What needs to be mentioned about Wolves is that their start is probably the hardest start in the premier league this season. It only really lets up in November. Arsenal (A), Chelsea, Forest (A) Newcastle, Villa (A), Liverpool, Brentford (A) City, & Brighton (A) is a pretty brutal start
Wolves fan here! And yes, I'd say that it's a rough start for us Wanderers. However, my critique is really just being unable to replace Max. A consistent defender that helps keep our backline solid since we park the bus during the second half. Now, with the frankly more inconsistent Toti Gomes and Mosquera behind, it's not as easy yo break play, and yes. Semedo and Rayan lack the defensive consistency since we always get exploited from both our flanks. We've lost to a cross and a shot on goal multiple times since we allow them to roam too freely.
If you can't beat a quarter of the league then you shouldn't be in that league, simple as. One day Wolves will get relegated because they will have only stayed up out of beating the bottom 5 and mid-table teams, but never those above.
Fulham are kind of a yo-yo club. They spent half of the 2010's in the championship and on two separate occasions during that period they were relegated the season straight after promotion.
Don't see the correlation between the crap teams near the bottom not winning yet and being the worst season? I'd say the worst season was when Leicester actually won it.. everyone else was dire.
Couple years back Fulham and Sheffield both finished in the top half, not to mention Villa. People just have recency bias and can’t think back past last season
@@Flash4MLPlus it's still early to do this. Southampton are about to sack Martin and Leicester should improve, Ipswich are a well drilled side who probably just need a win for confidence. The three promoted sides this season are night and day better than last seasons.
Yeah I like how he mentioned Ipswich but ignored that Luton getting promoted was also a massive shock. I guess things look horrible if you look at like the last 16 months
I find the Bundesliga more entertaining the last 3 seasons. Anyone can beat anyone, Bayern can even lose twice 1:5 to Frankfurt. A lot of goals and crazy match sequences every matchday. Like Dortmund turning a 0:2 into a 4:2 today. The Bundesliga is pure football. Plus every season one or two new surprises like Union Berlin or Heidenheim or even Stuttgart who almost got relegated and finished ahead of Bayern last season.

Wasnt nottingham forest out of the premier for like 20 years? And wasnt brentford in the lower devisions all their history until a few years ago? And wasnt Villa in the championship for a few years?
wolves have had one of the worst run of fixtures to start the season in recent years; we play 5 of the top 6 in the first 8 matches and significant top 10 contenders until november. much of the fanbase was expecting very little from the start but doesn’t make it any less demoralizing lol
I respectfully disagree. Ask any Luton fan if they would sacrifice their season in the EPL and competing with some of the biggest clubs in world football. I don't think any would.
Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest, Brentford and Fulham in the last few years all say otherwise The likes of Brighton and Wolves even further back have also been brilliant in the prem
As a Cov fan who remembers the "glory days" of the late 90s, the more I see about the prem, the less I want to be in that league. The gap is just growing too big now and frankly I'd rather take an exciting championship over a thumping most weeks and scraping out draws anyday. Personally I think Everton will finally come down, they've been flirting with it for years. I also hope that Ipswich manage to stay up.
Because of the inflation, the lower teams can only really afford a few good signings. They cant afford them to underperform. It is possible to move up, but you need the modern scouting system that clubs like Brighton have implemented
As a Wolves fan, I gotta admit its been bleak. I hope youre right about us just needing to find form but with CB Yerson Mosquera gwtting a season ending injury and Fosun not wanting to put money into the market, I'm not optimistic
This seems to happen in different leagues as well. I'm from Germany, and here everybody is also complaining about the lack of quality and the rising amount of "small" clubs in the Bundesliga , while the traditional clubs get relegated...
Probably you don't watch polish league, but I would like to see your video about Wisła Kraków, second best polish football club in history, but now they have been in second division for three seasons and now they're on bottom of the league.
