Stan 15,939 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 yep, I believe so. Look at some of the results the 'lesser' teams are getting. Or maybe it's the bigger teams getting weaker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey 3,593 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Nope. Top teams were shit last year they are shit this year with the added disgrace that 8th place is 14 points off 4th. I just hope it's short term and is not what i fear that this tv money is too much money at the bottom, messing up the ordinary structure of a league table, leading to a big group of inconsistent teams with no one capable of emerging out of that with consistency.

Dan 1,741 Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 I'd probably say the top six is slightly stronger, but not significantly. The rest aren't. Are Man Utd, Man City, Spurs and Arsenal any better than last year? Chelsea & Liverpool are, are the others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carefreeluke 721 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Shite top teams leads to a more competitive league, the best league in the world as they keep telling us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HK85 267 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Probably not. Like said above, there aren't many teams you would say have improved on last season. Chelsea, Liverpool, Everton, West Brom are the evident ones, I'd possibly say Spurs have slightly improved as a team and Bournemouth are only in a better position because there's been so many declines. Only the top 7 have a positive goal difference. There's a lot of shite in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Culture 1,649 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Not at all, it's got worse quite significantly I'd say. Based on the 17 teams in the Premier League last season who're still there, how many have improved? Chelsea, Liverpool, Everton, Spurs, Stoke and West Brom I'd say have improved on their performance last season so that's about 35% of the league.

Dan 1,741 Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 I'd seriously contest Stoke there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Stoke are very good. I'd argue their consistent comfortable survival doesn't paint a very good picture for the league. I'm definitely convinced it's gotten weaker in the last few years. There aren't many teams who are really tough to beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storts 2,307 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 We've definitely improved, shouldn't even be in question, we are a much better team this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey 3,593 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Only because you've added Sissoko. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6666 1,132 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 It is stronger. Don't think there's much of a debate to be honest. I mean, Drinkwater looked like a good player last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon 2,674 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 It hasn't shown in Europe... Although Leicester are still in there fighting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was exactly what I was going to say. How can we be a stronger league when our top clubs can't even make it in the UCL? The only team that is represented well from England is Leicester who isn't even remotely top to a top six in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan 1,741 Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 Leicester have rediscovered what made us a good side. Just a case of how long we can keep that going for. Wouldn't be one bit surprised if we went and damaged it again in the summer. We've been every bit as good as we were last season in our last five.

Devil-Dick Willie 2,827 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 You're still a bunch of shit cunts getting whipped throughout Europe. United of 2008 would have won the league against this dross by now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
