Forest let off the hook again. Chelsea are diabolical given the money they've spent.

They were pants and they in trouble with Uefa i see, by selling their womans team for £200m to a sister company so they didnt breach PSR. Although i'm guessing it will only be a fine

They should get a points deduction, but bet they won't

It takes a bad transfer window. That's all. 

 

If Wolves fail to adequately replace Cunha, who will surely go this summer, they could be in the mix again next term. Honestly, 22-23 shows it could be almost anyone - nobody from the outside looking in would have backed us to go down despite the warning signs. 

 

Everyone bar the genuinely massive clubs could be a bad transfer window, wrong managerial appointment or injury crisis away from getting sucked in. It's tough for newly promoted clubs if nobody has any of those things or they get the recruitment wrong, but not impossible.

Agreed with what you say but the lack of mixing teams up will only make it more difficult.

 

There will be 17 teams in the PL next season who have at least 3 consecutive seasons under their belt. If Sheff U, Burnley, and Leeds get promoted, and Luton get relegated, then the only clubs in the Champ with parachute payments will be the relegated clubs. 

 

We really do need to start hoping for more established sides to drop, even if we're not in the Prem in the season it happens.

[Corky]

The applause looked a bit tepid from the Southampton fans. KPFC followers won't need to do too much to beat them.

I think that makes the Championship more problematic than the Premier League from a competitive standpoint. 

 

Ourselves, Ipswich and Southampton will be coming down with an enormous financial headstart over every other team in the division.

 

Just as you can all but guarantee that at least one, if not more, promoted team will go straight back down, you can pretty much say the reverse about the relegated sides.

'there's still all to play for' say Sky Sports as they try to hype up viewership for our game tomorrow

You'd think players like Philogene and Delap will probably go, but they didn't have them last season either.

Interesting to see how they do if players like that do leave, always felt last season was them riding the momentum from League One. They'll need to try and stop the momentum of losing from this season though, with potentially a core of players still from their League One promotion.

Predictably dull

[foxfanazer]

Dorgu... More like Doggo 

[Foxin_Mad]

I can see with how Jammy Notts are somehow we will win with a deflection of Dakas arse, as if the geordies win the 2 games in hand they are a point behind them

For the amount of money in this league. The quality has really been low this year.

Football in it's current version is just so dull. No mavericks just system players and low risk football

An extremely forgettable Premier League season.

[AKCJ]

Quality in the Premier League has fallen off a cliff since our last relegation.

 

Watching United vs City and nothing remotely impressive has happened in 35 minutes. Neither team can string 5 passes together unless they're sideways and some of the touches have been awful.

 

[Skidmark]

I think PSR kills it.

 

Gone are the days of someone spaffing 50 mill on shit players like Robinho.

It's not only PSR. It's the brand of football combined with these laughable primadonnas who identified themselves as footballers. It's a sideways and back passing borefest, I'd rather watch a 3h chess game than this abomination with the stupid rules for everything happening on the pitch.

Commentators perpetuate myths about quality. O'Reilly received a pass earlier on, his first touch sent it 10 feet upwards, then he had to compete to win possession. Drury was full of praise for his ball control.

[Bilo]

If we come up again, I advocate we just go for it. We're needlessly frightened of PSR.

Neville has just said something similar on commentary. Pep has basically killed the PL as a spectacle by being so successful with possession-based football, which other clubs have been trying to emulate unsuccessfully with inferior players. It has just led to increasingly dull football.

Typified by this absolute bore-fest. The lack of quality is apparent all over the pitch. 

[TheGoldenGod]

Yup. Sky will be panicking cause its at the forefront of people's minds. 3 teams up are down. Title done. Manchester Derby putting insomniacs to sleep. The product is so stale!

[Tomo260]

I can't wait for this season to end. It's like watching some die slowly. You know it's happening.

 

Give me the championship please

Pep didn't invent the wheel with possession based football, he manipulated it by having billions to spend to bring in the best. This increased the gap and forced other teams to apply severe defensive tactics to survive.

Top flight football is finished isn’t it?. Does anyone even watch full 90 minute games now? I usually turn off after 10 minutes or so. 
 

Im getting back into non league ground hopping next season. 
 

Im annoyed at the way the club has been run and loads of good work pissed away but not being in the Prem doesn’t bother me at all.

VAR and PSR have killed what little romance was left in the game.
