⚽ Premier League 2024/2025 Discussion Thread ⚽

[Palakka]

I'm actually thinking to place a bet on West Ham tomorrow because I have a feeling City will catch a bad football day and the final result won't help them become champions. I also believe it's time for Premier League to have another winner besides City and Liverpool because in this way this league is becoming a bit boring just like Bundesliga ( where Bayern had 10 consecutive titles ) and if that is the case, I prefer to watch other leagues instead of Premier League.

Also , is it true that VAR will be removed next year if teams will vote for it ?  

Although it is unlikely to be able to get a refund from the results of your bet later, but I really salute your thoughts that seem to really want a surprise to happen in the last game of the Premier League this season, if you look at the odds given by the gambling exchange against the possibility of West Ham winning at odds is 17.00, of course if you are lucky you will be able to get a sizable payout later from the bets you make,  But to be honest for the last game I am quite pessimistic if Manchester City will draw let alone lose to Westham, because after all Manchester City will certainly field all its best players in the match to be able to win and maybe even with a very big score.

Nowadays VAR often causes controversy and even still teams that feel aggrieved by referee decisions after checking VAR, one example of course you still remember when Arsenal dropped points last season against Newcastle and Brentford which caused the VAR referee to be fired at that time, previously the use of VAR was intended to make all competing teams get justice in refereeing decisions but in fact now we often see that it is not happens at all, so it is very natural that many teams are demanding the abolition of VAR in the Premier League, whether or not VAR is removed will of course be decided after a meeting of 20 Premier League clubs in June and the fate of VAR will be determined through the results of voting later.

The final match for City is against West Ham and with West Ham, who have been very poor this season, you can already imagine how much City will be able to fight. Well City won’t real struggle in that match as they will sure possess West Ham and be able to get the job done in the first half. Well Arsenal fans can keep their hopes alive as they maybe needed for next season because it’s obviously over for them this season.

I can't expect how West Ham will beat City or draw and Arsenal will win the EPL trophy this season. It was impossible to expect such a possibility. Arsenal fans have to give up the EPL trophy and hope that Arsenal can perform better next season. This does not mean being pessimistic, but fans must be aware that Arsenal's chances of winning the EPL title this season are very small. City will field its best players. They play at home. There is no way they will miss out on the EPL title after poor results in the UCL. They will celebrate City as champions of the 2023/2024 Premier League. And City still has the possibility of getting a double winner if they are able to beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final.

This season has already ended. Chelsea should focus on how to improve their performance next season.

~snip~

Not yet actually.    They still need to fight for the win on the final game week to not only secure the Conference League chance but also to make an attempt to capture 5th place.

Honestly I think their place in the league table won't change. It looks really difficult for Chelsea to get past Tottenham now. I'm saying it considering that Tottenham wouldn't lose to Sheffield just like that.    But all in all, Chelsea have been really impressive on the last weeks. There is a huge improvement in the results. I think Pochettino should stay and focus on improving the chemistry with the players to fight for bigger goals next season.

Chelsea were previously ranked 10th and with only a few match left of course many of us are pessimistic if Chelsea can compete for a Europa League slot next season, Chelsea are slowly starting to find form and consistency in their current game and even after being crushed by Arsenal in week 32 ,  Chelsea were able to bounce back unbeaten in their last 5 matches, indeed quite surprising with what happened to Chelsea at this time, so I think maybe Pochettino has indeed found Chelsea best game scheme at the moment.

Currently Chelsea performance has improved and their chances to play in the Europa League next season are of course very wide open, Chelsea are currently ranked 6th but they have the potential to still be able to play in the Europa League next season if they beat Bournemouth in the last match and hope Tottenham lose from Sheffield United so that Chelsea and Tottenham both have 63 points,  But from the goal difference, of course, Chelsea is still better than Tottenham, but besides that Chelsea can also still play in the Europa League next season if they win or draw against Bournemouth, so that ending the season in rank 6 or bove Newcastle or Manchester United later, in addition to having to be able to stay in rank 6, of course Chelsea must hope Manchester City can beat Manchester United in the FA final later,  So that way the Europa League slot through the FA champion will be given to rank 6, because Manchester City has ensure playing in the UCL next season.

Pep Guardiola can go ahead talking and yapping but the officials and VAR has helped them on several occasions this season even when they was wrong. So what's with the delay after the 115 charges against them? Why haven't we seen no point deduction already?

I don't think we are going to see Manchester City getting punished despite having a ton of charges against themselves.    This is one of the things that I don't like in football.

