General Premier League Thread 2024-25

It’s bad enough thay Arsenal have had to play their full team, but to then maybe lose as well isn’t going to be great for morale.
I like Evanilson. I think Arsenal could do a lot worse than take a good look at him.

Well….that is not ideal, they have to make Weds worth that.

City with Southampton, Fulham and Bournemouth to come

Arsenal with Liverpool, Newcastle and Southampton

City's games on paper look more winnable, though Arsenal will be playing a Liverpool with nothing to play for I guess

Southampton could yet end up the worst Premier league team statistically ever; Derby ended with a goal difference of - 69, Southampton are currently on - 57, but, have 3 really difficult fixtures against Man City at home, then Everton away and finally Arsenal at home on the last day of the season. They could well ship 3 heavy defeats there, enough to end with a worse goal difference; City have picked up form lately and still need to confirm CL spot, Everton's last game at Goodison, so they will want to go out on a high and Arsenal could also inflict a big defeat.

I didn’t realise how many of them now absolutely despise Odegaard

Liverpool B team vs Chelsea A team

A lot of players these days don't drink much or not at all so I doubt the Liverpool players were on the piss all week. I'd say they'll go hard but maybe be a bit more careful going into hard tackles like they normally would. I'd still fancy a Liverpool win.

Brentford playing the Star Wars theme pre-match.

I remember Man City hammering a drunk Liverpool after Liverpool won the league a few years ago.

Hopefully they are drunk again today as it's the only way we will beat them. If we can't beat a drink team....

Newcastle love a dive.

Pen overturned. Card dished out to Willock

Can probably forgive him the 2nd one, and it's good that VAR has stepped in. To be fair, he rolled back. First one never really looked inside the area, so he was a little quick to give Anthony Gordon the benefit.

That name alone should put doubt in your mind as to whether anything is a foul to begin with.

ManU getting a thumping. Used to it by now surely.

How one team with a GD of 6 and another with something like -10 are in contention for a CL spot next season is ridiculous.
