Greatest League in the World 2025 [LOI Thread]

A period of complete Pats domination is on the horizon, similar to Kennys Dundalk. No one else is close to Kennys management at this level, and Pats are already the best team in the league by considerable ease, and will only get better.

Dismantled Shels all over the field, and on another day, Shels wouldn't of got two outrageous goals to rally behind, and would have been soundly beaten. As it happened, Pats should of been out of sight, but Shels were robbed in the end.

This is all only going one way though. Don't see how anyone gets close to Pats in the coming years. Shels, if they regroup, and further improve and Duff stays, could possibly put in a challenge, but need more potency consistently.

One of the reasons I felt Shels would win this year, was because they had direction, worked harder than anyone else, carried belief. All the strenghts I attributed to Shels, Pats now have too, but play far better, quicker and more dangerous football. Theres' a confidence and swagger in this Pats teams now, aligned with hard work, playing for each other etc.

No, no reverse psychology. I'd back a team every year heavily, backed Shels this year. Italy for Euro 21 etc. Will be backing Pats next year, and like Shels this year, there will be value on them. Think about it logically, Dundalk were winning the league with 2.5 points per game averages, Pats will improve further, and tbh, aren't all that far off that standard. That puts them ahead of Rovers, even at their best. I know what I seen from them in Tolka, a well drilled team, working for each other, with lightning pace and their ball playing and chemistry starting to sync. They will literally run away with it.

So no reverse phscology at all, and tbh, Shels may well be their closest challenge. People think since Shels form dropped off a cliff, we're seeing the real Shels now. We actually seen the real Shels in round 1. A well oiled machine, bulldozing through teams, like Chelsea under Mourinho. When they regroup before next season, may get back there.

People laugh, but the bug in the Shels camp in the second round of games, really effected momentum. Actually took 3 weeks to run through the whole camp. By then, confidence down and momentum gone. Hard to get that back. They actually did though, then Jarvis and Molloy left, and again had to change how they played. But if Shels can regroup, and get back to where they were during the first round of games this year, could put in a challenge.

I just say it how I see it, said all season Rovers and Derry are no good. But what I'm seeing from Pats lately, is different level stuff. Right now are already by far the best team in the league, have just left it too late. But starting from next year, should run away with it tbh. Ill be sticking 3 or 400 on them tbh. You'd think youd get at least 8/1 on them.

This isn't just a good run of form from Pats. You can see the structure and direction from management. They're only going to get better, and Kenny has the financial backing. There's a period of Pats domination on the horizon tbh
