@Cyclops Apparently Chelsea are paying 200K / week of Raheem's salary and the Sanch sale clause is if they finish 14th or above.
the circus that is Chelsea continues to entertain.
It may be a genius move but letting a guy go who is 20th all time in goals scored in the EPL and bringing in a guy who has no track record at all in the EPL is ...... strange. Canny for Arsenal, not sure if he will start in their first team but Sterling is handy off the bench and to start cup games.
Interesting to see the difference in Slot to Klopp so far, they seemed to be playing Sloppball or Klotball - he wants them to be as dynamic in attack but not to be as reckless - I think Slot has seen that they have been too loose at times and if you give your opposition too many chances, you'll lose a few games.

Haaland is deadly with a chance. Just lethal. A real striker.
Pffft, still behind Chris Wood in EPL goals.

I'm about to kick off my TSL competition which I have been running for nearly 30 years - some of the people here are either entering or have entered in the past. If you fancy joining, drop me a PM and I will email the details - you will have to pick a team of 11 players before the weekend and you score a point if one of your players scores a goal.
And to bridge the gap before the EPL returns, please list all of the teams that have finished in the top 6 of the EPL since the Premier League started - there are 21 clubs in all. 8 clubs have done only 1 season in the top 6, 7 clubs have 10 or more.

Aston Villa smack Young Boys in the Wankdorf stadium to go top of the fucking Champions League.
I still can't believe Watkins had his goal disallowed

@KiwiPie the Athletic ranked every EPL's first and second team in order (plus CXhelseas third) Meaning 41 teams in total.
Man City were first and fourth!!
There wasn't much difference between the two Fulham squads 8 places I think - with both squads ahead of this season promoted sides first XI's.
- apart from Benda that's a fighting for 17th team
That's fine in theory but there's clearly quite a gulf between them although sadly both seem unable to score goals.
At least it wasn't Crawley as it was two years ago but this game told Silva nothing.

Another comeback win for Aston Villa. 3rd in the table at the minute. Unai Emery has got this team absolutely flying.
We were horrendous in the first half and were lucky to only be down by 1.
Barkley and Duran (of course) changed the game when they came on.
We need a right back. Konsa, despite his goal, isn't great there and isn't great going forward mainly due to being a centre back, and there's always mistakes in Carlos when he's out there when it would be better if Konsa was at centre back. Bogarde got given a go but doesn't look ready yet, and Cash, despite the fact that I feel we could upgrade on him, is still our best bet there.

What a fantastically eventful game between Man City and Arsenal. So many talking points!
Both teams feel hard done by - perfect! Arse will be kicking themselves as they almost made it but switched off with time almost up to allow a short corner and Kovacic a shot inside the area.

Again, no consistency from the ref over giving a YC for kicking the ball away. It seems only Arsenal players are booked for that!
Which incident are you referring to?
Doku in this game, and Joao Pedro for Brighton.
