GCFA PREMIER LEAGUE

August was a whirlwind at the top level — saves, screamers, and plenty of sideline squabbles. I’ve been there, notebook in hand, listening to the chatter, scrolling the socials, and checking in with my so-called ‘insiders’.

Now, don’t expect everyone to nod along. These are my choices for the Premier League Team of the Month. Some you’ll agree with, others will have you spitting out your tea. That’s the beauty of it — controversy keeps the league alive.
