Brentford managed to get a point against Arsenal today, big respect for doing that.
It is amazing to see that Arsenal conceded only 18 goals from 26 matches in Premier League 
Manchester City needs to push really hard if they want to get back on top, but now they have to think about FA Cup match.

Remember, Liverpool also beat Arsenal first,,, also from a setpiece to teach them how to concede without scoring themselves, so I guess Liverpool are full of contradictions 

Yeah, I mean it’s an incredibly disappointing season as a Liverpool fan but we really have to finish in the CL positions. Beating Sunderland keeps us in a good position to attack the last part of the season.

Chelsea have the worst fixtures out of the teams vying for 3rd, 4th and 5th which will qualify tor the CL.
I am still not confident about us making it but of course I have hope.

I heard Isak is back soon, but I guess your main issue is defence, Gomez looks like he's back. Strange you guys didn't get a loan or Academy player coming, I would do so straightaway.

Trust me tho,,, you guys are going to be top 3. I can feel it more than I can feel Spurs in top 10

Nottingham Forest Manager sacked,

Nottingham Forest must continue to pay compensation costs because the coach continues to be fired.

Saka and Ode back in the squad to boost the team. Havertz has also been good since his return but i much prefer Eze in that position when Ødegaard is not available. Important to pick up all 3 point tonight.

Unfortunately Gooners must be held to a draw Brentford this means the difference in points with Manchester City is getting closer, don't expect Gooners to miss again because however Pep Guardiola will continue to pursue trophies this season despite several poor performances.

I read that this depends on the terms of the agreement. They can have a one time severance package or reach a mutual agreement to end things with no payment.

Tough match at the Gtech, both teams had chances to win it at the end but had to settle for a draw. 12 matches to go, it is a must win to get 3 points in the early kick off at Wolves to put the pressure back on them.

Pretty dull week of FA Cup games. I barely had any motivation to watch Liverpool but got a nice treat in the end from the goal combo from Szobo and Salah (okay, Salah's penalty was a pen but he took it nicely anyway). Salah needs to learn he no longer can dribble... but his outside-foot crossing is still top class.

Re: coaches getting fired? I was talking on the Telegram chat that I'd love to be a low-level manager getting cycled through clubs. The compensation money is lovely. I'd cry on my sacking and wipe my tears with my cash.

That would be the most controversial hate-watch for me this season cause deep down I want to see you lose another points to throw the title race wide open and at the same time I'd love it for Gabriel to keep cleansheet for my FPL TC. But I don't mind losing FPL points to see you guys cry again anyway

Getting sacked must be a lucrative business, and some managers prefer getting sacked and compensated to staying at a place for a longer time. I want to think Mourinho and Conte are one of the richest managers with thier sack and compensation history.

The most prominent example was Amorim at United, who wanted the sack more than anything else and refused to reach a mutual arrangement with the club.

how are you guys doing in PL pool? I just looked at superbru table and saw that I'm finally in the top 10 this season for the first time😁 It hasn't been easy, but we all know how fast things can turn around and suddenly in the next round you've dropped 5 places😂The motivation is a little better now when i am in the top 10, but there are still many points left to win so there is still a long way to go

Those are certain 3 points for the boys, you 100% have to win matches like this to win the league at the end of the season and I fully expect the team to win that while keeping a clean sheet. Gabriel will gift you some FPL points against your will.

Good win today, only spoiled by yet another warm up injury to Cala. Even with his minutes being very closely managed he still picks up this niggles.

Bad for myself... imagine being 35th in the SuperBru Premier League pool and averaging less than 10 points per round, we know that Premier League matches are unpredictable so we make a lot of wrong predictions.

un_rank remains consistent at the top of the table.

Against Wolves for Gooners is too easy, at least they are still confirmed at the top.

Wolves are ass, they're the perfect team to statpad goals - take 3 points and give me Gabriel cleansheet points and I won't complain. Anything else, you're cooked.

I thought Timber was injury prone? How's he playing every game and not getting injured since he returned from the ACL injury. Danm it.

I expect none of that first leg jitters this time. Easy win and some early rotations to give players a rest before the North London derby. Tottenham would have rested for 12 days before that match, within which time we would have played 2 games, there is no way we match their fitness levels so we need to make the Wolves match as easy as possible for ourselves.

I did not follow him in the Dutch league. If he was injury prone he is not anymore and thankfully cause the load on White during that ACL injury took a big hit on his fitness, I hope the reverse does not happen to Timber at some point.

I just looked at his injury records at Aax and he was never an injury prone player; hee missed only 1 game due to injury and 3 games to due Covid 19 during the two seasons he spent at Ajax. I believe it was propaganda from some Arsenal fans who were opposed to the transfer, in order to undermine the scout team; they lied about his injury history, he got an early ACL, and we all believed them.
