PREMIER LEAGUE 2025/2026 REPORT - SEPTEMBER

 




It's September, and you know what that means: IT'S BACK TO SCHOOL!!! I'm jesting, as I have not been bothering with education in like a year or so, which still feels a bit weird. But nevertheless, what's also back is the monthly report of the Premier League, where I take few of the most significant matches of the month and I ramble about them for a bit. And as for my lack of presence with writing... I just had no inspiration nor motivation to write anything. Not a single digit thought to create something on (digital) paper. Nada. NOTHING!

 

 

MANCHESTER UNITED vs. CHELSEA

 


I watched a Mortal Kombat fight rather than a Premier League football match. The rain, the aggression, the bloodshed. It was all there man!

For the first 7 minutes, the game was fresh and fine. But then Sanchez's tackle on Mbuemo in the 8th made the game disappear. Like, the game was gone. It was so gone, by the time the 10th minute rolled in, Chelsea made 2 subs: the first one was obvious (to replace their keeper), but the second one was very odd. At first I thought it was to add a player that can work with a 10-man squad, but looking at it now, I don't think it was worth it.

Then near the end of the second half, Casemiro got sent off for a rough tackle that was worthy of a yellow card(the bloke already had a yellow). But by that point, United were 2-0 and clearly set to win the game.

A goal from Chalobah in the 80th minute to make the score 2-1 wasn't enough to make the blues stage an epic comeback.

Alongside the Mortal Kombat comparison, the match also felt like I was watching an awful Sunday League game between 2 sub-par teams. I had to rearrange my jaw because it was open and refused to close itself for 2 hours straight (including the half times).

 

 

 

ARSENAL vs. MANCHESTER CITY

 


Two of the fiercest teams in the League faced off with lots to win and even more to lose. And in the end, neither gained a thing.

Haaland scored in the 9th minute, which was dope, I suppose. Then City did fuck all until they conceded in the 93rd minute.

Arsenal did fuck all after conceding and did something in stoppage time to deny City the 3 points.

The only take people got from this game is City played defensively and scared, whereas Arsenal were playing like Arsenal, minus the flair that Wenger had when he managed the team back in the day.

Overall it was a shit match, not going to lie.

 

 

CRYSTAL PALACE vs. LIVERPOOL

 


As a fellow whose first love was Palace, THIS WAS A BEAUTIFUL OUTCOME!

Crystal Palace are having a pretty fucking strong start of the season, with 3 wins, 3 draws and... 0 DEFEATS??? And this game was to decide which team would win the "last team to lose their lossless record gets to be clowned or made fun off" challenge??? Oh how I love irony.

Palace was on Liverpool from the start of the match, as the reds have been going through a questionable period over the last few weeks, with performances that range from okay to "wtf did I just watch". Sarr banged one for the eagles in the 9th minute and unlocked a new level of hope and spirit support for his team and the fans. Despite Palace's amazing form, Liverpool weren't far behind in creating their own chances and playing lovely football, despite their weird form. Chiesa found the back of the net in the 87th minute of the game, and Liverpool kind of hoped to end it on a draw, as the team just wasn't able to do squat in order to make a comeback.

BUT THEM RED & BLUE EAGLES SHUT THOSE SCOUSE BASTARDS WITH A GOAL FROM NKETIAH IN THE LAST TOUCH OF THE GAME TO RUIN THEIR LOSSLESS RUN, GET THE 3 POINTS, AND BE SO FUCKING CLOSE TO ACTUALLY BEING FIRST!!!

Alright, what the bloody fuck is this start of the season and why do I like it?

 

 

NOTTINGHAM FOREST vs. SUNDERLAND

 


In the left corner, we have a team with rich history and legendary presence on the field. On the right, we have a team that just keeps getting relegated all the time. And because of their mascot, Bradley. That last bit isn't to throw shades at the team. That boy is the reason why the black cats are back and are doing FANTASTIC AS I'M WRITING THIS!!!

For a team that's known for shitting itself the moment the season starts, 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss is mighty impressive for Sunderland. You could say that alongside Bradley, the new signings are also helping the team to perform well, especially their best purchase in their history, Granit Xhaka. The guy's a baller, let me tell you what. And this confirmation of success was proven when he assisted Alderete who scored the only goal in this game in the 38th minute, and help the team keep a clean sheet with his techinque and ability to know where he needs to go and where and when to stand his ground.

Alongside that, Sunderland as a whole played sweet. Plenty of good positionings from the players, lots of chances, and best of all, the players were feeling happy and lucky, contrary to their moniker being "The Black Cats".

In the end, the happy and jolly black ca- PANTHERS, went back home with 3 points, 5th place in the League, and lots of Wood to use to heat themselves from the upcoming cold autumn days that are to come...

 

 

 

STANDINGS

 


 

 

Yeah... I'm just empty with stuff to write about. This was a bit weary to create, but it was a decent warm up for my writing skills. Hopefully during SPOOKY MONTH I'll create something that's worthwhile reading.

 

 

 

Until next time,
