Who takes 2nd place in next Premier League season
Depending on how the transfer window goes for Man utd and Liverpool….. I would say there will be a 3 way battle between man city, Newcastle and either man utd or Liverpool for next seasons title, Just SportsFila opinion.
Man City’s title rivals have been really poor this season when you take into account Arsenal and Man Utd weren’t even playing Champions League football midweek, Newcastle weren’t even in Europe, Arsenal were out of the domestic cups early on and out of Europe by March. Yet none of them could push City.
Manchester City Wins Premier League title for 3rd straight season
In 2001/02, the title race were pretty complicated because it involves Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool. Even Newcastle United and Leeds United had one moment where they finished at pole positions.
Manchester United had a huge inconsistent results, which saw them locked in ninth by the end of the first half. A winning streak was followed, pushing them to the top places, but in the end.

Manchester United and Newcastle could still be in the running for one of their main transfer targets, with a race to sign Ruben Neves expected to spark into life following Champions League qualification.
How Title Pretenders Arsenal Disappointed Their Fans
Barcelona have been heavily linked to the Wolves midfielder in recent weeks, with a swap deal potentially involving Ansu Fati being widely reported. However, they will now have to compete with the financial might of the Premier League, with both United and Newcastle expected to pursue a deal to sign the Portuguese international.
Newcastle. UCL, new sponsorship deals, summer transfer window… just saying. They will get some great signings in, and have more squad depth as well. They will definitely get top 4 next season, and I’m pretty sure they will convert many of those draws they had earlier this season into wins next season. And, just 5 losses this season with a pretty limited squad, so yes, I can see them getting second.
“I think Amad Diallo can play centre-midfield for utd, you know. Just give him the ball and he very rarely loses it.
“We’ve had huge success down the right-hand side of the pitch with those two linking and playing with each other, people running off the back of the two of them and sliding people in. It’s very profitable for us. He is versatile.
Guardiola Vows to win the Premier League for next 10 Years
“I see United games, I watch a lot of football, and Bruno [Fernandes] plays a bit of everywhere, off the right sometimes, inside as a 10 or as a running 8, he can play deep and link the midfield up. Amad is a similar type of footballer.”
Though Amad is unlikely to be deployed as a No.8 for United, there could be scope for him to operate as a No.10, as well as a winger, of course. Donny van de Beek’s underwhelming Reds career has meant that Bruno Fernandes, since Jesse Lingard’s and Juan Mata’s exits last summer, has not had an understudy to compete with.
If Gundogan leaves, City will have some trouble replacing his crucial goals, he has been the most clutch player City have had over the last couple of seasons. but then again Pep will come around and surprise us with another masterplan, SportsFila.com predicts.
Never been one of those who say “next season could be a 4 horse race, x, y ,z are all going to be better” because multiple teams never all improve to the required level. It’s almost always wishful thinking.
However, if Utd get Kane, just his goals could be enough to have them be in the conversation come Februrary/March and then from there you never know
If Arsenal do get Rice and Caicedo you’d fancy them to get a similar number of points
And if Liverpool make the right midfield signings, they will be up there. Whether their backline will be good enough or protected enough by a new midfield to win a PL who knows, but they have the mentality to compete.
Plus no-one ever has won 4 in a row. City didn’t do the Threepeat the first time of asking.

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.
- Ten Hag Says Man United Are on Track
- Liverpool blame themselves for FA Cup loss to Man United
- Man United searching for Erik ten Hag replacement
Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
