Premier League 2022/23

5th at the end of April is just absurd.

26 points from a possible 30 in the last 10 is a ridiculous turnaround. 

Glad to see Emery is smashing it.

Spurs have refunded away fans tickets from Sunday. Should be pro rata'd based on how much of it they actually watched, most just had a lovely afternoon in town.

Went to read a match preview for Chelsea v Brentford tonight and was appropriately ridiculed:

 

There’s a massive game in this midweek round of the Premier League, kicking off at 8pm local time tonight, between league-leaders Arsenal and title-favorites Manchester City.

But in case a title-deciding six-pointer is not your flavor, you can torture yourself with a match between two of the least in-form teams in the league, neither of whom have anything to fight for the rest of the way, mired deeply in the mediocrity of midtable.

...

Chelsea team news: That’s now seven straight without a win (five of those at home!), with four defeats on the bounce in all competitions. We’ve scored just one goal in our last six games.

Can it get any worse? Surely not. But then again, surely yes.

 

That's me told.

I’m really not ready for tonight’s game. Bag of nerves.

If you had Emery's PPG (which I think is 2.2) over the extra 12 games Gerrard managed you'd be second place.

And here I thought playing Conor Gallagher at striker was some weird one-off "we're 2-0 down against Real Madrid, got to bust out something desperate" shtick from Lampard, but NOPE. He's here again at home to Brentford.

We have 500 wingers/forwards and the only one who gets a start is Sterling.  This shit is wild.

[Colly]

I put Gallagher in my draft team for the bantz. He's going to come off on 58 minutes after a booking.

[stokeriño]

In fairness he's our only player who's scored a goal in the last 550+ minutes of football, so his form is red hot.

[Lineker]

Great goal by de Bruyne.

[FLiam]

We got caught with too many players forward there. We should have conceded a penalty shortly before that too.

Not a good start really.

[Colly]

The one where De Bruyne kicked Partey? Never a pen, clear free kick, unless it's another I didn't see?

Feel like Ramsdale should have done better on his near post too.

He did but I think Partey came across with no attempt to play the ball. Seen penalties given for less, I think we were lucky.

Chelsea did a goal!

I overestimated him. No booking at least.

Arteta: Takes a shambolic Arsenal side from firm midfield to challenging for the title and a (very likely but throughly earned) second place finish. Currently losing to one of the best teams in history.

Arsenal twitter: arteta is an idiot, he knows nothing about tactics and persists with Rob Holding, he should take him off and put on Trossard and just try to score more

[stokeriño]

lol 2-0 Brentford

[Dang117]

Second was a little bit questionable looked like Stones was offside but De Bryunes first and second goals were just great.

It's a shame Arteta has done a really good job with this Arsenal side its just a shame, he's came up against arguably the best City squad they've had.
