I've just noticed a rather odd anomaly.
Liverpool are playing the same three teams after us.
Leicester
Wolves
Sheffield United
Now on the face of it there doesn't appear to be anything ominous about that.
However, historically teams that play us tend to perform poorly in their next game. This makes sense because we're not like any other team and we physically drain our opponents.
Leicester last night is a perfect example.
If I was looking to help a team out over the hectic schedule I would probably engineer it so that they play the team that has just played against Manchester City.
Yep hand picked games then the tv companies pick the games to hurt us and help the scousers! There certainly some back handers going on! Suppose a history club doing well and winning the league will keep the big bucks coming in for premier rights and other teams in the league will be happy with that too! If premier money drops dramatically a lot of teams will be in deep shit they rely on that money!
