Arsenal are really on the cusp of bottling this title race.
No surprise to me. That amazing Liverpool squad only managed to conquer City once in the title race, I couldn’t see Arsenal sustaining it. Even without Europe to contend with.

City are just so relentless

Liverpool tonight reminded me of the Sharks this arvo, concentration lapses and attitude almost cost them (again), but 2 points today and 3 points tonight =a great weekend.

Nagelsmann has both withdrawn from talks with Chelsea about the vacant manager job. Chelsea have also ended negotiations with Luis Enrique. Pochettino is now the favourite.

Bad luck Brighton, they’re one of my favourite teams to watch this year but United did what they had to do. I feel bad for Solly March but someone had to miss eventually. Manchester derby for the FA Cup final, can’t wait because even though I didn’t think the EFL Cup should of run this year, a domestic cup double with hopefully a top 4 finish in ETH’s first year would be fantastic for him and the team. Absolute monster task to take down City though, especially with the injury issues United have now but they’ve beaten City once this year, they can do it again.

Saliba has been an absolute knockout blow of a loss for them, they’re defence is night and day without the Saliba/Gabriel combination. Just dont think Holding is up to scratch at the moment.

Sheffield United just secured promotion back into the Premier League, joining Burnley who also secured the Championship title this weekend.

Yeah, no surprises how they did it, beating a woeful West Brom who are now really at long odds to make the playoffs.

And I'm actually happy if we don't, there is no way we would survive a season in the EPL with our present squad. The owner owes us money, the CEO is an idiot who knows nothing about recruitment and nor does the recruitment team. The manager Carlos Corberan is good though but not sure what chance he has of getting good players in with our present financial situation and it is highly likely we'll be docked points next year for the financial mess we are in.

Yeah mate, I'm sure we're not the only club that goes through this but unless there are massive changes at the top, there are fears Albion could end up in League 1 before you know it. And that's not where they should be, being a foundation club.

Yeah I’d definitely prefer your position but it would be a bit of a bottle job not to seal top 4 from where you were
