Well its a tough race for Newcastle still but at least now they are giving them hard time to big-6 on the table. They have become a strong team and have performed consistently. Maybe in couple of years they will win the title - bit doubtful but they are on road to become a strong club if they go like this. It's a good development for them and honestly I didn't thought with the change of ownership things will take such a steep turn and quickly too for them. They last won PL title in 1926-27 season so that's almost like a century. (Upon checking this fact, now I am kinda rooting for Newcastle  )

If the injuries gets to some of the crucial members then I think things might become a bit hard for Munich. We saw how Bayern struggle couple of months ago and we will be watching them going on with same struggle after the conclusion of World Cup then. PSG on other hand a very big squad compared to Bayern so I think they will be able to handle it but Munich might struggle as they lack options in certain positions but I don't know about adaptability of certain players so maybe they will be able to adjust accordingly. Nagelsmann is a smart manager and I think he will do well if situations like this happens after World Cup.

Well its tough to say. If there aren't any interest in him then likely he will have to go to a team outside of Europe if that is the only kind of offers he is receiving in the next transfer window. He feels coach and players kind of disrespected him and that is why he pulled out this interview card. Yeah lot of big clubs will be hesitant now and will be aware of his attitude but I think something good will come up at the end. Right now things doesn't looks good at all for Ronaldo. He has this WC ahead now and a very good chance to prove himself right that problem was United and not him.

Things are not out of hand for Liverpool. They can get into top 4 still but could prove to be difficult if Newcastle also remains consistent like you said. However they have good chance to takeover Spurs position as they haven't been consistent lately. Also after the WC, they will have players return from injury for the PL games.

I agree with @abhiseshakana, WC also might affect lot of players with fitness. It is a tight schedule and can affect lot of teams for sure. The ones with good density in positions within the team will be able to survive though. For example like City, Arsenal, Spurs, Newcastle. What matters is how much quality they have in as backup options.

Simeone is the longest serving coach in LaLiga - No doubt he is a good manager. People complain because he uses a defensive approach but that's usually differs from clubs to clubs. Well Simeone has his own style of playing things with a rock solid defense and a decent attack to surprise in counters. Now this has already worked wonders for example the Knockout CL game against Liverpool where they send Klopp complaining about it but that is also part of football. Yeah maybe this season they need to sharpen their attack but I never would call Simeone a problem or his methods outdated. Sometime it may not work but at times it can send heavyweights flying for sure.

I think he was kind of fed up of situation inside the club. It isn't just ten Hag, its everybody he dragged in that interview except few players. Yeah kinda knows about consequences but feels that it is better to move out of the club also. I also kinda agree things need to change at United. Definitely not the way it was used to when Ferguson was there.

As of now it is pretty clear that Ronaldo playing for United seems highly unlikely. Yeah there will be lot of interest on him still but doubt that it will be something that will give the story or the satisfy him with achievements playing for the club. He did said that if Portugal were to win the WC he will retire so definitely he is looking for a glorious achievement to end his career. It's gonna be tough for him after the World Cup. January transfer window will decide but I doubt interests from big European teams.

Potter needs time and the fact that he come in the middle gives him little room to work on. I think he doesn't have the players he need yet. Chelsea were reported to have faith in Potter and I think he is safe as of now. They need a striker and they have already in progress with Nkunku for next season. This season, I think they will wobble.



I think its only Nkunku as things stand and I think that's also enough. I mean why do they need two strikers for? Maybe need some additions in wing but I feel they also have decent players in wing. If they can sell some and bring in new players then that would be good.

After so many years this is the team and the coach I believe in would make us see Gunners winning trophy. I think they are doing great. They have beaten almost everybody except for United who did played well and had a good plan in that fixture. I think we are gonna do well and will be consistent but it's the big games like game against City about which I am worried about. Of course if City drop more points then not an issue but likely is that they won't then it's gonna create lot of pressure for Gunners before facing City.

Yes, Ferguson might still show some support but he also knows what Ronaldo did was wrong. It was going for war against the club by going out public. Besides Ronaldo also knows that his chances of ever playing for United is close to none. About Ferguson I think he will be bit inclined towards the club because these things aren't meant to go out public. Yes maybe their infrastructure is not good or someone is plotting against him to make him out of favour from the regular squad but these things can be discussed behind the doors of a player has issue with that.

