Bruno Fernandes wins PFA Player of the Season, Arsenal the league champions play some of the most boring football imaginable, Man City sit top despite their 114 charges, and Manchester United can barely win consecutive games. The Premier League’s quality is hitting rock bottom. Football is depreciating, and the state of this league is embarrassing.

Manchester United have lost their fear factor, and that is a bigger problem than people realise. Leeds United didn't respect us because they knew they could hurt us. They outplayed us physically, technically and tactically, creating more chances and looking the better team in almost every department. The scary part isn't just that United are struggling to win games. It's that opponents no longer fear us. Rebuilding that reputation will take years.

Arsenal are long overdue a world-class striker who can guarantee 20 league goals a season. That is one of the biggest differences between them and Manchester City, who have Erling Haaland to win games single-handedly. Arsenal’s defence keeps masking their attacking deficiencies, but you cannot rely on clean sheets forever. They need a ruthless goalscorer who can decide big games. Go all out for a striker like Julián Álvarez. If Arsenal are serious about consistently winning the Premier League and Champions League, their attack needs a serious upgrade.

Ruben Amorim and Manchester United were never a compatible match. Amorim is a project manager who wants time to build a long-term philosophy and structure. United want results without showing the ambition or patience required to build something sustainable. As long as the Glazers remain, I doubt any project manager can truly succeed there. Amorim failed to deliver the results, but the environment was never right for his vision. AC Milan could be different. Give him the freedom and backing to implement his philosophy, and he could build something special.

Madueke might have scored the winner, but Ezri Konsa was Arsenal’s REAL MVP against Nottingham Forest. He won duels, made tackles, defended set-pieces and produced a crucial last-minute clearance to deny Liam Delap. That tackle saved Arsenal two points. He’s filling Saliba’s shoes so well that nobody is even missing him. Konsa is THAT guy.

Manchester United’s poor form isn’t because of Champions League football. It’s because INEOS failed to improve the squad after finishing 3rd. You cannot go from playing once a week to competing in multiple competitions and expect a squad with just three midfield signings, no proper striker, no LB reinforcement and inadequate depth to magically improve. Tonali, Bruno Guimarães and Elliott Anderson were available, yet United opted for cheaper options like Tielemans and Santos. Baleba makes sense, but the recruitment overall was nowhere near good enough. Carrick isn’t a Manchester United-level manager, but the board and owners have blood on their hands too. You cannot demand better results while refusing to provide the quality needed to compete. More games require a better squad. INEOS failed to deliver, and both Carrick and the fans are paying the price.

La Liga’s constant drama involving Real Madrid, the referees, the Negreira case and Javier Tebas is damaging the league’s reputation. Most Premier League fans couldn’t even name the league’s executives. Yet everyone knows Tebas because he’s constantly involved in controversy. La Liga needs better organisation and professionalism. These endless scandals are damaging its credibility and the trust fans have in the competition.
