    Looks Salah may be goneburger in the January window.

    Meanwhile Villa win in the last minute against Arsenal and it is 3 clubs separated by 3 points.

    9 wins from 10 by Aston Villa in the league. Last time we achieved that was December 1919.

    Very happy days. 😎

    @KiwiPie said in EPL 2025/26:

    World Cup Draw

    Group A: Mexico, South Korea, South Africa, Qualifier
    Group B: Canada, Switzerland, Qatar, Qualifier
    Group 😄 Brazil, Morocco, Scotland, Haiti
    Group 😨 USA, Australia, Paraguay, Qualifier
    Group E: Germany, Ecuador, Côte d’Ivoire, Curacao
    Group F: Netherlands, Japan, Tunisia, Qualifier
    Group G: Belgium, IR Iran, Egypt, New Zealand
    Group H: Spain, Uruguay, Saudi Arabia, Cabo Verde
    Group I: France, Senegal, Norway, Qualifier
    Group J: Argentina, Austria, Algeria, Jordan
    Group K: Portugal, Colombia, Uzbekistan, Qualifier
    Group L: England, Croatia, Panama, Ghana

    Is that about as good a group as the All Whites could have hoped for? Looks to me like one that you could at least dream about qualifying from as the 4th seed, unlike say, the German or Brazilian group.

    There was a reason Bournemouth fans shouted "stop the comp" when we reached second.

    Some key players already prepping for their new summer teams. Bees always a bogey team, but confidence is down, Evanilson cant hit anything, Petro is a shadow of himself, hoping Dennis is called in and Paulsen called back from loan. Senesi and Semenyo already playing for their new sides. If anyone wants Tav happy to see him go. Thankfully 2 teams already looking like they're down and suddenly we're back in the third race

    Matt Law, the best sauce for all things Chelsea FC, is confirming that Head Coach Enzo Maresca will leave the club today. A big row kicked off with his board when he failed to distance himself from the possibility of taking over at Manchester City in the summer.

    The new owners at Chelsea are a shambles.

    All of the tumult and churn at the manager position as under Abramovich but nothing close to the level of onfield success. And in not talking in terms of trophies, 2025 Chelsea is just not a team that can grind out wins, rain or shine like even the most average squads with Abramovich could do. There is no winning mentality.

    Same thing applies to the playing staff - too much churn, you can't be successful if every season you are turning over a decent percentage of your players.

    Nicholas Jackson might have been rough round the edges but Delap has been no upgrade. They just dont retain enough players to be able to build continuity.

    They talk in terms of sustainability and long term but to do that you have to create a core and build around it.
