I feel like this is a big opportunity missed. I'm not saying that Arsenal won't improve, because I think they will, but you caught United and Spurs at very good times in the season and I wouldn't bank on getting those points again next time. I also expect that the teams coming up next season...

Honestly closer to a red than a yellow and he didn't even get booked. Anthony Taylor really is clueless.

It's actually ridiculously over the top. He's being compared to some of the greats, but he's really more on the level of someone like Carrick except not as good on the ball. Nobody can tell me this City side wouldn't have won just as much with Carrick instead of Rodri in the team. He's...

This has been painfully obvious since Wan Bissaka's first game at left back. It only took conceding two last minute penalties and going however many games without a win for Ten Hag to spot it though. He's been giving me Smalling at right back vibes due to the poor level of passing and lack of...

If Amorim goes to West Ham then surely that frees up Moyes to complete the treble of managing the three big North West clubs. He was the only man big enough to fill SAFs boots, so replacing Klopp would be a doddle.

What happens when Newcastle United fan Michael Oliver is refereeing a Man City game in a few years in a game that could swing the title toward either City or Newcastle? Does he go with his heart and screw over his indirect employer, or does he simply continue to give City every decision going...

Of course they did. You might want to have a look at the other squads in England in 15/16. It wasn't as strong as later squads, but it was still easily better than any other English team. You also conveniently left out KDB, Toure, Fernandinho and Nasri who would have walked into any other team...

This discussion isn't about teams, this is about managers. That's the whole point. City have spent astronomical sums under the same manager with a world class set up and this is the main reason they are successful, not Pep. They won league titles under the likes of Mancini and Pellegrini as...

There are certain similarities I think. They are both excellent penalty takers, take plenty of shots from outside the box and get plenty of assists despite losing the ball frequently due to risky passes in the final third. They are risk takers and these days in football that's actually quite...

Nothing to do with the £1b he spent then? City already had the best squad in the England when he joined and then they spent absolutely ridiculous sums on to add to that. The season before Pep joined they made the CL semi final and only lost 1-0 over two legs to Madrid. It took them 5 years to...

Ferguson also won a European trophy by beating Real when he was managing Aberdeen. Nothing Pep has done comes close to that. United's CL run in 99 also pitted them against the likes of Rivaldo, Zidane, Ronaldo and Matthaus who were all probably better than United's best players. The fact...

I wouldn't mind a rule change so that a ball is not considered to have gone out of play until the ball has actually touched the ground. It's almost impossible for the refereeing team to actually judge whether a ball is out or not when it's in the air anyway. The best thing about this rule...

We could have signed two Cole Palmers for that amount. The worst thing about that transfer is that if we hadn't signed him, no other club would have even offered half that amount for him.

Will be interesting to see if he can keep this up. The possibility of no European football for Chelsea next season could be a blessing in disguise for him personally, as he won't have as much football in his legs as a lot of other top players. If Chelsea can find another billion to spend this...

The joy has been sucked out of the game thanks to refs and the media. They'd rather people were outraged every week to keep them engaged in the endless debate about VAR. The actual quality of the football on offer across the league is actually pretty poor, so they need to generate interest...
