England really does have a lack of top quality strikers right now. I mean, Kane is definitely world class (much as I hate to admit that). But Watkins is so hit or miss. He’s world class one game and then missing open goals from the middle of the 6 yard box the next.
TBH I don’t know how Toney is these days. I haven’t been tracking him. But I get the feeling i this whole situation doesn’t bode well for England in front of goal. If Kane gets injured Tuchel might be left with a headache. But I hear Rashford did well this season. And there are some very good options on the wings. So maybe it’s not as bad as it looks.

Gunners@lemmy.world•[The Guardian] The 10 numbers that sum up how Arsenal won the Premier LeagueEnglish
1·14 hours agoWell, the tiny tots do feel compelled to copy us. And it happens so often it’s wild. Remember how a few seasons after we brought in Wenger and he started winning trophies they tried to copy us with that professor-looking Swiss coach? He was like the pound shop Wenger. But they didn’t notice how sad it all looked.
So I guess it stands to rain that they saw our recent success with set pieces and copied that. I’m just surprised they were so successful with it, considering how poor they are at most things.

Gunners@lemmy.world•[The Guardian] The 10 numbers that sum up how Arsenal won the Premier LeagueEnglish
6·21 hours agoOn the set piece goals:
They have been most dangerous from corners, scoring 18 goals from them in 2025-26, which is a new Premier League record. It says a lot about the direction of the Premier League that the record – overtaking the 16 scored by Oldham Athletic in 1992-93 – has been broken twice this season. First by Arsenal, who have the outright record, and then by Tottenham, who have scored 17 goals from corners this season.
So I don’t want to hear any more whining from spuds fans about how we score too many ‘boring’ corner goals. They were just a step behind us on that front. The difference is we were good in most other areas as well, while they were shit.
What?! Really?!
He might actually be doing them a favour. This way he can’t get himself sent off for a ridiculously wreckless tackle and leave then down to 10 men for half the match.
I know everyone rates him as a very good defender. But the few times I’ve seen him (usually in the NLD) he’s looked very underwhelming.
Autocorrect strikes again!
People online (not in here, mind you) saying the punishment is too harsh.
Umm no. a) they admitted to the infraction, b) they actually admitted to two other similar infractions done earlier in the season, c) the rules on spying were explicitly clarified a few years ago after Leeds got away with similar.
Southampton knew EXACTLY what they were doing! And they didn’t even do it well or discreetly! They acted like they were above the law, and they got punished accordingly.
They need to set an example for cheating clubs. Next up they should
hardlyharshly punish Man C115y.

I’m glad the players and staff did a lap of honour after the Burnley match. I’m sure the celebration police were whining about that (fuck them!). But in hindsight it was a great way to let the players and fans who were present celebrate what was, from our perspective, the event that won us the title.

Gunners@lemmy.world•[PL] Dowman makes history as YOUNGEST player to win Premier LeagueEnglish
1·3 days agoI get the feeling he’s going to be better through the middle, and that’s ultimate where he’ll end up. Kind of in an Odegaard/Eze role. Similar with Nwaneri (wherever he ends up).
They are all either hiding or have piped down. I think the ones who piped down (like Kee Thomas) had already resigned themselves to us winning the title within the last few days.
On a related note, the Liverpool fans who despise us baffle me. Most of them seem happy that we won it (at least over either of the Manchester clubs). And I can see why. Liverpool and us address two of the last few ‘classy’ heritage clubs left. But a few of their fans are just so filled with bile towards us.
But it’s okay, I’ve been enjoying their bitterness! 😂

6·3 days agoMany of us aren’t surprised at all. This outcome was obvious to us from a mile away.
We need to move heaven and earth to make sure MLS stays. Top-notch defensive midfielders are like gold dust. And not only does that lad have a ton of potential, but he’s started showing that it’s more than just potential with some amazing performances lately.
I know he lacks experience, but I think Setford should be overtaking Kepa in the pecking order. I could see why we’d want a more experienced backup. But at the same time, considering how few games he’s likely to get, we could save some money and show our intent to promote from within by just moving him into Kepa’s slot.
I hope the women get their credit too. Might not have won anything this season, but they still did a great job and played a lot of amazing football.

3·3 days agoQuality team, quality club. God knows they were a pain for us to play against. But they also took significant points off several other big clubs. Even after losing Semenyo to Man C115y. They clearly have a fire in their bellies. And the talent in their squad and coaching staff.
Well done on getting into Europe, Bournemouth. Well deserved. Good luck there next season.

For a political movement that vilifies ‘cancel culture’ and mocks anyone who gets offended as ‘snowflakes’ they sure have done a lot of cancelling people who say things that hurt their fee-fees.
Every accusation is an admission.
