Manchester United and Arsenal Share the Points 1-1 | On the Spot Thoughts 10.03.2025 4:45

On what was a good start to Super Sunday with Spurs v Bournemouth the first 45 of Manchester United and Arsenal was a tough watch. Bruno Fernandes free kick at the end of the first half brought the game to life a little bit but this game was played exactly where both teams are at. Manchester United struggling and low on confidence while Arsenal have lost momentum and are blunt up top. The most int...

Real Madrid 2-1 Atletico - Rodrygo Is a Superstar | On the Spot Thoughts 05.03.2025 4:00

I watched the game between Real Madrid and Atletico last night. They are always great games especially in the Champions League. Is it just me or does Simeone make that "defensive" football seem cool? I dunno if it's the suits or what. Rodrygo doesn't ever get that superstar tag to him at a superstar club but he is some player. Elsewhere Arsenal put 7 passed PSV!Big game tonight i...

How Do Rangers Catch Celtic? | On the Spot Thoughts 04.03.2025 20:13

I have chatted to a few friends and family members who are Rangers fans and I was pretty surprised at the negative re action they had to Barry Ferguson being appointed manager after sacking Phillipe Clement. I know he's not had a great track record as a coach, but I thought that having him in till the end of the season seemed like a correct move. Then take it from there. This got me thinking s...

Build The Foundation- The Second Season Spike | On the Spot Thoughts 18.02.2025 24:01

After Spurs vs Manchester United on Sunday I had a good debate with my friends, my brother and my Dad on the state of Man United and what needs done for the manager to succeed. I feel that the job Ruben Amorim has is the job of reviving a club. It's more than just putting your formation and philosophy on the first team. It's rebuilding and shifting the mindset of a massive club. After this I start...

Arsenal Smash Man City 5-1 | Stay Humble Eh | On the Spot Thoughts 03.02.2025 9:53

Well well well. I predicted Manchester City to get something at the Emirates this weekend and it couldn't have been any further from what happened. Arsenal smashed then 5-1. Some moment in the game that City could have came back from but boy are they not the same team. That Aura has gone. It looks like it's down to Arsenal and Liverpool with Forest hanging in there. Elsewhere Everton are f...

While Rashford Is the Main Story, Pep's Team Are Back To Winning Ways | On the Spot Thoughts 30.01.2025 1:58

Kinda tired of hearing the whole Rashford stuff at the moment. Amorim doesn't want him and he wont't change his mind. Simple as that. Behind all this noise in the blue half of Manchester, City are sneakily getting back to winning ways without being at their peak selves. Keep an eye on them. I think they win at the Emirates this weekend. https://www.instagram.com/joshcannon93/ https://www.i...

Is Football Evolving From the "Pepification" Of the Game? | On the Spot Thoughts 27.01.2025 7:55

Huge win for Bournemouth at the weekend beating Forest 5-0. No one saw a win as emphatic as that coming. Meanwhile during the week after Manchester City's defeat to PSG, Pep Guradiola said that the game has moved on from posiotnal play. With City looking to move into a new cycle under Guardiola for potentially yhr last time, is the game of football evolving from what Pep has created in the las...

Selling Garnacho May Be Best For United Long Term | On the Spot Thoughts 24.01.2025 4:35

I know how we football fans feel about "academy products". But I really feel for where Manchester United are right now getting 70 million for Garnacho may not be a bad thing moving forwards. They need to completely re do this whole team and IF, thats a big if, they re invest wisely, I think selling a young streaky winger may not be a bad thing for the long term future of the team. Que Ga...

Darwin Nunez Gives Liverpool That Moment | On the Spot Thoughts 20.01.2025 6:42

Liverpool 2-2 Manchester United: On the Spot Thoughts 06.01.2025 6:58

All thoughts on Liverpool 2-2 Manchester United. United deserved the point if not more. Hungrier and more on it than Liverpool were in every aspect. Liverpool on the other hand were slow and not at the races. Trent's performance amidst the Real Madrid talk seem to overshadow Liverpool and the game. Remind me of when Steven Gerrard was thinking about leaving to go to Chelsea. Enjoy. https://linktr....
