Is the Premier league

Post by Deathtrip » Fri Aug 22, 2025 8:55 pm

Weak this season 11 games in and it looks like some poor sides other than the promoted 3,West Ham and Wolves are shocking I'm looking at us staying up this season,we might finish 17th place but I'll take it.
It gives us all hope watching West Ham and Wolves

Not forgetting how dire Everton were on Monday…early days yet and we have to hope we get off to a decent start ourselves and not play catch up

Both Sunderland and Leeds have a win, we need to do the same.

West Ham look s***e but they’ve probably 7 or 8 players who’d start for us. Shows the scale of the task.

I thought the same. Obviously it’s early days yet but it is good to see.

I just hope we can get our best players on the pitch asap. The line-up against Spurs was depressing to see pre-match

The top end of the PL is like watching a different sport especially when they play each other

Looks like Everton are starting to splash the cash a bit. Tyler Dibling for £42m and supposedly £26m on Christantus Uche.

I know that bus can be “parked “ effectively and also used for “throwing people under” , but actually having the bus “ thrown “ at us could make things bl00dy tricky !
Joking aside your point is a good one , the dark arts and money go hand in hand .

No it's not weak. There isn't a stronger league in Europe top to bottom. It's hard as nails.
