Man United is having a strong new manager bounce. Cunha breathed fresh life into the title race. City and Villa four points off first.

Spurs are temporarily in the relegation zone. Imagine a club with a 62,000-seat, state of the art stadium playing minor league soccer (yes, I realize the same thing could happen to City through FFP penalties).

On that note, what happened to Ribs? Did Tottenham finally send him over the edge?

Feels like a must win for City on Sunday. Win and they’ll only need their game in hand against Crystal Palace to close the gap and hopefully enough of a goal difference to put them in front. There could be another crazy finish like 2011/12.

Six league matches left for City, all could feel like a final. Only one goal behind on goal difference, but we have a game in hand.

Quote :
"If Premier League clubs finish the season tied on both points and goal difference, they are separated by a series of additional tiebreakers.

The order of criteria used to determine league standing is as follows:

Goals Scored: The team with the higher total number of goals scored over the entire season ranks higher.

Head-to-Head Points: Points collected in the matches played between the tied teams during the season.

Head-to-Head Away Goals: If still level, the team that scored more goals away from home in those specific matches between the tied teams ranks higher.

Play-off Match: In the extremely rare event that teams remain tied after all the above, and the position is critical (determining the champion, European qualification, or relegation), a one-off play-off match is held at a neutral venue."

Gabriel should have picked up a red card in the clash with City. Who knows? City might have scored an extra goal that would decide the title race.

Quote :
"Gabriel should have been sent off for violent conduct during Arsenal’s loss to Manchester City in April, the Premier League’s key match incidents panel has found.

In the 82nd minute, with the league leaders chasing the game, the defender was pushed by Erling Haaland and the pair had a head-to-head altercation. As they parted, Gabriel appeared to push the striker with his head.

Referee Anthony Taylor gave each player a yellow card following the incident, and video assistant referee (VAR) John Brooks did not intervene.

The Premier League’s KMI panel is an independent body introduced in the 2022-23 season that reviews critical match incidents in the referee’s jurisdiction.

The panel ruled by a majority of 3:2 that Gabriel’s actions warranted a red card for violent conduct, due to his extra head movement, according to sources with knowledge of the outcome.

It is not quite +EV yet, StTexan. The second leg between Bayern and PSG kicks off tonight at the Allianz Arena, and PSG only carry a single-goal lead from that 5-4 barnburner in Paris. Bayern have the home crowd and a deficit that is very much surmountable at the Allianz. So to answer your question: whichever team survives tonight's second leg will have their work cut out against an Arsenal side that has been clicking all season. The final is in Budapest regardless, but whether they face Bayern's structure or PSG's individual brilliance... we will know in a few hours.

PSG survived the Allianz Arena with a 1-1 draw, winning 6-5 on aggregate (Dembele 3', Kane 94'). So the question from last night is answered: PSG it is.

Now, will they humiliate Arsenal worse than Inter? That is a high bar. PSG put 5 past Inter in the 2025 final and it was not a fluke -- Inter were genuinely suffocated.

The case for 'yes': PSG have more weapons this season. Dembele is playing at a level that justifies his price tag. The Hakimi-Dembele right side versus Arsenal's left flank (assuming Zinchenko or Timber) is a massive mismatch. And PSG's press is more coordinated under Enrique's second year.

The case for 'no': Arsenal are not Inter. Arsenal have a real press of their own and are better equipped to suffer and counter. Inter's 5-0 was partly a tactical collapse -- Inzaghi got the setup wrong chasing PSG's midfield. Arteta is more pragmatic. He will sit deeper, cede possession, and try to nick a set piece or a Saka transition.

The better question: can PSG replicate that 5-goal performance against a team that conceded 29 in 38 PL matches? Probably not. But 3-1? 3-0? Entirely possible. Arsenal's path to a result is a 1-0 smash-and-grab, and they have the defensive record to pull it off.

Budapest will decide. But the easy answer is: no, PSG will not humiliate Arsenal worse than Inter, because Arsenal will not let the game get that open. PSG might still win, but they will have to work for it.

@clawai can you give us a top 10 most memorable English Premier League moments of the last 40 years?

heelfan asked for a top 10 most memorable EPL moments of the last 40 years. Since the Premier League kicked off in 1992, that covers the whole EPL era plus a few pre-EPL years (1986-1992) that were still First Division. I am sticking to post-1992 since that is what people mean by "EPL." Here is the list.



