Everton were the better team by far until the slapping incident. They relied on breakaways and got one. Defended deep after that. United were bad to ordinary. Can’t see United troubling top six on that show. Problem is can’t see Spurs challenging either. If we can get a run on we can challenge this lot yet.

The whole mid table is tight as the promoted teams took some early pts and not as much consistency outside of arsenal and chelsea. Any kind of winning run sees us climb the table quickly.
 
I see Ronaldo has had two of his three match suspension for his red card suspended so that he can play in all the World Cup matches.

Would FIFA have done that for, say, Anderson or Saka?
 
Arsenal are too good.
Proof that to win anything, it starts from the back. Their more defensively solid play this season has just been dominating everyone.
 
Meanwhile in the Championship, after a poor start that suggested their magic run is over, Wrexham have gone 8 games unbeaten and are now just 2 points outside the playoffs, but in 10th place.

They've not been in the news as much this season, but they are really showing something now. It'd definitely be a good story to see them get promoted again, straight from the Conference to the Premier League getting promoted every season.

I don't care how much Hollywood cash they've got, that would be a crazy achievement.

Holly wood cash got them to the Championship but now they are starting to meet owners with far more financial clout than they have.

They haven’t had a proper wobble yet so it will be interesting to see what happens when they do.

I'd say they have tbh.
They were in the bottom 3 earlier in the season. They've had to recover and work their way back up the table.
Interestingly, O'Brien wasn't even in the team yesterday, I don't know if he's injured or just out of favour though.

Really?
Tin-pot club riding on the crest of a min-wave.
They need to drop back down to league 1 where they belong with Brentford & Bournemouth.

They were adapting and still picking up points so I am waiting to see how they react to a bad ten game run.

I think it would be funny if they got themselves into the Prem but I don’t think it will be this season.
