⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

[Berry2d]

I am one of those guys that doubt the resolve of this arsenal team because they always crumble under pressure, but this season, even though they showed some trait of crumbling, they are still in a better position to win both the English premier league title and the uefa champions league trophy.

For a team as arsenal that's doing everything right apart from winning trophies, it's just certain that at the right time the trophy will come and though it's already looking like we're celebrating the trophy or rather trophies too early, coming this far is even enough reason why we should celebrate arsenal.

We can't even start to imagine that with this open check that's in Thier hands that they will let it slip off expecially the premier league but then, this is football and expecially in a knockout game like the champions league finals, we can only hope that everything works out well for arsenal.

Arsenal are going to win the League, I doubt they will ever be this fortunate to win the league again.

City have been far inconsistent to get pass them even when they mess up. I don't expect them to be pressurised now, it is more likely they are going to win the league and so they will be excited and also give their all in order to make this a reality.

You don't need to be too fast in predicting the league trophy in favour of Arsenal even as they are more favourite to win the trophy now based on there performance and points difference between them and  there rivals for now. Before this time, Arsenal was considered the most consistent and fortunate team to win the tournament but what changed and how it changed is what i can't tell till now but all I can say is know matter how fortunate one may think Arsenal is now, they can still disappoint in critical moments.
If that your prediction can end as predicted above, let us just wait and hope for the end to justify

[Issa56]

In my opinion I think the premier league is over the day Manchester City decided to drop point to Everton. I know that this is football and everything is possible,  but I don't see Arsenal messing things up at this point and if we want to.

I don’t think the premier league is over yet, let’s wait till the last match is played. Before Manchester city played their last game against Everton, did you believe they going to play draw in the match? I don’t really think people will expect Manchester city to draw the match, but we saw what happened, Manchester city played draw in the match, and they could only get just 1 point in the match, which is really a sad one for them.

I don’t expect Arsenal to lose any of the matches that they are having left, but you know when it comes to football, anything can happen, Arsenal can also disappoint us, we are use to Arsenal disappointment already, so am not just going to be surprise if Arsenal ends up losing points in the matches that they are having left.

so like I said earlier Arsenal should be ready to celebrate the premier league very soon.

Let’s wait and see if they will be able to celebrate soon. Arsenal is not a team that am always having confident in, they might start misbehaving.

One of the biggest factor that can make Arsenal bottled this advantage they have is there qualification to the Champions League final, I think that EPL fixture before the final match will be the one Arsenal is going to bottle because of there taste for the final. And with Pep's statement, I don't feel that last match outcome is affecting his zeal to win next matches. The matches are not yet over so it's still early to draw a conclusion as you said.

[LUCKMCFLY]

What if Carrick start and things doesn't go well? I'm just joking. You know, if you don't test some things in football, you will not know how to adjust. Manchester United saw the signs very early but they didn't take quick actions, I still don't know or probably they were trying to do what they did with Erik Ten Hag maybe the magic would have work this time around but it never. Glad they did and they have seen the result of their earlier actions.

However, even if they change from the beginning, I don't think their place in the table might really change. The best we might see them on the table is been ahead of Manchester City, they can't takout Arsenal unless they might want to play the Premier League without any loss and if we judge them by their performance, we know it's not possible. Good to see his Champions League appearance if they allow him and may be prove everyone wrong next season.

Well yes, you're right, we'd have to see what would have happened, but it doesn't hurt to imagine a little for the sake of hope. I think MU learned its lesson; now they have to treat CXarrick like a pretty little girl, giving him everything he asks for so he settles in and stays there at MU for a very long time. I love seeing a team play well, just like they have been doing; they deserve all the recognition in the world. Even though they need to score goals, they're doing wonderfully. I hope to see them in the UCL.

I was always saying that, the difficulties Arsenal have for the remaining games they have, is the same with that of Manchester City, when the both teams had equal points, some persons already gave the the victory to Manchester City, painting a situation that it was only Arsenal that would drop points, that they've been inconsistent in their last few games, and i said, this same uncertainty also count's for Manchester City and now i was vindicated with their draw against Everton, they nearly even lost that game.

[Mate2237]

The reason why most people were saying that Manchester City was the favorite to winning the league when both teams were equal in points was simple, Arsenal was having about a nine points lead at a point in the league. Which gave them the full control over the league, but suddenly Arsenal was losing it by throwing all those points lead away by dropping points and allowing Manchester City to catch up with them on the same points.


So everyone thought Arsenal has lost the title. The reason is because Arsenal has been use to inconsistency in the past so trusting them in this type of situation were unlikely. Besides no body expected that City were going to drop points considering the way they club back to the top of the table.

