Season Preview:
Man City and Arsenal have distanced themselves as the clear favorites for the title. With Arsenal closing the gap and beating Man City on xG could this be the year that they get over the line? There are some large error bars on Liverpool with klopp retiring and Salah getting older, will they be able to insert themselves in the title race again like they did last year?
For top 4/5 can Aston Villa repeat last years feat thanks to the normal culprits being completely incompetent or will one of Chelsea/United get their **** together finally (hopefully not)? Spurs went full Spurs throwing the match vs City to stop arsenal from winning the title while costing themselves top 4 in the process, will they be in the race again despite doing no business at all in the summer to address squad needs?
The relegation fight as usual has the 3 promoted teams as favorites to go back down, but with PSR looming in the background could we see a surprise team relegated?
This United performance reminds me of how defensively **** Arsenal were when Arteta took over.
Slab looks like he's lost a few pounds.
The goals United have let in do a fantastic job showing how much work is needed. Onana with a howler and two defensive mistakes will result in getting punished by a rather decent Forest side. Especially as the team is going back to old habits after going down 2 goals
The 3rd goal. I don't understand how nobody reacts? 3 people there including the keeper - everybody just watches that ball fall in
New manager, still getting **** results with these players
He's given a few ralf-like hints about how **** this group of players are so I'm hoping they just give him the ralf treatment rather than the follow the correct course of tearing the whole thing up.

Amorim sacked and Southgate in at some point during 2025 please I beg
Don't worry they are changing something, they just got rid of Ashworth as sporting director after less than six months lmao
It took Lego Pep and co about 1.5 years to really get the go-ahead from the owners for the clearout/full rebuild.
Think Utd ownership has similar fears after they let EtH spend 700million 10% of which is an Antony.
Amorim really needs to showcase he can't do **** with this. And as Reynolds already correctly pointed out he is doing the Ralf Ragnick comms
you may vaguely recall that mun had a mud wrestling match with newcastle a few months ago over some random back office person, and ended up paying 3 million quid to get him to old trafford. well he just got sacked
other recent expenses of this nature include 15m to get ten bag to go away and 13m to get this portuguese zoomer in
also please feel free to add in the 20m they had to give jose to go away and the 9 million they gave to van gaal and the 7.5m they had to give to ole plus the signing bonuses and coaching staffs and all the rest of it
any idea what he did to get sacked, does seem weird that
I had no recollection of this. Thought Ashworth was a Woody old guard member. I know very little about the murky Utd power structure.
In more important news the alias Ruben Interim started doing the rounds on the interwebs and I think that's perfect.
bunch of recent changes in the exec team recently, so i expect it was probably a power struggle thing.
this dude probably wanted to filter the fm24 database using under 23, greater than 15 determination, greater than 15 passing and greater than 15 jumping reach, and some other higher up dude insisted on getting rid of jumping reach and replacing with greater than 15 balance, and one of them had to go
Some whispers that Salah is going to sign a new deal. Didn't think this was in any way a possibility 18 months ago but he seems to have no interest in going to Saudi and desperate to stay.
I’m…………utterly shocked and confused. It’s really making me question what INEOS are up to or how competent they are or aren’t. They bought into this club and have allowed the Glazers to stay as a majority shareholder, let’s not forget that.
All I can do is see how this plays out, but it does really make me wish that the full buy out had happened(and I was never in the pro-INEOS camp to begin with).
Dammit I just read it was Ashworth that wanted Southgate in, dream over.

Players aren’t fleeing to take massive money in Saudi Arabia as much either. While a team likely could cough up plenty of cash for Salah to go there, it’s really in Salah’s best interests commercially to stay at Liverpool while he’s still at this playing level. He’s the greatest Middle Eastern player ever and has a vastly higher profile playing for the most successful English club in European competition and will likely see Pool win the most English titles in his time with the club. How much does he gain/lose commercially by going to Saudi Arabia for another £300-400k p/w on top of what he makes? At this current level, he also clearly has years left before he goes to a retirement league for a fat stack of cash.
I am not quite sure how Brentford selling Toney and still being the league's top goalscorers can be a thing. Did they play both Manchester clubs twice already or something?
