Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Sunderland players seem a bit upset, while their fans are doing their impression of Spurs and West Ham fans by leaving early.

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

5-0 was pretty amazing against a side who had been doing well, I guess Forest took their foot off a bit in the 2nd half and didn't want to go for about 8 or 9.


Let's hope Cunha's shoulder isn't too serious with Murillo also out

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Day out to watch my 2nd team today
A 3- 0 win that got them promoted, and a good chance of taking the division title. :)

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

20 years ago vs Barca, Arsenal went to a champions league final.

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Strange times. It’s still mathematically possible that the potential winner of either the Europa Cup (Forest) or the Conference League (Palace) could be relegated while qualifying to compete in Europe next season.

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Its also likely now that all three european finals will have one premier league team in them, so we could do a clean sweep of europe if we win them.

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Mathematically but I think both sides are basically safe.


Spurs are doing better at the moment and West Ham's form isn't bad but Forest are 6 points clear of West Ham and 5 points clear of Spurs with 3 to go. So Forest need to lose all 3 (because of GD) and then Spurs need 2 wins (at least) and West Ham need 2 wins and a draw (at least) for them to both go above anyone else...


That's down to Palace then with Arsenal through and either Villa or Forest making it.

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Indeed, and they are already 3 - 1 up from their first (away) leg, so its seeming likely.

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Tbf a PL side should pretty much always win the Conference League if they take it seriously enough. Mind you Chelsea managed that with a whole different squad basically last time around (and probably a few hotels).

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

It was in Paris. Now we face Paris. Funny how things come back around :naughty:

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Phew ... Safe for another year. :D
Not looking good for West Ham now.

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Leeds safe as well…

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Southampton have been kicked out of the play off final ���� (sorry Boro fan here)

Spied on atleast 3 teams

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football...s/cwy2pnpqjl7o

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Well I can understand Boro fans being happy, but it seems a little extreme to me.

Going to be interesting to sort tickets and transport out in 3 days (and they can appeal as well).

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Oh it will be interesting. If they win that appeal then I bet Hotels will be even more expensive. You have 3 sets of fans looking at booking for one game.

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Chelsea will be happy then

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Leeds United were fined but they were nowhere near playoff positions

https://www.theguardian.com/football...0-derby-spying

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

The rule change came because Leeds did that though

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

At least anyone watching the playoff now won’t have to endure the theatrics and constant diving from certain Southampton players, such as Scienza.

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Oh. I didn't know. :shrug:

22 years. I just remember Wenger grinding out results. The Arsene foundation quite literally. :Yes:

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Congratulations to Arsenal, I thought they would blow it again, but they hung on.

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

I'm waiting for someone to appeal, nothing is what it seems in football lately :D

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Yeah the travel is going to be a pain if going by train due to rail engineering works.

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

If it was a one-off then maybe extreme. But it turns out it was the third time this season!

And rules are very clear.

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

They only admitted to 3 games that they didn't win. What about all the games they did win?

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Well done to Arsenal...

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Pretty meaningless the Premiership whoever wins.
Fans, owners and players that have no links the cities( or should that be brand names), they represent.

Now the Northern Counties East League is far more meaningful, cheaper and entertaining ;)

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Mr Grumpy :rolleyes:

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

And you should be supporting Crawley Town, you'd feel a better person for it :)

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

The red devils? No thanks.

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Anyway, I know they beat us to get there, but I hope Villa win tonight, as they are the English team.

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Emery needs redemption. I agree let's go Villa :woot:

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Well, it’s looking good for them.

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Yep, well done AV, another English win.

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Mr K must follow you as you have been moaning about Arsenal for months despite having their best period since the great Arsene Wenger..;)

---------- Post added at 10:09 ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 ----------

Yep nice to see other teams have deserving success.

---------- Post added at 10:10 ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 ----------

Emery was always a top manager, he was just treated poorly by Arsenal.

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

I'm not a fan of Arteta that's all.

---------- Post added at 10:13 ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 ----------

Yup. :Yes: By all the Artetasexuals :no:

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

I failed to hear this stat during TNT coverage. Amazing stat. One of those finals being the Qatar world cup final.. incredible :clap:

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

So it's official Pep leaves. It's a moment to dominate. I don't think Arsenal will snatch at the opportunity but it's there for the taking.

Carrick sign a contract with Man Utd

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Leaving before it all hits the fan over their financial shenanigans.

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

<snicker>

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Well in the end it didnt matter, as Hull won anyway.

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Let's put an American twist on celebrations

https://www.skysports.com/football/l...#liveblog-body

I thought the premier league brought out the trophy :shrug:

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Congrats to Notts County on getting promoted to League 1, and wiping the smiles off Beckham, Scholes, and Neville’s faces.

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Whatever the merits of the tournament, fair play to Palace for their first European trophy ��. Looked like there was a great atmosphere in the stadium from both sets of fans.

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

It's up to Arsenal now for a clean sweep :shrug:

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

The drop off since winning the league was so bad. Politics in the club amongst players so bad. New signing can't be his fault but again so bad.

Why has it taken Liverpool this long to make a decision, they missed out on Alonso :erm:

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Probably Rooney pushed his nose in causing crap . . he's all over the BBC website again, telling people how to do what he so obviously couldn't :D

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

The biggest club in London. Bunch of glory hunters :LOL: 1.5 and 1 had I been able to go :cry:

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Probably more around a million, but still impressive. Kinda annoying I couldn't go but looked fun.

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

You may well be right in thinking so

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

I can't help but admire Liverpool on their approach to appoint a new manager
Nothing seems rushed or knee jerk. They have patiently waited and got their man. Well done them. It's normally mayhem

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/...677970473?s=20

I hope he does well. An interesting factor is Liverpools new man doesn't handle transfers which is a directors dream. It'll be interesting to see how he gets on. Klopps team wins a premier league. Slots team wins...

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Yes, like that really worked out well when Edu took charge of signings at Forest, and totally ignored what the coach needed to suit the style of play he wanted from the team.

Re: Season 2025/2026
 

Edus catch phrase was "tell me the situation of x,y,z player" he didn't have a clue to begin with and resorted to home comforts. Fraud. Competent at the BBQ grill otherwise useless. The guys a showman, shyster who allegedly pocketed from transfers, like Sanllehi. Joke appointment Ivan, those two disasters.

On the whole I understand what you mean. You'd think Chelsea would befitting Andoni Iraola and Alonso Liverpool :shrug:

Excellent news for Celtic. They were a disaster being clever appointing wise arses. Good for the fan base :woot:
