PREMIER LEAGUE: ROUND 22

Never a red card

Well sorry, was a red card 2 years ago, not a red card this season.

Wolves play tomorrow stu, and Newcastle too short.

oh yes, sorry tomorrow. Still good lay IMO like you say.

Sunderland draw no bet @1.74 looks big how they've performed so far this season.

Castellanos (WH) shown a card for showing an imaginary card to the ref

They are hot on that aspro

I recall when the ref dropped his card, Gazza picked it up and done the same thing. He got booked too. Was funny though.

Spurs 0-1 West Ham

Spurs are disastrously bad. Porro.

Ben Davies injured

Chelsea 1-0 Brentford

Sick of the sight of this manager and his non-stop gum chewing. He has to go if Spurs lose this game.

VAR but goal stands

Sunderland 0-1 Palace

Pen Pool

Hits the bar!!!

Sunderland 1-1 Palace

West Ham score again, but offside

West Ham by far the better team here. They're running rings around this Spurs side.

Dr Tottenham

Big save Vicario

West ham are decent when allowed to play.

Often get overwhelmed by other teams, Spurs
been poor at home this season. Long way to go!

Struggling to keep it at 0-1 to be fair

Liverpool 1-0 Burnley

Bissouma On!

Xavi Alonso was just spotted at Liverpool International Airport. Coincidence?

Sunderland 2-1 Crystal Palace FT

frank bringing on a central defender when they desperately need a goal. How much more time do you want to give this manager, Aspro?

Useless W4nkers 1-2 West Ham FT

Alonso needs to get a cab 3 hours south

Burnley next up for first aid

Leeds, Burnley and Sunderland all promoted and favs to go straight back down.

Aye, seen it trending.
I know being a fan is about suffering but supporting Spurs is next level.

'Dr Tottenham', Ah, I get it now Aspro

Whenever we play a bottom 3 team we should all wear red crosses

Unbelievable Aspro, I feel your pain.

In other news....Glasner's interview after losing away to Sunderland was heartbreaking.
Parish has totally destroyed all his amazing work.

Martinelli off, Trossard on - 0-0 HT

Arsenal awful here

This would be the softest penalty

No pen

I'm going to sue Arsenal for wasting my time

I wouldn't advise that Aspro, the Spurs goalie can't deal with crosses as it is

so true

Not the highest quality title race is it

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Arsenal FT

FT 0-0

Glad I didn't watch any of that shyte. Two horribly negative teams.

Fkn bottled it again.
W@nkers.

Arse didn't even need to win today. They'll have the title wrapped up by March. City are so poor and will continue to drop points.

The EPL has been so fkn poor this year, it's like we're embarrassed to win it.
Our squad is packed & we're still bang average!

I agree that it's an extremely weak Premier League season where the vast majority of the bigger clubs are playing well below their potential. But I guess you've got to take advantage of such seasons whenever possible (like Leicester did ten (f%$k, is that ten years ago already) years ago. But Arsenal won't care about such small details when they finally lift the trophy in May.

The problem is that Arteta would be in the changing room after that point secretly punching the air in celebration, I wouldn't be assuming that Arsenal have it sewn up yet because they've got that panic gene within them, they don't create enough through open play and their most reliable goal scorers are still Merino and Trossard and that's just wrong, but it doesn't look like anyone else can mount any sort of challenge so their frailties won't be exposed.

I think it's a very strong, physical Premier league.

Thats shaken up quite a bit, and turned some advantages
around. Drop off your levels and balls in your net.

You're surely having a laugh. Liverpool, City, Chelsea etc have been mostly awful all season. It's been one of the worst top flight seasons in recent memory.  Man Utd and Spurs are still in the doldrums. Only Villa have really stepped up but they don't have a deep enough squad to really challenge. Arsenal are famously fragile but City and the rest are not putting them under any pressure whatsoever.

Hopefully,you have to laugh,is laughing.

It’s the weakest league ever.everyone is crap,so how bad are wolves.

Man United could sneak this league,and they are shocking.

The EPL has become almost as boring & tedious as F1.
All method, metrics & data & little flair.

It s bet ball now nothing to do with football hth

1/5 Arsenal. They are 7 points infront with a superior 2-goal difference. I've not looked at their remaining fixtures however, I think there could be plenty of reward for layers. Man City is next best at 5/1.

The more you see that Dalot tackle,the more you
think how'd he stay on the pitch.

I'd think it's because he won the ball.

The reddest red card you'll ever see.

YHTL watches the Toon and their home games have plenty of entertainment and goals. Unfortunately the majority of other venues regularly serve up turgid stuff and this really is a poor season with many sides certainly being well matched, but only due to their averageness. The EPL is vastly overhyped, mainly due to the self interest in doing so to keep the cash coming in. Plenty of players who treat the ball like a hot potato and yet are unfathomably lauded by the pundits and media.

Just backed Villa outright at 18/1 to win the league and 9/2 top 2...
Hoping for a win today, obviously, and can see Arsenal not liking the pressure if the gap is down to 1 or 2 points by March
A token bet because i just think it's too big

Newcastle around 1.81 pre match was over short at a sure to be battling Wolves.
Newcastle backers think they are Liverpool or Villa, but look at the table for their away form, no where near.
But not complaining if backers want the prices.

The Newcastle team is twice the value of Wolves so they should expect an easy win

A sporting bet Reg, Villa have a reasonable run of fixtures coming up , already played the gunners twice and they don't play City or Liverpool until the last two games.

The toffees are in a stale run of form, hardly surprising given the absences for one reason or another. They also have a poor recent record at Villa Park so the home team are justifiably short in the betting for today.
'
The Wolves/Newcastle game that's just finished really underlines  the above points about the poor fare often on offer in the EPL, a right yawn.

Never really in doubt stu.

I've no idea why Villa are so big tbf.
If Leicester went all the way, then Villa certainly can.

Another 0-0 borefest. I only watched the last two minutes luckily. Hopefully Villa can entertain us.

Wolves 0-0 Newcastle was the 17th goalless draw of this Premier League season (218th match), which is already more than in the 2024-25 campaign overall (16 in 380 matches).

Opta.

Maybe no points for a 0-0

13/9/25 Everton 0 villa 0

This is shyte. I've already hit the mute button.

Feck me guys! A Goal!!!! 0-1

Shocking how slow the players are moving money for nothing

The game's gone eh, abba.

a goal 0-1

martinez caught in the middle of the crime scene a joke of a goalkeeper on a weekly basis

Title challengers?  You're 'avin' a laugh.

Mate, this is a League nobody wants to win.
We're pants but yet it looks like we're gonna extend our lead.

None of the bottom 5 lost this weekend.

Wolves (Newcastle h) , Burnley (Liverpool a) , West ham (Tottenham a) , Leeds(Fulham h) and forest(arsenal a)

Top 3 couldn't score a goal between 'em.

When the bookies want their bags full they get them full hth

Punting wise it has a very tough season for most of us, well definitely me anyway.

I stumbled upon a winning system. Just lay Spurs at home for every single game.
