It means that the team who won the league can hammer the team who came 4th 8-2. And don't give me none of that bollocks about Arsenal having players out, teams in the top 4 should be able to field a good team
Good research/knowledge And it's unpredictable that 3 of those teams are now not even in the premier league!
Not really, maybe I have seen too many false dawns to get myself excited anymore but I just think the manchester team (city) will win too many games for us to keep up
Still waiting for that quote So the whole point of this argument is about which league is better, so when we say that Rooney scores decent figures in the hardest league in the world (imo), and Messi scores amazing figures in a not-so-hard league (imo), we can compare.
FINAL TABLES (In my opinion) 1)Manu 2)Chelsea 3)City 4)Arsenal 5)Spurs 6)Villa 7)Norwich 8)Everton 9)Liverpool 10)Stoke 11)Sunderland 12)Newcastle 13)Fulham 14)Wolves 15)WBA 16)Blackburn 17)Swansea 18)Bolton 19)wIGAN 20)QPR
Knowledge, of course. Plus Newcastle have been down and back up again in that time. And? That's football. Arsenal were, to borrow a quote from the eminent wordsmith Bart Simpson, "craptacular". It was one game. So what? As I said on the "EPL" thread, or whatever it was called, Real Madrid's reserves thrashed Valencia 6-3 away last season, and it was only that close because they eased off at 6-1. Why don't we pick and choose results from La Liga?
Liverpool are a bit high there buddy. They are a joke club. They bought some awful players and they think they are the best. Henderson is a joke. Caroll belongs in league 1. Downing is so average it is beyond belief.
The following will be a rant similar to the Fifa Rankings one. City 3rd? You mad? The strength and depth of the squad will see them contending to the very last day. Tevez for back-up? Q.P.R are bottom? Joey Barton? SWP? What about this experience that they have got now, they are sure to stay up or at least be 18th. Bolton? I won't. Liverpool 9th? So they will finish lower than last season, despite having a better manager and having revamped to squad with British players? You are ******ed. Most vitally, BLACKBURN 16TH?? At least when I did my predictor, it was half way through the season and it was from the BBC website. Even then Man Utd had to win the ****ing thing!
All that Charlton balls. When did they last figure? I am not argueing that the EPL is less competitive than La Liga just that '4-5 teams' can win the EPL. Utter nonsense
2003-2004. They were very much in the running until April/May, and finished 7th - seven points off a Champions League place. Had it not been for Scott Parker leaving for Chelsea in the January, they may well have maintained their good form for longer. Do you disagree?
