"The PL has gone full circle and is now at its past. There have been so many ideas systems and people who have made the league arguably the best in the world and inarguably the most commercially viable. To stand out teams are deploying methods that many of us would consider boring. Set-piece coaches are now a premium. Survival is the keyword. And it brings hundreds of millions too"

"Leeds did something this season and it may keep them in the PL. They were very deliberate with the height of players they recruited especially in the defensive and midfield areas. Daniel Farke has an unpleasant record of coming and straight down in the Premier League. They'll win many home games and if they can muster some away draws that'll be good enough for survival. The newly-promoted teams have shown strategies for survival that have been very good to see so far. I hope they sustain them. It's important they don't go straight back to the EFL. We want some jeopardy"

"In the 1998/99 season Arsenal conceded only XX goals but didn't win the Premier League. They conceded the least. They scored only XX goals which was the fourth best in the league that season. They lost the title by a point to Manchester United. The Premier League is now a different ball game and Arsenal should really win this but they can't afford to be excited. It's nothing near done.

"When I watch the El Clsico or games between two very elite teams I always imagine the amount of emotions behind the scenes. The families and youth coached of those players and how much time and energy and effort and love they've put into getting their children to that level. Those games are a congregation of elite talents in two of the greatest football clubs on earth. Surreal People who stood out among peers. Different ones-in-a-thousand sort of talents. Fede carries the burden of generations. Guler can't afford to fail because boys like him don't get to that stage so early. In every move"

"Time. They failed to evolve. That corruption legacy also damaged their standards. Their branding isn't as glossy as their competition. Ownership structure. Their clubs still don't own stadiums. The Premier League has been very deliberate about its growth in the last three decades. Other leagues haven't shown as much tenacity. Clubs don't generate enough money. Stadium revenue drives club growth. They don't make enough. TV and Media too not enough. But I think they're learning now. The picture should be different in another 5-10 years. Having different league winners every season is good for"

"Lol. There's no team structurally better than Arsenal at the moment. And by structure I mean being adequately curated to deal with injuries. Also for what the PL has evolved into Arsenal have built for it. The set pieces and the long throws. Quality-wise you can argue Liverpool and City have better X-factors. But for the marathon the Premier League is Arsenal will have failed if they don't win it with how intentional they were with recruitment. PGMOL will always be PGMOL. Fans will be fans. They still made a bad call against Arsenal last week"

"Everything has context. If the opposition sits in a low block and they create chances off the set pieces from those that's not too bad. And you play a set piece and they head it out its recycled again and eventually scored still from set-piece. Todays was via set-piece. They should stop fouling Arsenal players and let them walk to goal else they'll have dead balls and will score from them. That's very sustainable π"

"These are two different periods. First Division and Premier League. Chelsea never really took off until UEFAs rule changed on international players. And that was in 1995 or thereabout. It was that rule change that spurred Chelsea on. From Ruud Gullit to Gianluca Vialli and everyone else who followed. Pre-90s they were here and there. They got relegated from the old First Division and came back. Spurs weren't great either but they were more regular features in the First Division at the time. Both teams won some cups along it"

"Last season Ipswich Town had a coach whose quality could see them through a Premier League campaign Kieran McKenna. What they failed to do was to be smart with their recruitment. Despite spending over 100m they signed mostly Championship quality players. During the off-season I noticed Sunderlands business and told anyone who cared to listen they are recruiting well. Other than the quantity they also invested in quality. International quality players. Noah Sadiki was the MVP in Belgium Xhaka returned with years of PL experience. Habib Diarra had caught eye with Strasbourg in Ligue X Adingra"
