angelman Posted 2 August, 2018 Share Posted 2 August, 2018 The PL has an illusion of being competitive because 6 teams fight for 4 places. Other leagues often have 1 or 2. Some have 3. But that doesn't make it a level playing field as its 6 vs 14. It might be more level at the top for more teams, but the difference between the 6 and the 14 is huge. Everton tried to bridge the gap last season and failed dismally. Wet Spam seem to be doing it this season (I guess the benefit of having an unfair advantage with regards the stadium). I fully expect them to fail as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've hit their roof on wage budget after giving almost the whole team back to back new contracts the last 2 years. While they're a league above us in terms of budget they're still a long way short of the big clubs. They can't hold on to all their talent.

HKsaint Posted 3 August, 2018 Share Posted 3 August, 2018 Jay Rodriguez: West Brom reject Burnley's £16 millionoffer for the striker Do the Management need to attend any class on valuation? Jay Rod is not any better than a year before and West Brom got relegated. However, it is certain that West Brom will earn at least £4 million from sale of the striker. Mane is a classic example of undervaluation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Fry Posted 3 August, 2018 Share Posted 3 August, 2018 So Palace are the chosen ones this year then. Hmm.A real shame for them. As anyone with only a passing knowledge of this forum will be aware nothing can destroy a football club like the dreaded Glasgow Kiss of death. Season after season his annointed heroes go on to stink the effing place out. I can't remember them all but highlights would be Norwich winning the transfer window with Ricky Van Wolfswinkle - FAIL Stoke City will always be a level above SFC - FAIL Everton Everton Everton can do no wrong - FAIL The Watford Silva revolution - FAIL But In fairness to the lad I think he's on to something this season. Andros Townsend is truly world class, no doubt. Last season in the league Benteke scored goal after goal after goal. And all those three goals were vital. So don't panic, Palace fans. This time the Glasgow Kiss could be blessing and not the usual indication that your season is going straight down the sh it pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