Big and rich teams are always likely to be favoured. For example you know about Everton right? They got a points deduction by federation decision. But Manchester City still doesn't get anything despite being who knows how many times guiltier than Everton. People are discussing what kind of a punishment they should get, like being demoted to the 2nd league etc.. But I believe none of the things they discuss will come true.

Screw them and whatever they have to say, the delay reminds me of how the feds took and delayed before turning and sentencing FTX owner to jail. It's same with Manchester City as they have decided not to look into the matter. That said, Manchester City has been a good side since Pep Guardiola came in and I'm so glad.

Everton pulled up after several point deduction and stuff's, I'm so damn proud of that club, as Sean Dyche and his lads has done well. They should probably deduct them points and see them relegated.
Whoever commits must also be punished for his sins and stuff.

Against West Ham United tommorow, let's see as the Var, goes on to favour them. Anyways, gunner's did well, but they should do better next time than to rely on someone else's win to win the Premier League Competition.

It is over for Manchester United in the Premier League. The final week matches don't matter for them as they don't have any chance left for top 6. 

However there is still a chance to qualify for the Europa League. But they have to win the FA Cup trophy for that. Does anyone believe in them to do it against Manchester City? To tell the truth, I have near zero faith in them. Because Guardiola is really unstoppable now. I think he will start with winning the Premier League first and then it is going to be the turn of FA Cup.

I'm wondering what Manchester United is planning to do this summer. Will they continue with Erik ten Hag? No matter they do or not, they need to work hard on player signings certainly.

Yeah, but the season is not completely over. They Manchester United will be facing Manchester City in the FA Cup Competition come the last few days of this month. Erik Ten Hag has seen some players return from Injury but will they be able to impact into the team during the finals? I'd say yes! But, I'm sure against Brighton tommorow, they'll definitely win.

They have no other option but to do that winning against Manchester City. In my opinion, I don't even want them to move any European Competition as they should put all focus on improving and development of the club. Pep Guardiola unstoppable? Even Tottenham Hotspur could hold them down, now what's up?

They have had recent meetings over him staying or appointment of a new coach but they're yet to make conclusion and I don't blame them if they have plans of sacking Erik Ten Hag.

Well in this case I think many things have been said, I honestly don't think MU is going to beat Man City, the truth is I find it very difficult, it could happen yes, but I don't think so. That, in fact, Ten Hag's situation has worsened, in the English press it was reported that Ten Hag does not want Bruno Fernandes to be in the team, when CR7 left, Bruno Fernandez himself supported all of Ten Hag's decisions, and that He thought his partner's departure was good, could this be karma? Well if so, well deserved or has it, this makes one think that if the MU does not come out of this Technician it is clear that it is the biggest mistake in the history of this team and that they have not yet woken up from that nightmare that got them into this.

Those who still believe that Arsenal still has the opportunity to win the league are Arsenal fans and again I think they don’t know Manchester City and what they are capable of doing, Manchester City will beat Westham with more than two goals in the game, many Arsenal fans and also the team are still waiting for Manchester City to play against Westham and see the result so that they can see what will be their plan, there is nothing for arsenal to plan because Manchester City 99%  sure to win the league, Westham that don’t have a good performance this season want to challenge Manchester City and stop them from winning the title, Even Arsenal know that Manchester City will beat Westham.

I saw a news yesterday, I don’t know if it is real or fake, Kudus the wing player of Westham say he will try his best against Manchester City and make sure they fight and allow Arsenal to win the league, I just laugh when I see the news because it sounds as funny to me, Kudus that find it difficult to score throughout this 2024? I just don’t want us to discuss more it but we will see what will happen next after the game of Manchester City and Westham.

Your words are right and no one will believe that Arsenal will think Manchester City will lost their final game against West Ham and give them the opportunity to lift the trophy this season. If you look at Manchester City’s performance this season and their current form in the league, you can not just argue the fact that they’ll win that last match by all means and win the premier trophy again this season. Kudus saying he’s going to Manchester City from winning them is not blabbing, maybe he has something to showcase for us tomorrow and what Manchester City cannot withstand from him that tomorrow. I just hope he can do that but the thought of it is already making me doubt the possibility of it because it just seems very impossible to happen. The decision will be made tomorrow and we’ll wait to see who’ll lift the trophy against all odds.

[CLS63]

Tomorrow the season is officially ending. We are going to watch a title competition one last time this season. Manchester City are highly expected to finish this and win another title. I'm expecting the same. If West Ham also had some goal to achieve now then the match would look more interesting to me. But I don't think so now. West Ham are one of the worst defense teams this season. I don't think they can hold off Manchester City at Etihad.