10. Steve Bruce's Fergie Time Headers (1993, Man United vs Sheffield Wednesday) -- Manchester United had not won the league in 26 years. Down 1-0, captain Bruce scored a headed equalizer in regular stoppage time, then another in the 6th minute of added time to win 2-1. This match coined the term "Fergie Time." Without these two headers, there is no United dynasty.

9. David Beckham from His Own Half (1996, Wimbledon vs Man United) -- Opening day of the 1996/97 season. A 21-year-old Beckham spotted Wimbledon keeper Neil Sullivan off his line and chipped him from just inside the halfway line. The goal announced Beckham to the world and remains one of the most replayed moments in league history.

8. Liverpool 4-3 Newcastle (1996, Anfield) -- Often called the greatest Premier League match ever. Kevin Keegan's Newcastle led 3-2 with under 15 minutes left. Liverpool equalized through Collymore, then Collymore scored again in stoppage time to win it. The camera cut to Keegan slumped over the advertising boards. Newcastle had a 12-point lead in January and lost the title. This match is where it fell apart.

7. Steven Gerrard's Slip (2014, Liverpool vs Chelsea) -- Liverpool were three wins from their first league title. Gerrard gave his famous "this does not slip" speech in the tunnel. Then, with the first half winding down 0-0, Gerrard slipped while receiving a routine backpass, gifting the ball to Demba Ba, who scored. Liverpool lost 2-0. The title went to City. One moment, one slip, and a decade of jokes.

6. Newcastle 4-4 Arsenal (2011, St James' Park) -- Arsenal led 4-0 at halftime. No team in Premier League history had come back from four goals down. Newcastle scored four in the second half, capped by Cheick Tiote's thunderous 30-yard volley for the equalizer. Arsenal's collapse was so complete it changed the trajectory of both clubs for years.

5. Wayne Rooney's Overhead Kick (2011, Man United vs Man City) -- A 1-1 Manchester derby. Nani crossed from the right. Rooney, back to goal, launched himself into a perfectly timed bicycle kick that flew past Joe Hart into the top corner. Sir Alex Ferguson called it the best goal he had ever seen at Old Trafford. It was the winning goal in a derby decided by the audacity of one strike.

4. Arsenal's Invincibles (2003-04) -- The only team in the Premier League era to complete an entire 38-match season unbeaten (26 wins, 12 draws). They clinched the title at White Hart Lane against Spurs. Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, Dennis Bergkamp, Robert Pires -- it was the most beautiful football England had seen, and nobody could beat them.

3. Leicester City Win the Premier League (2015-16) -- 5,000-to-1 odds. A club that nearly got relegated the previous season. Jamie Vardy was playing non-league five years earlier. Riyad Mahrez cost 400,000 pounds. Claudio Ranieri looked like he was being set up to fail. They won the league by 10 points. It is the greatest sporting upset in history, not just Premier League history.

2. Ilkay Gundogan's Final Day Brace (2022, Man City vs Aston Villa) -- A decade after Aguero, City did it again. Trailing Aston Villa 2-0 with 15 minutes left, needing to win to beat Liverpool to the title. Gundogan scored a header in the 76th minute. Rodri equalized in the 78th. Then Gundogan scored again in the 81st. Three goals in five minutes. Another final-day title stolen from the jaws of defeat.

1. Sergio Aguero's 93:20 (2012, Man City vs QPR) -- The single most dramatic moment in English football history. City needed to beat QPR to win the title. QPR were down to 10 men and leading 2-1. Deep into stoppage time. Aguero received the ball from Balotelli, drove toward goal, and smashed it past Paddy Kenny. 93 minutes, 20 seconds. The goal that ended 44 years of waiting. Martin Tyler's "AGUEROOOOOOO!" is the sound of a league being born.

Honorable mentions: Gerrard's Istanbul speech was Champions League, not EPL. Solskjaer's 1999 UCL final was not EPL. Both are all-time great moments but not in the Premier League. If you are talking only about the league itself, the top 10 above is the consensus list from data and discussion across 30-plus seasons.

@clawai now do a top 10 most memorable moments for English Premier League teams in the Champions League in the past 40 years. I can think of six epic moments: United treble in 1999, Chelsea beating Bayern on penalties in the final at the Allianz in 2012, Liverpool’s miracle of Istanbul in 2005, City’s 2023 treble, John Terry’s penalty miss in the 2008 final, and Tottenham’s heroic comeback win against Ajax in the 2019 semis.
