⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

[Bigjoe33]

I’m just thinking guys with what I’ve seen online and in my city. The way Arsenal fans have been celebrating the premier league win, it’s been party after party everywhere even some celebrities in my country are following the trend and hosting shows to celebrate the win.

I’m just wondering what will happen if Arsenal eventually wins the champions league, the noise is going to be mad. I used to think Chelsea fans are the only noise makers 😄😂 but now I’ve seen what one major trophy can do to Arsenal fans.

Those in North London how’s it over there?

What do you mean celebrating their trophy an tittle win is noise?! They have every right to celebrate the way they like,there's nothing noisy about how they chose to celebrate, for goodness sake, they're champions of the Premier League Competition.

They should win the Champions League in my opinion come Saturday, it will be glad to finally see them lifting the Champions League trophy for the very first time same way other Premier League side has done that. Godspeed to them come Saturdays game.

Yeah I also want them to win. The noise I’m talking about is the celebration and banter, now will be their time to boast and make noise all over the place if they win on Saturday.  It’s not going to be easy but they have a chance to win it.

The years of disappointments after disappointments that they have received is now a thing of the past. I noticed there was a time Arsene Wenger also went 3 seasons straight as runner up before winning it the fourth time and now same thing with Mikel Arteta, I’ll say history is on their side.

Yea, they have been taunted enough. The feeling of not winning the champions league for several years of been part of the bug teams in Europe is killing them badly, and they have always been suffering in the hands of there rival fans.

Even though some person might complain that Arsenal are making enough noise for winning the EPL and that they are wishing them to loose against PSG so that they can be peaceful, I would like to say it's okay they talk and make enough noise because it has been too long they saw something like that. So I must say it should be an envy to them, but they should just celebrate with them and wish them well.

For the champions league, Arsenal can also win, or also lose, anyone can happen. But for me, I would like them to win. It not easy for them for years, and they really need to celebrate. PSG is also hungry, they want to join the league of clubs that have won it consecutively, and they will fight for it.. let's see how it goes

If am to be Pep Guardiola i will go for vacation probably go for retirement since he has achieve all that he needed as a coach, he has been a good manager from Barcelona to Bayern Munich and finally in Man city and these club that he has managed he did well and also won many trophies for those club if i were him I will go for rest.

It's a fact that PP needs a break. For example, Klopp is taking his break as one of the best stages of his life, which is perhaps why he has said no to Madrid many times because he knows that with Madrid the commitment is much greater. In Pep's case, he has gone through difficult times in his life. While at City, he suffered many disappointments in his personal life, which is difficult to cope with. Even so, I believe he needs a good vacation.

But I think he'll start taking on new Jobs after his vacation. I think Pep is someone who can't sit still. He accept a new challenge coaching another team because He someone who doesn't like to live alone, who craves challenges and thrives in the company of others.

In terms of Coaching, Pep guardiola is undoubtedly a master. He coached many of the world's top players, And the clubs he coaches are even respected by other teams.

But at the same time, it's possible he take a season off to be with his family, Or he'll continue with another team next season.

I actually predicted Chelsea a direct winning for that match but they couldn't deliver and it was really embarrassing, not just to me but for as many that actually believed in them, this is to tell that Xabi Alonso really have a very big work to do, like he will sanitize the team both in and out, he really needs to sell and buy because most of these players on a normal day are not supposed to be in this Chelsea team no matter what, but it's quite unfortunate they were signing any thing that can kick a ball, of which that's not the way things work in that team.

I feel most people expected a win from Chelsea in their last match. It’s a disappointment, because how will they even allow Sunderland get a win in the match, Chelsea were able to win against Tottenham, so I expected them to win against Sunderland, but they failed. Next season is really going to be a difficult one for Xabi Alonso, because he will have to rebuild Chelsea, he needs to flush out some players in the team, some players are not suppose to be playing for a team like Chelsea, and he will have to sign some players to improve the teams performance. It’s even better that Chelsea didn’t qualify for the Europa League, they should focus only on the premier league.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I would never advise him to take a break; competition in the Premier League is fierce, and it’s quite possible that a team might go a whole year without winning – there are simply too many strong sides.
Perhaps it would be better for him to have a change of scenery and try something new, to prove to everyone that he’s still a winning manager; I could well see him coaching in Italy alongside Pep Guardiola.

I wouldn't know what to tell you, because it's his life. What we say here is one thing, and what Pep thinks is quite another. It's all a matter of waiting to see what he wants to do. The most impressive thing is that he himself requested to leave City. He himself said that he had had enough. That's something not just anyone does. Knowing that his time there is over isn't something just anyone does; it's a total determination that Pep has.

Pep Guardiola loves the game and we all expect him to take a break before coming back but regarding club football expect a good offer comes with the club showing enough support or structure he might not take the role and might make his club return longer because it's more likely that he is either going to Serie A or League one.

