Do not care what anyone says the PL being the best league in the world is massively over played, this season has been nothing short of pathetic in terms of quality from the so called best league in the world...Just look at this afternoon....City v United, that was as bland and boring as it comes with two team who have regressed massively and that is without talking about how far we have fallen

Don't think it has helped things have been decided quite early on. League was pretty much over by what Jan/Feb? Bottom 3 also over quite soon. No last day drama in regards to any of that

All left to play for is 4th.

Exactly my point, how teams have seemingly given up, quality is shite, so called top class players being bang average..it's boring and lifeless

Gary Neville on SKY is saying what I am.....Players scared of losing and being micro managed to an inch of their lives because managers are scared to death to lose and too focused on shape instead of taking risks and playing with a freedom, this is the whole league apart from Liverpool, even City are scared.

Been the case for years. Technical and tactical side of the PL has always been overhyped. Look at how many big players leave the PL to go to Spain or whatever and say that its purely only more difficult physically. 

Simply put, if you want to watch good football, don’t watch the big games in the PL. All these Pep disciples/wanna be’s like Arteta, Maresca etc are also a big reason as to why PL football is getting poorer too.

Everything is so predictable, so robotic, so boring… they’d sooner see their teams pass the ball backwards and sideways for 90 minutes because ultimately their philosophy is more important than winning - or it seems that way. Or have fullbacks inverting to give them a box midfield and then their wide men are crossing the ball to one maybe two guy’s in the box because their fulbacks are playing as number 6/8s, they have midfielders who don’t really break into the box and their wingers are doing what their fullbacks would of done in the past instead of coming and getting in the box….. 

The young guy at Brighton and (pains me to say it) Arne Slot have both been a breath of fresh air in terms of philosophy/style of football IMO. Possession orientated still but quick attacking play and huge emphasis on attacking transitions at most opportunities. Even Forest this season, sort of throwback playing a low block but a hugely effective attacking transition with Elanga, Hudso-Odoi, MGW etc. Ange also last season was a breath of fresh air for the PL with his fullbacks as number 10s effectively (different from what he did at Celtic) although now Spuds and him are getting pasted left right and centre 😂

50m bid incoming from BlueCo no doubt

 

How bad is the standard of the top and bottom teams in the PL though wow. Sheffield and Leicester both been absolutely pathetic and rightfully relegated - like two of the worst sides I’ve seen in recent years.

Then throw in how bad us, Spurs, Man United, Man City have all looked too at times this season it is absolutely incredible 😂
