Today’s Football 25/26 Season

8 English games
2 wins, 2 draws, 4 defeats two of which were drubbings and a third to a 3rd Tier European League.

A perfect example of how dire English football is this season. Play football and you will probably beat the Anti-Football on offer

I mean it's just every season though isn't it? Fundamentally, at this point in the season teams in Spain, France and Germany can afford to rest players as their leagues are rubbish and they've basically already won. While in the PL literally every game matters, and you'll be punished by anyone (Wolves vs Liverpool). We also don't have that winter break and have a couple of cup competitions people actually care quite a lot about.

I think football fans can't have it both ways. We can't be (rightfully imo) delighted with the standard of the league (it's not a two team league thankfully) and the fact we don't have stupid winter breaks, while also criticising the standard of english teams in europe.

Shall we start allowing european teams to have extra days rests by playing games on Friday nights like PSG do. Or essentially allowing teams to boycott FA Cups like Man U used to do.

I think we overestimate how good we are. Just because there's loads of money in the league doesn't make it the best necessarily. Any player would take Madrid or Barca over a prem club. Overpayment for average players isn't a path to success as we know. City odds on at Madrid is just stupid
