Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

[phcitywarrior]

The amount of money being poured into the championship and what is at stake makes it a far more competitive league than eredivisie.

I might need a resident English football expert to correct me if I’m wrong on this statement but in the past 10 years, hasn’t it been the same 7-8 clubs that mainly yo-yo in and out the Prem?

Soton, Burnley, Norwich, Watford, Sheffield etc

You think a breh just gonna get a job at Bayern without exceptional qualities? Germany doesn't have affirmative action.

Fair point on affirmative action but Kompany was Bayern’s 6th choice for manager. Hell, they went to Oliver Glasner before Kompany. Not exactly like they were chomping at the bits for breh.

unitl Vini Jr makes a decision about this Saudi offer.

Would Vini even go? I heard he’s not gonna take it.

Not surprised how we started: away from home with a weakened squad. So we were always gonna play cautiously.

I am surprised it has remained goalless so far. Martinelli offers absolutely nothing. Zero! Zilch!

We looked terrible. I told people, relying on Saka and Odegaard to be injury free again in a long season is bad squad building. Those two are the key to our goal scoring. Everyone else is a cog, they’re the engine.

Defensively it’s fine since we have 1000 quality defenders to choose from now, but our forward and midfield play is atrocious

Why did I think Arsenal fans were going to be objective about this? The referee is handing out yellow cards like it's candy on Halloween...

I’d throw the entire bag at Rodrygo in January.

 

[DapMeUp!]

We'll probably see how it goes for the next 15 then I expect

Martinelli>Sterling
Trossard>Jesus

That cuck would rather fight for his place forever at Real than take on a new challenge

The Championship is like top 5-6 in attendance in the world.

Parachute payments. Tom Brady The Double R's at Wrexham. The York family and Ferrell at Leeds.

How many teams you know got 25k+ stadiums in the 3rd tier? Elsewhere in the world?

I doubt Vini goes to Saudi. But feelings do get hurt in various ways.

I don't know if I can defend Martinelli anymore. I want to see him with Merino in the left 8, but let me see him run in the box like this 1 more time

Quinten was the victim when growing up between the two.

Bundesliga 2 teams play in some huge capacity stadiums as well.

Jorgi struggling out there but we don't really have another option.

 

[OneManGang]

I can’t watch another minute of Jorginho being aggressive, not getting the ball, then getting turned, then flabbily fouling. fukk this game really pissing me off

 

[MikelArteta]

Everyone gets a yellow
