So many injuries this season across all the clubs, seems to be impacting the Top 7 quite badly.

Apart from City of course who just have De Bruyne out and definitely aren’t taking PED’s to keep their injuries in check. Arsenal did it with ‘vitamin’ injections in the 90’s

City just have an incredibly strong squad, they can sub anyone and lose very little quality.

True, but every team would struggle without their most important player

They also control their games and aren't doing quite as many full field sprints to track back. Or, at the very least, that's what I suspect the stats will back up.

And paid the refs as well dont forget. You just don't have a chance do you?

With city’s players often flying out to see the doctor Pep has been using since he was a player (pep got caught twice for drug cheating whilst working with this doctor)

Everyone does that. It's a multi-billion dollar industry where players can make generational wealth. Anyone who thinks PED usage isn't rife at the top levels of every major sport is naive as hell.

It's definitely the knock-on effects from the mid-season WC i reckon

A lot of teams had american preseasons aswell, playing on those pitches fucked over Arsenal

Yeah I’m wondering if teams will be avoiding American tours next summer especially after the euros. I think it’d be pretty cool to just do a local tour
