Premier League 2019-2020

Pochettino has admitted that first half of yesterday's match with Aston Villa was 'his fault'

Def a straight talking, open, honest manager and given how well AI played, they could well surprise a few people this season

Week two over and More VAR discussions I guess

The league is definitely got better for the more smaller teams the likes of Aston Villa and Newcastle would of been a shoe in to stay in the league now the more smaller teams like Brighton,Bournemouth,Crystal Palace and Norwich can all stay in the league.

Going into the International Break i didn't expect the table to take shape the way it has it makes it interesting.

What a huge weekend ahead just before the international break -
Norwich v Watford - two teams struggling who really need a win now.
Southampton v Everton - see above.
Leicester v Arsenal - win for home team and possible you could include them in the title race/top 4. Arsenal lose and I could see the manager sacked.
Wolves v Aston Vill - Midlands derby.
Liverpool v Man City - City lose and they could probs only lose another game from now until the end of the season to have any chance of the title.
Which Man Utd will turn up against Brighton?
Horrible game for Tottenham against Sheffield United.

I think the City V Liverpool game is probably the biggest of the lot I don't expect Guardiola to get sack but I would not be surprised if at the end of the season he decides enough is enough. I'd love Klopp to achieve the double this season, or even the treble by retaining the CL trophy. The Club World Cup is to me meaningless, and although I'd love Liverpool to win it, I don't think it has any real prestige to it. The CWC IMO just causes a fixture pile up. I think Klopp's CV would be well impressive if it had double/treble manager on it, To me I often wonder how well suited Klopp would be to the England team, I think his style of play would be wonderful to see at international level and he has great man management skills. I'm surprised he's never taken the German national team job.

And it will be the end for Poch if they get a hammering at Sheffield United, I think Sheffield Utd have shown that they are not fazed by the level of competition in the PL and they are prepared to have a go at teams above them.

THE Court of Arbitration has reportedly thrown out the FFP appeal by Manchester City....

INTERESTING.......

Tottenham have sacked Pochettino

I do feel bad for him but I do think and feel hat there was an element towards the end of last season and the start of this season, that he had lost dressing room. but I do think the new manager, whoever he may be will have to restore some discipline in the dressing room very quickly if Tottenham are to recover something from this season. Pochettino is a really talented manager with a bright vision on how he like likes thr game to be played, and it would be a shame, if the game lost a young manger's vision like his.

I think Poch will be fine and will be back in a big job soon, his stock won't have decreased that much despite a very poor 2019 from Spurs (Champions League runners up aside)
