Back from International break with yet another weekly recap! You know I used to not care much for these international breaks, but now, I'm really starting to love them. Gives us all time to reflect on the season to date, and look forward to the epic return of league play. And boy was gameweek 7 one for the books with major shake ups and title implications.
But before we jump in to the recap, everyone please congratulate our very own former commissioner Niall on his wedding this weekend! Hats off to the lad, worth more than any Man U title! Cheers to Niall and Rachel!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉💍🤵🤵🏻♀️💍
Bournemouth (3) - Fulham (1)
Another day, another Semenyo masterclass. A brace for our main man Antoine, as well as an assist on a Kluivert goal was too much for the lowly Fulham despite a Sessignon goal to open the scoring. If you don't have Semenyo by now, it may be over for ya!
You wouldn't know it from the Tottenham fans complete absence in the chat, but Tottenham are sneakily building a formidable case to compete for the league this year and retain their spot in Champions league football. Despite some key injuries, they continue to produce results and find themselves 3rd in the table. Goals from Tels and that man himself Kudus proved decisive over Leeds despite feeble attempts from Okafor and co.
Arsenal (2) - West Ham (0)
Look out partner, there's a new Sheriff in Town!🤠 Arsenal, continuing their run of form have now taken the top spot in the table thanks to a key W over the West Ham and a shocking Liverpool L (more on this later). Goals from Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka (P) settled this one.
You know what they say, you can't bottle the league without ever being in first!! 🫙 I expect this top spot to be short lived after Atleti beats the shit out of them at the Emirates and erodes all their confidence next week. Either way, some free frosties incoming soon courtesy of Scott or me! 🍦
Man U (2) - Sunderland (0)
Pictured above, an image that brings tears of joy to the Man U faithful. It's crazy what having a goalie who can actually catch a cross can do to morale, and Man U really took it to a seemingly strong Sunderland team. Goals from...checks notes...starter Mason Mount and even our dear 007 Allegation Beater Sesko setting this one for the Red Devils. Can they build on this momentum, or are they doomed to break their W streak yet again? One thing's for sure, Man U have cracked the Top 10!🔥
Chelsea (2) - Liverpool (1) 🤣🤣🤣
What can I say, did I call it or did I call it? Liverpool is a half-ass squad built to sell jerseys and is currently in freefall. You can put all the money in the world into a team, but if you don't put the effort in, you're going to continue losing games. The vibes are off, and the more Ls, the worse it will get for Ego FC. Hats off to Chelsea for taking it to Liverpool early, with an absolute worldie from Caicedo. Liverpool did well to fight back to tie it thanks to Gakpo. But the true starboy (none of this 26 year old starboy bullshit) - Estêvão shined brightest✨, and delivered an absolute dagger to Liverpool, stealing the W and bringing restorative karma back to the league after Pool's early run of luck.
Even without Palmer, Chelsea look like they're beginning to figure some things out to challenge a top 4 placement. Hold this L, Pool boys.
Aston Villa (2) - Burnley (1)
After a terrible run of form, Villa are slowly crawling back to relevance. A brace from Donyell Malen proved too much to overcome for Ugochukuwu and JJ Watt's finest.
Everton (2) - Crystal Palace (1)
Massive game for Everton, putting a stop to Palace's run of 19 games unbeaten. While we didn't get the clean sheet we were looking for, boy was it nice to see Grealish bag the game winner in the 93rd. Goals from Ndiaye and Munoz as well left us with a 2-1 result, and key win for the Toffees.
Newcastle (2) - Nottingham Forest (0)
All hope abandon, ye who still thinks Chris Wood is viable. Decisive win for the Lads as a goal from Bruno and an absolutely class PK from the German Giant Woltemade settled the score at 2-0. I gotta say, Woltemade is bringing some new dynamics to Newcastle that may be enough to overcome the overrated void left but Isak. All that being said...Newcastle is still not top 10 and worse than Man U lmaooooo!🤭🤭🤭
Wolves (1) - Brighton (1)
An own goal from Verbuggen and an equalizer from Jan Paul van Hencke settled this mid-off 1-1. The world keeps turning.
Man City (1) - Brentford (0)
Halaand being Haaland, an early opening goal in the 9th min left us captainers wanting more, but alas. The man simply cannot be stopped!! 💪
Top 3 Boneheaded Plays 🍖🧠
HM: David Oliver, don't act like we don't see you down in 41st place lmaoooooo.
3. Anyone who doesn't have Semenyo on their teams, what are y'all doing????
2. The Salah Truthers, how many blanks does it take to give up on the Washed System King?
1. Roldan, who has entered bottom 2 and captained Evanilson, doesn't have Haaland or Semenyo. My man might be buying a soccer jersey and a football jersey this year. The only person below Roldan is Jake Jennings, who joined the league in week 2 lmao. That being said, happy belated b-day Roldan we <3 u!
alexanderBEEFsak - 89 pts
Narrowly taking out Top Dawg spot by 1 point we have non other than our league leader Beef! Some absolute galaxy double digit plays by the lad with Gabriel, Kudus, Bruno G, Grealish, and Haaland bagged him the week's highest honor.
Gotta hand it to Beef, he's put together quite the strong start to the season, and has dethroned Gavin by just one point. A lot of games left to be played, but Beef seems poised to make a serious run for the title this year. Take a bow son!
Bubble Trouble - 31 Pts (Wooooomp Wooooooooooomp!) 🎻
Alea nooooooooo! Say it ain't so! A team inexplicably sporting the likes of Marc Guiu as a starter, as well as Mr. Double OG Esteve from last week takes our bottom dawg spot this week. Blanks from Joao Pedro, Reijnders, Blanko Blanknandes, the System King, and Sanchez left Alea in deep trouble indeed as she plummeted to 39th. Hoping for a big bounce back for Bubble Trouble, but they may need some help from the ol Wildcard to turn this season around.
Aaaaand that's it, not only do we have league games returning, but we, well most of us at least, also have the return of European soccer as well! I can't wait to see how things shake out, until the next one!!! ☝️
