It was good to see Arsenal get last year's monkey (Aston Villa) off their back last Saturday on the road.....
Declan Rice's red card in the Arsenal/Aston Villa match looked bogus to me. The Villa player clearly threw the ball at his foot as he was walking away with his back turned, at least on my TV. If those two points wind up costing Arsenal the championship, I will not be a happy camper.
Liverpool looks surprisingly good for being under a new head coach. Man City, well, they're still looking like the horse to beat in 2024-25.....

Seriously though, that's why they invented DVRs and streaming. The ManU game is on USA network which I don't have, so I have to wait until Sunday morning to watch the replay on Peacock.....

Seeing Aston Villa in the chase is an interesting change. I watched most of the Everton match, and thought that they played better than their current position at the bottom of the table.....

Wolves on the relegation wagon since they got rid of (that running back-sized guy who was so fast and went to another league) Traoré
UncleWede wroteNo surprise. Ten Hag is at the top of the betting sheet to be the next Premier League manager sacked.....Notti above ManU???
wizardofOz wroteThat prediction didn't age well, plus they lost Saliba for next week's Liverpool match for the red card suspension.....I think Arsenal will get 3 points off Bournemouth today.
vreihen16 wrotecame here to post this lol. That sucks, very interested to see how tomorrows game between Chelsea and Liverpool end. I am guessing 3-3 draw. But I am a Chelsea fan hahaThat prediction didn't age well, plus they lost Saliba for next week's Liverpool match for the red card suspension.....
vreihen16 wroteA lot of the times, the managers always takes the brunt and the players get a free pass but Man United had several chances during the game against West Ham which the players did not take..I agree ETH getting sacked was inevitable but the players need to take their 50% aswellErik ten Hag was sacked at Man United today, which should not be a surprise with them currently sitting 14th in the table. Ironically, all of the NBC/Peacock (USA) talking heads were saying just yesterday in their studio post-game commentary that they figured he was safe until Christmas.....