I feel like this is more of a hitc seven territory, but I can't help but think that at some point during research Archie will get to the conclusion that they're just exaggerating for shock value 😂 Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think we're the only ones who pay this much attention to a club stuck in the second division. Not even the Germans with HSV, not even the Brazilians with Santos. Whatever shit is happening at Wisła, everyone is talking about it, it's as if the entire Polish Football Universe stops just so everyone can see what's going on at Wisła Kraków
I've said for a while, the usual bottom six of the PL, are more likely no better then those in the Championship. With the only reason they're above the playing field in regards to having a few top tier quality players that are arguably too good for the Championship. Take those away, and they're no more good then a top six Championship side. Where that gap will keep growing, is when that becomes more and more. Look at Forest. They had to basically buy a whole new squad. Now, they're looking like a well built squad. The same you could argue with Brentford, Bournemouth, Fulham. With the money, and how they're set up, if they ever went down, you feel like they'd be fine in regards to coming back up. I feel like we've gone from surprise packages, to now, teams will take a few years possibly, in order to try to establish themselves as a PL team.
Disagree, the promoted teams are way better than last season. Burnley and Sheffield were awful. I think they promoted teams have been unlucky with fixtures
@@MrEverton1878They'll be fine if they stay up. Will they stay up? It's hard to see that happening rn. Even with the takeover, I don't see January being enough. At the same time I can 100% see a 32 point survival season
PSR did this. No competion at the bottom or middle due to restrictions on investments. Don't worry, we'll see more prime players go to Saudi for generational wealth. The Prem has capped themselves. What a shame.
No PSR is actually helping smaller clubs. Imagine the top 6 and including Newcastle spending endless money. That is 14 matches in a season for small clubs trying to not lose.
Removing PSR just means that it's owner lottery, which everyone hated and is exactly the reason PSR and FFP were brought in to begin with. It's a terrible idea.
Epl getting more hard to stay in because there are a lot more staple clubs at the top; Traditional big 4, now your have Spurs, City and Newcastle. That's 7 spots covered and then your have challengers like Brighton and Villa, 9 spots taken. And the more clubs with spending power means a newly promoted club have 18 fixtures that considered extremely difficult and almost guarantee lost. Thats why FFP needs to be fine tuned to stop these clubs for furthering solidifying their league positions.
i’m a southampton fan and it’s been incredibly frustrating since 2015 because we’ll get talented players that come up through the academy and then liverpool, man u, etc will poach them instantly 15-16 we had an incredible season with mane, van dijk, and more and the very next year we sold them all off and went from a 5th place club to a relegation club where we’ve been ever since.
There is too much of a gap between like top 8-9 and the rest of the league, what you generally see if occasionally a well run club has a good season, good recruitment and pokes into the top 6/7 (Saints a long while back, Leicester, more recently Brighton, Villa etc.) and they tend to then get picked apart and have to keep getting their recruitment right. But generally the top 8 is pretty predictable and everyone else is basically fighting to not get relegated and they have to spend millions upon millions to do that and it becomes harder and harder to find gem players that might make a difference because even the big clubs are now buying 18-20 year olds for £40 million and will just shove them on the bench (look at Chelsea) so it is hard for a middle to lower club to find 2-3 difference makers to push them up the table and even if they do find some talent it gets taken away from them so quickly. 15-20 years ago if a club had a really talented player you'd be able to hold on to them for like 3-4 maybe even more seasons, now it is one season most of the time, if not less, like look at Dibling, the guy has made like 5 appearances and they already talking about Jan moves. It's really tough to establish yourself as a team if your best talents get plucked instantly and even gamble players from other european leagues cost £30-40 million a go for like one good season. The money is just off the charts and it makes top football just so boring imo, like it you don't support like the top 3-4 teams then you have little to look forward to, even if your team has a good season it will get picked apart in the summer and those players are gone, you can get no affinity to players or see your club build a special team, it's just who can spend the most on transfers and wages. PSR just makes it worse, just means your owner who want to invest to catch smaller clubs up to bigger clubs aren't allowed to.
