Looks like it'll be a big 5 this season unless United pull their finger out. There's a gulf in class between those 5 and the rest of the teams in the league.

Arsenal look absolutely brilliant, don't know whether that's just because its Bournemouth though.

:rolleyes:

Can't we have a "nobody cares about your fantasy team" rule in all threads except the FPL one?

Feck me, when did Arsenal become good? Looks like we will have to go it alone as the official banter club this season.
They’ve been making incremental progress for a while and their recruitment has been good.

Arsenal seem to have mastered beating the rest of the league. If they can manage getting some points off the top 6, who knows what they might fluke even with Lego Pep in charge. Heck, even our P.E..teacher managed to get us second and nearly win the Europa League.

Irrrelevant really.
Clearly not. I'm not defending it but that's the reasoning.

Same with Mendy who was being played while under investigation. As no one knew who it was City kept playing him until he was officially named.

We'd have undoubtedly done the same with Greenwood had it not broke so publicly.

:lol:

They look decent, but be realistic. Bournemouth are absolute bottom feeders, Leicester are in total shambles and they were really, really jammy to beat Palace.

Funny how whole thing around Arsenal turned out, specially looking down in here last few years, same goes for manager.

Everyone talking up Arsenal needs to wait and see how they do once the Europa League starts. That’ll be the big test for their squad.

Did we seriously only sell Palhinha for 20M?

How did Bournemouth get promoted last season, they are so poor.

Arsenal's shape is really good and as long as they don't lose possession in the center of the pitch when they are pushed up, they'll be fine.

The big units upfront for Bournemouth don't have enough pace or individual skill to score without a bad mistake by Arsenal.

Zinchenko and Jesus are great signings. Utrd should have been all over both those players but equally important fort Arsenal is Martinelli finally being back to where he was pre injury. He is playing like Rashford in his best days, giving them superb penetration.

Legally is exactly the same.

United chose to immediately suspend whilst both City and Arsenal have ignored it.

They will just tank the EL. If the reward is the CL they are already looking strong enough to make it through top 4 so there is no need to go full strength in EL.

I hope we keep going and score more, don't want a Palace like game if they score out of nowhere.

We've had a fairly easy start too.

This is typical caf though. Overhype a rival after a few good results and then go too far in the other direction after a few bad results.
