English Premier League 2024-25
2024-2025 EPL Preview
Man City have set another record with 115 charges of financial shenanigans and also managed to win a 4th PL title in a row becoming the first team to do so narrowly beating out arsenal who took it to the last day this year. They accomplished this by rattling off an absurd 33 games unbeaten in all competitions making it 6 titles in 7 years for the Citizens.

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?
Anytime we created something upfront we did something moronic. Defense resembled hints of United - both goals were clownshow goals. While Newcastle was organised, clinical and just bastards in defense. I would not dare say we were "better" in anything other than.....
You created an astronomical amount of chances and a lot of very good ones, you just missed them. Newcastle created very little (other than the goals) and at least one of the goals was an unlucky deflection.
Youve been meh or below meh in many games but I think describing this as one of them is just results orientated thinking tbh.
Still am not mad about it
At one point I thought it was going to be Potter to Ev and West Ham to hire another ginger low block merchant.
Everton's women's team just signed Emma Watson so Potter to their men's team makes sense

Well creating 3 xg worth of non-pen chances and not converting any, including a 1v1 and a header from 2 yards out is poor attacking performance.
Ballwatching the Newcastle cross + leaving Isaak alone. Then watching Isaak shoot between 3 defenders us shambolic.
Maybe I've just been treated so much better this season so far, with maybe like 3-4 poor showings.
Still cannot define yesterday's performance as good. Maybe compared to the early Arse/Lego Pep years. Then this would have been an exciting and brave showing.
For the sake of my mental health it still is
Hopefully Bentacur is alright, didn't look good
What happened there?
Didn't catch a replay but seemed to dive down low and plant his head into the ground.
Spurs fans thoughts on Bergvall? Has looked below this level whenever I've seen him.
Think we've been fine for an away first leg. Their pressing in our half has been excellent and we haven't really given up any chances from it. Feel like we will find the right pass at some point in the final third or they will gift us something.
Sky indicated he is conscious and talking (late to the game so didn't see what actually happened)

Kulusevski seemed to have talked with him. Also teammates were casually jogging staying warm, which is a good sign that they did not stand there watching in horror
Also a nice lol Alisson lol Porro combo there
no matter how long I've followed English football, I find myself googling every year if there are away legs/replays for the league/FA cup.
Never understood the point of having are all games leading to the semifinals of the league cup as direct knockout, the semis as away legs and the final as knockout.
Imagine a tennis tournament where it's best of 3 sets each round except the semis where it's 5
Def looked off but those VAR angles were shite. Lol wtf at the NFL announcement.
Congratulations to Solanke on becoming a quiz question

It used to be 2 legged in all rounds.
As I mentioned a few months ago, Liverpool played 13 matches to win the old Milk Cup in 1984.
In one round it was a draw after two legs and they had to have a replay.
The final also had a replay

It used to be the case that the first two rounds were two legged, and other rounds had replays. I guess they either think that a semi final is too high stakes a game for a team to have HFA, but it's too much of a ballache to try to find a neutral venue
Also lolplop
lol Bergvall should've had 2nd yellow, 10 seconds later he scores
Bergvall not getting a clear second yellow then immediately scoring is objectively funny. Surely even Liverpool fans agree?
City are spending another 150mill this window arent they?
