Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

[EA]

People are complaining b/c the teams just aren't very good. The fact that Leicster is on top is just laughable. This is one of Arsenal's worst teams in the last 10 years and yet this is their best chance to win it.

This isn't even close to being one of our worst teams

We legitimately fielded a squad with Denilson, Squillaci, Bendtner, Chamakh, Djourou and Eboue...

They have the lowest points total through the same amount of games

Maybe it's not the worst but there have been better Arsenal teams in the last 10 years who didn't come close to winning the title, yet they would probably win it this year.

The points total says more about how competitive the league has been this year since everybody has been taking points off each other. In the past, Arsenal have clearly been the 3rd/4th best team in the league but the gap between them and 5th-downwards was greater so they picked up more points.

This year is the closest we've ever been to parity in the EPL.

Lol that guy clearly hasn't seen us in previous seasons

This is one of our best of recent years tbh. Even though Rvp Fab Nasri etc side was prob better

 

[Piff Huxtable]

I dunno, if this team was completely healthy, I think I'd take Ozil, Sanchez, Cazorla, Ramsey & Giroud over the squad with RvP, Nasri, Cesc and Arshavin.

Spurs just won't lose man. I wanted a draw (arsenal fan) now they above us by GD

Add to that the fact that City haven't won back-to-back games in nearly 4 months and are still "serious title contenders"

This current United team is worse than Moyes's but is still in with an outside shot of making top 4

Leicester City and Spurs top of the table

People find this entertaining?

Premier League teams are gonna get blown out of the water in Champions League this season, and everybody is gonna be on some, "Why aren't English teams performing in Europe?"

People used to complain that the Prem was becoming too elitist when the Big Four held a monopoly over the league. Now that we're seeing different teams in the mix, people are still complaining. In my opinion, this is the most exciting season in ages.

No it doesn't bruh. It shows the mediocrity of the league. There are about 7-8 teams in Europe that would win the EPL this year easily. Bayern, RM, and Barca would get 100 points.
