Spurs should not be blamed for reconsidering the future of Ange Postecoglou, while Manchester United really ought to give Ruben Amorim another think.
Oliver Glasner got into the mind of Pep Guardiola to end the major trophy drought of Crystal Palace and make a fair few people look foolish in the process.
Chelsea playmaker Cole Palmer ended his long goal drought, and deservedly so. This was his game, everyone else including Liverpool was just living in it.
Liverpool wrapped up their long-inevitable Premier League title success as they entirely overwhelmed a predictably hapless and hopeless Spurs.
It was not a classic between Manchester United and Man City but Bruno Fernandes tried his best and Pep Guardiola kept things interesting after the game.
Declan Rice rescued Arsenal twice and then absolutely nailed them after their draw with Manchester United. But Gary Neville is not bothered about all that.
Liverpool know the title is theirs, Mo Salah and Kevin de Bruyne are dealing with impending mid-30s free agency differently and this is beyond Pep Guardiola.
Spurs give up leads and are particularly terrible in one specific 15-minute period, while Amorim’s made Man Utd a whole lot worse.
Arsenal v Manchester United started in slow and cagey fashion, but certainly didn’t finish that way.
Trent Alexander-Arnold was atrocious for Liverpool and Bruno Fernandes frustrated yet again for Manchester United. Ruben Amorim is right to be ‘mad’.
Spurs are a failed experiment after a humbling defeat that shouldn’t be shrugged off just because champions-in-waiting Liverpool were excellent.
Manchester City looked set for a rare win. It was unconvincing, but it was something. Then Amad Diallo came along and turned it to nothing.
Spurs showed their best and worst sides under Ange Postecoglou as Chelsea displayed why Enzo Maresca should be ignored when it comes to this title race.
We wouldn’t let a silly thing like the game not actually happening stop us from doing 16 Conclusions on the Merseyside Derby. Our thanks to ChatGPT for a wonderfully inaccurate ...
Liverpool swatted Man City aside four days after swatting Real Madrid aside to open a nine-point lead at the top of the Premier League. Handy week, that.
Of course Spurs followed defeat to Ipswich by thrashing champions Man City. Dejan Kulusevski was sensational. Two players were atrocious for Pep Guardiola.
It feels like another two points dropped for Arsenal, given recent events, but there were at least reasons for optimism in a hard-earned draw at Chelsea.
Alejandro Garnacho should be dropped but Manchester United have made an actual good signing! As have Chelsea with Moises Caicedo, it turns out.
Arsenal and Liverpool played out a tremendously entertaining 2-2 draw at the Emirates, but there’s no escaping the identity of the big winners from that result.
England have won the World Cup. Thomas Tuchel is a genius. Here are 16 Conclusions on his Harry Kane call, cap waving, Reece James and Lee Carsley’s legacy.
Yes, that’s right. We’ve got 16 Conclusions on a game in which almost nothing happened on a day when two other games had almost everything happen.
Tottenham were good but not as good as Manchester United were bad in another new low for Erik ten Hag, whose summer signings have changed nothing at Old Trafford.
Man City v Arsenal is without question a clash between the two best teams in the country and this was the best game between them since that became true.
Silly Spurs stumbled directly into a very obvious Arsenal trap. Plenty of thoughts here on Arteta, Ange, Vicario, Romero and woke kit nonsense.
Arne Slot humiliated Erik ten Hag, who should have walked away from Man Utd after an embarrassing summer. Ryan Gravenberch was slightly better than Casemiro.
Chelsea should consider dropping Enzo Fernandez before Raheem Sterling, but at least Romeo Lavia was good. Rico Lewis is even better for Manchester City.
Gareth Southgate and England losing by “fine margins” again feels careless. Harry Kane was abysmal, Declan Rice was poor and Kyle Walker must be dropped.
Gareth Southgate’s England are off to another major final after another dramatic late goal. It’s all par for the course, these days.
England are in the Euro 2024 semis in spite of their manager, captain and best player. Gareth Southgate, Harry Kane and Phil Foden must thank Bukayo Saka.
