haaland has been good and its a credit to him to have as many goals as he does in peps system, which honestly isnt that suited to haalands game, but imo the 9 that city really needed was and probably still is kane.
haaland would have been better suited for a team like united, with games more back to front and space to run in behind. city needs a 9 that can do all the things a midfielder does but can also finish at the top. only kane fits that profile imo

Zlatan had 16 goals in 29 la liga games. Not a great number for a striker for that Barcelona team, tbh. (Eto'o had 30 in 36 the season before). Haaland is at 25 in 20 in the PL. Sure, he didn't score in the previous game. But then he had a hat trick in the game before.

edit: I could agree that someone like Kane would be a better fit for City, but no matter how you slice it, Haaland has been great. The striker with 1.25 goals per game isn't the cause of problems for a team.

How good was Keylor Navas for Forest! Still the most underrated goalkeeper in the world for me

if they get points deducted gg no re. easiest win of arsenals life

so apparently its over 100 charges across 9 seasons. anything less than a massive points deduction would be an absolute embarrassment. honestly they should be relegated this season

Interesting to see how bad this is, whether it's just some over-evaluation of a sponsorship deal or real shady stuff like paying players through other companies.

Chelsea board must be on the edge of their seats at the moment, good thing they probably have 4 years to prepare for the same circus.

Alot of it is simply not providing the information that the Premier League need to investigate I think, but its over a very long time.

I can't help thinking the government's recently postponed 'independent regulator for the Premier League' report might have something to do with it.

I also think thatn nothing will happen, clubs like Man City, Chelsea, Newcastle will kick fair play regulations in the head because their ridiculous amount of money can fix everything and how corrupt PL and UEFA are.

Point deduction i highly doubt will come this season anyway it will be next i would think. Pep is the interesting party here, he said if they have lied to him, he will leave.