Even Tottenham Hotspur could hold them down, now what's up?

Manutd still has a chance to get a ticket for the Conference League if they lose to Mancity in the FA Cup final later.
If Mancity wins the FA Cup, top 5th and 6th in the league will get a ticket to the Europa League, top 7th will get a ticket to the Conference league.

Manutd now in 8th position, same points with Newcastle in 7th because their total goal differences are better than Manutd.
But Im not sure Manutd wants to join the Conference league, I will not surprise if they lose or only draw against Brighton tomorrow.

Football is one game that's very full of surprises and that's why we can never say say never until every contest is finally decided. In the last match day of the 2011/12 season, Manchester United were few seconds away from becoming the English Premier League champions but Manchester City pulled one of the greatest surprises of the English Premier League to claim the title that very season and tomorrow, there's every possiblity that same surprises might pop up again but definitely not in their favour.
Arsenal will host Everton tomorrow while Manchester City will play host to West Ham and if Arsenal wins with a 3 or more goals margin while Manchester City fails to win in their own game, Arsenal will will be crowned champions of England for the first time in 20 years.

Same West ham that Arsenal destroyed at their home ground, London stadium in February? It's the same one and they'd have a very difficult job tomorrow at the Etihad stadium to keep Man city from the trophy. However, I do think that we might have some final day drama. Guardiola is confident that his team will triumph even if West ham tries to pull an "Aston Villa" (re: 2022) on them. If that happens, Arsenal just needs to win and get the trophy for themselves. But it's a very long, long, long shot. Fingers crossed - few hours to go.

You don't think so don't mean it won't happen, I have this impossible is nothing up in my skull every now and then. 14 January 2023 Manchester United had the lesser chances of winning the Manchester derby they played against Manchester City and less winning probability to win that game but they the players decided that game on the pitch. I've seen this stuff, watched it and also been a part of a team that did same, I know when I say that it's possible you just need to believe and have togetherness amongst yourselves as a team until the final whistle is blown.

This is 2024 and I can't even imagine the name to use on people who still believes everything they hear and read from the media, not to even talk about the English media. I'm really disappointed in you personally because I looked up to your post and contents written here at times. You should do better. Try to think for yourself when you read stuffs like this online, the writers and editors can also be baised and if not baised them must have funded by one of them sponsors to write something they're not suppose to write.

And you believed this blunder? Jesus Christ! What I have just read means nothing, when you look at people coaches no longer wants they dump them on the bench. Bruno Fernandez maybe wants out because Manchester United has wasted his best days, he deserves better hopefully he leaves for a club with high chances of winning him trophies next season.

Nothing about Karma here, it's just you assimilating, absorbing all the junk you eat from the media. I can't believe the contents I read on here in the gambling section these days. It's crazy and mind blowing.

[Cityhunter34]

Today is the end of England premier league season and we are going to witness unexpected results from those terms that are going to religation, because at every end of the season it is always like that.

However I think Man City and Arsenal is going to won their match, but even as that the champion is going to be man city.

[emrecemsan]

Here we have a fresh statement by Klopp on his future...

It looks like he isn't interested in working in England anymore. It is sad to hear about that. But the sadder thing to hear is that he might not even return after giving a break to his job.    He is one of the special coaches for me and many people. I understand that this has been a tiresome work at Liverpool. The expectations are high and you have to work harder every year. But I hope he returns.

Arne Slot has confirmed that he is going to be the next Liverpool coach.

You see forget that Arsenal won Westham how about when Westham won Arsenal in their first meeting this season? I trust Pep Guardiola on the match today no time for nonsense because Manchester city is not like Arsenal that have opportunities to win the title for two seasons now and they always end up giving up the trophy to Manchester city so there is no contemplation on today's game at all and I think that after this season Arsenal will learn the hard way so that they don't rely on another team for them to win the league. Surely some end of the season drama will happen but definitely not in the match between Manchester City and Westham.

The deciding match should be very tough and we don't want it to look easy for Manchester City, although we know that when Pep Guardiola will make this match serious then there is no chance for Arsenal to expect West Ham to put up a fight. Apart from the very high chances of Manchester City and on the other hand Arsenal also have to focus on getting 3 points. Competing at the same time, of course both teams are equally curious to know the score in their respective matches. Today everything will be history if Manchester City wins 4 seasons in a row, whereas if Arsenal is lucky then this title is very, very special. No one knows who can get out easily, obviously I am still on the side of Man City betting.

[MainIbem]

[/left]Arsenal have indeed changed a lot after joining Arteta, but when we talk about new players taken by Arsenal, we must also remember that the top 5 clubs in the Premier League also have many new players, even like Manchester United and Liverpool.
So the competition for the top 5 or top 4 in the premier league is going to be even tougher and if Arsenal is not able to compete consistently he will lose his title again next season.[/left]

I think we're about to witness one of the toughest season by next summer, Arteta has shown that he learnt from the best and is bent on giving Arsenal the EPL trophy after so many years, Pep still thinks he'll be very dominant in the EPL just like Sir Alex did at United and would even want to still prove that next season if he wins this present season's EPL today, United themselves are working on getting back to glory days are have recruited the best men in the management of sporting areas of the club, Kloop might be leaving Liverpool but we don't know the fire the next coach is bringing he might be as tough as Arteta and Pep, Chelsea would be much more better than this season in the next if their players are very fit from the beginning and they recruit a very good top 9, Aston Villa just joined the race and have secured themselves the UCL we all know Unai Emery would recruit some good legs to help them challenge well for next season. My thought is that, it's going to be a very tough and interesting season and the battle for top 4 would be fierce.

Klopp has decided to take a break in the meantime in coaching the club and of course so far we don't know when he will return to coach the club, maybe he will have a reason that can be said the same as Zidane continues to say when there are other teams who want to recruit him as a coach, now we can say if Klopp is the most successful coach ever in charge of Liverpool,  As we know so far, if Liverpool have had zero titles before for 30 years but since Klopp come in 2015, Klopp has managed to make Liverpool a team that is quite tough and able to compete in the race for the Premier League and Champions titles so far.

But unfortunately Klopp farewell this season with Liverpool did not have a sweet impression after Liverpool ended this season without a prestigious trophy, but I think it will not reduce the love of Liverpool fans for Klopp Considering all the achievements he has given so far to Liverpool, Arne Slot who has confirmed that he will coach Liverpool next season has certainly made all speculation as to who Liverpool next coach has ended,  Arne Slot and Liverpool have officially teamed up to undergo competition next season.

You see forget that Arsenal won Westham how about when Westham won Arsenal in their first meeting this season? I trust Pep Guardiola on the match today no time for nonsense because Manchester city is not like Arsenal that have opportunities to win the title for two seasons now and they always end up giving up the trophy to Manchester city so there is no contemplation on today's game at all and I think that after this season Arsenal will learn the hard way so that they don't rely on another team for them to win the league. Surely some end of the season drama will happen but definitely not in the match between Manchester City and Westham.

This is one of the most annoying experience I've had so far in football, how can arsenal posses the opportunity of winning the EPL title 2 consecutive times and then just gave it out due to their careless nature. If you observe closely they ran out of form for just a short while, yet it was still the same formation and players. It's certain that Manchester city would be taking the EPL today because western ham can't stand the pressure from the city.

[tusandii]

The final match for City is against West Ham and with West Ham, who have been very poor this season, you can already imagine how much City will be able to fight. Well City won’t real struggle in that match as they will sure possess West Ham and be able to get the job done in the first half. Well Arsenal fans can keep their hopes alive as they maybe needed for next season because it’s obviously over for them this season.

I can't expect how West Ham will beat City or draw and Arsenal will win the EPL trophy this season. It was impossible to expect such a possibility. Arsenal fans have to give up the EPL trophy and hope that Arsenal can perform better next season. This does not mean being pessimistic, but fans must be aware that Arsenal's chances of winning the EPL title this season are very small. City will field its best players. They play at home. There is no way they will miss out on the EPL title after poor results in the UCL. They will celebrate City as champions of the 2023/2024 Premier League. And City still has the possibility of getting a double winner if they are able to beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final.

Yes, at least there is still hope, even though it is only a small possibility, we also don't know what will happen in the next match, but it seems true that Man City will mobilize all their players to win the EPL title because Man City has failed in the UCL so they will try hard to at least won the EPL title this season and will also win the FA Cup if Man City can beat Man U in the final match which will end the EPL season.

I can't even hope that West Ham can make it difficult for Man City, even Tottenham can't do it, so I don't think West Ham can do it by using all their players. Man City will be a strong club on the pitch and I think they will celebrate it lively in the stadium. Etihad together with Man City fans who watched the match.

[Woodie]

Ladies and Gentlemen with that early Phil Foden goal that is how Manchester City won the title, and looking at the Westham players body language, I honestly don't see any comeback from these lads and Arsenal too is finding it hard to break Everton who won't hand it out easy to them and am pretty sure they know what's happening at the Etihad but I expect both City and Arsenal to win their games...

Let's go Citehhh...