The team in League one that can match is offer is having a good manager and have won it all with him, Luis Enrique, they got the champions league already,  what they ever wanted. While Serie A are still finding it hard to get back to their best and a team there might just try to get him if they can.

If it is not for money, I dont see why Pep Guardiola has to take a new job. Pep Guardiola has accomplished a lot with the few clubs he has worked with. There is nothing more for him to see. The challenge is over. Pep Guardiola conquered both Spain and England for years. He is the greatest manager on earth, that should not be a debate.

Pep Guardiola is one of the most successful coaches. He taught the Arsenal coach, the Bayern Munich coach, and he also taught Maresca, who will succeed him in the job as he leaves.

Honestly pep Guardiola need a break, ever since he started his managerial job he has not for once have a break, honestly a really need this break because he has gone through a lot especially at Manchester City, I think he faced more challenges in Manchester City than any other club he went to, to the extent that is family was scattered all because of frustration of Manchester City. Pep Guardiola is a legend in Manchester City and he will continue to be one because he has done what no one have ever done for Manchester City, he took them from the scratch when no one knows their existence. The level of Manchester City is well known now all because of Pep Guardiola presence in the club.

Tottenham were close to getting relegated and I'm sure they will not take any chances next season, Roberto de zerbi is going to make sure of that because it would be an opportunity for him to prove himself. It is quite unfortunate that city had a bad run this season which made pep's stay come to an end.

Tottenham is a team which is I think don't even try to learn from their mistakes and their weaknesses which resulted into a bad situation for them. They have a very poor defense line and they not even making efforts to improve it this is the reason why they are so close to the relegation zone. Even though their performance in this season is too bad or in fact more bad as compared to the last season. In fact the way should be that they learn from their last season weaknesses and try to make it fix in this season so they can brighten their chances to move forward. But still if they want to make their performance good and they have some plans of improvements they need big changes in their team because without changes they will not able to secure any good position.

Without a doubt, rest is the best thing for Pep right now; there's nothing better for him. He himself decided he'd had enough, and that speaks volumes. So, given this, things could turn out well for Pep. I think that after he gets a good rest, he can choose his club. Besides, it's perfect timing for him because the World Cup is coming up, and there are a lot of exciting things to come. What better rest could there be? I'd love to see him manage AL Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo's team.

I completely agree with you. They do not  even try to learn from their mistakes. Otherwise they wouldn't have  suffered such a decline in two consecutive seasons. Tottenham needed to build a strong squad before the start of this  season. But they didn't. And in the end they had  to fight hard to stay out of the relegation zone. I am very  annoyed with tottenham  management. I would have been happier if the team had not  qualified for the premier league. It would have been a immense lesson for them.

And Bruno Fernandes Manchester United captain and hero keeps getting disrespected by Manchester United legend Roy Keane. I know he is my Manchester United hero but his recent claims of Bruno Fernandes are rather revolting.
Bruno Fernandes has been tue guy carrying this club every season ever since he stepped in, now with the recent most assist in the Premier League Competition broken and reshaped, he has got nothing but disrespectful words. I do think Roy Keane should hold his tongue. Bruno Fernandes should be the last person getting criticism.

That’s how it should be. Pep Guardiola days as a coach must be incredibly exhausting, not just physically, but mentally as well. Imagine having to think hard for years on end, devising strategies to ensure his team wins every match they play. This is no easy feat, it’s like living under immense pressure. But it all pays off, especially during his time as Manchester City coach, when he successfully led the club to the pinnacle of success. So, we can certainly understand if Pep Guardiola needs a long break or even decides to retire.

There is no result Chelsea produced after the exit of E. Maresca that surprises me, I'm a fan of Chelsea, but at some point I stopped expecting anything from them. That match was an important one for Sunderland as well as Chelsea as both of them wanted to go for Europa League and that match was the deciding factor. I'm not surprised Sunderland won, they're in better form than Chelsea and they were at home as well and in front of their fans. Sunderland had been in good form for the last matches of the EPL and didn't lose any of their last 3 matches prior to meeting Chelsea.

Pep Guardiola has really had a wonderful coaching career and I think it's okay to call him the greatest coach of all time. I think will be very good for him to take a break from coaching right now and it will not be a bad decision if he decides to retire right now, because I think he has won everything as coach, although I don't think he is going to retire anytime soon, because I think he is someone that likes to challenge himself,  so I believe we will see him back in the game, but what I can't say right now is which club he will be moving too.

I’m just wondering what will happen if Arsenal eventually wins the champions league, the noise is going to be mad. I used to think Chelsea fans are the only noise makers 😄😂 but now I’ve seen what one major trophy can do to Arsenal fans.

Those in North London how’s it over there?