[tygeade]

They get 1 point but still it is a loss for Manchester City because now the gap will be back in terms of points and this is an advantage for Arsenal.
This season everything is difficult to predict well, Arsenal are far ahead even the gap is almost 10 points in the middle of the season but towards the end of the season their points are exactly the same and when Manchester City are again the championship favorites especially their points are balanced only goal productivity determines they also lose the moment and now they have to hope Arsenal don't do well in their remaining 3 matches in the EPL.

I will enjoy whatever happens but for the current champions it looks like the probability returns to Arsenal especially with a 2 point gap and even that can happen if Manchester City can get a win in their 1 postponed match.

When we are talking about only 2-3 games left into the end of the season and they just have to win the games that Arsenal wins, like if Arsenal wins all, then yeah City has to win all, but if arsenal doesn't then we could just do a lot better on the long run. We did not expected City to end up with something like this and feel like this is not the type of thing that I expected them to do.

A tie and specially one that is 3-3 is not something that we could have seen beforehand. I did not lose any money on this by pure luck, I forgot that they had a game and did not see it somehow on the list as well so I ended up not betting on it, but I am %100 sure that if I saw that or remembered their game, I would have bet on them to win.

For Arsenal to reach this particular stage that they are, we need to appreciate their effort because it's not really easy for them playing with all motive to win the premier and championship leagues. I know that there is nothing important in football but if their luck is going to shine enough to win any of these trophies, that will be a recognized achievement for them so far.

Chelsea lost again. They played at home against Nottingham Forest and were beaten 1-3.
Their losing streak has now reached six matches and they are starting to drift away from 6th place. For Nottingham Forest, this was a very important win. They are moving further away from the relegation zone, although there is still a chance they could go down.

Chelsea just dropped their position and it is very disappointing for their fans that Chelsea decided to continue their losing streak after losing from Nottingham Forest. And I think this is the ever worst performances by the team Chelsea because they were not a team like they are now. They are doing good but sudden they started losing and make consecutive and continuous winnings which makes them more poor in gaining points and stable the position. They losses their matches from almost all the teams like Manchester United Is doing Manchester City and Newcastle United. So, they eagerly need to underline the key factors which are responsible for their worst condition and try to overcome them so that they can prepare themselves good for the upcoming season because there chances for this time has been vanished.

I think Chelsea management is the key factor to their problems because they don't want to leave the affair of the team on the pitch for the coach to take full control of. Look at Rosenoir that they brought after having issues with Maresca. He couldn't do anything instead, he worsening the team performance. I hope that they're learning from their mistakes and work towards avoiding the same mistakes in future if not, Chelsea might be on the ground longer than Manchester United before Carrick lifted them up

I agree with your sentiment here because everything you said here is true, the hierarchy of Chelsea are the ones bringing down the club, and it's because of the too much interference was the main reason Enzo maresca left the club. Now I heard that any new manager that will come in will have the final say on who goes in and out of the club, and in addition, their will be no interference by the hierarchy on sporting decisions. The only place they can meddle in is the commercial aspect of the club, not on footballing matter, so if the news is actually true, the Chelsea of old will be back if they can hire an experience manager, not someone like Liam Rosenior that is learning on the job.

I think Arsenal are not so much worried about the Premier League matches as their main focus is on the Champions League trophy. The possibility of winning the Premier League trophy is almost certain because although Man City showed a hint of competition, the draw with Everton in the match made it easier for Arsenal to win the trophy.

Arsenal players must be praised because they are very resilient and can use their abilities properly. I have seen them perform almost the same consistently since the beginning of this season. It will be more honorable for them if they can win these two trophies.

[bitgolden]

Everyone assumed that City would defeat Everton, even the odds were showing them as the title winner, the odds were under 2.00 and they were seen like 50%+ chance to win and it was easy for them, now there are very few games left in the league.

Nobody really assumed that this would happen, and yet it really happened and I am really shocked at what has happened. Not many people assumed that this would happen but it did happen. I think it should not be all that complicated for this to be the normal case because they were very gassed.

[Nightwatchmare]

I expected Manchester City to win Everton and catch up with Arsenal in the league standings, but when Everton was winning Manchester City 3-1, i did not expect the final score between Everton and Manchester City to be 3-3; i thought Manchester City would lose to Everton since Everton was winning Manchester City 3:1 and it was remaining 9 minutes for the game to end. Manchester City chances of becoming the premier league champions has been ruined by Everton because they will not catch up with Arsenal in the league standings.

The hope I had on Manchester City to win that game was incomparable, but when I saw Everton are winning them, i became convinced that Everton were ready for that game. Even though I have a glimpse of hope that Manchester City might equalize and got a draw, because it will be very hard for them to get 3 points from that game, which at the end Manchester City end up getting a draw. For me I will say it’s still better as they didn’t lose the game, but that was not how I expected the game to turn out.

