Premier League 19/20 Season

Hans Moleman wrote: Arsenal are very interesting imo, they look diabolical at times yet Arteta has lost very few matches in recent times. Much like Spurs, they are teams who I have a gut feeling about putting a run together. Logically, Chelsea and Wolves should take 4th and 5th, but I think there could be a fierce battle yet.

I actually reckon Arsenal could be well suited to the empty stadiums, they're a team that always look edgy with crowds get on their backs.

24 goals and 25 assists in 102 PL games for Pogba. World Cup winner, including decisive goal in the final. Multiple title wins in a top league. Every single person who's been at the training ground, past player past coach or otherwise speaks of his positive attitude and leadership, even players who left the club in acrimonious circumstances and have no reason to sugar coat anything. You won't get a single person who's spent time in Carrington to speak badly of him. Agent is constantly angling for a move but he has the same agent as De Ligt and Haaland, Haaland in particular being a player United were fools to miss out on supposedly despite having Raiola for an agent. But yeah, it's him that's the toxic problem

Leeds are a club that should be in the Premier League. A proper good support and genuinely big club. Barring a couple of renditions of 'we're BY FAR THE GREATEST TEAM' the Premier League's support genuinely is atrocious. Leeds have a great one any time i see them. I also think that there's no more disheartening thing for a club about where they are when their historic rivals genuinely wish them the best

I wanted City to come back to the EPL and they played really good football under him from what I remember. It was only because I wanted United's cross-city rival to be back in the EPL.  I know Newcastle have an atrocious record the last 5/6 times they played Sunderland and as much as their fans are getting a laugh out of Sunderland's demise, there must be some part of them that misses the derby with their biggest rivals.      There's nothing better than getting one over on rivals. it's what football is all about, no matter how big or small a team is. Everyone who says 'X former local rival is just an irrelevance to us now' is still looking at the fixture list to see when they're playing them.

All the leagues just seem a bit pointless now with no fans and such a long break.  I would agree to an extent, it's a completely different sport now and the integrity of lots of leagues and competitions could be questioned. At the same time, it's nice to watch football at any time. Even if the games aren't a patch on the standard they were months ago. I have to say as well, the piped in crowd noises are embarrassing.

Alot of Bundesliga games have been quite entertaining, and that's coming from someone who normally wouldn't watch that league, same with La Liga this weekend .......I honestly think the lack of a crowd would only come into affect watching the team you support .........from a neutral point of view I've not seen anything life changing and certainly not in the standard of play

Brittle Arsenal coming back. Two subs already due to injury. 

English f0-0tball just isn't the same since C0-0vid. 

David Luiz back to his best
