On current form and pace, City are on course for a 86 pt season in the Prem and Haaland for 50 goals.

The past 6 years barring 20/21, the Prem has been won with 90+ pts. Haaland having 50 goals just means he’s taking goals from other players…all the “losing the Prem with a 50 a season goal scorer” talk kinda misses over the fact that a win is 3 pts. 1-0 or 11-2 is still 3pts…:yeshrug:

I think its more about the goals City are conceding than him taking goals away from others

Genuinely did have my doubts but Arsenal are a serious club again.

Not 100% sold on them winning the title, and it's lined up nicely with City/Liverpool dipping, but yeah, serious club. :lupe:
I'm still wary, because for the past few years our reddit has been filled with "Arsenal have the best record when ______" and we're still a 6-8th team

Pep gets the CL he is done. That's the only reason I see him hanging around.
I actually think City may go trophy less this season…they’re not winning UCL this year that much I can tell you. Prem I actually think Arsenal holds out.

I think United can pip em if they meet in the League Cup final.

Should probably wait till at least March before we can predictions like that. :hubie:
