⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

[Spaceman1000$]

I sometimes want to believe that Tottenham has a spiritual problem, because this is a club that is supposed to be one of the contending clubs in the premier League but you see them season to season they are struggling to come to the front burner of the league table or struggling to stay within the middle of the table. The way Aston Villa is trying to create a pathway for themselves within the top four clubs, that is how a lot of us were projecting Tottenham because they have the potentials, but they are already looking like defanged Lions.

The management is the one playing a role in their failure to some extent. There is a way they don't give managers enough time to build a winning team, and they think that sacking and hiring every couple of months is going to help. Until Tottenham settle down with one guy for a long-term project, things are going to continue getting worse for them.

Yeah you're right, a long time coach with a scheduled plan that they will have to follow despite hiccups will be one of their saving grace. Rapid changing of coaches means different approaches to games and different mentality to players. But then this current coach will have to look for a way to pull them out of your relegation zone with the remaining 6-7 matches, that's their focus now, else we might not watch Tottenham Hotspur this next season.

I remember when Tottenham fans celebrated losing to Manchester City just because it would affect Arsenal’s chances of winning the title race. It is amazing how their hate for Arsenal is greater than their desire for success, can’t say I’m surprised that a club with that kind of mentality and zero ambition is going down. 

It all about rivalry and nothing much. Although I won’t say Tottenham is an ambitious club, but their attitude toward Arsenal is about rivalry and passion for the game. The fans are always going to show their hatred for their rival. If reverse was the case Arsenal fans will gladly oppose Tottenham from winning any title. This season Tottenham denied Manchester City points both home and away and I believe that benefited Arsenal as well.

Nobody cares about this complaint. Ensure you win the necessary games you need to win so you can stop depending on clubs like Tottenham and other smaller clubs to hold your opponents to a draw or lose. That game they could not win against Aston Villa did a lot of harm to them. At least they are among the london sides to have won an European competition in this century why can we not say just sake about Arsenal. You better focus on your own club.

This is what poor management used to cause. If not I don't see the need while they would want to change there former coach. The club was actually far better than what we are seeing now and I bet they will be regretting taking that decision of terminating/ sacking the former coach. If Tottenham Hotspur happens to be relegated the management is purely to be blame for sacking the former manager and the outcome is relegation.

Anything is indeed possible to happen, but it must be admitted that the situation is very difficult for Tottenham right now, and I blame Tottenham's management for being quite slow in making big decisions, which is why they are in such dire straits currently.
If we look at the competition at the bottom of the current Premier League standings, certainly Tottenham still has hope of escaping the relegation zone, but I see it from another perspective, which is West Ham's current resurgence that makes Tottenham very threatened.

Mikel Arteta has been great with Arsenal he deserved this award for month of march, Arsenal can possibly win the premier league title if they stay consistent the points gap is 9 which is an advantage for Arsenal to win the league, it's Man city that still have an extra match to play and not Arsenal if Man city should win it will be 6 points and both club still has a match a play but i believe Arsenal will do their best to win the league title this season.

The points gap is 9 for Arsenal, they will be the PL champions unless they stumble. Man City wish the Gunners lose a couple of games so they can near their position in the PL table. Mikel has been great with the Gunners, his team are in the Champions League and Premier League.

Whatever arteta is doing this season is working, arsenal have been able to keep up a good performance for a very long time. The points gap is enough to slow down City for a while but if arsenal starts performing poorly then it means that they might give city a chance, but that's not really going to happen because arsenal are really determined to win the title this season. Out of the seven games they have they just have to win about four to five and that's possible for them to achieve.

This new manager is actually taking a lots of risk here, like how desperate is he seeking for a job that he will accept a job that is this crucial, like if by mistake Tottenham hotspur should get relegated what will be his fate? And i still think even with a long time contract it will still be difficult for Tottenham hotspur to get out of this predicament because first they've lost a lots of good players that are yet to be replaced, and it will take them time to do that because getting such players now is not really an easy thing mostly now that they no longer qualify for an European competition, i just hope they get better soon.

It's his choice, he believes that he's capable of helping them escape relegation lets see if he can really do that, although he stated that whether the club goes on relegation or not he'll still remain their manager that means he know the risk and willing to accept whatever his fate may be. If he succeeds, Tottenham might end up being very competitive next season.

Out of the seven games they have they just have to win about four to five and that's possible for them to achieve.

He will still be remembered as a head coach who lead Arsenal out of their crisis since the retirement of Arsene Wenger and his management has helped Arsenal very consistently appearing in top four in many latest seasons. More impressive, they have been in title competition in four seasons already while winning a trophy needs both better management, better performances from players, luckiness to avoid injuries, and surely support from competitors like Manchester City and Liverpool in this season.

Manchester City just destroy Liverpool and they show that they don't give up yet, so Arteta and Arsenal must tighten their squad, and play very carefully to secure their first position till season ending.

Tottenham Hotspur tried to do something for rescuing this terrible season in Premier League, but even they still have chance of doing something and finishing this season above the relegation zone, they must be very careful as with only one point more than the relegation zone, making mistakes and losing some points will possibly be enough for Tottenham Hotspur to be relegated after this season.

[LUCKMCFLY]

The only thing that is going to happen is that Arsenal will win the Premier league this season and their is no way Manchester City is over taking Arsenal at this point. You might call Manchester City a tough team or whatever you choose to call them, but they are second to Arsenal this season. That simply means that if they can win 6 straight matches,  then Arsenal can win 7 or more straight matches. I still wonder why people still believe that Arsenal will over take Arsenal at this point,  because I think Arsenal is the strongest and most consistent team in the premier league this season, so whatever you think Manchester City can do, this Arsenal team are capable of doing better. So you guys should stop dreaming and just accept the reality that Arsenal is winning the premier league this season.

I really hope so. I'd like Arsenal to win the Premier League. Can they be consistent? Yes, without a doubt. Is it something this team struggles with? Could they run out of steam? I hope not, but that happened in the Champions League last season. They beat Real Madrid and then played a completely different style of football This time they have everything under control, they can win easily, but they can't be overconfident So many crazy things have happened in football lately that anything is absolutely possible.

[Razmirraz]

Snip.

Out of the seven games they have they just have to win about four to five and that's possible for them to achieve.

I wouldn't dare say Arteta has succeeded because he hasn't won a single trophy this season. Now his task is getting tougher, he must ensure Arsenal perform optimally in the remaining matches to prevent Man City from catching up with the number of points they have collected. Arteta must also ensure his players forget the emotional burden felt following Arsenal defeat in the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City. Arsenal will also face Man City again in Week 33. If they lose again at the Etihad Stadium, Arsenal will be under even more pressure and Arteta task will be even harder. The remaining matches are crucial for Arsenal, but looking at the opponents they will face, they should be able to win six of the seven matches they will play, but Arteta must remain vigilant and not underestimate his opponents because anything can happen in football.

Arsenal are controlling the title competition very well but the big win of Manchester City against Liverpool in FA Cup today shows that this competitor are still very strong, and will challenge Arsenal till the season ending. Arsenal have at least 6 points more than Manchester City if two clubs have same total matches, and it's big enough for taking a title.

Only 7 more matches, and Arsenal are actually counting down match by match to win the title. They can look at how Leicester City years ago won their Premier League title and try to do the same but surely Arsenal have better tradition than Leicester City. Manchester City won't give up but with only 7 more matches, it looks to be very late for Manchester City to overtake a first position. Especially Arsenal in this season are more stronger mentally than they were in three previous seasons.

Tottenham management made decisions too quickly. They should  have tried to strengthen the squad in the last season. They did not strengthen the squad enough. This is definitely a failure of the  management.

After the dismissal of Thomas frank, Igor Tudor was given the responsibility. After Tudor became the manager, Tottenham played  7 matches and they could win only 1 match. Now Tottenham management has given the responsibility to De zorzi. Until now he was the manager of marseille. De zorzi was quite successful with marseille. Now vhis only goal will be to keep Tottenham away from the relegation zone. But this is a very difficult task. Tottenham's performance will not  improve if the players can not be confident.

Now with the remaining games in the league Arsenal have to be very careful and clinical in a every game until the end, they should play like they have no advantage because if that advantage gets to them they’ll falter and lose it all cos it’s this time we tend to see Manchester City turning the fifth gear and we can see that it seems so with the way they demolished Liverpool today. I’m not sure many people predicted that, atleast I was expecting a tough match but City came out guns blazing.

[Mayor of ogba]

That is the bitter truth that most of us still fail to accept. Tottenham will definitely go to relegation no matter what this season. I don’t see any hope of that changing, and to me, if I see people having hope in them, it makes me pity those supporting Spurs. Escaping relegation this season will not just be a miracle, it will be more than a miracle. They are just a point ahead of West Ham, and West Ham also want to escape relegation.

So how do you expect them to find it easy? De zerbi will not be able to do anything, because if he had what it takes to avoid all this, he would have done it already.

Why are you so certain that Tothenham will go on to relegation? The club is currently in the seventh position which is above the relegation zone. Roberto De Zerbi might turn things around. The club might be in a very bad shape but if they can win most of their remaining games, they will remain in the EPL next season.

