Exactly. Without Luke Shaw the team will lack balance and width too. He was England’s best player, along with Sterling at the last European Championship.

I’d at least like to see a bit of experimentation with that. England should put Bellingham alongside Rice in a friendly, and play Foden at 10.

Know what you mean. Fury took some serious punishment in that round.

Just watched round 9 again. Usyk absolutely nailed Fury with a right left combination. How Fury stayed up is incredible.

I had it a draw but bloody hell well done Usyk. A worthy champion and person.

Hope so.

In fairness Southampton and Leeds, like Leicester both have lots of Premier League level players. If it wasn’t for Ipswich’s crazy season all three relegate teams would have been promoted again. I suspect Burnley will be close to unstoppable again next season, but Sandwich United and Luton...

Just because Arsenal or Man United for that matter didn’t finish second does not mean they were not the main rivals. The Managers hated each other, the players mainly hated each other, the games against each other were at times nasty. They were without doubt main rivals and the two best teams...

Didn’t say Man City and Liverpool wasn’t much of a rivalry. Just Man United and Arsenal much more intense. 7 year period. Man United 4 - 3 Arsenal. 7 year period. Man City 6 - 1 Liverpool.

So Arsenal 3 titles and Man United 4 in that period?

Is 03/04 the Arsenal invincible season?

Thoroughly decent people. As it happens, the Mackems I know are also decent! 😀

Football is not a mathematical equation. The fact is in a 5 year period Man United won 1 more title than Arsenal. They were fierce rivals. It got very heated between them. Taking a 5 year period now. Man City have won 3 more titles than Liverpool. Their rivalry is much less intense. Wenger...

Know loads of Geordies. All good people.

It was far more likely as it actually happened. 2 titles compared to 3. Man City titles 6. Liverpool 1.
