PL 25/26

Well that didn’t take long for sacked Forest manger, Nuno, to get the West Ham job. He will now make West Ham very difficult to beat who are a club that likes to play attacking football so I wonder how long after he keeps them safe will the West Ham fans start calling for his head. Good guy hope he does well (except when they play Arsenal off course)

Fernandes has his penalty saved

Last time he missed earlier this season he blamed the ref

Today he will blame VAR for taking 3 minutes to look at the foul after the ref intitially gave it 

Palace were brilliant yesterday and would have been unlucky if the match finished a draw as they could have easily been 4 goals up by half time. Can they do a Blackburn or a Leicester and cause a huge upset by winning the title? If they stay clear of suspensions and long term injuries then they must have a small chance. They have now gone 18 matches unbeaten. They were 500/1 now 80/1 

Sunderland and Leeds bucking the trend that newly promoted clubs are canon fodder for the rest. Man City starting to hit form. 


 

Re the 6 subs comment, yes I agree with you CnC, and refs just don't help themselves. If you have a chance, try and watch former ref Clattenburg interview with GOAL, he comes off looking so bad, it is a cringe fest.

KARMA I say, West Ham fans hated Moyes for 'negative' football, so let's see how they will cry come the end of the season when Nuno keeps them up.

Palace are such a well coached team, and as you mentioned, with luck they could go far, will be interesting to see how they manage Conference League football as well, that may hurt their league form. Palace coach won't be there next season, surely a team like Man Utd should take a plunge and get him now?

Don't really understand what Arne Slot is doing at Liverpool. Won them the league with a 4-3-3, yet is tinkering with a 4-2-2-2 this season and Liverpool are so vulnerable on the transition. Then on the other end of the scale is Amorim who is sticking with his one dimensional tactics and refuses to change. If ever there was a manager who is asking for the sack...

After yesterday, I see Liverpool are now 13/10 for the league with Arsenal 15/10 and City 45/10. Leeds are 28/10 for relegation and Sunderland are 18/10, these new teams are showing so much fight, hopefully at least once can stay up and buck the yo-yo trend we have seen recently. 

VAR and anti Arsenal in a nutshell The ref, a self confessed Liverpool fan, awards Arsenal a penalty and VAR then convince him that it’s not. I give up 

Arsenal showed great character to keep going and get a vital win at Newcastle. 

 

Arsenal are going to win the league 

The thugs of Newcastle were at it again, kicking players off the ball, pulling shirts, punching in the face Pics don’t lie
