Discussions on the 2022-23 Premier League Season Soccer

A bad but not unexpected result for Leicester tonight leaves them in the bottom 3 with two games remaining.

It feels like Leicester are the worst of the four teams in terms of how they're performing currently but they have the most quality in the side so can't rule them out.

Leeds and Forest probably playing the best of the sides currently but you'd argue are the weaker of the four sides.

Everton are kind of middle of the road.

Going to be a good battle for the neutrals.

Brentford and England striker Ivan Toney has been banned from football for eight months over 262 betting breaches.⁠
⁠
The 27-year-old will not be able to play for his club or country until his suspension comes to an end on January 16.⁠
⁠
It also means Toney, who has scored 21 goals in 35 appearances for Brentford this season, is unlikely to move this summer as his suitors are likely to be deterred due to his ban.

It also means Toney, who has scored 21 goals in 35 appearances for Brentford this season, is unlikely to move this summer as his suitors are likely to be deterred due to his ban.

The FA will apply to FIFA to make Ivan Toney's eight-month ban from football a worldwide sanction.

It means the Brentford striker, who was suspended on Wednesday with immediate effect until January 16 2024 and fined £50,000 after admitting 232 breaches of the FA's betting rules, would not be allowed to go on loan to a foreign club while he serves his punishment.

The idea was raised as a possibility when it became clear that the sanction - set by an independent commission, but enforced by the FA - applies only to English football.

Notts Forest beat Arsenal 1-0 to secure their Premier League status for another season and the result also means Man City are confirmed as the league champions without kicking a ball!!!

Wow. Arsenal really fell away badly during the title run-in.

Well done to City, they have been relentless in their pursuit of the title and played some excellent football.

Man City receive a guard of honour from Chelsea before the match and lift the Premier League trophy after a 1-0 victory.

Brighton beat Southampton 3-1 and secure European football for the first time in their history.

Leeds lose at West Ham to remain in the bottom 3 and the relegation fight goes to the last match of the season where any two from Everton, Leeds, and Leicester could be relegated and all needed to find a win in the fight for survival.

Leicester plays Newcastle tomorrow so they could close the gap going into the last week though I expect Newcastle to win.

The final fixtures...

Everton v Bournemouth
Leeds v Tottenham
Leicester v West Ham

All 3 have winnable games. I think Leeds and Leicester will go down tbh.
