously for the protocols, meaning that there will be increased use of monitors and a more consistently punitive approach to goalkeepers moving off their line when facing a penalty."

Can't wait for English referees to not give a single ****.
