I scored 202 points in the 2025/26 Premier League Quiz on Falsenine! 🏆
Can you beat my score?
This should have been more as well but I didn’t answer the Everton Stadium question because the available answers are all wrong.
Unpopular opinion: Daniel Levy was hugely positive for Tottenham Hotspur.
Spurs’ chairman stepped down yesterday, understood to have been forced out by the controlling Lewis family, whose dad Joe ran the club for decades.
Many Spurs fans are rejoicing the man who represents failed transfers, too many managers and not enough trophies has gone.
But Levy is the most rare of commodities in a football world consumed by profits and brand awareness - he’s a fan.
When he arrived Spurs were outside the top ten in the league and fans’ only hope of Europe was on holidays.
Now they’ve been a top six club for 14 of the last 16 seasons, won the Europa League, been to a Champions League final and have one of the finest stadiums on the planet.
You only have to look at some of the the teams Spurs failed to beat the year he arrived - Charlton, Coventry, Derby, Southampton etc - to see that Levy has kept Spurs at the top for so long. With where they were st the time, it could have been very different.
So humbled. This is the first time I’ve ever got rewards for content on @farcaster and it feels great.
It’s a modest amount. But it’s a start!
Thanks to everyone who built and engaged to help it happen!
Any one else get rewards on here?
Morning-after headlines: City still sliding, West Ham wake up, Liverpool lovin’ it but killer for Villa.
City’s 2-1 defeat at Brighton makes grim reading for fans and title backers. What’s missing for Pep? Or do newer players like Marmoush, Reijnders and Cherki just need time.
Nobody saw West Ham winning at Forest. Great for boss Potter and a great celebration from Paqueta (look it up). Awful day for Nuno though ahead of crunch talks with City Ground owner Marinakis.
Arsenal looked like they had Liverpool worked out but were sunk by Szobozslai’s free-kick. Arteta needs to find something from somewhere to win these huge games. But will the fans give him time? To the neutral it’s crazy that the Gunners boss may be under increasing pressure.
Where has Villa’s start come from? They’re restricted by financial fairplay but should they be? Either way they are making moves in the market today. Harvey Elliott and Jadon Sancho look likely arrivals but do they need more than wingers?
Brighton v Man City: Guardiola looking to get back on track after Spurs defeat. But Brighton took four points off them last season.
Forest v West Ham: Battle of the beleagured bosses. Hammers in crisis already, Potter desperate for a win. But Nuno at loggerheads with Forest owner Marinakis over transfers. Also Forest striker Chris Wood loves playing West Ham. He has 8 Prem goals against them.
L’pool v Arsenal: Title decider in gameweek 3? Not really but Arteta will hope new No9 Gyokeres can give Arsenal a first win at Anfield since 2012… when Arteta was in the Gunners team!
A Villa v Palace: Villa desperately need an improvement after a slow start. Will Palace start to struggle after their midweek Euro success and with Eze having left the club?
The Real Jack Grealish?
At Aston Villa, Jack Grealish was a raw loose cannon, scorer of great goals, proud of his roots and a leader on the pitch.
City paid £100m for his tenacity, his ability to keep hold of the ball, Pep created a free-kick-winning machine - a possession monster.
But did he stifle some of Grealish’s creativity?
Now off the leash at Everton, could the real Jack Grealish shine through again - while now armed with all that he learned under Guardiola - and actually be the best he’s ever been?
What a day in the Prem - and it’s just Saturday.
Che 2-0 Ful: Pedro (again) and Fernandez score for Blues but Fulham boss Silva raging about VAR decisions. “I don’t know what direction game is going.”
Man U 3-2 Burnley: Brave Burnley display but shambolic game and refs taking centre stage again. Bruno won it with last-min penalty but is it a real relief for Amorim?
Sund’lnd 2-1 Brentford: Wilson Isidor’s crazy 24hrs. Becomes a dad then scores the winner to put Black Cats on 6 pts. Great start for the Prem new boys.
Spurs 0-1 Bournemouth: Cherries boss Iraola was the main rival to Thomas Frank for the Spurs job and he outthought him here. Away team were better in every aspect. Now Frank knows he has a big job on his hands.
Wolves 2-3 Everton: All about Jack Grealish. Two more assists, with Beto, Ndiaye and Dewsbury-Hall getting Toffees’ goals. But on Man City loanee Grealish, Everton boss Moyes said: “He’s much better than I thought.”
Leeds 0-0 Newcastle: Less said the better.

Biggest EPL talking point tomorrow?
- No contest, all eyes on Old Trafford. How does Ruben Amorim hit backafter Grum. With newly unemployed Jose Mourinho waiting in the wings? United need a result, are they capable of it though?
Sub-plots:
- Will Thomas Frank get (another) one over on Andoni Iraola, who was also a runner for the Spurs job, and yesterday said he sees Bournemouth’s hosts as an outsider for the title.
- Can Newcastle shake off the Isak blues to beat Leeds at a caustic Elland Road?
- How will the world champs cope with a London derby against Fulham
