Arsenal won't win the Premier League 2022-2023

xp
yeah fabinho really can't run now, I mean he never could but now he REALLY can't.
getting misty eyed for the much derided hendo/gini/milner days.

gapko will probably be great but he seems unnecessary.

also brighton are legit v good and as far as I can tell v well run, manager falling out with player spat notwithstanding.

also cos I have barely paid attention I had assumed arsenal were strolling the league cos city and lfc were regressing and I hadn't fully appreciated their p fucking outrageous points total so far. so kudos.

They've only lost one league game this season... but then so have Newcastle!

Feel like sacking Klopp would lead to a load of other departures and put Liverpool back in rebuild mode for maybe five years or more, otoh with some luck and some good buys over the summer they could be back in contention next season, so hope he's staying.
There is of course the "selling to Qatar" question hanging over everything but trying not to think about that.

can't see Liverpool ditching him and if i was them i wouldn't, but he's short on excuses at the moment imo

They're never going to sack him.

Once you could kick a Spurs fan on the ILX

the latest on my upstairs neighbour is that besides Iran and Argentina, he supports Barcelona

actually watched a whole game for a change. lloris horrendous for the first goal. arsenal were properly good first half and spurs huffed and puffed 2nd half. spurs fan who kicked ramsdale in the back at the end was as half hearted and craven about it as his team and manager. erik dier's post match interview was a study in somnolence. oh and richarlison still a wanker.

Yeah I’m not enjoying this hope

I remember when Ramsdale was the punching bag of the entire Sky commentary team, now he's a monster

Can't recall if there are any Villa fans itt but you have reason to be excited about getting Jhon Duran from Chicago. String, fast fwd with tons of potential.

*Strong

quite hard to tell if villa fans are excited

Yeah I think on aggregate we had no idea who he was until four hours ago and our curiosity is piqued, and we also really want to sign Matteo Guendouzi or whatever?

Fuck me

city have caught lfc's lethargy.
awful pass from ederson 1-0
awful attempt at a tackle from rodri
2-0
tbf spurs were good in that last 15 mins.
haaland has missed one good chance and one difficult one.

lethargy over

Spurs have just realised who's winning the league

City had better win the league with these bloody points...

Hoping for a new crop of baffling, seemingly AI-generated banners in the Everton end on MOTD but they are possibly all leaving at half time

Our top-flight status may well be toast
And we booked too early on Avanti West Coast

decent game this!

no kidding

last 15's been so frantic

was sure that'd be ruled out somehow

Zinchenko definitely looked offside on the initial ball, which they didn't appear to check?

Arsenal deserved the win though. Utd just invited too much pressure for the last half an hour

Sadly this is the point of the season when City win 18 games in a row

bielsa at Everton would be hilarious. managing the most unathletic team in the league would break him surely. or the players.

So Chelsea will now have spent in the region of €600m since last summer

Seems fine

Absolutely nothing wrong can come from giving out multiple 8 or 9 year contracts for 100+k a week

Case against Mason Greenwood haz been dropped. I didn't really follow all the original details of the case as what I did read was quite sickening. Would be very uneasy about seeing him play again though

Has not haz

I really really hope the club is looking into how to terminate his contract as quickly as possible

totally agree

Ditto Benjamin Mendy if he manages to slither out of the remaining allegations too

I really really hope the club is looking into how to terminate his contract as quickly as possible

Yep

Mason Greenwood has had all charges against him dropped following the "withdrawal of key witnesses"

nothing completely fucking dodgy about this at all

yeah this is not a story of no case to answer

hoping the club do the right thing, but don't really trust them at all. one good thing is they don't urgently need him as a player at the moment, so i'm hoping they realise his toxicity vastly outweighs any footballing benefit of retaining him.

i mean this should not be a footballing decision at all, but sancho is back, martial is back, two decent attacking players secured in the january window, rashford in the form of his life, antony finding his feet, just get rid of the guy asap

PNE would definitely sign him

just clocked the everton v arsenal score, bloody hell

who'd have thought that all Everton needed was a good old fashioned full kit wanker coach to turn them into a decent side!

Genuinely a brilliant performance from Everton. Arsenal barely had a sniff

a spectre is haunting the Prem

again

ffs

even neutrals are saying Burnley play some very attractive football these days. Maybe Dyche can change his ways as well. Or maybe the worst is yet to come!

ffs why couldnt we have been franks last game

Lol Wolves lineup has like four players who are recent acquisitions

no Gomes :( boooooo

YESSSSSSSS