It might be hard for the new coach to get the needed results since he has a very short time but nothing is impossible.  The Italian football manager has lots of experience that might help him in achieving the current goal of the club. Concluding that they will go on relegation is like saying that they don't have any chance meanwhile there are still more games to play

If they were at the 17th position with a good point margin, I would not be certain that they would get relegated. However, they are just 1 point ahead of West Ham, which is currently in the relegation zone. And we all know that they only have 7 more games to play until the end of the season. If you ask me, I would say that since January, Tottenham has not won any game in the Premier League, only drawing matches. So, how do you expect this performance to change in the remaining 7 games?

There is nothing that ain't possible in football, I have seen cases where a team gets motivated even in the last 5 five games of the season and won all five although I don't know if such case can still happen with Totetteham Hotspur because it would be too bad seeing a top team like them leave the premier League and go down to the lower league. Tottenham is a big team and I don't really know why the management allowed their situation to get this worse before taking drastic choices and changes.

I can't really remember the last time Tottenham Hotspur went to relegation like it has been seasons now and regardless of their performance and their position in the premier league I still don't think and I'm not convinced they will go to relegation untill the last game which could be their last hope and chance of not going. And it's going to be a very big shame to that manager. Tottenham Hotspur don't go relegation anyhow as a matter of fact they use to be very tough in premier league.

You not remembering the last time Tottenham Hotspur went to relegation doesn't mean that they can't be relegated this season because their performance this year in the Premier League shows that they have a good chance of bagging relegation unless their new head coach turns things around for them  before they can be able to escape relegation.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Why look for the root of the problem when the real issue is already known: the coach? As explained, the players are already qualified, complete with goalkeeper, defense, midfielders, and forwards. They have the potential to win anything. The only problem is that the coach is not capable of maximizing their existing strengths. So it's clear that Arne needs to be removed and replaced with someone who can maximize the existing players, whether that's Xabi Alonso or anyone else, it doesn't matter.

I think the coach is the one who hinders the team's development; this happens a lot. Just ask Manchester United when Ten Hag was there, which for me was one of the biggest mistakes in the world of football. In contrast, Xabi Alonso sounds good to me, he's a good coach, he can manage the team very well, he knows them well, so he can bring out all that potential that this coach doesn't want to or can't bring out A commanding voice is very important in the team.

[SatoPrincess]

If reverse was the case Arsenal fans will gladly oppose Tottenham from winning any title. This season Tottenham denied Manchester City points both home and away and I believe that benefited Arsenal as well.

No Arsenal supporter would be happy that their team lost a game that will cost them champions league football over a rivalry with Tottenham. It’s a poor mentality that the Gunners do not share.

The points gap is 9 for Arsenal, they will be the PL champions unless they stumble. Man City wish the Gunners lose a couple of games so they can near their position in the PL table. Mikel has been great with the Gunners, his team are in the Champions League and Premier League.

Arsenal just have to maintain their momentum and take it one game at a time. They are close to the end, and every point counts more than ever. It’s time to put an end to the trophy banter.

Arsenal currently has 70 points. Their point gap against Manchester City is about 9 points. And there are about 7 rounds remaining in the Premier League. Arsenal’s position in the standings looks very strong at the moment. But Arsenal must seriously prepare to deliver top-notch performances in every upcoming match so that their lead isn’t easily closed or even overtaken by Man City. I personally think that Arsenal must at least win 5 of the matches they will play in the upcoming rounds so they can secure their position at the top of the standings unshakably. And that will ensure they win the Premier League this season. On the other hand Arsenal’s path is not easy given their packed schedule this month across several competitions like the FA Cup or even the Champions League. And Arsenal’s match against Man City this month is one that might be difficult for Arsenal to win given their last encounter.

[LUCKMCFLY]

We can only believe in what Arteta can achieve and has been his big dream for a long time, City are a tough team but their last two matches have failed to get points well and make the difference very far, 9 points are capital for Arsenal in the safe zone even though we know that they must remain wary of Manchester City with all its surprises, we cannot underestimate Guardiola, and yes Arsenal still have a lot of matches like the champions league, their stamina will be more easily drained.

It's very difficult to make predictions about what will happen because of everything that's being predicted For some, it's a given that Arsenal will win, but for others, things are set up for a City team that's a natural hunter But it's all about waiting I know many of us are eager to see the remaining matches it's no wonder we feel all that excitement that makes us vibrate. Whatever the results, it's because it's meant to be.

[Franctoshi]

Especially Arsenal in this season are more stronger mentally than they were in three previous seasons.

That performance is a case of the FA Cup and not the Premier League, and besides, Liverpool are in their worst form and played against Manchester City. It depends on who Manchester City will be playing in their match fixtures throughout the season; that will make the league trophy 🏆 still  possible to end in their hands, but if you are talking about City continuing to win their games, then what about Arsenal also keeping doing their good job? So you see that City would have no choice; they should pray for two things: Arsenal to drop points and for them to continue winning their games.
