Arsenal Pull Away, Tottenham Hotspur Relegation Fears, & FA Cup Fifth Round: Big Weekend Preview 03/06/26
Tottenham Hotspur relegation fears
It is possible that Spurs get relegated, which is a ridiculous sentence. If Spurs were to go down in the year that Arsenal won the title, that would be so bleak for Spurs fans that I think the rest of football probably needs to get round them.
Liverpool FC form
Liverpool are losing games so limply. They're such a flaccid football team. If they keep on playing like this until the end of the season and he keeps his job, he will start the season with the vast majority of the fan base against him.
Arsenal's tactical approach
The amount of time the ball is out of play is a genuine and legitimate issue. People are paying for this. Fans are paying for tickets. We're all paying for TV packages. You're actively taking money out of our pockets.
Manager changes
I think there is a growing sense that maybe Newcastle and Eddie Howe have reached the end of their road and there might be a bit of a parting of the ways in the summer.
Manchester City title race
Manchester City are what we rationally thought they are. They're like a vulnerable squad in transition. They've not been especially consistent, they've not been especially convincing.
Manchester City schedule
This run of games is really the crucible of destiny for Manchester City. They've got five massive games in four competitions before the international break.
Premier League quality
The argument that the Premier League is weaker than it's ever been makes absolutely no sense to me. If anything, the quality is too high. Everyone is just a little bit too good at defending.
Premier League tactical trends
What we've reached effectively is a really high quality stalemate. And what that means in practice is that some games are a bit of a toss of the coin.
Arsenal coaching staff
The Arsenal set-piece coach, Nicholas Jova, gets paid a bonus for every single Arsenal set-piece goal.
FA Cup
I would love to see Leeds win the FA Cup this season. I think that would be absolutely magnificent, just as it was when Palace won it last season or Newcastle won the Carabao.
