I would want it to happen because I can't stand Pep, but it's very difficult to happen. Arsenal doesn't have a "title winning" defence IMO, but they can do serious damage to any team with their creative players. And no way in hell Arsenal's eventual title winning would have a similar situation to Milan. Arsenal is playing great football and also deservedly are leading the table so far. Milan just took advantage of some of the most idiotic calls by the referees and their ugly football, but I get your point though.

I remember when Newcastle signed Trippier as the first PIF incoming players, I laughed and thought, here he goes for the smell of cash to play in the slumtown of UK.

Not a stupid choice now, eh. They are solid and CL places.

Usually I’d be indifferent to whoever wins the PL, but after the acquisition of Haaland and Arsenals form coming out of seemingly nowhere and being first at the time when I placed the bet, I thought including Man City was a good way of increasing the odds while maintaining a very high chance of winning. Starting to get a little worried, not gonna lie. I also have the creeping suspicion that Guardiola will go all out to win the CL and could possibly neglect the PL at some point. I’d love to see Man City beating Arsenal, but I’m not sure if that game even has a date yet, I think it was postponed due to the queens death.

I know we have different opinions on Milan. I agree there was a lot of shithousery involved when they finished 2nd in 2020/21. Naturally I assumed it was a fluke and thought they would head downhill again after losing Donnarumma and Calhanoglu for free. I think it was when they comfortably beat Lazio in the first half of last season where I was quite sure they could actually pull off the scudetto.

In that sense it would be kinda comparable I guess, since an Arsenal league title would be as unexpected as Milan’s before their respective seasons started.

Arsenal not finishing top 4 in 6 consecutive seasons and winning the title now would surprise me a lot.

Bro Trent is amazing, 3 possessions in a row he made pitch-perfect passes to players on the move, surrounded by opposition players and one of them was a 1st touch pass, I don't care how non-existent he is on defense he offers something special.

He's having a good game, but don't forget how many goals they've conceded this year because opposition targets his area when attacking.

He should do a position change like Bale

Trent would be amazing as a RWB

Today's Chelsea - Arsenal game (again) showed that
1. Arsenal has amazing pressing
2. Xhaka excels in the B2B role
3. Jorginho is done on this level (I rate Brozo and Calhanoglu higher)
4. Mount and Havertz, who were balling not-so-long-ago, are totally off. I wonder if that's something to do with Potter

My prediction about Scamacca being the new Cutrone of Premier league looking pretty solid so far

Cutrone 12 games 2 goals
Scamacca 12 games 2 goals.

oh, and Scamacca played almost 400 minutes more.

Conte with 3 loses in the last 4 games and even the win vs Bournemouth came in the last seconds... Perisic unlucky today with hitting the post twice.

This AFTV vs DT is gonna be better than Icardi vs Wanda.
