How Man City should be punished
First off, a technicality that UEFA didn’t pursue only makes you think of corruption. As a sports enthusiast without any involvement with any particular team, I believe Manchester City deserves a penalty that proves that the Premier League is significant and that you cannot profit from such flagrant behavior.
If expulsion is possible that should be imposed for at least four years and all trophies taken off them. If all other options are available, the Premier League will deduct 100 points from their next year and another 75 every subsequent season until four years have passed since then. Everton and Forest are equivalent to 100 items.

Its always been about the money
In response to Dale this morning who said that the Premier League was all about who is the richest? I have some terrible news for you: everything started with the Blackburn factory owners in the 1890s, then the business centers in the 1970s, and now London’s financial strength. What makes a team stronger when it has a billionaire owner and is largely dominated by the most wealthy owners and sponsors
? Were Blackburn richer than Manchester United or did Kenny Daglish make them more attractive to play for, do players prefer the stability and system of Guardiola to the constant churn at Chelsea and United ( Manchester ).
And because every email seems to suggest Liverpool’s out-of-contract people, which would you rather sit on?
Buena Suerte Trento!

Really a swift one in comment to Dale. Because so few people are actually that arrogant, no some ( or very few people ) may leave the Premier League. Sports has its own planet, according to
. Individuals had a 5 minute anger at venues being bought by sport-washing Royal states with brutal human rights information. People attending the game haven’t actually stopped because of an almost constant war against ticket prices. The absurd shutdown in the UK at 3 PM. Individuals spending 1300 a month to see a top club player in his 30s. Following season, there will be a brand-new incident. And finally agreeing to pay 1000 annually to enjoy it all over again after a brief moment of fury shaken fists.
Best League In The World, bruv? Upon looking over the last 10 years ( seen as a sensible/round figure ) and noting any agendas or statistics fit an argument, it turned out that 5 out of the top 6 in the league have actually finished, on one order or another, as the top 6
Si, LFC
Discussing the Big/Top Six
However, in the last six years, it has only happened once, and all six have finished as the best six.
Villa, Newcastle, Brighton, Leicester and West Ham have all featured in that top 6 come the end of the season ( all only once apart from Leics shockingly, at twice )
Only City ( and that might even change this year ) and Liverpool have been in the top 6 every time in the last 6years ..
Does that means its really only a big 2? Without a doubt, we can’t say that about Germany or Scotland ( or is Germany really only one country ). Do we need to reinvent BIG, or
?
Has league position got absolutely sod all to do with it and we go purely on history or potential for expenditure ( Welcome Forest ( for both ) and Newcastle to the BIG 8 if so )
Or is it just an assumption that those 6 teams will almost always fill the top 6 slots? Can we completely abandon the BIG 6 moniker because this hasn’t been the case for the past six years?
It is obvious that it is just a collective term for six team, which we all know who we mean.
How many times does a team needed to be out of the BIG 6 before we disregard them?
And similarly, how long does a team have to be in the TOP 6 for them to be included at someone else’s expense, or does it just naturally develop into the BIG 7 ( won’t someone think of the backlash ), for instance
despite none of the BIG 6 having been out of the top 6 for more than two years in total, in the last 10 seasons? So maybe until one of them has to be a patient for five years?
or 5yrs from 10? Or,
they can’t possibly become one of the BIG 7 or BIG 8[197993]Does anyone treatment? We may look at the Premier League tables for games over the past ten years, and

When I was a kid, I was an awful loser ( many would say I still am! ). The significant, strops, and fits. My mother told me that if I behaved that way, no one would like me and that I was a small sh*t. But I tried actually hard and became very generous, very sultry, very polite etc in defeat. But, I ended up being a terrible winner. I made fun of my competitors, saying they would not succeed, while making out my triumph meant more than others. My dad then took me aside and pointed out that both were sh*tty attitudes, and so I learned to really enjoy playing regardless of the result. Which brings me to Liverpool
. They will be the league’s worst finalists in the last 20 years, in my opinion, from a personal standpoint. Yes, worse than Leicester ( at least Leicester were memorable ). And Liverpool’s supporters will continue to be annoying, as often. As if they had accomplished something wonderful, they would be far away if it weren’t for the injuries and collapses that caused them. That they grind out their dreary benefits will be all they are remembered for IMO. No one else will speed your defeat outside of Merseyside, so enjoy it. Enjoy your slender king.

