Premier League 2024/25

[Dahnsouff]

Saints are very odd, at times they do look half decent, but at other times, clueless.

Saints are shocking, playing out from the back constantly giving up chances, why??!!

Abomination of a manager, if we thought Steve Cooper was bad then watch Russell Martin.

Man City in the mud!

 

****ing embrace it!!

(I have no doubts they'll probably come back into it - and so they should! But i'll enjoy it for now)

 

really weird you're celebrating a team we're directly competing with taking the lead tbh. Have you considered charging possession football rent with the way it lives in your head?

No they haven't heard, I'm certain they already know the decision. Missing Rodri or a few other players isn't an excuse for this team. The decline is huge, they seem overly uninterested and there's a reason why: They're getting relegated and they know it. 

Suits me. Them and Southampton taking up two relegation places.

[FoxTimmy2]

Southampton this season:

31 defensive mistakes leading to goalscoring chances

11 defensive mistakes leading to opponents scoring.

 

And that's after just 15 games, I don't know what Russell Martin is thinking sticking to his shite system, they'd be better off with Cooper.

Palace all over Man City

Soz, Perhaps I should have joined the people actively willing us to lose only a few weeks ago because that's far more rational isn't it.

Palace is way too good to go down. We've said here a couple of months ago that they'll start winning games and commence climbing up the table. They're better than Forest.

1-1

That record is never, ever being beaten. 

 

1 win, four draws and 18 defeats from their remaining games gives them 12 points. It's astounding how bad Derby were that season. They were losing 5-0 every other week.

That might be a decent point. 

 

Forest are finishing nowhere near the European places they're in now.

Plenty on the outside were saying that about us 2 years ago. any team currently below us when our lead to the relegation zone is only 4 points we don't want to win, that should be obvious

there really weren't many if any people actively willing us to lose (expecting us to is a very different thing).

I don't think it will work like this. I'm afraid it's going to be an extra promotion from Championship. 

[Noahfence]

I just don’t see Southampton beating anyone half decent or even average. They’ll get more than 11 points but if they keep Martin they could run it close

Commentator said 33 chances directly from errors. Nonetheless, complete madness what they're doing.

[Mike1983]

Russell Martin's one lane system makes Rodger's 22/23 season look like a masterclass.

 

Possession for possession's sake is the worst kind of football.

[Nalis]

Goes to show how important a decent t defensive is for the top teams. When Newcastle finished 4th that had a brilliant back 5. Now they rely old school Kecin Keegan outscored tactics. Entertaining for the neutrals but must be very annoying for the Geordie fans.

I think an absolutely punitive points deduction that de facto relegates them is more likely than that to be honest. Like Juventus in 2006.

[Fear Of The Fox]

Right now it's only Haaland and Gundogan actually playing for Man City. So it's just a robot and a player with huge character and ego (the nice way).

Good first half at Brentford, so far.

 

Rare that I pick the match that isn't totally dreadful 

[BillyFOX12]

 

And that's only after 14.5 games  It's beyond ridiculous how they haven't fired Russell Martin yet.
