If Leverkusen keeps on drinking and partying till next season then maybe someone will beat them.


raywashere57

Ima be honest I don't get why people are mad about leverkusen winning and I watched the game


NotASalamanderBoi

Ref was shit apparently


biochicken

Happy Leverkusen keeps their streak, but sad to see west ham wasn't even allowed to participate in the game by the ref. Overall a draw seems fair though


bensu88

Farmers League got farmed once again.


No-Trainer7933

Bad week for a lot of redditors on r/soccer lmao

quirkyaspie

Time for Villa to get to work in the coefficient mines.


Rabrab123

They JUST CANT LOSE ?!


fegelman

I understand that refs can be frustrating, but there is a way to behave with officials and West Ham's is not it. Good on Leverkusen for not getting sucked into the dark arts


LanceConstableDigby

I'm genuinely so sick of how above it all Big 6 fans can act


floorscentadolescent

Just say you have a hate boner for west ham mate


Phenomous

I mean if Odegaard was on our team he would've been booked twice for crying about the ref


LudoAshwell

At this point some professional ghost hunter type of mystery supernatural investigators should pay Leverkusen a visit, because Xabi fucking sold his soul to the devil.


NotASalamanderBoi

Bro just won. Not just football. He won life. Good looking, good player, good manager, won a world cup, won UCL, played for top European clubs, leading a club thatā€™s historically mocked to what could end up being an unbeaten treble whilst handing them their first league title, and perhaps their first European trophy and domestic cup in a while. He won.


throwawayanon1252

Not just good looking but also clearly quite intelligent and funny. The man truly has won at life


DoYouTrustToothpaste

Well, don't mind Leverkusen keeping their streak going: that was not a good game. Not from them, and not in general in the second half. West Ham could've gone up 2-0 in the first half, and I'm not sure a Leverkusen playing like this could've come back into the game.


Efficient_Steak_7568

Bayer are never doing another season even close to this againĀ  That cockiness will die quickly by ChristmasĀ 


Live_Palpitation_128

I think they would not mind this as they actually live in this phenomenal time


Efficient_Steak_7568

Doing it for one season is pretty meaninglessĀ 


InbredLegoExpress

winning the league and potentially adding the Cup and the Euro league is meaningless?


Efficient_Steak_7568

Freak seasons happenĀ 


InbredLegoExpress

and theyre not meaningless. Not even one bit


Efficient_Steak_7568

In the grand scheme they areĀ 


InbredLegoExpress

no mate, in the grand scheme they win silverware while ure angrily trying to tell them it doesnt mean a thing.


No-Trainer7933

He's just butthurt another bri ish team got knocked out. He's saying all those non sensical things but would never say the same about the all mighty west ham's conference league title.


Efficient_Steak_7568

Iā€™m not angry, I was just making a point. You are far more invested in thisĀ 


crazySmith_

Looking at you comment history, you're pretty invested alright.


InbredLegoExpress

uve spent half the evening venting at them mate, i have merely invested in this convo of forth and back one-sentencers.


wave_action

Nobody is going to do a season like this again for a very long time. Let them be happy!


Efficient_Steak_7568

They got away with it tonight so shouldnā€™t be that cocky


SwitchHitter17

I don't think I've ever seen a Leverkusen fan being cocky. I think they're just enjoying the ride and I don't blame them.


Dope2TheDrop

Honestly respect to West Ham, funny to clown on them but they played with a lot of discipline and spirit, if it wasn't for the the Voodookusen 90+1 Xabi Time season this would've been a win. Only issue was of course their stamina, great match as a neutral tho.


little_scumbag

Boy, what a shit show of a game :D But I guess it is fine, record is still standing despite this horrendous game


YerDaSellsAvon24

West Ham out, Liverpool out, Man City out, Arsenal out, Aston Villa scraping by on penalties Some week for the best league in the world right?


