Premier League 2025-26

A deserved 2-0 half time lead for Man City. Liverpool sure to have a kick in them, can't be as bad 2nd half?

When the best attacking side in England spends £300m+ in the same window on attacking players, and things then go to pot, it's hard not let out a Nelson Muntz style haha.

To be fair one of those players hasn't been on the pitch.

As good as Liverpool was mid week against Real Madrid they were the opposite tonight as bossed and bullied by City.  Strange lack of consistency from Liverpool this season after spending big in the summer.

[Look-Up!]

 I thought at the time they should have gave Isak a wide berth especially with the price tag and after the way he engineered his exit. Defence was more a priority and Guehi would have been a great addition. That didn't happen and they looked like they could cope till next window before strengthening CD, but since Isak came in they've been a disaster for whatever reason, coincidence or not.
 Squad looks way off balance. At this stage if Slot can steady the ship and towards end of season have them fine tuned and looking like they could mount a title challenge for the following season, it will be a very good season for them. With the money they've spent, they don't want to have buyer's remorse and be looking to overhaul the squad come summer. Or even searching a new manager.

Sunderland looked great last night. Very physical team but very athletic and can all play. City on a bit of a roll but that was a poor team they were playing today. Hope they come unstuck at some stage, preferably when January window closes after they've failed to strengthen.

Liverpool will coast to another PL.

Slot a better manager than Klopp.

Man City  in transition

Chelsea and Arsenal fill togs when going gets tough.

Tottenham are Tottenham. Ditto Vila.

Newcastle will struggle this year without Isak going to Pool.

Man Utd be closer to relegation than top.

Oh Jesus. 😁

[Dag Dog]

Newcastle put everything into that last night as if it was a Cup final

They beat you already this year in your cup final at Wembley. It launched the Slot Slump that has been ongoing since last March.

I was ridiculed back then, guess who is having the last laugh 😃

[Look-Up!]

Big game in London today. Important gunners keep the foot down and stay at their pace. While this is a decent spurs team I think dropping points against them could be very damaging to Arsenal confidence.

Keep winning and it's massive massive pressure off their shoulders. Not convinced on Chelsea. They're good but will drop lots of points and can't see them breaking 80 points. Plus doubt they'll do much in January transfer window. That leaves just City only team in the tile race capable of crossing 80 points bar. And still think that's a huge if for them without strengthening in the new year.

Tactics Tim said y'day if Arsenal win today they win the league and will win it for the next few years and if they don't they won't.

Seems like a lot is riding on today's match then 🤭

[Look-Up!]

Some boy but typical of the hysteric commentary on football teams these days.

It is an important game and season for them though. Arsenal of 2/3 years ago I'd be very confident of winning the title this year so they won't get a better opportunity for a while. Failure and I'm not sure where that leaves Arteta.

The way this season is going it looks similar to last season whereby 2nd will only get mid 70 points.  Arsenal are in the box seat to win their first Premier league title 22 years.

Just about a third of the way there but looking like that. Go back a month and it was shaping up to be a real cliffhanger with multiple teams in it. But yeah, now it look like a two horse race at best, if even that. Only way that changes is for Arsenal form to fall off a cliff.

Arsenal would need to match last seasons points total for this season to be a two or three horse race and it's hard to see them getting below 80 points with the improvement they have made to their squad and most of their new signings fitting in well.

Yep. Few little niggles here and there with them that they need to manage. But very very solid team barring a major injury crisis.

Spurs time wasting here from the first minute.. What absolute dross this is going to be
