How the Premier League must've felt delivering that verdict! A shocking state of affairs for English football. Manchester City systematically cheated their way to success, for more than a decade. Throw the book at them! #mcfc #mancity #manchestercity #premierleague

Zion Suzuki hasn't just slotted in at Aston Villa - he's changed the way they play for the better. The Japanese keeper's distribution and shot stopping have made a huge impression so far. Better for Villa then Emi Martinez? 🤔 #zionsuzuki #astonvilla #avfc #suzuki #premierleague

All change at Crystal Palace this season. Too much? 🤔 With big departures and an arguably weaker squad, juggling European football might be too much for a Palace side who hit the highest highs last season. #cpfc #crystalpalace #premierleague #footballpodcast

Enzo Maresca has huge shoes to fill at Manchester City. But is he a good enough coach to replace and continue the good work of Pep Guardiola? Or is he destined to be the City equivalent of David Moyes post-Ferguson? #mancity #mcfc #enzomaresca #premierleague #epl

We've made our predictions, and it's a unanimous vote for Arsenal to retain the Premier League for the 26/27 season! It's an already great squad, with added quality over the summer, rivals in transition, and new-found taste for winning. #arsenal #premierleague #afc #arsenalfc #epl

I'd be stunned if this happened. I mean, what price for Rodri right now? Best player at the World Cup, former (and maybe multiple?) Ballon d'Or winner. Back to his best. City would be crazy to sell. www.nytimes.com/athletic/734... #mancity #mcfc #rodri #premierleague #realmadrid

Fans will ALWAYS have a say on an England squad, every tournament. Yes, this squad seems mental to the average fan. But Thomas Tuchel has been hired to find the exact blend of characters to win. Let's trust that, and get behind him and the lads. #england #tuchel

A fifth Europa League trophy for Unai Emery. A stellar record in top level club management. In Aston Villa, he's with a club that wants to level up with him. Where does Emery rank among modern coaches? Is a PL or CL trophy the yardstick? #astonvilla #avfc #emery

Bruno Fernandes is a modern day United legend. In an era where they've been shit, that is incredibly impressive. And potentially breaking the Premier League assist record, with half a season out of position? Bruno deserves all the plaudits. #mufc youtu.be/X1qxVo1nHcA
