So Ligue 1 should be much more interesting come post world cup. Unlike previous seasons which 2 teams gets relegated and the third has the relegation playoffs, this season has 4 teams automatically relegated. This is due to Ligue 1 moving down to 18 teams. Should be interesting to watch as there is always a big team or two that avoids relegation at the end of the year by finishing 17th but this year, that won't fly
 
Ouch!

Arsenal were top of the league in January 2016, and they still managed to drop out of the title race before Spurs, and lose the league to Leicester. If they finish above Guardiola and Haaland's Man City, I'll suck a cock.

FC Bayern had it's annual member meeting on the weekend. Usually it has a lot of shitshow potential and lots of people yelling at each other. Uli Hoeneß yelling at fans, fans yelling at the higher ups, fans yelling at fans, etc. This year it was kind of lame besides a bomb threat and this special fan.

He is upset about that a lot of people are talking about Qatar and the human rights issues there but no one is talking about the human rights violation in the Bayern stadion itself. The human rights violation he is speaking about: people burning fireworks bc smoke of fireworks is poison and he has to inhale all the poisonous smoke which violates his human rights to not be harmed.
And he is dead serious about it.
 
So the Mbappe story has gone the way I thought it would. A bunch of stuff gets leaked about Mbappe being unhappy with PSG and having broken promises. Mbappe comes out a few days later saying the story is completely untrue.
And now Mbappe is playing down the left and I imagine there will be a few moves made in January. This is how Mbappe plays the media to get what he wants
 
Now that City's unbeaten streak has come to an end, I think it's time to appreciate how good Napoli have been this season. They're still unbeaten domestically and are perfect through 4 games in Europe. I've been watching pretty much all their games since the Liverpool beatdown and imo they are for real. Here are few reasons why I think they're not going anywhere:

1) The midfield. Zielinski, Anguissa and Lobotka have been working really well together and each brings something different. Zielinski is the trequartista, Anguissa the box-to-box and Lobotka as a CDM/deep lying playmaker. Lobotka especially has been really impressive, at times looking like a Marco Verratti type player with his elite balance and low center of gravity.

2) Khvicha Kvaraskhelia. What a player. Absolutely electric with the ball at his feet and has improved his decision making over the past month. Could've easily finished with 3-4 assists in their last game but settled for the game winning assist. If you haven't already done so, watch this player. He's going straight to the top.

3) Attacking depth. Kvara is the star player in this attack but Oshimen was the breakout striker from last season. He was injured for a month and Raspadori played himself into the starting 11 filling in for him. Then you have Lazano/Politano on the right and plenty of capable squad players. The only attacking player they can't afford to lose is Kvara.

And the football is beautiful, not at all what you'd expect from an Italian side. They're already through to the knockout round of the CL and I'm looking forward to see if they can make a run.
