2025 - 2026 Premier League thread

One spot off of the playoffs, 2 points away from that spot. 7th in the first year in the Championship is still pretty damn impressive.
Would be so cool to see, imagine the added focus on the EPL. It’s a great story.
There is one mid-week game on TV:
Wednesday
3:00 pm EDT -- Man C. vs. Crystal Palace (USA Network)
Wednesday
3:00 pm EDT -- Man C. vs. Crystal Palace (USA Network)
If you think spy gate helped they would be in playoff, Southamptons run was apparently helped by scUMesque spying.

The Premier League app shows Villa v. Liverpool on Peacock. It’s been wrong before.
I thought they were cooked after the loss at Man City. I was wrong. Blowing it at the end of the season seemed to be what Artetta does. It looks like Crystal is the one game they must and should win. If they dont win it this year it will be painful. I think most Man City fans did not expect it to be this close in what is essentially their rebuilding year.
Notwithstanding winning the League last season, 'Pool is following in the footsteps of the mistakes ManU, Tottenham and Chelsea have done with regard to recent manager/coaching hires.
Going to rue not cutting their losses and letting Xabi slip to a competitor.

I'm sure you will take it anyway you can get it, but do you prefer to win it on the field or would you be just as happy with a MC tie/loss tomorrow?
Whichever way it rolls. I will be rooting hard for Bournemouth tomorrow, of course. A tie would clinch the title for Arsenal. Bournemouth still has a chance to overtake Liverpool for 5th and a Champion’s League berth.
It wasn’t an easy two hours this afternoon. I’d rather not watch Sunday’s matches with my nuts six inches higher than recommended.
