Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [30th Dec - 1st Jan 2023]

Been a cracking set of results for an Arsenal fan. Shame Wolves couldn't do us a favour.

I like the way you actually still think of Man Utd as rivals for this seasons league. Show ETH is doing something right.

As for Chelsea I think Potter will get the chop this summer. He would have been a perfect fit for a team like Spurs but he is just at the wrong point of his career to be managing a team like Chelsea.

I just want anyone with a chance of top 4 to lose as much as possible to ensure we get it (top 4).

I think we are, at long last, on the right track. Another couple of players in the right places and we should be fairly solid. ETH has done a very good job after what was a pretty shaky start. We're clearly in a better place than Chelsea and Spurs right now, though we have potential ownership related issues looming.

The real test for Arsenal is yet to come - when expectation shifts and people think they may actually win the league - can the players and Arteta handle that pressure? We'll see. I'd previously written off Arteta as a bit of a fraud, but he may well prove me wrong.

What test? Bar city and an inform Newcastle, have we not had many tough games?

I said what the test is - sustained results as the finish line nears... we're not even half way yet.

Winning tough games isn't that big of a deal, the league is so strong any team can drop points at any time.

Reactions: fez
Yea that is true.

I think we should see where arsenal are by game 30.

Yeah, thats when I will start to believe Arsenal can win it. 7 point gap after 30 games. Yep. That might do it.

Arsenal have:

Newcastle
Tottenham
Man Utd

In their next 3 games. They could lose any of those or win all three. Big couple of weeks and if they can come out of those games with 9 points their confidence will be sky high.
 
Chelsea have the same issues United have struggled with for years. Bit of a mish mash of a squad with a mentality issue. Arsenal had an inferiority complex for years and United/Chelsea were the rich kid at school who’s parents always told they they were the best because they were from good stock despite evidence showing the contrary.

Given backing and 2-3 years I reckon Potter could do well. He won’t get that at Chelsea right now.

Spurs is just Conte being Conte along with Levy being Levy. Spurs have a bang average side outside a few of their players.

Awful interview from Potter. No confidence at all.
If Chelsea don’t get champions league potter will be gone, he would do an excellent job if given time, but that’s one thing he won’t get at Chelsea
 
Am I the only one annoyed with the 5:30 kickoff today. It’s a Monday, why couldn’t we just have MNF with an 8pm KO as usual?
It's a bank holiday so public transport to and from the match will be limited, particularly later in the evening. I'd like to think the PL took the decision to make life easier for supporters but it's more likely that the police and or the local council influenced the kick-off time.