Everyone keeps talking about how all promoted teams got relegated last season but nobody's talking about how none of the promoted teams got relegated the year before Forest, Bournemouth, and Fulham all did excellently in their first year back
1:43 well you don't need to worry about luton coming back up to replace the relegated teams unless we find a less sexy manager with a bit more ball knowledge
Controversial but I think it is to early to say that a gap is growing between the Championship and Premier League. Yes I know that the 3 newly promoted teams went down quite easily last season but they were awful (exept Luton) Sheff Utd and Burnley's squad were better in the Championship! So I don't know what they were playing at there!! But people forget that only about a year ago ALL three promoted teams stayed up quite comfortably, Liverpool failed to beat all three away from home! So personally I think it's too early to say that a gap is growing between the Championship and Premier League but let's see!!
Honestly Everton fans staying for this long has got to be the worst decisions you have ever made because now Leeds fans actually have optimism once they get promoted compared to Evertonians who suffer every season trying to stay up its like looking at a decay corpse who refuses to die i dont think there is way u guys can honestly recover from staying in the prem
Being a Southampton fan, it’s frustrating watching how we play. We spend so much money on okay players (excluding Ramsdale of course) the top players we have had this season are Dibling, Ramsdale and surprisingly, Lallana. I know we will probably be there next season but I do miss the championship already. The class difference between the two leagues now is ridiculous and just frustrating being a supporter of a club who’s now into that “yoyo” category
I've always loved Ipswich's badge,I think it's from when I got Panini sticker albums when I was a kid and the team badges would have gold or silver backgrounds and make the Ipswich badge look particularly awesome. Palace selling that phenomenal player who's name I've forgot to Bayern has really not helped their situation.
I think that the Championship teams have been improving in terms of attracting significant talents from other leagues exemplified by Burnley's recent spendings. However, i believe the Premier League teams still hold a substantial advantage, as even a mid-table team can secure top players from various leagues it feels like.
Sorry guys to ask, I didn't finished the video as I'm writing this comment yet, but the graph showed at 1:20 is showing a prize money gap of about 87 Million Pounds between the winner of the Championship (Wolves) and the last placed ,relegated, Premier League team (WB); This means that the PL, as a parachute, gave those 94M Pounds to the LAST placed team? Like if this are real data's, this mean that the "weakest" Premier League team, or the bottom clubs that just got relegated, would have a lot more money (by far) than the majority of the remaining top 4 major european leagues clubs solely by placement prizes? This means relegated teams from PL benefit from the rich parachute, and the "new" promoted clubs to the PL with no more than 10M pounds are more likely to swap position every year creating an everfed and everending circle. Am I tripping or is there an economy wall that prevents lot's of clubs to grow?
So when it looks like the three promoted clubs are significantly worse than the rest, you complain. BUT ALSO, when it looks like there are a lot of other clubs who look like they may go down as well as the newly promoted clubs, you STILL complain. What do you want? Not every club can be winning matches
@@kirancannon6360I suppose this is due to you being the exclusive point group allowing you to go every away game , we've started well but certainly wouldn't say I'm loving it yet
West Brom no longer have parachute payments and are 15th in transfer spending this season. Being top at the moment is an overachievement, see how it goes.
Lets not forget the season before last Fulham, Bournemouth, and Forest went up, stayed up and are all still in the prem. As a promoted team that has to be what to strive for but in the case of forest it does seem to depend on risking it all and spending a fortune
Eyo, I just wanted to say i appreciate your uploads. I always enjoy your rant and football history videos. I swear you honestly deserve a lot more subs than you have.
I just want to see Leicester playing well again. Their play has been so messy for a couple seasons with a lack of build up play and shocking defending. I'm not asking for top of the table but we should be able to compete for at the very least mid table.
