Arsenal sent terrifying ‘title warning’ by ballsy Enzo Maresca and Manchester City

Arsenal will be shocked to learn that Manchester City have enough ‘options’ to ‘be there’ at the end of the season and ‘compete’.

Mikel Arteta’s team of literal juggernauts have already overcome Chelsea, mind, so should be fine.

Fred letter days After the entirely fair judgement call on Monday that Erling Haaland’s purchase of a caravan was patently the biggest story in all of football after a bumper Premier League weekend and before the return of the Champions League, it is worth checking what The Sun puts atop their homepage on Tuesday.

Their football homepage, by the way, because…

Yep. Sod the Arsenal v Chelsea stuff, any European bluster, Graeme Souness saying things again and any other such nonsense, because Freddie Flintoff is trying to get rid of Phil Neville’s old property.

Can’t wait for the Sky Sports montage of all Premier League managers being asked about it in their press conferences by Gary Cotterill in full cricket kit.

Tall order Mediawatch does not especially disagree with the idea floated in The Sun that Morgan Rogers could have made Arsenal ‘practically unplayable’ had he joined in the summer.

As Rahman Osman says, the England international is ‘a bloody good footballer’. Arsenal wanted him, and for good reason.

But he is also really quite tall, and that is the crux of this particular argument:

The problem is the idea that Arsenal ‘were a team of mountains’ and ‘a team of giants’ – that phrase is used twice – at the weekend, with centre-halves ‘as tall as the skyscrapers of Manhattan’ and ‘the man mountain that is Declan Rice’ in midfield, even if he is obviously rubbish.

Quite what that makes a Chelsea side which had a greater average height and taller centre-halves is unknown.

Enzo the world as we know it (and I feel fine) Arsenal will otherwise be reeling at this from the Daily Mirror website:

Not sure Arsenal need their closest challengers from last season and a side which broke the world record for most money spent in a single transfer window this summer to fire a Premier League title warning, but sure.

And this really is ballsy stuff from big Enzo:

Arsenal are, in other words, absolutely f**ked.

Roll of the Dyche Really enjoyed this attempt from Ian Ladyman in the Daily Mail at some identity-concealing mystery:

He simply cannot reveal who this manager is. But it does feel like it might be the one who was sacked after a player crisis meeting in which complaints about his coaching were brought up. And the one who has publicly alluded to such problems with members of his squad, including mocking the suggestion he was “working the players too hard, before adding that “the excuse level in football has gone through the roof” with players.

For privacy’s sake, let’s just call him Sean D. No, that’s too obvious. Let’s say S. Dyche.

One of these things is not like the other ”The most competitive league in the world? Don’t be ridiculous. It’s rigged’: Angry insiders doubt whether Aston Villa, Newcastle, Everton and Co can ever break the Premier League’s glass ceiling and challenge the ‘arrogant’, free-spending ‘Big Six” – MailOnline.

1) The 2026 Europa League winners who will soon start their second Champions League season in four years.

2) The 2025 Carabao Cup winners who have played Champions League football in two of the last four seasons.

3) The 1995 FA Cup winners who haven’t finished in the top half for half a decade and have one striker.

Don’t think you have to be an ‘angry insider’ to doubt whether Everton can ever break the Premier League’s glass ceiling.
