Yes. Vast majority of teams outside if top 4 adopt a safety first approach because they're **** scared of going down. Oh and there's more mediocre players in a load of teams than you can shake a stick at - God knows I have seen enough of them this season
Yes! Tottenham have managed to get into the top 4 again, so obviously standards have fallen drastically.
The premiership use to be great where you watched teletext refresh, and then you look forward to MOTD. Gone are the good old days.