I have never loved my Forest as much as when we were in L1. We had terrible players, and worse managers at times, but it was exciting and raw. Obviously I'm loving life atm, but if we went down I wouldn't cry. More local derbys, cheaper tickets, better refs(?), more exciting football...the list goes on. Plus, we have a fantastic owner. Good hunting Clarets.
We have the hardest start in the premier league (this season) played well and havent had the luck to finish the games. Im not happy with the start but when ur playing 5 out of the top 6 in the 1st 8 games, u are bound to be bottom of the league. We sold Neto (plays 1/2 of the games at best due to injury). Sold Kilman for a good amount but we didnt really replace them due our owners not wanting to show any bit of ambition. Just hoping VAR is kind to us this season otherwise it is going to be a dreadful season to watch. I miss Jimenez, Jota, Neves and Nuno times, life was great during that. Covid stopped Chinese investment so Fosun stopped investing and now we have to watch Villa fly high while we kiss the bottom of the league.
Branthwaite is back and Everton win, what a surprise. So infuriating that we lost so many points so far because he wasn’t there and Keane was in defence instead. That being said, with the takeover being sorted, the new stadium nearly done and key players back - it could start to settle down. If you look at our goals so far, you’d be surprised, we’re scoring more than you think. You’re completely right with the full back situation though, dire options.
At Southampton at least we have Tyler Dibling who looks like the second coming of Jack Grealish. Though your not wrong about the goal scoring problem though Archer might be turning a corner and Stewart could recapture his sunderland form if he manages to stay fit. Its hard to say its worse, it could be more even than last season with the bottom 3 being of better quality than the bottom 3 of last season which has led to more teams at this point having rather small points tallies.
Ipswich are 3 games unbeaten. How long does it usually take for a newly promoted team to go 3 unbeaten? Sheffield United didnt do it all last season, and Burnley it took till the last few weeks. Ipswich will slowly grow and be quite comfortably away from relegation as the new 12 players gel.
Can’t lie bro your the best football UA-cam channel about the depth and research you put into your videos are insane and I appreciate the workrate it doesn’t go unnoticed fr, I’m wolves season ticket holder and hoping we can turn it around this season, hopefully you’d be able to cover us abit more over the season but other than that continue your content bro you soon reach the 🔝 💯
Same in other leagues. Teams promoted to the Bundesliga are rooted to the bottom without a win (which often happens) and that's a league that gets most things right. Solution could be create a Premier League 2 and split the money 40 ways from TV. Won't happen though.
We have the problem!! But what is the solution?? The PL bing most popular, its success is giving it the huge money, so the gap with other europen clubs and EFL is bound to happen... by trend the gap will only increase with people gravitating towards major team with superstars insteaad of local teams. Whats the solution? -Is taking money earned righfully by PL and distributing it down pyramid in massive amounts the solution?? Or is there a better one???
Yes Everton will be comfortably safe lots of upcoming games that are winnable with a good squad. This guy doesn’t know shit but Tbf I would look at Everton the same way
in theory it looks this way but in reality palace and wolves have been fine, they’ve obviously not been great but they’ve done alright. As a liverpool fan who’s loving slot ball so far, wolves was our hardest game so far and that includes games against united, milan and forest. Wolves had an argument where they should’ve beat us this weekend they dominated so much of the ball and they’re the first team to outplay our midfield it’s just they didn’t have a finisher in their team and couldn’t get it to hwang in the last 20 cus we solidified, we lost to forest but that was a wonder goal and we created more chances against them, united was our easiest game no joke then milan was easy after 20 minutes so fair play to wolves they’ve just had an awful run of fixtures. Then onto palace they’ve just been unlucky like they have good players it’ll click again soon they’re just unlucky like eze should’ve scored 2 against united
Crystal Palace will be fine imo but i think City are gunna go after Wharton in January they'll compete for the Premier League without Rodri but if they wanna win the UCL their gunna need a replacement i expect them to go after Wharton Bruno G or Zubimendi
For me, if brendford wins against ManUtd, or Wolves beats Chelsea something is very wrong. I very much prefer the same teams in the top 7, 8 like it was the case years ago when football was actually enjoyable to watch. Of course if you have one or two unicorns that go into top 5 it does make it more realistic, but if Sheffield Utd is becoming capable at any time of beating top teams in the table something is wrong. And talking about the "evergrowing gap", probably forget about Chelsea beating Wigan or Villa by 8 goals. And for sure other big teams demolished smaller teams in the past too. Not having, the gap is abnormal.