You might not be from Liverpool, but with overwrought, self-indulgent, self-mythologising waffle like thatI can assure you, youre 100 % scouse. Prevent citing Premier League statistics because the older man is shouting at the clouds

Mo Salah and Erling Haaland perhaps also score enough goals to merit being vilified as ridiculous, but they will need to reach a new level to suit the 60 Dixie Dean goals in a single season. At least Haalands exploits a couple of years previously earned him a place in the top 20, so he has a foundation to build on.
Harry Kane might beat Alan Shearers overall if he makes a comeback to England, but that would only leave him with a place in the list of all-time scorers. With one more aim, he would join Tony Cottee, whose 136 pre-Prem cuts have been disqualified by the FA and Sky Sports. Besides, Kane would need to keep playing and scoring at his past Premier League charge for more than five months to moon Jimmy Greavess history of 357. The 1992 statistical cut-off level is what is genuinely absurd, according to
. Why not the league’s reduction to 20 team in 1996? Or 2005, when the handball rule was changed to honour intruders? Maybe we should begin a new set of data with the release of VAR in 2020 given that it is undoubtedly more important than the off-field adjustments of 1992.
Football’s attempts to mimic their historical value for both cricket and baseball are no longer comparable to English football. Next moment youre prepping another post about stats, I appeal to the writers of F365 to recall the centuries of history that the FA tried to charcoal off simply because the biggest clubs in the country wanted to keep all the income. I hope anyone noticed that when F365 called their mailbox the worst everI was not there when

View from the Palace
I really enjoyed the Saturday afternoon kickabout. A lot was said before the match from the Television group about Oliver Glasner being a director who loves glass events, having been successful in them at earlier clubs. I believe it’s more because managers are now aware that momentum moves between competitions for all clubs, but sacking a mug to concentrate on the league is ineffective.
Crystal Palace was suited to play away from Fulham; they sat up for 20 minutes or so barely getting a kick, but critically, not allowing too many chances for Dean Henderson to get too frustrated.
Next day these teams met Palace gained the upper hand after a refereeing choice went in their behalf, on that occasion a penalty shout was turned down, and Fulham were rattled by it the rest of the game, continually complaining to the officials about everything. Meanwhile, Place eventually won the game and continued playing. Here, something very similar occurred. Adam Wharton, on a yellow card, had a coming together with Rodrigo Muniz. It appeared small at first, and remembering the previous game, it appeared as though Muniz had eased up and continued to do so in an effort to give Wharton a second yellow. There was a small film on replay that might have ended Whartons ‘ afternoon, but in the end, Muniz’s overreaction was probably what won the official over.
About ten minutes later, the ball was played out to the left wing, Tyrick Mitchell nudged it on to Eberechi Eze, who scored a wonder goal. When Ismaila Sarr doubled the lead a few minutes later, he added an assist. Sarrs ‘ header demonstrated excellent technique, perfectly timing his run away from his marker and getting the ball’s final glance. Lucky it was set up for him and not someone with a 50p head.
Having a comfortable lead made it possible for Palace to rest in the second half, which also helped stop one Marco Silvas ‘ plans to force Adama Traore into a gap in the defense. Eddie Nketiah’s 3-0 victory over the Eagles put the game to bed on 75 minutes. Thats two rounds in a row hes scored after coming on as a substitute for Jean-Philippe Mateta, although thankfully these were better circumstances for that change this time around. In the first half of the season, Nketiah struggled for concentration because his main strength ( his ability to shoot from anywhere ) was also his biggest weakness ( he shot from anywhere rather than passing to a better-placed teammate ). Overall, the Palace has a lot of fun. Its great when you get a group of players who seem to enjoy playing together for your club, and this translates into results on the field. They just need to make sure they keep an eye on the ball in the league when they travel to Southampton tomorrow night and then when they travel home. Why is this a derby against Brighton on Saturday?
