Premier League 2025/26 Thread

Man City left a lot of gaps in the 2nd half. There was a point when Silva managed to make a crucial intervention as last man. Arsenal had 2 clear chances but I agree with the fellow fan 2 posts above: They didn't look ambitious. Man City was there for the taking but Arteta is always over cautious. 

Man City need to be careful. Teams like Brentford and Bournemouth are going to exploit these gaps. Arsenal might be top of the league but the two teams I've mentioned are playing more attractive football in my eyes.

More dram left in this yet. 
 

Arsenal are wobbling, but Manchester City just lose random games.

Just watched the Villa Sunderland highlights. You'd be raging if you were a Sunderland fan that bloke not squaring it at the end.

Wolvea burnleybspurs go doqn (forest look too good tondown as much i hate its true))

Man city to win it

[foxfanazer]

As much as I want Arsenal to bottle it, their fixtures are much nicer than Man City's. And Man City do lose these random games where you're not expecting it 

 

Either way, the fact Arsenal have even let it get to a 5 game straight shootout like this is crazy and for me speaks volumes about Arteta's limitations

If they do lose the title it’s not because of performances like yesterday. It’s the way they’ve played the 6 months prior

Jesus christ he's still ****ing doing that?

 

I've had him on ignore for months. Brother is thick as ****ing pigshit. 

 

Almost every elite coach in the world has their team, including keeper, play out from the back yet Year Of The Dunning-Kruger Effect here thinks he knows better than them all because he's too dim to watch a goal and recognise it's happened because a move started at the back.

 

If I was that thick I'd be far too embarrassed to actively advertise it every week. Respect the self-confidence at least

Sounds like he does care @Samilktray

Nice friendly game this one. It's going to be 0-2 for West Ham and Spurs are going down.

Damn the top football leagues really want those concussion related lawsuits against them in a few years right?

Dammit Henderson - can't you, you know, close your eyes for a bit

Nobody cares. These OnlyFans footballers who earn thousands per minute know the dangers.

Technically if you’re concussed, you don’t actually have capacity to make that decisions. I suppose it’ll take another quick head knock and a player to die on the pitch before anything gets done.

I don't understand your point. Football wasn't invented a week ago. The danger of someone dying on spot exists for more than a century now. Sorry if I'm a bit harsh but I don't care.

I’m not saying either way whether I’m for or against it, I’m just saying every other contact sport has ongoing lawsuits due to early onset dementia and brain damage, which we know footballers get. Brennan Johnson got absolutely hammered, was groggy as hell and still carried on. It’s madness.

Let's see if Simon Jordan calls them 'entitled'... 

[foxfanazer]

Assuming Man city win tomorrow night both them and Arsenal are still 11 points off of our total in 15/16 with 5 games to go. With the money spent on both squads that's pretty mad. Now maybe the strength of the league is better nowadays but the teams at the top aren't anything special imo
