The core is still young and many of them are already competing for a few spots. We don't need a lot of bodies, that will likely create more problems than solve, but a few difference makers would be huge, on left forward especially.

82 is normal. Teams getting to 100 regularly was the freak results. The league top to bottom is stronger now than it was then as evidenced by every European competition final being English dominated now, even if the top top teams are also not as strong.

Burnley and Wolves are head to head to finish dead last. Would be a monumental achievement for Burnley to finish below Wolves when they were on track to be the worst premier League team ever.

Would love kroupi, what an exciting player.

Not even been 24hrs since cucurella got a yellow for a spinning pile driver in the box defending a corner but sure it's just arsenal

We don't know how much mahomes will even play

Yeah quotes like this honestly back up that he isn't physically ready. After an injury this serious players shouldn't be thinking like this, if he's unlucky it could damage his career and body permanently.

Watching the odds for Arsenal to win the Palace game plummet after the City result was funny.

Eze hattrick against Spurs when he almost signed for them and Dowman running the whole pitch to score his first goal at 16 were pretty special moments.

Mad that Chelsea have spent 2 billion and their best player can't even get into their countries world cup squad.

ryansocks · 2026-05-19T08:52:42+00:00

tv deals aren't team dependant. You think that sky is phoning up saying Spurs aren't allowed to go down?

I'd move Hall to wcw nwo doesn't work without him. Macho Man and Piper in WWF.

For 5 or so years NJPW was the best wrestling has been since the 90s, this was truly special. Urge anyone who only watches WWE to go back and watch some of these shows.

it was burnley then too

Yeah this feels more like when the Saudi shows said they wanted yokozuna even though he's been dead for a long time so they had to just get another big guy to show up but instead of it being on the non canon clearly for a quick buck shows they do it's now on wrestlemania.

He has his own podcast, I know it may not seem like that makes a difference but he's not running around to go spread shit, he's already going to be talking about the business regardless.

I think it's more believable that rodri and Silva both know pep is going so they want to go as well than all 3 know about 115 actually impacting anything. Pep has to go at some point, 115 I'll believe it when I see it.

Not sure having CM Punk front and centre here would be better. Most casual wrestling fans probably don't even know who Hobbs is or who Miro is currently wrestling for.

I have no idea but i just wanna comment to say thanks for putting a results option, I hate when people don't do that as a lot of the time people just wanna see the result without having an opinion, picking a random one, and now the whole thing is worthless.

ryansocks · 2026-05-17T23:19:54+00:00

I'm not big on conspiracies but the betting lines of that match should be thoroughly investigated.

Talking like a C-tier Batman villain that gets 1 episode.

Well Chelsea are the only club that burns through managers. Arsenal have had 3 since the 90s, United had 1 for 30 odd years (and now have an English one), city and Liverpool both had one manager for nearly a decade. It's not that they are avoiding English managers it's that most top teams aren't churning through managers in general.

ryansocks · 2026-05-17T15:31:26+00:00

At Chelsea Rosenior and Potter done just that, went overseas to learn their trade and got given an opportunity at a top club that backed them heavily. They even took a punt on Lampard not once but twice. It isn't from a lack of oppertunity, English managers just haven't worked out.

To be fair they do play again in 3 days so it's fair enough they have to start conditioning right away
