Today’s Football 2021/22 Season

[blue to the bone]

That's a stupid competition

Don't watch so. Simples

I like the sport. I want it to be better because I like it. Surely you also like the sport and also want it to be better?

And they're all dumb. God forbid a football league have balance.

Yeh let's follow your dopey model over the ocean.

What like American sports where you have to go through playoffs to win the National title after going through a league season?

For its flaws at least every team has a path to being the best over time. How many teams can win the PL in the next ten years? Four?

You don't have to have playoffs to have competitive balance

And no team has any consequences for being utterly crap.

There is competitive balance, just 1-2 team gradually pull away from the rest later in the season. Football, especially doesn’t need to be changed, yet it’s almost always ‘customers’ who want it so because it’s too boring for them

That would be one of the flaws.

There isn't. The same teams are always pulling away.

And the pulling away later happens because of math, not because the teams weren't as dominant early on.

Only care about what Everton do really.
Rest I can take or leave

That's fair enough. I really love watching football and find it disappointing that often league games after about February don't decide the title all across Europe.

That’s how it’s been for decades, only on rare occasions do titles get decided on the final day

 

[Tin-Tin]

Come on Chelsea!

I'm not really on about that part though. More annoyed that we probably won't see anyone but City Chelsea United and the RS win a title before 2030.