Actually I can bet anything if the odd was bigger for Manchester city to win because there is no reason why they will lose the game considering the fact that they have tied with Arsenal and they have more goals. But football just happened that is why it can not be predicted so easily, and I was wondering if Everton decided that day to die and do anything humanly possible to stop Manchester city from getting away with the 3 points. I can imagine how happy arsenal and their fans will be seeing Manchester city struggling to draw.

No-one expected what happened to Manchester City against Everton, since Arsenal was leading Manchester City with 6 points, everyone just believed Manchester City was going to win against Everton and keep the premier league race heated up, but no-one knew that Everton was already prepared and determined to stop Manchester City take 3 points. Arsenal fans were Everton fans the day Everton hosted Manchester City at Hill Dickinson Stadium and all their prayers was for Manchester City to drop points against Everton so they will be happy as their prayers was answered.

So everyone thought Arsenal has lost the title. The reason is because Arsenal has been use to inconsistency in the past so trusting them in this type of situation were unlikely. Besides no body expected that City were going to drop points considering the way they club back to the top of the table.

The exact reason is Arsenal patter for the past 4 years. But everyone has forgotten what this Arsenal team used to be before Arteta came. Arsenal was a laughing stock to everyone. The best trophy for Arsenal in the late time of Arsene wenger was to finish in the top 4. Arsenal was not competing for anything serious. This new manager has taken the team to a height were they compete for the league title every season. Taken the team to the quater final, to the semi-final and now has taken the team to the UCL final. We football fans expect too much from Arsenal and most times we are bias since we don't speak the truth. If it is out team doing what Arsenal is doing we will be backing our team.

[Volgastallion]

Chelsea management this season was a complete disaster like it was a few seasons back, they made all the incorrect calls and all the incorrect calls, they changed coachs when they didnt have to and they punish some key players like their captain when the team most needed them, so they now are gonna face another shit next season running from behind and without Champions League congratulations.

[red4slash]

They get 1 point but still it is a loss for Manchester City because now the gap will be back in terms of points and this is an advantage for Arsenal.
This season everything is difficult to predict well, Arsenal are far ahead even the gap is almost 10 points in the middle of the season but towards the end of the season their points are exactly the same and when Manchester City are again the championship favorites especially their points are balanced only goal productivity determines they also lose the moment and now they have to hope Arsenal don't do well in their remaining 3 matches in the EPL.

We did not expected City to end up with something like this and feel like this is not the type of thing that I expected them to do.

Currently the advantage on paper is at Arsenal, especially for now for their competitions (Arsenal and Manchester City) are still in 2 competitions where Arsenal divide their focus with the Champions League and Manchester City divide their focus with the FA Cup Final even though in terms of priority maybe the FA cup is below the Champions League but still they will also definitely try to bring the trophy.

In terms of opponents, Arsenal's advantage is much greater because apart from those who will face 2 clubs in the relegation zone for Crystal Palace opponents, they also have an advantage of course because Crystal Palace is currently experiencing a different decline compared to last season while Manchester City they certainly still have several troublesome matches including against Aston Villa, Bournemouth and Brentford which this season could be a stumbling block for a match.

Arsenal are going to win the League, I doubt they will ever be this fortunate to win the league again.

City have been far inconsistent to get pass them even when they mess up. I don't expect them to be pressurised now, it is more likely they are going to win the league and so they will be excited and also give their all in order to make this a reality.

Am concerned about arsenal though am not an arsenal fan but honestly I just want them to carry the league they have tried to still maintain there stand up till this time I just hope they can stand there ground through the league and carry.the league I will really be happy for them, I know for sure that there records of them messing up always in the end but however I just wish for them that this time is going to be different story all together for them. For man city vs Everton honestly I had already that game a win for Everton only to hear that the last winning goal was scored in the last minute of the extra time I mean that was shocking I didn't expect a draw not at that moment anymore.

Some persons are also arsenal sympathizers that doesn't make them arsenal fan, the truth is that arsenal has reach that level in this season that they really need to be supported, but football is not about sympathy, as a team you have to show working til the end, football is not about pity, it is about what you can offer, also hope they can lift the trophy, they will be very happy to achieve that this very season, arsenal had the opportunity to be at the top without being challenged by any team, they were at a time 1209points clear but they were not able to continue with that, they dropped points, this time Manchester city has given them that hope again after their draw with Everton, we are watching to see if arsenal make use of this opportunity well.

Even though Arsenal have a easy fixtures in their remaining league matches, I’m not going to celebrate the at this moment, not because I don’t trust them to win the remaining matches but this team has disappointed us so many times. I’m not an Arsenal fan, but I want them to win the league title this season, because they deserve it, they have been fighting to win it for the last three seasons, sadly, Manchester City and Liverpool prevented them from winning it.

However, I’ve see a lot of comments about Arsenal winning the Champions League, but we should understand that making it to the final does not mean you are going to win. I am beginning to fear for Arsenal playing against PSG, I feel like they are more stronger than they were last season. Arsenal need to improve in the final and create many chances to score.