Peak Southampton finishing Top 6 with a winning mentality which run throughout the club. We sold our best players and recruited poorly and we have struggled since. Club has had 2 new owners since those days, the Chinese owner didn't spend anything and then sport Republic came in and made so many questionable decisions. You could make a great video on Southampton. Russell Martin is questionable and I'm not sure he's premier league level.
Charlie Taylor and Bednarek are solid players for us they should start because of the years of experience they have at this level that's what will send us down just playing the 'talented' kids who will leave when we do 15:11
I think the bottom few teams are some of the weakest but the top half is very competetive. Assuming Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool are the title challengers which btw is more competetive than Man Utd winning it all the time with the odd Wenger Arsenal team stopping them doing what Bayern or Juventus have done in their leagues, the battle for 4th (maybe 5th too if coefficient is high enough) is between at least 5 teams and arguably 7. 4th to around 10th could be anything
In all honesty i havent felt the motivation to watch the EPL. As an American the games are always in the morning. Used to be very excited to wake up and watch. Not the case this season, ive lost the care to wake up early and watch EPL. Quite unfortunate since i love this sport.
I've had to watch Wolves a lot this season, and... yeah, I dunno. Cunha is great. Any team should want that guy. But I don't see much coherence, especially defensively. They almost mirror Leicester two years ago, where they look fine on paper, but a keeper getting older and losing key defense left them just a bit too vulnerable for too long. We'll see though, Wolves always have a funny way of showing up as a brand new team in January.
The blatant disregard from the media about promoted teams because of last years promoted teams being shocking is really infuriating from an Ipswich fan especially as yes we haven't won but we started against Liverpool and city then are unbeaten in theee yes without win but a home draw to fulham followed by two points on the road against Brighton and Southampton is a much better start than any promoted team last year
As an Everton fan, there genuinely so much that can be pulled from the current squad, dyche just doesn’t have good starting XL’s and has awful game management, can’t effectively sub and relies on old players who time and time again don’t prove themselves, I think a moyes type of coach keeps us up, but are we really in the position to sack? We’d have to make a decision before sacking dyche..
My predictions for Premier League teams to get relegated this season are Wolves, Southampton, and Ipswich Town. Everton will barely scrape by away from getting relegated 17th spot for sure.
The gap between champipnship and Prem is getting bigger. But i dont really find it weird that the big clubs in the last 10-15 years are high in the championship table. The Plynouths, Hull, Cardiff etc aint supposed to be top of the league. The big clubs with ambition is naturally in the top 6, and thats not cause of Prem money.
Funny Fact with West Ham,Brighton, Aston Villa and New Castle playin European competitions The league growing in to a big 10 instead instead of Big six. Even if those 4 teams are small because of the history of the big 6 EPL is just ridiculous. Even if spanish teams kind of won most big European competitions we have this EPL before GTA 6
Why did he talk about last season for Palace but not Everton, when they earnt 1 more point last season and I believe now have earnt the same amount of points as Everton since Glasner has came in (thatcould be wrong though). We have an awful squad but Sean Dyche will pull us through again
If teams like Luton & Ipswich don’t splash the money they make from there success it’s great. The Top end of the premier league has been a one or two horse race but I think them times are behind as they are ahead but it’s as they should be for the most part it’s good to see Fulham for example looking good this season.
