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?
Going out of the FA cup against this United... Still unacceptable
Lads, its lolutd
We weren't good today (the base of midfield may as well not be there at times) but **** me were Utd even worse.
The Derby of Disappointment did not in fact disappoint in how disappointing it was.
Leeds/Sunderland should be fun tomorrow. Part of me says home win just to further pad the gap between the top two and everyone else, but part of me says rokerites get a point somehow then we can stick the knife in a week tomorrow and go for the title
I’m sure he thought he was getting a head start on the rebuild by joining mid season, but I wonder if Amorim regrets not calling United’s “now or never” bluff because he 100% could have told them to wait for him.
He looks totally miserable already.
Antony has been named man of the match in all three of his La Liga games so far lmao
Oh it's fan voted, probably an element of trolling going on but apparently he's been very good
I mean to be honest, having a very solid defence is a good starting point. If you've got a good foundation that'll keep you in most games, then going with a strat of spunking eight figures on a one year rental of a PL quality striker wouldn't be the most ridiculous plan. It wouldn't need to turn 1 point into 3 that often to get them to 17th and pay for himself, then you can work on longer term creativity later with the additional year of TV money + 3 years parachute payments as opposed to 2 in t
I agree with a bunch of this and Burnley would still have the parachute payment coming in from last year. But if they go up while having a hard time scoring in the Championship, it won’t be a fun experience in the Premier league (though the ££££ will be worth it to Yo-Yo).

He has scored 3 in 3 so far and, whilst I haven't seen the others, this one was pretty good!

I doubt it would be any less fun than last season after going up as the Championship's top scorers under Kompany.
Translation: I'm sitting on my ass and collecting my pension whilst feeding the embryonic gut that you can already see developing this photo unless you can persuade the Saudis to give me a pay rise.
He was great for Real but they let him go at exactly the right moment
and even got €70m for a 30 year old player

His first MoM was his debut where he didn’t score. From the highlights I saw he was terrible so it was definitely a troll vote.
Think he has been decent in his last 3 games. He seems to have some enjoyment for the game back which is nice to see really.
Would be a shame if the United overpay destroyed him totally.
Think we can guess where this guy's going.
WTF is that?
lol sunderland
Scenes!!
I was about to say I'd reluctantly take a point.
That was massive.
Further proof, if any was needed, that xG is bollocks.
in other news, cracking game at Elland Road.
Edit. FU Sunderland
Most anyone in the analytics community has 0 respect for that account and it's basically a narrative wind up merchant/clock bait.
xG is still easily the best predictive and descriptive stat available for team quality.
what are CHE's current odds of finishing in the top 5 of the standings?
i google'd but couldn't find anything
