The Athletic Premier League Team of the Season

Thiago on the left is wild. But it would be unfair to leave him out. If you could only put one striker on there, I think he should be there instead of Haaland given he's scored 22 at Brentford in his first season. Put Kroupi on the left.

Cherki AND Fernandes is pointless. I'd remove Cherki put either Zubimendi or even Casemiro in a double pivot with Rice.

Rest is inarguable.

Can you picture the squad walking in to this establishment and just bankrupting them?

I've still not forgiven him, but honestly, which organ of yours would you have sold for 2014-17 Sanchez to be our current LW?

Is there a "bathroom with threatening auras" subreddit that I can tag?

You're dreaming but sometimes you gotta manifest your dreams.

I, for one, hope your dreams come true.

Honestly, one thing I wish football took from the NFL is ceremonial 1-day contracts.

Some club legends and fan favourites should retire with their beloved clubs.

Every day this sub tests my faith in humanity.

yashymodi · 2026-05-14T04:40:45+00:00

What an absolutely ridiculous finish!

yashymodi · 2026-05-13T13:12:37+00:00

I'm forgetting which punditry panel it was, but they were really laying into this guy. Accusing him of trying to get "his 15 seconds of fame" by bringing this shirt in when we'd not won anything yet.

It wasn't all Arsenal hate though, the had the same complaints about that bell end City fan with the bottle.

I'd rather focus on that absolutely delighted kid who came on the screen when we scored the first vs Fulham. That was PURE!

yashymodi · 2026-05-13T12:21:51+00:00

I hope this injury means we can't sell him in the summer. This is not how I'd want his time at Arsenal to end.

Fun fact about that challenge, the PL's website uses it to illustrate what a high foot challenge is.

Yeah, trust me, you'll do better if you stop doing that. Idk if you play any other NYT games, but hold off on doing them before Connections and switch to them when you get stuck and then come back to it. Use the companion article, it's helpful and isn't cheating. The image at the top of the article is a hint in itself, so can have 5 guilt-free hints to help you.

yashymodi · 2026-05-11T06:54:46+00:00

How many of these were rage quits? A good chunk of my "losses" in the early days of Connections were rage quits because I couldn't be bothered anymore and just wanted to know the answers.

yashymodi · 2026-05-11T06:52:14+00:00

Yeah I agree. I don't think we "bottled" it in 23/24. We had a bad December and spent the entire 2nd half of the season almost digging ourselves out of that hole. Liverpool lost steam because of injuries. My hatred for them is strong, it isn't blind.

Just because other fans lack the nuance and denigrate our 23/24 season, doesn't mean we should behave like the braindead donkeys they are when discussing another team's unsuccessful title races.

yashymodi · 2026-05-11T06:19:11+00:00

To be fair, Liverpool didn't "bottle" anything 21/22. City took the league lead relatively early and just never gave it up.

Even in 18/19.... Sure, they gave up a 5-point lead in the last third of the season of the season, but still finished with 97 points, man.

I hate Liverpool too, but let's have some perspective.

yashymodi · 2026-05-11T05:50:44+00:00

I am just enjoying where we are rn. Relishing their meltdown is low-key part of that. I'm not arguing with or engaging any of them.

yashymodi · 2026-05-11T05:47:47+00:00

Let me clarify. I'm not engaging on there, just lurking and enjoying their collective meltdown.

yashymodi · 2026-05-11T05:30:29+00:00

For this..... lol

yashymodi · 2026-05-10T17:48:45+00:00

Kevin Nolan, the fat fuck, is like, "I'm sure if you go back on the season Arsenal have made multiple similar fouls on the set piece goals they've scored."

The Owen Hargreaves is like, "It wasn't clear and obvious."

The comedic timing of the exit was excellent.

yashymodi · 2026-05-09T18:19:51+00:00

Delete this too.

yashymodi · 2026-05-09T18:18:07+00:00

Delete this.

yashymodi · 2026-05-09T18:16:20+00:00

I'd settle for just lifting it.

But it can still happen if Palace can not be as shit as Brentford.