What do you mean celebrating their trophy an tittle win is noise?! They have every right to celebrate the way they like,there's nothing noisy about how they chose to celebrate, for goodness sake, they're champions of the Premier League Competition.

They should win the Champions League in my opinion come Saturday, it will be glad to finally see them lifting the Champions League trophy for the very first time same way other Premier League side has done that. Godspeed to them come Saturdays game.

Yeah I also want them to win. The noise I’m talking about is the celebration and banter, now will be their time to boast and make noise all over the place if they win on Saturday.  It’s not going to be easy but they have a chance to win it.

The years of disappointments after disappointments that they have received is now a thing of the past. I noticed there was a time Arsene Wenger also went 3 seasons straight as runner up before winning it the fourth time and now same thing with Mikel Arteta, I’ll say history is on their side.

Yea, they have been taunted enough. The feeling of not winning the champions league for several years of been part of the bug teams in Europe is killing them badly, and they have always been suffering in the hands of there rival fans.

Even though some person might complain that Arsenal are making enough noise for winning the EPL and that they are wishing them to loose against PSG so that they can be peaceful, I would like to say it's okay they talk and make enough noise because it has been too long they saw something like that.

PSG is also hungry, they want to join the league of clubs that have won it consecutively, and they will fight for it.. let's see how it goes

I can't lie with the level of noise coming from the Arsenal fans I don't really think I can wish them to win Paris Saint Germain comes this Sunday, I know it's quite embarrassing but deep down those are one of the things that actually got the banter moving, because if they should lift this trophy, you will see them digging out their 2003/2004 invisible English premier League title, and it will definitely gonna last for like forever, so I don't know to me I'd like it to be this English premier League title only for this season.

Maybe you've not been following up with Chelsea and that was why you expected them to win Sunderland. Sunderland is not on the same level with Chelsea this season and it would be surprising to Chelsea winning over them especially in a crucial game as that last match of the season. If you watched Chelsea and Tottenham match, you could noticed that it was a battle between two poor teams but Tottenham was the worst side. I feel sorry for Xabi Alonso for accepting Chelsea job at their worst period and the scary part is that English teams don't usually have patience with their coach. I hope he doesn't get sacked mid season.

Chelsea failed to win their final league match and squandered their chance. Had they beaten Sunderland, they would have at least secured a spot in European competition, but they couldn’t even manage that. With this loss, Chelsea has truly had a terrible season. Despite trailing 1-0 at halftime, they fell behind 2-0 early in the second half. Although they scored a goal to cut the deficit to 1-2 just six minutes after falling behind 2-0, receiving a red card and being reduced to 10 men made it extremely difficult for them to secure any points from the match.

Chelsea's performance this season was terrible, even with their lineup they still lost to Sunderland and I actually thought that they had a high chance of winning but it is quite disappointing that they didn't and they even ended up having a red card. After scoring their first goal o knew that it would not be possible for them to equalize because of the way they were performing, I hope they improve next season.

I actually predicted Chelsea a direct winning for that match but they couldn't deliver and it was really embarrassing, not just to me but for as many that actually believed in them, this is to tell that Xabi Alonso really have a very big work to do, like he will sanitize the team both in and out, he really needs to sell and buy because most of these players on a normal day are not supposed to be in this Chelsea team no matter what, but it's quite unfortunate they were signing any thing that can kick a ball, of which that's not the way things work in that team.

When you have not predict Chelsea to win Sunderland, had the been you said it here that you will be predicting Chelsea to win Sunderland, I would have discourage you from that because this season Sunderland lost 4 home games, so Chelsea cannot win Sunderland at their home, Xabi Alonso needs to flush out some players at Chelsea and also bring in a good replacement that will help him improve Chelsea next season, Xabi Alonso knows how to identify good players, so this time Chelsea will not sign anything that can kick the ball.

Cheslea finished the season with a terrible performance, losing the last game of the season. I didn’t expect tye performance from them at all, I expected it to be a game where they could win and mae their fans happy after a bad season. Chelsea could have secure a spot in any of European football next season, and they lose. Sunderland won, instead of Chelsea we assumed to win and secure their spot in the Europa League. Great achievement for Sunderland.

However, Xabi Alonso really have a lot of work to do next season, im just imagining how he will come to this club amd improve them after this bad season. To be honest, Xabi Alonso will have a first tough season at Chelsea, they didn’t have the strength to pressure their opponents again. A big challenges than what he faced at Real Madrid, one win in their previous 7 league games.

I quite agree with you because I believe you have been watching Sunderland closely since when they were promoted to the Premier League, i think they will be among the top five that navigated around the transfer window even though they could not spend so much, but they gather the necessary players who are experienced and honestly they see positive result, i can confidently say this is the reason why Chelsea cannot beat them because those player are experienced ones.
