The league is less competitive today than ever - Man City just became the first club to win four in a row.  

Man U may not have won 4 in a row, but between 92/3 and 00/01 they won 7 out of 9 and the two they didn't win they came 2nd by 1 point. They then came 3rd 3 times, 2nd 3 times and won another 6 in the next 12 years!

Can't wait for Saturday so we have football to talk about. I think positivity will come back in.

 

Some of the negativity (on twitter) in particular around the window is mental right now.

 

I think a bit of negativity is fine when it’s warranted and so far the window has been shite. That’s just the truth of the matter. However only takes a signing to change it

I feel like the league overall is pretty competitive, just not for the title. 

23/24 and 21/22 were won on the final day by very tight margins, one and two points, they were definitely competitive between the top two teams for the title.

 

I don’t think the competition for the title is less now than it was in the Man Utd then Chelsea eras (and I guess the Liverpool era before that)

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Yeah fair point, I guess I just always assume Man City will win it so it doesn’t feel as close as it is points-wise.

It felt less competitive in the 90's if I'm being honest, maybe that was just because I was a child, but you always felt Man Utd were going to win it (particularly 99-01). I think the dilution of the cup competitions has contributed to the feeling that there's fuck all for 18 teams to play for. Nobody cares about the League Cup (unless you're in it) and the FA cup is nowhere near what it was. Who won either cup the year Leicester won the league? Not a fucking clue without googling it.

To be fair I think most people couldn't tell you who won the CL the year Leicester won the league without googling it. You'd have to have a pretty good memory

28.5 is rather specific.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

28.6?

It's what they bought him for I think, so effectively saying anything which gives them a book profit they'd take.

The average Liverpool fan would probably say the only thing that stopped Klopp from winning at least two more titles was City’s rampant cheating.

Wolves, Fulham, Bournemouth etc have spent and will all spend before the end of the month making games against them more challenging

My logic might be far off here but wouldn’t they be more challenging for everyone, not just us? Wolves and Bournemouth have also lost their best players, doubt their fans see it as strenghtening. 

[andycap]

Bad craic this mind. 

Looks like it could be a deadline day scramble. Which sky sports will love.

I really hate that this is what football has come to.

The transfer window used to be an interesting way of passing the close season.  Now it’s all accountancy, maths and tedious bollocks. 

[Rocker]

I used to love everything about being a football supporter. It's now just the 90 mins. The rest is awful

I can easily see myself becoming one of those fans that doesn't know anything about the PL in general and only watched NUFC games. Maybe even only NUFC home games eventually :/

I’ve been there for years.
