For gods sake.

Out of the 3 automatic possibles, Burnley are the one I don't want to do it.

Preston 0 Burnley 1 - Joey Barton massively deflected free kick.

SAKE B

That's the spirit

And...

Man City score because Stoke did not have a player on each post. Header from a corner placed just inside the post. A defender there would simply have cleared the ball. Will Managers NEVER learn...

I reckon there's a good chance they learnt years ago hence why they don't do it anymore.

Sakho failed a drugs test, according to Guardian live text on City match.

The wheels really have fallen of Stoke

All games he has played in this season should result in a 3-0 defeat.

Don't quite follow the logic and reasoning in the above...

Goes to show how bad Barton threw his career away when he is clearly too good for the championship yet thst was the only job he could get

Shouldn't that be Emptihad?

I reckon there's a good chance that most Premier League managers learnt along time ago that having 2 extra defenders marking attackers in the area results in conceding less goals from corners than by having 1 or 2 players on the post, hence why most don't do it anymore.

Given the amount of statistical analysis that goes on in the game these days i'd assume the above would be the reason for not having players on the post these days, rather then the fact that managers aren't learning.
