What time is the right time for it? Nowt wrong with a few jibes imo. We've all said some daft knacker stuff in our time.
You could argue a lower points total to get into the playoffs indicates a stronger league, in terms of depth. I think anyway.
Have you watched teams this season and thought there's a lot of depth of quality in this league? Many average and inconsistent teams to me.
I would go down to Norwich in the league and suggest all those teams were capable, on their day. Inconsistent yes, but 13 teams capable of beating those around them.
