Serves Bogle right ( own goal) for smashing into the back of Odegard a few minutes earlier … Karma !!

It's Sheffield Utd Brighton have scored 10 against them in the last month, even Burnley hit 5 past them.

Another horrendous tackle from Bogle on Odegard !!

That’s a red card offence. .. gets a yellow

Saka taken off for his protection … hopefully Odegard is taken off soon

What a goal from Benny Blanco. Scandalous that he cant even get in the England squad never mind the team.

Jorginho....wow!!!!. Put some legs around him and we are seeing some player.

I was nervous about this game. It was a potential banana skin

[GiRTh]

Injury to Martinelli doesn't look good. Going down the tunnel he couldn't put any kind of pressure on his left leg. I hope he's OK

[Zizu]

Ben White should be starting for England !!

If only due to his adaptability ..

Full back / centre back .. in a back 3 , 4 or 5

Was it a twist or a foul ?

Oh and going back to my suggestion that ManC haven’t been too impressive of late ( Luton aside) .. ..

Arsenal’s last three away results are 5:0 , 5:0 and 6:0 .

Now that’s my idea of impressive ..

Nice to see so many players with sweet left foots dominating currently

Odegard and Saka , Palmer at Chelsea , Foden and Bernado Silva , Salah and Elliot , West Ham’s key player Lucas Paquetá


I’m sure I’ve missed a few

Aston Villa have reported a loss of Ł119.6m in their latest accounts up to 31 May 2023.

The accounts cover a period that saw Villa finish seventh in the Premier League to qualify for Europe.

Villa say the figures are "in line with the strategic business plan" and within the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules.

PSR rules, introduced in 2015-16, permit losses of up to Ł105m in a three-year spell.

They are going to have to do a bit of selling in the next couple of years

Thank God that international sh!te has finished. Didn't watch one minute of England, no interest in friendlies.

Massive game on Sunday.

I'm really looking forward to this run in

Yeah, i only have real hate for Spurs. So not bothered who wins the title out of Arsenal, Liverpool and City. It really is set up for an exciting finish!

I think Arsenal are stronger this year. The only time I would say Arsenal have underperformed in the league were against Newcastle and Fulham. Arsenal should have beaten West Ham in December and had much the better chances. Arsenal kept Liverpool to .,98XG at Anfield and no scouse fan is gonna tell me they were the better team on the day and we beat them 3-1 at the Emirates and again no scouse fan is even gonna attempt to tell me they were in that game. We had to score their goal for them they toothless upfront. We've beaten Man City and Man Utd too.

I see a team that may be hardened from the experience of last year. I hope but there is a lot of football to play

Well tbf, Arsenal fit the bottlers term more than Spurs imo.

Tottenham were never really leading the title race in the 2015/16 season, where as Arsenal had an 8 point gap on Man City last season, and bottled it against Southampton, Man City, Liverpool, and West Ham.

Tbf I can understand them not beating Liverpool and Man City in those matches, but Southampton and West Ham should've been absolute victories for Arsenal.

And look I don't say that to rub it in, I really wanted Arsenal to stop Man City last season, and I would be happy for Arsenal if they were to win the League this season.

However I will definitely agree with the side that says that Arsenal bottled it last season.

Referees are corrupt in every Country.

It's just like how we're meant to believe that the officials didn't spot Maradona's "Hand Of God" when even Stevie Wonder could see it.

Foden is overrated, as is Jack Grealish imo.

Man City's best players are KDB and Rodri.

Same here.

Roll on our chaotic season, starting with QPR in a few hours time.

[bitontheslide]

I dont think Grealish will be at Man City next season

Foden has been City's best player this season, so i disagree that he is over rated

I think that Foden is talented, but I do think that he gets bonus points for being English.

Slight tangent but I wonder how ambitious the young United youngster is ?

He may have champions league or trophy ambitions ..

I’ve heard a few rumours suggesting that Mainoo may be snapped up by one the elite teams in the summer .. especially if he continues to impress in the league and then the Euros !!

it's difficult to know or predict what united will do in the summer. They need to clear out a lot of players and it depends if Mainoo is seen as a part of those plans. Being an academy player, if they sell him, its pure profit which helps a lot with FFP

[Swan]

The Newcastle/Hammers game looks like it was mental!
