We want ten!

Not sure subbing an uninjured player after quarter of an hour helps anyone.
-
Tactical master stroke. They've not scored for at least five minutes.
-
Arsenal haven't scored for the last 7 minutes so it seems to have worked.
Edit: damn you Shady
Double edit: oops lol

I imagine on whatever the scum sucking blunts equivalent of talkback is, some tricky-a-like is currently typing "we've got them right where we want them".

And a "donnyblade" is being hailed as a visionary

Sheffield United are getting better because the interval between goals is increasing. At this rate of improvement they may only concede three more.
-
Arsenal already have the best goal difference of the top 3. They’ll see this as a chance to make it uncatchable and that could matter the way things are going.

Read 'em and weep boys. It's a clear sign that the 'strength of the english football pyramid' and 'no game in the 'ship can be taken for granted, anyone can beat anyone else' is well and truly on the way out.
If you are lucky you can climb your way back into the position of cannon fodder for the top clubs. If you aren't it's the spectre of gillingham away. Livin' the dream.

No it isn't. Arsenal are one of the best teams in the league, arguably in Europe. Sheffield United sold their best players when they got promoted and replaced them with shittier ones.
There has always been a disparity between the best teams in the league and the worst, and there always will be.
-
The bottom five clubs, combined, haven't won as many games (weeks) as have been played. That's less than a one in five chance of winning a game for a quarter of the league (on form currently standing at two of the last twenty-five games).
It is.
-
I think you are being swayed by the epic shitness of the two bottom teams this year (and as JA's post above observes, there have been much shitter in the past). The number of points required to stay up has remained pretty constant for a long time.
-
Five wins in the last forty games from the bottom eight?
Not sure who is being swayed by their preconceptions here.
-
You're taking a pretty small sample size to support your point though.
Over the course of the season so far the bottom 5 have taken 0.18 wins per game.
Go back a decade to the 2013/14 season and the bottom 5 took 0.21 wins per game, a difference of one win per team over the course of the entire season.
I'm not doing the maths for every season but I think you're starting from a position of being miserable about the Premier League and then cherrypicking numbers that justify it.
-
Only if, on your figures, you consider a 16% reduction in the strength of the bottom five statistically insignificant....and you are ruling out further deterioration.