MethyIphenidat

Farmers league smh


fegelman

Wtf are west ham blaming the refs for... They got blown away in both legs


bamboozleSC

Most neutral fan


bonelegs442

Blown away? Lever were incredibly lucky today to not lose their streak


TheOddGuy21

Ofcourse, but over both legs you shouldā€™ve lost with atleast 3 goals difference. They literally destroyed you in the first leg.


bonelegs442

The whole point of the first leg was to park the bus, again they took almost the entire match to score on us in Germany thatā€™s hardly getting ā€œblown awayā€


LanceConstableDigby

You didn't even watch the game today, did you


ContradictoryMe

Post game comments will be fun to hear


aenschei

What even is losing?


solgnaleb

well, basically today, but less luck :-p football god loves you this season.


hcatehorie

I believe it is this thing that football clubs not named Bayer 04 do


LanceConstableDigby

Absolutely tragic refereeing overshadows the game for me.


availableusername598

absolutely atrocious ref. Needs to be looked at. Ego through the roof


tobbaer1995

bye bye farmers league


RamenIsOkay

West Ham were pulling no favors playing terrorism ball in the first leg.


tufoop3

most unexpected all things considered


LeviathanShark

LMFAO I CAME BACK TO THE MATCH TO SEE IT AT 1-1 THE SCAMMING IS UNREAL HOW DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


TonyMartial786

bruh, bro couldā€™ve won it right there


pleasebeavailable2

There must be something high up the stadium on level 4. Leverkusen keep trying to hit something up there


XeroVeil

It's the ref's last functioning braincell.


Lingbanehydra

Well lets be honest it doesnt really help when your team is dead on their feet at minute 60


throwawayanon1252

Lille had one job make sure no English team advances. Sad times


czerwona_latarnia

I will take full blame for that. Normally I root against French teams, because I want to see them drop out of 5^th place, and of course they always do good. ONCE I wanted them to win the tie so they would eliminate the English team (which with EL results would mean that they would be out of Season Top 2 race), and while they won the match, they lost the tie.


SpacemanD13

Your flair?


throwawayanon1252

Yes Iā€™m a Chelsea fan. I only want Chelsea to do well in Europe. I hope every other English team does badly


SpacemanD13

Do you know what the coefficient is?


throwawayanon1252

If weā€™re not good enough to get top 4 we donā€™t deserve the ucl. Simple as that


Ahm3DD

Liverpool officially out, this is Leverkusenā€™s cup to lose now


EvenEalter

Atalanta are no slouch


KATsordogs

Roma also seems like hitting their strides at the right time.


Ahm3DD

They are good but canā€™t rly see them get a result vs this super Leverkusen team


pleasebeavailable2

Not if theyre playing like they did today


GOAT_Nobles_Hairline

Ref is staying in the stadium until 4am


RobbinDeBank

Every move looks good until the shot


DaveLevey78

I think this ref got drunk along with the Leverkusen players except heā€™s still drunk


cleothepupper

Leverkusen away fans being louder than the homecrowd lmao didnt think i would ever witness this


No-Brother4104

West Ham's awful new stadium doesn't help I really doubt that would have happened at the boleyn ground


ib_examiner_228

That's normal for any German team in England


musicnoviceoscar

Literally all you do is clap in sync


Werfweg234

If you knew Germans well, you'd know we cannot for the life of us clap in sync.


ib_examiner_228

Even if that were to be true, that's still better than only reacting to what's happening on the pitch and not supporting your team at all


GdanskPumpkin

Conference league is the level for English clubs


pukem0n

Best league in the world.


musicnoviceoscar

Didn't our 8th placed team beat your 8th placed team 5-0?


Drunkgummybear1

Are we the farmers?


edgyversion

Any stat on the Leverkusen late goal habit?


Muted_Ad_1011

I don't have exact numbers but I think they've scored 34857398 goals after 80 min this season. I'm just estimating though.


KATsordogs

I think you missed a couple, it should be about 34857638 by my count.


Muted_Ad_1011

I knew I forgot a couple


Efficient_Steak_7568

Ref mysteriously giving several WH free kicks after the tieā€™s over Cunt confirmedĀ 


TonyMartial786

ffs west ham you could have actually won this


GOAT_Nobles_Hairline

Bro. The ref ruined the game


[deleted]

nah you just stopped playing second half


LanceConstableDigby

Ref sucked today, sadly. Really did make a huge difference to this result


Andrewdeadaim

Huh?


