That is an interesting fact.

I really dont know why that is, probably because teams are going for the win more, or maybe there is a big gap in the quality of the teams like Hull compared to Sunderland etc.

One thing is for sure, it seems to be very exciting.

There were 5 draws alone last sunday in Serie A. More than the premier league throughout the current season so far.

it's because strikers have been on it (bent, defoe, drogba, gabby a, rooney, torres etc) and defenders have not (carra, rio, everyone at hull etc)

There have been some thrilling draws in Serie A. It has been enjoyable so far this season too. The Premier League has had a goal glut so far this season, Spurs must have had a massive say in that? :)

Lets be honest the premier league has really stepped up a gear this year, when sunderland and wolves can provide an entertaining game you just know its going to be a good season.

Don't get me wrong these facts are interesting yet meaningless. If your looking at it from an entertainment view, a 2-2 draw is more enjoyable to watch than a 2-0 for example especially for the neutral football fan due to the shear fact of more goals.

Entertaining due to the fact that both teams were awful at defending. :)

After seeing Racing's efforts last week, I don't think you could say that Wolves and Sunderland were worse! lol

The defending wasn't even that bad in that game. Aside from the corner which Turner score from.

Personally I think it comes down to money and how much of an effect it has on our game. The amount of money you get for staying in the Premiership is astonishing, especially when you compare it to what you get if you get relegated.

Sitting back and settling for a point isn't really going to keep you in the league, even more so with other teams going gung-ho. Teams are being more adventurous and going for wins, and this results in leaving massive gaps for the opposition to play, or whether it just be the style of football the team are playing to win the match.

Well I said it.

You brought La Liga up too.:)

I'm not and would never say they defend better in La Liga, they clearly don't like to defend, where as in recent years the Premier League has become more defensive in a way. Which isn't a bad thing.

From where I was sitting the game was entertaining but as Bruce said, both teams switched off and made it a game for the neutral.

Not on the subject, but are you a big Darren Fletcher fan?

If so, I'm in agreement. I have a secret love for him. Underrated as f uck

Yeah.

I used to hate him, thought he was shit. One of my best mates is a United fan, (not a plastic, he's watched United in Rome, had season tickets) and every time he'd get back from Old Trafford, he'd rave about Fletcher, so I took it upon myself to watch him a bit more closely and he is awesome, because he can do pretty much anything and rarely fails to do a job for the team.

Good DM. Works hard and will never give up. Would hate to play against him. Shame he's a scot, would be nice to have him in our national side.

I felt exactly this way.

He has proved so many wrong, I think he is a fantastic player, so often we look at players with skill and players such as Fletcher don't get mentioned. I have praised him to people and they say "nah, he is shit, only gets in because Fergie is Scottish"
