Arsenal last 3 away PL games...
West Ham 0 Arsenal 6 Burnley 0 Arsenal 5
Currently.. Sheff U 0 Arsenal 5 Brilliant first half from them. And sure the commentator said the Xg was only 1.8 ! yep. It's now 2.03 from 17 shots

I'm not someone who dismisses XG out of hand and recognise it as a probability tool but I do think it needs some work when disparities like this are happening.

Sheff U and Burnley have stunk the PL out this season, especially considering they romped the Championship last season.

Just had a ganders at the blades message board. Thread on there about their keeper, one poster asking whether the club checked to see if he had hands during his medical Being bottom of the premier league & getting hammered week in week out obviously doesn't compare to the pain of exiting the FL & sinking as low as the 6th tier but I do feel for their fans somewhat. Losing game after game with little to no fight is hard to take as a fan no matter what division you're in, It's usually tough for the teams coming up from the championship but I remember seeing in the summer that Sheff Utd only had a transfer budget of around 20 million & knew then that they'd go straight back down as whipping boys, they'll probably get more than that in parachute payments once relegated!

Another wasted talent, Rashford should be looking at how he has turned out Rashford's goal yesterday was a great strike but he disappeared after that, Foden absolutely bossed it he was unplayable and I can't wait to see him alongside Bellingham this summer.

Leicester and Burnley got over double that in the championship The gap between the two leagues is too much as this point and it's ruining the championship because of it

Bellingham & Foden are two of the best young players in the world right now, If they were any other nationality they'd be dead certs to start every game & have a team built around their talents but you just know Southgate will probably use Foden as a sub.

There’s a lot of money to be made as a yo-yo club. Don’t know what it must be like as a fan.

It'll be champagne football with Phillips and Henderson in midfield 😉

What the biggest worry could be is the premier league becoming a closed shop and clubs getting voted in and out of it like the old div.4 days. If teams just cannot compete at that level in anyway it gives ammunition to those who dislike relegation like yank owners as they have not been brought up to this.

Can't see that ever happening, it would make it even more boring than it already is.

The PL may be boring to us but cannot be for the thousands who turn up to watch as well as the armchair club. Be interested what the figures will be for our mk dons game against say a palace v forest PL televised tea time game. We go on about glory hunter fans, but for every one there is a lifelong fan of that club who are no different to us.

I don't think the PL is boring tbh.
Sheffield United getting walloped every week loses it's appeal quite quickly but then you don't watch them every week. I tend to watch a Monday night game and will try and catch the bigger Sunday games and I usually enjoy them.
I'm not particularly interested in the outcome of games, or clubs fortunes over the season (other than to hopefully see United and City flounder), but the football is usually very good. It's easy to pick out a dreary sounding fixture like Palace v Forest but for every game like that, there's plenty more that are entertaining.

I pick the games I want to watch. One thing I've noticed is the standard of lower league football has improved. Like us, but obviously the top league is of a higher standard.
