Won't Leicester be deducted points at some stage too, as i think they were already charged for failing FFP?killerandflash said:
Indeed, I think they will do better than Leicester who are badly hamstrung by FFP.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Ipswich are set to sign Sammie Szmodics from Blackburn, highlighting the Championship feel of the squad.
Signing top players from the league below, which may or may not work in the PL, but if they do go back down they've at least got a top quality championship player for next season.0 -
Spurs signing 19yr old Winger Wilson Odobert from Burnley. Looked good in flashes for Burnley but assume this is a depth signing.0

Apparently won't be decided until some time in 2025. I presume it has to be decided before the season finishes though.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

I’ve got a feeling they might surprise a few next season. Made some sensible signings and have a very good manager.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Maguire booked for a dive - glad to see that VAR didn’t get involved0

Pathetic diving anyway but now there's VAR....Callumcafc said:Maguire booked for a dive - glad to see that VAR didn’t get involved0 -
Right, ahead of PL 2024/2025, here's my prediction...
1. Arsenal
2. Liverpool
3. Man City*
4. Aston Villa
5. Spurs
6. West Ham
7. Newcastle
8. Man Utd
9. Chelsea
18. Southampton
19. Ipswich
20. Leicester
Arsenal win it comfortably. Liverpool have got a free hit under Arnie Slot and the fans will give him time. Man City finish 3rd but could be much lower if they are docked points. Spurs finish outside the top 5. West Ham surprise everyone and finish above Newcastle, Man Utd and Chelsea.

Last summer Villa sold Cameron Archer to Sheffield United for £18m.
Then in July they exercised a relegation clause and bought him back.
Now they've sold him to Southampton for £15m.
I'm sure there is a logic to all this!0 -
I agree that this is the year Arsenal finally do it, they've continued to improve year on year and i think if they do that again they'll be champions. However the disclaimer here will be that this depends what City do in the final 2 weeks of the window. For me they are currently weaker than last season and any injury that puts Rodri out for more than 3-4 games will see them in trouble.JohnBoyUK said:Right, ahead of PL 2024/2025, here's my prediction...

I can't see Villa being as high as 4th, their squad isn't strong enough to cope with CL football as well so i think we'll see a drop off as they juggle that and the league. People also need to remember that the CL has expanded so sides will now play 8 group games that continue into January and then some sides will go into a play off. You could have to play TEN games to reach the last 16. That's a lot to manage.
I think Chelsea will be a lot higher than 9th, and if they sign Osimhen i think they'll be top 4. They're also only in the conference league so should be able to rotate their squad easily.
Currently i'd go 1. Arsenal 2. City 3. Liverpool 4. Spurs 5. Chelsea 6. United. 7. Newcastle. But that could change depending what other signings we see in the next fortnight.0 -
Southampton's squad still feels a bit " players that have been really good in the Championship" in places especially up front with Stewart, Archer,Adam Armstrong and Bereton-Diaz. Will be interesting to see if Russell Martin can adapt his style to the Prem or if they get a couple of hammerings early on with how they play.0

Genius really, even if the buy back clause was as high as £10m, they've still managed to make a £23m profit on him - Great way to beat FFP as well wonder if they have put another relegation clause in this deal lol!killerandflash said:Last summer Villa sold Cameron Archer to Sheffield United for £18m.

No Joe Gomez in the Liverpool squad today... Cmon Liverpool, sell him for £80m and give us that windfall5

Ian Maatsen on the bench for Aston Villa tonight... I didnt realise the players that West Ham have brought in this summer0

Nice of Sky to give us a foreign interviewer... So we not only struggle to understand the answers, but also get to struggle the understand the questions0

Not sure how West Ham get this penalty... Cash has got his toe on the ball as he's gone in for the tackle, and the VAR referee has said he doesnt think Cash makes an attempt to get the ball?0
-
Cash sticks out a leg and touches the ball.Ruled as “not an attempt to touch the ball”
Regardless of the decision (some will agree and some won’t).But the language VAR use…They really don’t help themselves.2 -
This referee is dreadful.0
-
That is a ridiculous decision. How can you get any consistency when that’s given, there would be 10 pens every weekend if there was.0

Someone with a ruler and a spreadsheet could probably explain it to us - or at least they would think they're explaining it.stackitsteve said:Cash sticks out a leg and touches the ball.Ruled as “not an attempt to touch the ball”

They've just said the VAR judged it that "there was a touch but not a clear play of the ball".
I mean, wtf does that even mean? Just seen it - he sticks out his leg and gets a flick on the ball and then the two collide. It's absolute bullshit.3 - Sponsored links:

Getting a touch on the ball does not mean it’s not a foul0

Of course but he got a touch on the ball then the ‘major’ contact was made. Literally nothing he could do about it.MrOneLung said:Getting a touch on the ball does not mean it’s not a foul1 -

South London treble.
Perfect football weekend!4 -
For all the talk about the Referee blowing his whistle too early, for that Palace disallowed goal - Wasn't there a game @ Shithurst Park a few years ago, where the referee blew for a Free-Kick against Palace, just as the team blew the net.
So again the goal that day couldnt go to VAR0 -
Funny…..but terrible decision.ForeverAddickted said:

Not something that usually bothers me - but Chelsea’s Shirt! Looks like it was designed by a 4 year old.1
