Happy Thursday Lads! Absolutely massive Friday incoming where the fate of the Champions League round of 16 is settled. Tottenham and Liverpool fans are probably unable to sleep knowing they have a 50% of facing an Atleti team that's finally starting to click at just the right time. Just need Julian Alvarez to assume his final form and its wraps. From the Prem, congrats to Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham, Newcastle, Arsenal and Man City for making it to the round of 16! That's a whooooole lotta EPL teams that are gonna fumble the ship to Atleti.
But I know all this Champions League talk is making the Man U boys feel a little left out, I'm sorry guys, so without further ado...let's jump right into it! This is..THE GW27 RECAP!!!
That may just about do it for Villa, who fall 4 games back on Arsenal. They'll have to be just about flawless from here on out. But without any cups to worry about, it's full focus ahead on the league while other teams prepare for their grueling final pushes. And let's talk about this absolute ripper from the guy Szoboszlai wishes he was, Mr. Stach:
Villa go on to salvage a point courtesy of none other than Tammy Abraham.
Brighton (2) - Brentford (0)
The 🐝s seem to only turn up when it's time to play top 10 teams. Tough L for Brentford who got two pieced by Gomez and Welbeck. Better days ahead for Bees who still hope to lock in a European spot.
Chelsea 🟥 (1) - Burnley (1)
OOooooooooof, what an awful point to give up in a neck and neck race for top 4 where even the slightest of mistakes can land you out of the Champions league (a familiar experience for Champions of multiple tiers of Europe, Chelsea). A familiar story line, where what looked like a sure W turned into an absolute meltdown. Joao Pedro bagged an easy one in the 4th min, looked like it would be a 7-0 destruction. But credit to Burnley, they dug in, held it down, and thanks to an inevitable red card Fofana and a little stoppage time magic secured the draw and a vital point in tight relegation fight. Much soul searching to do for Chelsea, who just can't keep composed in key moments😂😂😂
Streets are calling Chelsea Red Card Merchants.
West Ham (0) - Bournemouth (0)
West Ham inching closer and closer to safety while Forest and Tottenham continue to drop. There's hope for Alea FC after all!
Manchester City (2) - Newcastle (1)
Newcastle doing the lord's work and rolling over and giving all 3 points to Man City to keep this title race tense. Both teams gave it a full go, not scared to actually play the beautiful game. O'Reilly ripped an emphatic brace on the Toon's heads (nice assist from Mr. Erling as well), Lewis Hall may be back to FPL relevance, but I gotta say Newcastle did not seem too upset after losing this one. And looks to me like AG might be auditioning for bigger and better teams, just sayin! 🤷
As we look to the CL Draw, are we due for another Barca clappening to Newcastle, or will things get interesting with an intra-PL showdown. Time will tell!
See Arsenal, how hard was that??😂😂😂 Wolves have already given up on the year, even Guessand is scoring on them! I guess Arsenal just has to prepare for every team going 200% to try and stop them lmao. Wolve aren't so scawy guys look how cute this wittle guy is!
Liverpool (1) - Forest (0)
For a second there I thought Liverpool were still Assmaxxing, but Mac Allister steals it in the dying breathes for Liverpool to take revenge for earlier in the year. While they're relieved to get the points, I know they are shaking in their boots at the possibility of facing Him next CL round😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈:
Fulham (3) - Sunderland (1)
Sunderland continue to lose steam after a red hot start to the season. Raul Jimenez, welcome back to the ol FPL line up after a nice brace. Iwobi and Le Fee making the score sheet in a 3-1 W for Fulham
Tottenham (1) - Arsenal (4)
The Pros: It brought Salih out of chat hiatus for a brief, fleeting moment 🙏
The Cons: Tottenham got absolutely desecrated by Arsenal who brought out their floppiest flops to get a result that didn't quite tell the whole story. Arsenal fans again cry victim, playing dumb to why the entire world hate's their style of play. To sum it all up, let's take a look at this beautiful dive from Mr. Gabriel. Yes this play changed what could have been 2-2 game to 2-1. Two braces from Mr. Womp and The Man Who Owns Tottenham, Mr. Eze, and that just about settles it. Tottenham continue their plummet to the unthinkable, Arsenal live another week at the top.
There seems to be only one man who can truly pocket Gabriel in the league, none other than Daddy Slabhead himself 🗿
I will say though, Tottenham's 26/27 jerseys are looking pretty spiffy!!
Ok last one last one, I'm sorry y'all (it's just banter!)
Man United (1) - Everton (0)
Capping us off in style is the red hot Red Devils courtesy of Mr. Sesko! Man U create some much needed separation from Chelsea and stay in front of Pool by 3 points. Their focuses will yet again remain on the only thing they have to focus on this season, an epic improbable title 🏆
Galaxy Brain Plays of the Week 🌌🧠
-
Late season Sal is on an absolute heater!! Big brain O'Reilly play to bag 17pts against Newcastle, nicely done! Sorry if I missed anyone else who played him its hard to look at all these rosters but good job if you did!
-
Eze and Virg players, nicely done. Virg kinda going off lately!
-
Ok this was a good week for the Gyokeres players, shoulda TC'ed him this week Maclane!
-
Verbuggen starters (sadly not me as he was on my bench:()
-
Harry Wilson starters (also on my bench, bonehead Lewis at it again, but certainly not the biggest Bonehead of the week!)
Matt D in the house with an absolutely MONSTER week to, like Tottenham, keep things interesting in the epic race to the bottom of the league. Huge games from Virg, Mbuemo, Wilson, Haaland, and what separated him from the bunch, a rogue Gyokeres captain landing him 76 pts. Bravo, good sir, bravo! Welcome back to top 40 in the league!
Y U So Obessed FC - 33 pts
Former Cummish! Say it ain't so! Real homie move by Niall to get 2 points lower than me and seal in a nice bottom dawg while he fights to keep top 8 in the league. Just was a classic case of the team being ass this week, take a look for yourselves! Behold! Stinky Stinky Stinky Niall! 👃💩
27 down, 11 to go..THAT'S CRAZY!!!!!🤪 Can't wait to see how it all unfolds. MHGOTW and Locks to follow, HAGF Budies! <3 biiiig CL draw incoming 😈
