EPL 2022/23


Recommended Posts

Wasn't the argument that it wouldn't necessarily be a bottle job if Arsenal didn't win the league? The logic being that losing points to City & Liverpool wouldn't exactly be shock results, but enough to lose the lead.

As it transpired, events were much more hilarious. Someone said back then they wouldn't be surprised if City won by 10 points, which is looking very likely.

Whether a club, in any league in the world, 'bottled' a league title has to be the most fucking boring and irrelevant discussion in all of sport, not just football.

I do find it funny they bottled it but I am quite surprised at how many people seem happy they didn’t win.

I thought that people might want them to win, in the same way they were cheering for Leicester the season they won it.

I suspect that most of these people would have been able to derive about as much joy from Manchester City "blowing it" if it had gone the other way

A two horse title race guarantees some form of schadenfreude for everybody else

Yeah that’s true, any team being seen as bottling it would probably be laughed at.

Leicester don't have a media channel full of rockets like Arsenal Fan TV

I’ll hold my hands up and say that I haven’t always been Howard Webb’s biggest fan but fair play to him for fronting up on MNF like a proper football man. We’ve heard more from the big man in the last 6 months than we ever did from that Mike Riley.

Presumably there’s a reason the Liverpool right back who’s the ‘best right back in the world’ can barely get into his country’s national team squad?
