NailWhat about the gap between first and seventh?
This.3 teams made it 1/3 of the way through the season unbeaten. No one outside the top6 has beaten a club inside the top 6. At it's heart the league is not competitive in the "anyone can beat anyone" way it was a few years ago.
Guardiola has raised the level of what's considered excellence in this league. If Liverpool, Chelsea etc trying to match that makes the league uncompetitive then it's really an indictment of how things were before. How much the big clubs were pissing about beforehand and how the smaller clubs have not caught up.
Oh, I do hope you are rightNapoli have the same budget as Burnley.
Let that sink in.
The premier league's lower half has been pissing away money for the last 5 years, keeping the standards the same while the money has ballooned.
Hopefully teams like Watford, Bournemouth and Everton are leading a charge of modtable sodes who realose that by just beong competent they can guarantee safety and maybe sneak into Europe.
I think we're seeing the end of twats like Pulis, Pardew and Hughes, to be replaced by gifted European coaches who can make use of the incredible amount of money they have access to.
Exactly. You’d think any scouse or Utd fan would be embarrassed at the notion that the leagues become uncompetitive based on how much money they’ve thrown at their squads.
Pep is simply the best manager about by a huge distance and the rags, dippers and all the media clowns that love said teams can’t seem to handle it so they just spout about the league becoming uncompetitive and it being so not fair. Bless them.
What’s irritating though is that get read by the thousands of sheep and starts to become the truth in their heads. My brother in law, nephew and best man at my wedding are all singing from the leagues boring and un-competitive hymn sheet and all blame our wealth. It’s so fucking stupid that I can’t even argue with them, I seem to just nod my head and brush it off but inside I’m thinking that they’re thick as fuck.
I agree, Utd spent massively over the years, maybe they made it uncompetitiveSour grapes on behalf of the establishment, learn to live with it you f@ckers just as we did back in the day.
The 10 seasons 2000/01 to 2009/10 - 40 Champion's league places up for grabs ;-For years it was only the rags and Arsenal who had any chance of winning the league till Chelsea turned up ,no one moaned then .No one was allowed to join the "big 4" club either .Now the rags and Arsenal don't get it there own way it ow the " big 6" The way the rags are going soon will big 8