Yeah they are doing great and playing great football. Still lot of players has lost their playing minutes but the result and form is what matters in the end. Liverpool are doing better now, and I expect to get consistent again after WC.  Chelsea on other hand might wobble until they get a proper striker and some strong defenders. Right now they don't like a title contending team.  It's gonna be interesting after the WC between these teams on the table.

I think it will be United without Ronaldo is what we are gonna see likely. Lot of players and staff are seeing this as kind of disrespect going public about it and I think this is gonna hard for Ronaldo when World Cup ends.

It will be Martial or Rashford leading the attacking line but I am sure they are completely gonna leave Ronaldo out until he comes and apologize maybe (?).  Having Ronaldo didn't have them much impact this season so I think they think they are gonna do fine without him.

Yeah not a consistent goalscorer but we have seen some young talents get 70m easily although they are not upto that level- Alexander Isak. He may be not in the 70m mark worth but for the club it is as he is their crucial player upon which they rely heavily. I am sure that he will find some interest still. There are lot willing to pay that mark for a young striker like him.



Yeah that sounds like a plan. But I think either it will be Mbappe or they will stay quiet in the market. In 1-2 years they will have lot of names in their shortlist for that position.

Yeah what a moment for Garnacho. There have been quite some talks about this young player and he showed today what he can do. Great pace and he really can do moments like this just when United needs him. Although starting him would also help him get some experience. Fulham played well and I think if they had Mitrovic in their lineup then the game would have been more difficult. Glad to see a young potential rising at United.

Didn't knew you were talking about major trophies, if so then yeah its been quite a time and  actually it does require lot more than a squad to win such title and honestly we didn't have a proper squad or anything to challenge anything major if we talk about 3-4 years ago or maybe more. This time I think we have waited long and so far seems to be going towards the right way. Don't want to know about City or anything but just for a change it will be nice to see Arsenal to winning the title in the end.



Well I am not surprise. City are dominant every season and bookmakers and inclined towards that. With teams like Liverpool and Chelsea performing poorly, they don't see a close competition maybe in favorites to win the title maybe. I still think for Arsenal it is a tough job. Yes they are leading right now but to keep up with the gap needs consistency and we have to be consistent 90-95% of the remaining matches.

Yeah there is lot going on around club ownership but as long as its for the best for club it has to be done. Right now club needs a good money to be poured in for some new transfers. Klopp can do wonders with Liverpool as he has shown in the past but now he need new players to strengthen certain areas which are becoming a concern for Liverpool lately. Hope the air about ownership gets cleared soon as I feel only then they can really focus on bring the players they actually want.

Klopp is trying to bring young players slowly into the game. Now they will not go onto the pitch and perform like what Mane did or what Milner did but I think it takes time to settle in and come upto the level at which they can perform the best for Liverpool. Players like Eliott, Tsimikas , Nunez, Curtis Jones, are great talent but they will need a lot of guidance and advices, their own way of doing things. Right now they all are pretty ordinary but with experience they can definitely stand out from rest of the players in future.

Although I do feel that Liverpool board needs to allow some funds to get in some players. They still lack in some areas.

Aah, brings back that memory. Starting game of the season and United were defeated by Brentford.. at home was it? I think everyone understimates Thomas Frank and his team but in fact they are a great football team. They certainly do deserve a place in Premier League. They have lot of good players in attack like Mbeumbo, Toney, Da Silva and also are good in counter-attacks putting all pressure on the defence.  Obviously, they will be frustrated as they were playing all-out till the end and just one mistake costed them the whole 3 points.

There we go... Thanks Brentford.  

City who maintains possession and high line often welcomes lot of risk. Counter-attacking is the great way to break City's defence find the net. For a great counter attacking side like Brentford, they seemed to had a plan and executed that well enough to get 3 points off from the game. The second goal was kinda dicey. De Bruyne had to make a difficult choice- either to make a challenge and win the ball and continue with the attack OR just wait for the player to get in control and put pressure on him which in turn will delay things a bit. With 3-4 minutes one on the clock it was a difficult one and Brentford did great job to find that goal.

Now Arsenal have the chance to increase the gap to 6 points. Just perfect before WC starts but hope Gunners defeat Wolves.

Arsenal last won FA Cup 2019-2020 one when they faced Chelsea and defeated them 2-1. IIRC I think it was the first season of Mikel Arteta as well. So since then board had quite some trust on Arteta from there on. Yeah CL ticket seems to be the likely target but given how we are playing, it seems we want to go for the big one - PL trophy this season. It's not difficult, just need a bit more hard work and consistency.
