Ben Posted yesterday at 08:04 Share Posted yesterday at 08:04 Personally I think we'll see a much more competitive premier league next season (apart from Sunderland of course they will be down by the time Santa comes) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on where you are but where I was, November to March was bleak. Probably not much different just the warmer weather was warmer. The colder weather was much colder though.

The problems wouldn’t be to do with “the frozen north” or Championship teams - much of their domestic opposition right now is basically Championship teams and you have to go a long way down in the English League before you hit anything clarty. Their wage bill is higher than anyone else for starters, somehow even Man City. The only question is over how they’d fare against serious competition week in and week out. They won the league by 19 points of course, but they only lost two games all season and those came in the last four games when the league was long won and they were presumably resting for the CL. Look at the battles Arsenal were facing every week - it clearly took its toll. It’s the double-edged sword of the Premier League. Tons of money, but the League has done arguably the best job in Europe of sharing it around. The teams have more money that most teams in Europe, but have to fight tooth and nail most weeks just to stay in some kind of contention. You could also factor in the physical demands of the Premier League’s work towards trying to account for timewasting (more minutes on the pitch) or instructing refs to let the game flow. That said, I checked the minutes played this season. No PSG player has played more than Pedro Porro (4130 minutes) but two have played more than 4000 minutes, which surprised me a bit. However, Saliba at Arsenal has racked up nearly 4500 minutes, and Bruno Fernandes nearly 5000. Almost all against teams who are better than his. That’s got to take more toll than putting 6 past Montpellier or Saint Etienne. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted yesterday at 09:48 Share Posted yesterday at 09:48 12 hours ago, Ikon said: Get some more technical ability in our team and focus on improving our control in possession and we can become a similar team to PSG. They play my kind of football, intense, pressing, transitions as well as being able to control games when needed. I don’t think you can make it to the top without a very very high ceiling of technical ability, especially not consistently. Yeah I really liked how they combined the press with some wonderful ability to retain possession through precision football on the floor. It's not that far of what Eddie is trying to do IMO, but obviously they have a higher calibre of players to work with. It's the diametric opposite of the hoofball Pards used to implement here.

M4 Posted yesterday at 10:42 Share Posted yesterday at 10:42 The rioting will have little to do with football though unfortunately. A bit of a traditional sport really, especially in the Paris area.

A bit of a traditional sport really, especially in the Paris area. Just good that they won so that it wasn't worse. It is down to the football though. The police had prepared for it, and many of the rioters were wearing PSG tops. It was also only limited to Paris, and not elsewhere in France, so it wasn’t even one of the nationwide riots the French are known for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every country and every team has its cunts following them, but the double standards are infuriating sometimes. Not least when you see the appalling way English fans (and others) are treated by the authorities on a regular basis including…the CL final Paris in 2022.