I mean the best way to “change that” would be for these clubs to use the obscene amount of money they get when they get promoted more wisely. I realize this comment is basically just a form of saying “they just have to git gud” But if you look at the transfer records of many of these clubs, for example, Sheffield selling their best player after getting promoted, that’s not a systemic championship/prem gap issue That’s an issue of the club in question making terrible moves. It would be foolish to deny that there is a wealth inequality problem in the Premier league and in the game as a whole, but it would be equally foolish to absolve any of these yo-yo clubs of their share of the blame.
Palace fan here... Our preparation for this season was messed up due to international games, Wharton came back not the same player at the age of 20 he played nearly every minute of last season, Guehi has taken some time to get going with a new look defensive partners, Doucoure has had bad luck with injury Mateta is burnt out with only a few days rest between the Olympics and the Prem start, his mind and will wants to play but his body is saying no after 40mins. Then there's the Kamada conundrum, we signed him as a 10 and maybe with the option of versatility, the problem being he's physically not up to the CM role, plus he's learning a new language on top of learning the league. Add to that we bought Nketiah for a price that demands play time, he's been taking that role with Kamada and Sarr vying for the position. It'll click eventually but we need to support our team which is what we're for at the end of the day! 🦅

Where that gap will keep growing, is when that becomes more and more. Look at Forest. They had to basically buy a whole new squad. Now, they're looking like a well built squad. The same you could argue with Brentford, Bournemouth, Fulham. With the money, and how they're set up, if they ever went down, you feel like they'd be fine in regards to coming back up.
I feel like we've gone from surprise packages, to now, teams will take a few years possibly, in order to try to establish themselves as a PL team.
Disagree, the promoted teams are way better than last season. Burnley and Sheffield were awful.
I think they promoted teams have been unlucky with fixtures
What a statement, if you take out the top players from Arsenal they will also become a championship team 😂
Surely Everton will be relegated this season but by some miracle they will survive.
I think this genuinely is the season that it's too late for them
No chance. And ownership changing too. Bottom 6 3 seasons off hell be over.
Next season.
Next
Nope they will be here next season
@@MrEverton1878do u not worry that the damage could be too late to repair since the main summer transfer window is done and u end up going down.
@@MrEverton1878They'll be fine if they stay up. Will they stay up? It's hard to see that happening rn. Even with the takeover, I don't see January being enough.
At the same time I can 100% see a 32 point survival season
“I’m very grateful I’m out of that league” shocking statement acting like Plymouth away is better than any premier league team is super egregious 😅😅😅😅
Sadly it’s all about stats now & who has the best numbers.
According to who? You?
PSR did this. No competion at the bottom or middle due to restrictions on investments. Don't worry, we'll see more prime players go to Saudi for generational wealth. The Prem has capped themselves. What a shame.
@@brianb3854 that’s why I think it’s pointless getting promoted
Who knew a presumed solution to prevent another Manchester city situation would royally backfire like this.
No PSR is actually helping smaller clubs. Imagine the top 6 and including Newcastle spending endless money. That is 14 matches in a season for small clubs trying to not lose.
Removing PSR just means that it's owner lottery, which everyone hated and is exactly the reason PSR and FFP were brought in to begin with. It's a terrible idea.
@@Cream147player it’s was mainly brought in to protect the cartel clubs like Man United, Liverpool and Arsenal
Epl getting more hard to stay in because there are a lot more staple clubs at the top; Traditional big 4, now your have Spurs, City and Newcastle. That's 7 spots covered and then your have challengers like Brighton and Villa, 9 spots taken. And the more clubs with spending power means a newly promoted club have 18 fixtures that considered extremely difficult and almost guarantee lost.
Thats why FFP needs to be fine tuned to stop these clubs for furthering solidifying their league positions.
