The English league is still the most exciting in the world.
Season ain't over yet.

Whats predictable about it as that like any team that plays that way when they don't have the ball then they retreat into their own half with everybody behind the ball trying to stop the opposing side playing...

As far back as I can remember I've heard "pundits" saying that if you loose the ball a team should get between it and their goal.

Are you now suggesting there was a "golden age" when teams, having lost the ball, would still send players upfield into attacking positions on the off-chance?

[eduardo]

Have you heard of things like taking a chance, it's up to the home side to dictate the play etc etc.

It's not all down to percentages you know. Chelsea play this 4-5-1 better than anybody else only because they have the resources to get better players than the rest.

Thank fuck for Arsene Wenger saying people need to be entertained but when he says that he gets called naive. Why?

As I said before this is not a post by me blaming the ills of the Premiership on Chelseas shoulders. They are dull but then so are 7 or 8 other clubs.

Watching football is done through choice and I choose to be selective with the games that I watch now. I used to watch them all and take my son to Anfield.

Now I take him to Exeter and Plymouth as there's more excitement there.

When you see the way some the Premiership Teams perform in this competiiton you do wonder

As good as Grimsby are heading their division to beat an inform Tottenham
that included a decent contingent of experienced players 1-0 at home is bizarre

Aston Villa trailing 3-1 at half time come out to play and pile on 7 in a half

cheers
