City just get consistent at the end of the season and usually it's (just) enough. That seems to be the key thing. Last month I didn't see Arsenal dropping any points, they were slick af.
For those who accuse the Prem of being a one-horse race, IIRC, I think the earliest city have won a title is week 33 of 38? Many of them are last-day-of-the-season jobs. The Covid season, LFC just got out of the blocks like Ben Johnson and it was all over by Christmas. Seriously.
There was nothing sweet about the Agüeroooo season either. Spend 93 minutes and 20 seconds of a game lamenting the fact that your team has bottled it against Joey fucking Barton et al, and Un*ted are there rubbing their hands to scoop the title. The few seconds until the end were just a continuation of that numbness.
Shout out to the one Barton doe - without his antics, there wouldn't have been extra time.
Well, I think Arsenal lost the league at the beginning of the season when Arteta was experimenting with playing Partey at RB(wtf), dropped Gabriel from the heart of defence, and insisted on playing Havertz week in, week out. We had the kind of slow start you can’t afford against Citeh, and while Havertz did finally come good, I can’t forget all the games it felt like we were playing a man-down. Consecutive 2nd place against the best team of the last two decades… and auf wedersehn to Klopp. Has been a brilliant season all told. Roll on the euros.
Congrats to the one SHEARS for the SS Fatnasty title. Obviously the league will still run when The Strut sees the sun go down, but there will be no banter here.
How about someone doing a Subreddit for Soulstrut? I don't have the power.
4 in a row is incredible. Pep will be gone after next season and City will be behind Arsenal, deffo. But always room for a "Ruining the league" post:
Also... There was no FFP until City won the lottery. So I want a thorough investigation into all previous winners, etc. etc. Asterisk man going to have a heart attack.
The Brasil vs. Costa Rica game which was held here in Los Angeles reminded me of the Arsenal vs Manchester friendly coming up. Worth the $100 ticket, even for seats in the nosebleeds?

only if you really want to see either of those teams. Pre-season friendlies are tepid affairs, and you're not even guaranteed to see the top players in action. A regular season game at LAFC for around $50 is probably a much better value, IMO. But $50 is still a lot to pay for an MLS game...
I spent most of that England vs Slovakia game wondering if a manager has ever been sacked during a game. Would still be happy to see him sacked before England play Switzerland.

Start Cole Palmer and put him out wide on the right. Make sure Trent is out wide. This means they (the opposition) have to mark out wide - otherwise everyone ignores Trippier because he's not a threat. Staying wide opens up space for Foden and Bellingham to do their stuff. They are not head-down players.
If they play everyone in the middle of the park, we don't have a Rodri/Modric/David Silva/Gundogan that can route the right pass under pressure. These head-down, see-all players are like rocking horse shit and we ain't got none, guv. Sailor V. Not unless someone persuades Paul Scholes to come back.
Going out on pennos after a 0-0. I might stick a 10 spot on it. I feel like it's shorting the British economy, but unlike the Tories, there's something in it for me that way and not Crispin Odey.

Remember Un*ted winning 8 of the first 11?
We cheat when we want

Also Phil will have no idea of how to play on the counter.
