I agree that the arsenal from two years ago looked better than what they've looked this season, at least in the PL. Going 8-0-0 in the CL group stage was very impressive though. | ||

I'm not even sure Pool can overcome the 0:1 deficit. Gala playing decent and Pool still defending like amateurs. Arsenal and Barca should advance by all accounts but you never know who is gonna throw | ||

Man City and Liverpool, the teams you would expect to be aiming for 90 points, are both quite poor. Arsenal are playing really well imo and have addressed their biggest problem, which was having the killer instinct and mental strength to get the win no matter what in most cases. | ||

That was totally ridiculous what the two were doing for years. I don't think the league is poor this year. It's just that many clubs are on similar strength plus similar fatigue imo | ||

It's just that many clubs are on similar strength plus similar fatigue imo I don't think it's particularly controversial to suggest that Liverpool and City aren't doing as well this season tbh. You just have to look at results/the table. As they were the two top teams, that necessarily means that the level at top relative to everyone else has gone down a bit. | ||

It's just that many clubs are on similar strength plus similar fatigue imo i dont expect them to be hitting 90 points every season. but the reason i say the league is poor is because no other team in the league has looked like genuine contenders for at least half a season now, if not more. arsenal have been given a chance to run away with the league and they will, even if they arent playing at their best and with what i consider to be boring football by arsenals standards historically | ||

The five game win streak vs City, Atletico, Inter 2x and Sporting is definitely far superior to anything Rosenborg managed in a single season though. | ||

CAF gonna CAF. Senegal has already appealed so now the CAS is going to look at it, which is a slightly less corrupt organisation. We'll see, but let's face it: walking off the field in protest over a penalty could very well be forfeit-worthy. That said, everything that happened was farcical. The ref whistling early to annul Senegal's goal. The extremely light touch that caused the penalty in the 98th effing minute. It was all ridiculous. But so was walking off for 15 min. | ||

They started late but they are the best team in the second half of the season with 2,18 points to Arsenals 2,08 points | ||

Yeah they’ve somehow ended up in a worst of worlds scenario. I’ve no issue with Senegal being made to forfeit at the time, but punishing them after the fact in this way isn’t going to make anyone happy. I mean maybe some Moroccans will feel they won the thing, but I’d certainly find it very hollow and dissatisfying given they did lose on the field of play ultimately. They lose that moment | ||

League average is like 2,5 No surprises though who won in the end. On paper City/ Real could have gone either way the others had all clear favorites | ||
