Man City 3-1 Leicester
City jumped out to a 3-0 lead after 20 minutes thanks to a lucky strike by John Stones , a penalty for handball (taken by Haaland) and an open play through ball to give Haaland his 267th goal this season. Leicester also scored a goal but no one cares. Dean Smith, the new Leicester manager looked like a man in a firing squad and after the match Pep Guardiola praised Leicester so, you know for a fact that it was an easy game and absolute pants to watch.
City are now officially three points from Arsenal with both teams having played 30 matches.
Villa 3-0 Newcastle
Unai Emery continues to prove his doubters wrong with another convincing win for Villa. Ollie Watkins bagged a brace to bring his total to 14 goals and 6 assists on the season. Incredible to think that Villa are third on the table since Emery was appointed. Imagine what they could have done had they hired Emery from the start instead of Steven Gerrard.
Chelsea 1-2 Brighton
Brighton continued their scintillating form since de Zerbi took over. Brighton have now scored 43 goals since de Zerbi was appointed, one more goal than they had scored all of last season under Graham Potter. Meanwhile, Chelsea legend Frank Lampard picked up right where he left off the last two times he was fired as a manager and has lost two in a row. Lampard proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that white men fail upward.
Southampton 0-2 Crystal Palace
Palace continued their winning ways with an easy 2-0 win over Southampton. Former Arsenal academy player, Eberechi Eze, put in another scintillating display, scoring two goals and completing 4 dribbles. Roy Hodgson seems to have just told the attacking players to go out and enjoy their game which is exactly what they are doing.
Wolves beat Brentford, Fulham spank Everton
No one cares. Even the Everton and Wolves supporters don’t care.
Tottenham 2-3 Bournemouth
Somewhere in Italy, Antonio Conte is laughing maniacally. Spurs drop to 5th place 4 points above Brighton who have two games in hand. The two Brighton matches are against Newcastle and Man City and I hope that they win both of them by a combined score of 10-0.
St Totteringham day may make a return as early as tomorrow
big up, unai emery. i watched that game. villa slapped newcastle.
chelsea doesn’t suck, they need competent center forward play. a nearly 37-year old giroud would walk in to that team right now. but now, they also need a coach. chelsea were stupid to fire tuchel, even stupider to hire potter and stupidest to rehire frank lampard.
bournemouth are better than people think. it took a last kick of the game finish from reiss nelson for arsenal to beat them. today, they scored a last minute winner to beat tottenham. they also beat liverpool and fulham before beating totts today. they’ll be in the league next year.
speaking of tottenham, wtf? spurs seems like a mental health condition and the whole club needs a vaccine. the way they blow games is kinda sad. chelsea needed to put harry kane out of his misery when they bought lukaku. with that, if chelsea were to buy kane, it would be a problem; that team would be a contender.
I literally burst laughing out aloud at the ‘white men fail upwards’ comment even though I don’t really understand what you mean?
What do you mean?
Donald John Trump, Frank Lampard, Boris Johnson, George W. Bush, etc. etc.
There are exceptions but almost always when you see a completely incompetent man in a position of power in the USA and UK, he’s a white man.
“Lampard proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that white men fail upward.” Ridiculous. Arent most managers white? By that logic, Sam Allardyce and Tim Sherwood would be competing for the Chelsea job by now. What you mean to say is excellent former players fail upwards. That’s why Patrick Vierra was hired at Palace despite losing runs and falling out with club directors, and Vincent Company hired at Burnley despite a record of 43 wins from 95 games for the biggest club in Belguim.
Very impressive what Emery’s done at Villa. They are playing some really good stuff. I think they could beat Man City on their best day.
Which we won’t do. The title chase is over.
They will run the table and we will absolutely lose at the Etihad.
Even if we win all our other matches, they will win the league on a large goal difference.
Exciting season, Champions League almost secured, a team on the up. Lots of top players will be looking to play at by far the best team in London and the 2md best team in the PL on just goal difference if we don’t drop points
outside the MC match.
Arteta IN!
And when we do finally and again (and again) win the league, it won’t be through financial doping, or overspending. It will be because of the values of the club.
The values that Arsene Wenger took to heart, and as one of the reasons why he came here. Here, to realize a vision. To transform English football and built the best stadium in the land at the time and also build structures and policies that his ex-Captain eventually inherited and refined and improved.
It will be special and glorious.
Well, we aren’t financially doping (I think) and we aren’t sportswashing, but we are one of the biggest spenders in Europe over the last few years.
