Premier League 2022/23

[remains]

The next four games could make or break our title challenge.

If we can beat Brighton & Newcastle somehow without GJ I'd fully back us from then, we'd be a good amount of points ahead of Newcastle if we beat them who are 2nd/3rd.

This guy thinks sprint speed is all there is to football I wonder why the greatest of all time wasn't Usain Bolt

It'd blow his mind to know the ball travels faster than players, I'm sure.

You should check that guy's TikTok, I think he's my new favourite Sp**s fan to be honest

Yeah, because Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta were all electric but they were obviously a rubbish unit as none of them could run 100m in 11 seconds.

Guys got proper 'Not allowed within 100 metres of the local primary school' vibe to him too.

Ødegaard is like Özil, he is deceptively quick.

Partey has a great mix of speed and power, imagine calling him slow when he watches Bentacurr and Hojiberg every week

Xhaka fair enough is quite slow, but has amazing energy levels which help make up for that.

All three are very good on the ball for us too, they are the main reason we are playing as well as we are and dominating games ...you have to be pretty ****ing stupid to not see/understand that.

Feels abit unfair this race, Arsenal against a City machine backed by billions down our throats. Now you appreciate how well Liverpool done to keep up with them for a few years.

They just look too powerful to me, we’ll probably need to get Mudryk, who the club clearly want AND Joao Felix I reckon, just to stay in any race.

Strange numbers.

Strange numbers.

Reminds me a bit of the Brexit vote. All the experts and polls said it would end in Remain easy. The betting odds suggested otherwise...

Agreed, it is unfair, Arsenal are clearly the 2nd best starting 11 in the league. Deep down some of us know it will take a Leicester type season where everything goes our way from injuries, refs and consistent over-performance to clinch the title purely because of City's resources.

Ideally shouldn't be that way but lets see. To me Arsenal have looked a bit better than City at points this season form wise.

I watched a bit of Leeds vs City and City barely had to get out of first gear to swat away Leeds 1-3. The one thing I will say is that their defence can be got at, I think we are stronger than them defensively. They are still favourites, I just don't see how we can maintain our current practice of using 12/13 players. We'll need pretty much everything to go right for us to go all the way. It's a tall order.

Agreed, although I would say this is true for any team to win the PL ahead of city. Like @GDeep™ said, it’s not fair, but it is what it is.

Was hoping Leeds would do better vs City, as they pressed the hell out of us at home. It was as easy as it gets for Pep, too bad.

They're ridiculously good.

Thought Leeds didn't look bothered, like they'd already conceded defeat.

Can he confirm if Thierry turns the TV back on now, when Granit is playing?

Surely a title race and securing CL football makes those investments a no brainer. Especially given Edu left it short after the last window which Mikel wasn't pleased with. Time to dip into the kitty.
