Still think this is Arsenal's year. Gritty performance without their starting central midfield at Spurs. Plus with the FA hearing starting this week if they get found guilty hard to imagine no points deduction associated with it. Still a big if, since the Qatari's have unlimited amounts of money and soccer is rife with corrupt officials.

9/16/2024 2:43:09 PM

^Qataris??? Must mean PSG

9/16/2024 4:15:07 PM

No late Gundog magic tonight despite two close-range chances. Nil-nil finish.

9/18/2024 4:54:54 PM

I told my buddy to parlay the 3 big favorites. Figures the one time I kinda have something in it for City, they lay an egg

9/18/2024 10:40:22 PM

Wild game. I thought it would be more like a 0-0 draw!

9/22/2024 1:39:42 PM

Haaland finally shows up for a big match. City still on course to become Invincibles.

9/22/2024 2:37:01 PM

Huge loss for city. This column put Rodri as top player in the league.

9/23/2024 11:41:21 AM

bad times with that last second score, but I think Arsenal has what it takes to get to the top spot.

Losing Rodri hurts, but I trust that Pep will work his usual magic.

Quote :

"A Rodri-less City, based on this small sample size dating back to last year, win 63 per cent of their games, compared to 76 per cent when he is present from the start."

9/23/2024 6:02:43 PM

Last season that would have dropped you from 1st to 3rd

I think Liverpool and Arsenal would be thrilled to see city win 13% fewer games

9/23/2024 7:31:56 PM

Pep will learn from the mistakes in those games and adapt and maybe add a replacement in January.

9/24/2024 5:58:22 PM

City better hope that Arsenal and Liverpool don't take advantage of Rodri's absence, it won't be a matter of Pep adapting, Rodri does so much for City he is a huge loss.

9/25/2024 11:23:10 AM

Pep just casually going to the window to find a replacement for the best player in Europe.

9/25/2024 11:52:50 AM

We've weathered storms without KDB several times. You should know by now not to doubt Pep or Man City's resolve.

9/25/2024 12:12:45 PM

City's arrogance will ultimately be their undoing. KDB is good in attack but that team runs through Rodri their absences are not the same. Also Arsenal and Liverpool are not the same and have made improvements. If Arsenal can stop kicking the ball away and not get players sent off they may very well have won at the Etihad.

9/26/2024 12:05:13 PM

So you expect Arsenal to stop doing Arsenal things when the going gets tough? For whatever it's worth, the Opta supercomputer still likes City's chances of winning the league.

Quote :

"But not Opta. Despite Rodri's injury, they still offer Man City a resounding 79.2% chance of lifting the title come May, with their rivals Arsenal handed just a 14.4% chance of disrupting City's dominance. It doesn't read well for Gooners, but it's worth remembering that predictions can change swiftly."

9/27/2024 6:13:17 PM

Still invincibles in all comps, but draws are stacking up

9/28/2024 9:43:17 AM

Cole Palmer already has a hat trick in the first 31 minutes. 5 goals between Chelsea and Brighton after 34 minutes.

9/28/2024 10:35:28 AM

4 for Palmer before halftime!!!

9/28/2024 10:42:18 AM

Liverpool looked terrible in the 2nd half today

10/5/2024 1:16:13 PM

Speaking of looking terrible?

Tuchel is the new England manager. Solid hire, until they face Germany.

10/16/2024 3:32:48 AM

Quote :

"There have been some doubts from England supporters and media outlets over Tuchel’s German nationality and his ability to take the Three Lions forward. Reacting to those views, Tuchel said: “I am sorry that I have a German passport.""

10/16/2024 10:25:03 AM

Just curious as to which manager the English fans would have been happy with. They hated Southgate, they really hated Carsley. So which English manager would they have preferred to Tuchel who was probably the best person available for the job?

10/16/2024 1:18:39 PM

Most of what I've seen comment wise from English fans is positive, can't make everybody happy obviously. Seems like a solid hire to me.

10/16/2024 2:06:58 PM

They will be sound defensively, probably means TAA will not be the 1st choice RB.

10/16/2024 2:29:39 PM

The ones that are unhappy about it are just the standard xenophobes. Tuchel has done well in the past. Its not like it is the first time that the FA has hired a foreign manager. Yeah, he's German, but he also has a reputation to uphold as a world class manager. What better proof of his capability would it be for him to actually win something with the one team that hasn't one anything in 60 years?

10/17/2024 11:18:06 AM

Arsenal top of the (red cards received) table

10/19/2024 2:17:17 PM

Every Wolves player suddenly has cramps in the final 10 minutes.

10/20/2024 10:44:58 AM

There's only one Jamie Vardy. Info below is not from the most reliable site, but there's video of him taunting Southampton fans while all his teammates celebrate with the Leicester fans.

Quote :

"Vardy scored a goal from the penalty spot; while celebrating, he taunted some Southampton disabled supporters. Reacting angrily to Vardy's taunts, some of them jumped off their seats to deal with Vardy."

10/20/2024 4:08:46 PM

I'll take the point away!

10/27/2024 2:41:27 PM

United starts November in 14th place. You hate to see it

10/28/2024 4:46:57 AM

Big Sam in to steady the ship at United?

10/28/2024 8:22:23 AM

I think this is fifth team in the last year to sack their manager right before their next league game with Chelsea.

Hopefully with a league cup tie midweek will erase the new manager bounce on Sunday.

10/28/2024 11:03:38 AM

I bet Ronaldo is celebrating in Riyadh right now.

10/28/2024 3:54:43 PM

yeah he is

10/28/2024 4:00:23 PM

But not tonight. He missed a last-minute penalty, and his team crashed out of the King's Cup.

10/29/2024 5:59:00 PM

Tottenham have outdone themselves in the most Tottenham way possible. Lose to Crystal Palace on Sunday then beat Man City a few days later.

10/31/2024 1:27:36 PM

All the best teams made it to the quarters!

10/31/2024 1:52:18 PM

^Looks like someone was drunk early on Halloween.

11/1/2024 6:03:27 PM

Was it Pep drowning his sorrows??

11/1/2024 9:02:09 PM

Does MLS go on year round? I feel like yall are all the time talking about games. No off-season?

11/1/2024 9:17:39 PM

We are discussing English soccer not MLS, but yes English/European soccer have a very long season, early August to late May, plus teams play America or other exhibition maps over the summer. Some players have complained about this schedule/match count, such as the player that just won European POTY and tore his ACL shortly after his comments.

11/1/2024 10:03:17 PM

Pretttty good day!

11/2/2024 12:58:12 PM

Also, gross:

Only saving grace from today is that Nottingham Forest is above Arsenal on the table. It's 1979 all over again. "Alexa, play 1979 by Smashing Pumpkins."

11/2/2024 3:01:28 PM

All the good teams won in UCL today!

Best Manchester based coach won today!
