Premier League 2023-2024

Tottenham doing a Tottenham on it.  Just 18 minutes into the 2nd half for Manchester City to turn it around

I don't think Haaland was bought to make City "better" per se, so much as more varied, and more productive in tight games.

But like United with Ronaldo, I don't get impression that the rest of the squad overly happy with any tactics that see them reduced to feeding ammunition for a sniper.

I still think he'll win them the CL.

Loved that interview from Pep. He has declared war.

Did he not give up on it last week?

[ONeill]

Don't think he was sarcastic this week.

That was a message to the fans tonight. The next wave.

[Armagh18]

Expect them to win 15 or in a row now

Thought he was bang on with his message to his players and fans.

He's railing against their comfortable attitude which will be their undoing players especially and home fans expecting the win, just because who they are, but with no fire or passion they'll get caught out like they have in a few games recently.

Chelsea spending some amount of money. Imagine Newcastle were doing that right now. There'd be uproar

In fairness to City they have always had 35k hardcore fans, but have obviously now gained lots of hangers on and new fans spending their time taking selfies at matches

I remember when they were in the old Third Division. It's not that long ago.
Chelsea were the same. An old club with success in the past who were bought by a billionaire and turned into a superpower.

Not that long from Middlesborough tanked them something like 8-1 on last day of the season! Think it was round 07 just before the Arabs came in.

And David James was being used as an emergency striker.

Team moved up and down the leagues far more frequently when there was less money involved.
Villa went from 3rd division to league and European Champions inside 10 years, back down to 2nd division within another 5, and then 2nd place in division 1 three years later (1990).
