Premier League 2024/25

But this is quite normal human psychology if you are a fan, and maybe not an indictment in itself, I think. Resenting the success of the Top Dog is normal.
People on this forum always hope Everton lose too, after all and Liverpool is Top Dog in the city of Liverpool.

I will speak for myself - I donā€™t always hope they lose as much as I hope they get relegated.

Haha, Mutu definitely got done for coke, iirc Chelsea sacked him and he ended up getting fined about Ā£15m, probably the most expensive line in history lol

No idea on Kezman thoughā€¦

Kezman has pledged to become a Monk one day.

Unpopular to say something before Christmas, I guess. But, I am now convinced that we will win the league. We can afford either a shorter total collapse or very uneven form over the rest of the season. I think the chances of both happening are very slim.

So sayeth my crystal ball !

Donā€™t do it to yourself, mate.

We wonā€™t.

Expect nothing and you wonā€™t be disappointed.

I am usually very cautious and wary, but even so, I would be very surprised if we donā€™t. City is having a terrible season, they are in actual problems, there is a lack of harmony and their system is not working properly (oh, I think they will vastly improve later on, but I do think it will be too late by then). Arsenal, I donā€™t think can catch us and I also donā€™t have faith that Chelsea can go on such a long victorious run necessary to catch us.

Because to not win, we must collapse and other teams must go on a very long victorious run. I am really not a naive optimist and I would not bet life savings on this; but I think the chances are incredibly high. But usually, i warn people like you do now :slight_smile:
Iā€™ll take the humiliation and the fall, if we donā€™t :wink:

Alternatively, the refs can fuck us over.

As they do every year.

I know you think so, but there are limits to that, even if they are after us. If we play well and score on chances, there is only so much a ā€œhostileā€ ref can do and get away with his job.

Your naivety is almost charming.

Anyway, here are the latest title odds:

Iā€™m barred by the company offering 17-2 about Manchester City, so I have taken the 8s.

They are just normal men with some football knowledge.

I am not, as I use proper magic and offer up dark rites to the gods.
Why do you think City are having problems ? Could itā€¦perhapsā€¦have something to do with the latest news concerning the inexplicable loss of a thousand young goats here in Norway, as well as the disapearance of a not inconsiderable number of hen from various poultry farms around the country ?
Maybe, but I am not telling. Officially anyway.

I disapprove of any title claims before April. We have two tough away games coming up. We could lose four points by this time next week. Then our lead doesnā€™t look so impregnable.
Of course weā€™re all caught up in the excitement of the last couple of performances, but no matter how much you might dislike him, Arteta was right, every team has a bad patch and we will have ours too.
Of course Iā€™m very happy with how things are going, but predicting a title at this stage is premature, and we all know what disappointment that leads to.
