All because the smaller clubs are concerned about the bigger clubs' squad depth even though they don't play them every week.  

It's gonna be stupid when managers have to waste subs on injuries!

The funniest thing is it probably actually helps the smaller clubs more. The bottom half teams tend to have by in large a squad full of average players so no huge change if they have a few injures.

Take Burnley as an example, switch Lowton for Bardsley or Taylor for Pieters or Barnes for Rodriquez there's not a great deal of difference, out of the top eight only City and to an extent us have a second Xl that isn't a massive drop off from the first.

Scousers are the worse fans in the Prem followed by United and Arsenal.

Are Leeds better than the Sheffield United team that took the Premier League by storm? By Daniel Zeqiri   What constitutes a good return for Leeds United in their first season back in the Premier League? Would avoiding relegation qualify as a success or should Marcelo Bielsa's team have their sights fixed on a top-half finish? Sheffield United showed last season that a group of players with little Premier League experience can thrive on the strength of an engrained system and thorough coaching, and Leeds are tipped to emulate them. In fact, analysing both team's metrics in their Championship promotion seasons, there are grounds to argue that Leeds might be even better than the Sheffield United team that arrived in the top flight last August. Some might bristle at that claim, but it is worth remembering that Sheffield United were favourites to be relegated before last season and within 12 months are now considered an established Premier League team. Our evaluations can change quickly. Here I delve into the numbers and try to explain what all the excitement around Leeds is about.

You know who else is a moron? DT from AFTV.

Said that Arsenal will finish 4th, doesn’t rate Lampard as a coach and he wouldn’t able to handle the pressure with the new signings. Then every fan will turn on him. That’s RICH coming from him after what he and most Arsenal fans did with Emery.

That FA Cup final win has made their chests bigger.
 

If Lampard wants me to be fully behind him, PLEASE beat these Goonettes every time we face them this season.

can't stand that idiot, he talks shit most of the time, just look at his video when they signed Luiz.

After Ole and Jurgen, Jose joined this group. Loving it!

none of those twats were saying shit when we spent fuckall overall due to bans, etc

and we ALL play under the same FFP regs (except those cheating cunts Shitty)

[Vesper 27,315]

other than Havertz, we paid less for all our signings than Shitty paid for some fucking fullbacks

plus Manure (Maguire) and the dippers (VVD) paid huge money for a single player too

not to mention Manure and Pogba

and even spuds paid almost £60m for a box to box CMF (Tanguy Ndombélé)

And even with that there were reports he let go of his 10% transfer commission just to make the deal happen...

This Fulham XI looks pretty terrible. Even with Arse missing some key players they should comfortably win this.

These promoted sides are going to suffer the most without fans in the stands I think.
