Cancelling this season's Premier League

[GwladysBlue]

I don’t know why this has bothered me but it really has. Martin Tyler did a Top 12 Premier League moments, some of them including: Beckham scoring from his own half, Rooney’s overhead kick against Man City, Liverpool beating Man City 4-3 in their 100 point season and Tottenham leaving White Hart Lane, but there was no room in Everton, an almost constant in top-flight football, coming from 2-0 behind to beat Wimbledon to stay in the top division. Everton had been Champions of England only 7 years previous.

I just find it beyond pathetic, I really do. The bias Sky have for a small amount of clubs is truly sickening.

MOD did the 10 greatest premier league managers last night, it was what it said, managers specific to the premier league era only.

I don't how they achieved it but Liverpool and their zero premier league titles managed to have 3 candidates in there.

I think they done a podcast of top 10 best goalkeepers didn't they a couple of weeks back... No room for Southall of course.

It’s pathetic. I can’t stomach the media anymore. They can’t stand the thought of anyone else muscling in on their precious cartel.

Same with their 10 bestist PL goalies. Had a few that have not much more than a season in the league, but not a sign of a certain Southall. N.

I think actually you answer your own question there, Blue.

In the Sky era the only item of note for us in the league actually is Wimbledon Day.

That tells its own tale of the mediocrity that has engulfed this club for going on thirty years.

We are never involved in title races, never involved in big games of importance to anyone but ourselves, we hardly ever win a derby.

If we had in fact been involved in earth shattering games at the top of the table on a regular basis during the Sky period you can bet we would have been featured in that show you mention.

As it happens, I don’t think us escaping relegation on the last day of the season in 1994 rates a mention in the “top 12 Premier League” moments either

It was amazing thy given Liverpool have never won the premier league and United haven’t won it for 6 years now, more than 3/4 of the clips were about either of those clubs. Why is Liverpool beating City at home in a league game in a campaign when they came 4th a modern classic? May as well shove our 4-0 from the season before on there, it was certainly a better performance. I think Arsenal had about 2 moments, Chelsea had one which was Hazard scoring to give Leicester the title (Leicester had none themselves). So Newcastle’s 4 goal comeback didn’t make it, Chelsea’s first title in 50 years didn’t make it, Mourinho’s 95 points or Guardiola’s 100 points didn’t make it. Kompany v Leicester, or Hazard against Arsenal, no no none of them were as important to Martin as Liverpool’s home win over City.

I get what you’re saying but I think it certainly warrants a place in one of the iconic moments of the Premier League. Not all greatest moments have to be played out at the top of the table.

Imagine Man Utd surviving relegation on the last day of the season against somebody like Norwich at Old Trafford. It would 100% feature.

Andy Gray said the rs have been the best team in Europe for the last 2 years because they won the European cup, nothing about City winning the League or any other club.Switch sky on late last night all the footy games were the rs winning or teams losing that helped the rs.Unbelievable.

that could have been in there, if United or Liverpool ever came back from 2 goals down to stay in the league from half time with a thurnderbolt like Horne’s goal it would be immortalised. Rooney’s debut goal could have been in there, 16 year old prodigy ended Arsenal’s unbeaten run and launched amazing career. Jagielka’s volley, not that significant but probably the best goal scored by an opposing team at Anfield in absolutely ages. It’s certainly bet the r technique than Beckham just woofing it from. The halfway line and the keeper falling over.

Yes but that would have meant leaving out David James.

Like come on mate....

Id disagree there Khal,on that final day there were about 5 teams changing places throughout the day,it was tremendous drama,certainly one of the most nerve wracking last days

 

[Khalekan]

I suggested that was a sensible compromise weeks ago.

It is pure commonsense.

There is no way the TV companies and the PL are going to war over the issue of monies already paid in advance for this soon to be abandoned season.

The two entities are symbiotic.

They leech of each other.

Without the football Sky Sports and BT would be in crisis, they are already losing customers in droves during the lockdown.

Without the TV money the PL’s money tree is uprooted and many clubs will face extinction or at the very least, a return to the pre 1990s model of self sufficiency (the latter not a bad thing IMO).

They will arrive at a mutually necessary compromise deal.

I can understand Dalglish being in for winning it with Blackburn. But top 5 was ridiculous. Ranieri with Leicester for me was a far bigger achievement.

And for me Benitez should have been nowhere near it. They kept bigging up his CL win as a defence. But they put Carlo at 10 and said they could only consider actual PL performances (they were otherwise very complimentary tbf).

But if Benitez 1 CL can push him up the list then why were Ancelotti's 3 CL wins deemed irrelevant?

because one managed the club that pays all their subscription fees whilst the other currently manages the club that all their subscription fee payers hate.
