Some strange results of late.
London Clubs who are struggling just happen to beat other London Clubs that are riding high.
United and Liverpool can't beat the likes of Bournemouth at home (Real Coupon Busters!!!)
How **** is our Premier League?!
Is something rotten in the State of Denmark?

Re: Is something rotten in the State of Denmark?
I would suggest it's better, in a certain way,
the Influx of TV, has, for a while at least levelled the playing field. Lukaku plays for Everton. Bony sits on the bench at Stoke, Bournmouth spent how many millions? We spent 15m+ on Irish internationals. Over the course of the season, the bigger teams still win out, but on an individual game anyone can win,
Also makes coaches, systems and good for us, team spirit, far more important.
Where it could make it worse is that, as it's so competitive, you can't really stick to "principles" Barcelona can play fancy football and throw one in on occasion, the worst they'll finish is probably third, it gives them freedom to express themselves.

Being half-Danish, this title got my attention. Like my mother says, there used to be, but it upped and came to Canada. (She's not familiar with Shakespeare.)

Re: Is something rotten in the State of Denmark?
It just happens to be a little competitive at the moment, don't worry though that phase will pass.
Just means you'll have to tolerate the media / pundits calling it the greatest league in the world with more vigour.

Re: Is something rotten in the State of Denmark?
I'm pretty sure Denmark is no longer a state but a caliphate, or so I'm told.
Anyway, there nothing wrong. Palace ate on shithot form right now, that's all. It's better to have a competitive league than to have something like La liga or the German top flight. (autocorrect offered no assistance in the spelling of that one)

The German top flight is an absolute joke, although I did enjoy watching Hoffenheim beat Bayern last week. And Hoffenheim aren't even a real club.

Only just noticed that the "Bad Word Police" took out my original word which was "b e n t"
Are teams on the take? Would we know even if they were?