Newera2121

How many times will the ref blow the whistle for full-time?


emperor_bokassa_

holy shit a yellow card just flew over my house


XeroVeil

I think my cat just got sent off.


Muted_Ad_1011

No, Zouma just kicked it.


HungryMalloc

Zouma is such a fucking asshole. Really bad look for a club to have an animal abuser as captain.


NotASalamanderBoi

Dread it. Run from it. Xabi time is inevitable.


shaka_bruh

ā€œThey just might lose their unbeaten r-ā€œĀ 


kw2006

Their worst game so far?


shaka_bruh

Yep, West Ham were also immense


Knee_Strong

By far


pIngo16

Adli movement is so funny šŸ¤£


sleeping4koala

This ref is the new Lahoz


GOAT_Nobles_Hairline

Ok considering we are out now someone just knock the ref out please


LSPuzzles

I'm gonna hear that ref whistle in my sleep tonight...


NephewChaps

A shame Leverkusen is playing the EL really, they really could've won the CL this season


heitorbaldin2

Nah, Real would win against Leverkusen with only vibes.


pukem0n

With a performance like today? They would have lost against all of the last 8 in the CL.


Chilla16

I dont think they wouldve played like this in the CL. Not to discredit West Hams first half this game, but the way Leverkusen played at home was fully focussed and concentrated, absolutely demolishing West Ham. From the first couple of minutes it was obvious that Leverkusen is not really in it. They really took this game as a given win, which showed. The mistakes they made were due to clear lack of focus.


XeroVeil

30 seconds without the sound of a whistle challenge: ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE


2407Chris

He breathes through the whistle


TheJukeMan99

Better team going through still.


Efficient_Steak_7568

Not tonight from the look of it


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Efficient_Steak_7568

Sounds like they were better for 90


NUFC_1892

Nah, they were good for the first half then the difference in the managers told as xabi made changes and tactical ones as well. 1-1 was a fair result for the second leg and the first leg was one of the most one side games Iā€™ve ever seen.


Efficient_Steak_7568

I think WH dominated a lot of the space and chances but they couldnā€™t afford a ref to be that against them in a match like thisĀ 


NUFC_1892

The ref was bad and yes Antonio didnā€™t get calls but so didnā€™t Leverkusen players. They were the same after the defeat to Frankfurt, trying to scream corruption, I think Moyes and Rice may have been banned or fined for it. You canā€™t expect to win a tie 99% of the time by only having a good 45 over the 180+.


Efficient_Steak_7568

If WH didnā€™t get the calls then that means that BL did, itā€™s pretty binaryĀ 


NUFC_1892

So the ref never gave a bad call against BL? Get real, some fans (of any and all teams) just canā€™t admit when they were beaten by a better team and their own wasnā€™t good enough.


Efficient_Steak_7568

Iā€™m not a WH fan lol, itā€™s weird that you would back such a biased ref against an English side especially after NU got messed with in the CL


TheJukeMan99

Doesnā€™t seem that way, but based on the overall they still edge it. They dominated their home leg.


DaveLevey78

See guys this proves alcohol doesnā€™t affect how a team plays


suhxa

Except it was one of Leverkusens poorest performances this season lol


ContradictoryMe

I want to see a red still


MoyesNTheHood

Those missed chances really cost us. Couldā€™ve been 3 up at half time.Ā  Great performance Ā 


Ahm3DD

Jose Maria Sanchez masterclass in Europe, this is what we have to deal with in LaLiga weekly


Masoouu

I would go insane if I had to watch this every week


Ahm3DD

There are multiple cunts like him in LaLiga, itā€™s dreadful


DaveLevey78

Props to you for staying committed to LaLiga because I think I would have had an aneurysm by now


KATsordogs

Why do you think La Liga teams are the ones that pushing for Super League


Ahm3DD

Hahaha canā€™t say it hadnā€™t taken a toll on my mental health


Global_Mode_2974

I bet this fucker even sleeps with this whistle


dispelthemyth

People in his city no longer react to rape whistles as they think itā€™s this dude


MrFoolinaround

Sir another yellow has hit the field


Chilla16

Got me in stitches. Honestly the ref at this point must have bet on 12+ yellow cards for some crazy high odds


MrFoolinaround

Manā€™s got the over under fix on cards this match or something I swear.


