The Premier League Thread

I don’t think teams would do that. The main difference is there isn’t a draft or salary cap (can’t see how either of those could ever come in really). When teams tank in American sports it’s to get players who aren’t good enough but earning lots off their wages and to get young players through the draft. Neither of those would be relevant in football.

Of course someone has to come last, I just think there is an argument that whoever that is year on year would still be more competitive than whichever sacrificial club(s) comes up from the Championship to get hammered for a season.

Anyway its all just theoretical, it won’t happen

There's no way we should be this far behind Leicester.

 

If we hadn't thrown that two goal lead away to them in September we wouldn't be.

 

Though in fairness I think they'd have more points if they kept Cooper.

 

Definitely.

And as I've said previously, I'd far rather be in our position as a club than theirs, going into next season.

 

Charly not starting against United, which makes it 50% less interesting to watch.

 

Don't like it, but difficult to argue with yout thought procesd

 

2-0 Everton…..UTD are awful

 

Slightly embarrassed we lost to them twice

 

What baffles me is how anyone still doesn’t know how to spell “lose”.

 

Bit unfortunate from our pov that Diallo picked up his injury after our game. We’d have won that one otherwise!

 

UTD pull one back.

 

thought the same but I didn't want to be the one...

 

So with Arsenal losing and Wolves winning, the inevitable at both ends of the table gets increasingly nearer.

Sky might have little to fucus on soon other than the race for Champions League.

 

Yep, the bottom three all conceding four and losing at home, while Wolves win away has put a few more nails in the promoted clubs respective coffins.

 

Wolves next 3 are Fulham/Everton at home and then a trip to St Mary's. Think they'll pull further and further away now.

 

I think that the problem is with spell checker (well, mine, anyway) as typing 'lose' immediately gets changed to 'loose'. I'm pedantic enough to go back and change 'loose' to 'lose', but I have time on my hands.

 

You are footlose and fancy three

 

Lol got a stream of Toon Forest on and the commentator just said "Isak only scored in one of his last 6 games which was against Southampton. Think I could even score against Southampton right now"