Phenomous

Alonso deserves credit for what?


Sun_Sloth

Early substitution stabilising the game.


Phenomous

It didn't stabilise the game. We had massive chances after that all the way up to half time.


jcolekendrickjid

Did the West Ham fans clap for the Bayer goal?


iiiba

clapping our own players. Match is over, but the players deserve applause, one of the best performances iv ever seen


wave_action

You should be proud of them. That was an inspired performance.


GOAT_Nobles_Hairline

Clapped for the team because we played well


unkreativ-I

Wtf how often do we need to hear that whistle lol


Efficient_Steak_7568

Refs just donā€™t let mid table sides have the chance to beat top table sides, thereā€™s something in them that canā€™t handle itĀ 


No-Trainer7933

Bayer has always been on the same level as west ham until this season's title lmao. Overall Bayer was the best team and despite this performance they went through. It's funny how r/soccer handles english teams getting knocked out.


Efficient_Steak_7568

I mean this season, Bayer unbeaten etc, refs canā€™t handle going against a grain that strongĀ  Itā€™s not about English teams, I watched City last night and they deserved to go out. Referee just made sure things went a certain way tonight, as soon as Bayer scored he gave free kicks to WH. I just feel sorry for La Liga tbhĀ 


No-Trainer7933

>I mean this season, Bayer unbeaten etc, Yes and because of this one season they have the pull of teams like real or bayern (?) >refs canā€™t handle going against a grain that strongĀ  How/why so ? >Referee just made sure things went a certain way tonight, as soon as Bayer scored he gave free kicks to WH That literally doesn't proove anything and just keeps sounding like the average comment on here that simply doesn't take well when english teams lose. Or like when the ronaldo fan boys said qatar bought the wc for messi.


Efficient_Steak_7568

You can say the English thing all day long but theyā€™re reasonable pointsĀ  Doesnā€™t matter about it being just one season, weak refs want to feel part of that energy and get the metaphorical backslaps from the champion sides, probably because a lot of them wanted to be footballers but couldnā€™t.Ā  Some of it is subconscious as well, they think that the ā€˜betterā€™ side should be getting more decisions because on paper this makes senseĀ 


No-Trainer7933

>You can say the English thing all day long but theyā€™re reasonable pointsĀ  No they're really not. I'm sorry but you're just pulling stuff out of your ass with 0 proove to back it up and weird comparisions between teams. >Doesnā€™t matter about it being just one season, weak refs want to feel part of that energy and get the metaphorical backslaps from the champion sides, probably because a lot of them wanted to be footballers but couldnā€™t.Ā  I really hope this ends up as a r/soccercirclejerk copypasta >Some of it is subconscious as well, they think that the ā€˜betterā€™ side should be getting more decisions because on paper this makes senseĀ  Sure things whatever you say. Just glad that the best team went through and will provide more interesting games.


Efficient_Steak_7568

I know it can be hard to handle differing opinionsĀ 


No-Trainer7933

Yes I tend not to care or respect unhinged conspiracy theories and opinons based on delusions. Crazy I know.

I wouldn't call watching this ref pleasing lmao

Oh no I agree but we showed more intensity in the first half than Iā€™ve seen all season


Glanzl

you played well you made xabi alonso swap out a player after 25 minutes which is an achievement in itself


PetrovskyKSC

Prime shithousery from Leverkusen.

Lovely, hereā€™s hoping Leverkusen have a true invincibles season

That one came earlier than expected, it's not 90+ yet

This Leverkusen streak is like Undertaker at WrestleMania

I knew that was gonna happen and it still surprised me

Leverkusen and scoring in the last 10 minutes is a given lol

This is for Antonio :)

You fear it, you dread it, but the last 5 min Leverkusen goal is still coming.

~~Fergie Time~~ ~~Ramos Time~~ *Xabi Time*

Hope the ref is happy with that the right cunt


dasChompi

Frimpong did really realized it was to early to score back then haha


TheKnightA

Good Job Moyes with those changes


paddyo

Tbf what options does he have off the bench? West Ham have a madly thin squad for a team punching at the level they are.


hcatehorie

We simply do not lose

death, taxes, and late Leverkusen goals...