The background music you use in your videos never miss. Beg you put them in the description so I can just bump these tunes while working
1:17 as I said 10 years ago and more, Premier League is destroying the football
Liam you came in clutch with my meal😅
Just cooked my meal now too pal, enjoy!
@@Vizeheating some Pierogi yeee
i’m a southampton fan and it’s been incredibly frustrating since 2015 because we’ll get talented players that come up through the academy and then liverpool, man u, etc will poach them instantly
15-16 we had an incredible season with mane, van dijk, and more and the very next year we sold them all off and went from a 5th place club to a relegation club where we’ve been ever since.
There is too much of a gap between like top 8-9 and the rest of the league, what you generally see if occasionally a well run club has a good season, good recruitment and pokes into the top 6/7 (Saints a long while back, Leicester, more recently Brighton, Villa etc.) and they tend to then get picked apart and have to keep getting their recruitment right. But generally the top 8 is pretty predictable and everyone else is basically fighting to not get relegated and they have to spend millions upon millions to do that and it becomes harder and harder to find gem players that might make a difference because even the big clubs are now buying 18-20 year olds for £40 million and will just shove them on the bench (look at Chelsea) so it is hard for a middle to lower club to find 2-3 difference makers to push them up the table and even if they do find some talent it gets taken away from them so quickly. 15-20 years ago if a club had a really talented player you'd be able to hold on to them for like 3-4 maybe even more seasons, now it is one season most of the time, if not less, like look at Dibling, the guy has made like 5 appearances and they already talking about Jan moves. It's really tough to establish yourself as a team if your best talents get plucked instantly and even gamble players from other european leagues cost £30-40 million a go for like one good season. The money is just off the charts and it makes top football just so boring imo, like it you don't support like the top 3-4 teams then you have little to look forward to, even if your team has a good season it will get picked apart in the summer and those players are gone, you can get no affinity to players or see your club build a special team, it's just who can spend the most on transfers and wages. PSR just makes it worse, just means your owner who want to invest to catch smaller clubs up to bigger clubs aren't allowed to.
I think brentford are a massive outlier for this as they had never been in the prem and are now an established mid table team
Everyone keeps talking about how all promoted teams got relegated last season but nobody's talking about how none of the promoted teams got relegated the year before
Forest, Bournemouth, and Fulham all did excellently in their first year back
1:43 well you don't need to worry about luton coming back up to replace the relegated teams unless we find a less sexy manager with a bit more ball knowledge
Relegation battle this season finna be heated
As a Derby fan I’m seeing potential contenders for our crazy PL record 😂
Controversial but I think it is to early to say that a gap is growing between the Championship and Premier League. Yes I know that the 3 newly promoted teams went down quite easily last season but they were awful (exept Luton) Sheff Utd and Burnley's squad were better in the Championship! So I don't know what they were playing at there!! But people forget that only about a year ago ALL three promoted teams stayed up quite comfortably, Liverpool failed to beat all three away from home! So personally I think it's too early to say that a gap is growing between the Championship and Premier League but let's see!!
Honestly Everton fans staying for this long has got to be the worst decisions you have ever made because now Leeds fans actually have optimism once they get promoted compared to Evertonians who suffer every season trying to stay up its like looking at a decay corpse who refuses to die i dont think there is way u guys can honestly recover from staying in the prem
Being a Southampton fan, it’s frustrating watching how we play. We spend so much money on okay players (excluding Ramsdale of course) the top players we have had this season are Dibling, Ramsdale and surprisingly, Lallana. I know we will probably be there next season but I do miss the championship already. The class difference between the two leagues now is ridiculous and just frustrating being a supporter of a club who’s now into that “yoyo” category
I've always loved Ipswich's badge,I think it's from when I got Panini sticker albums when I was a kid and the team badges would have gold or silver backgrounds and make the Ipswich badge look particularly awesome.
Palace selling that phenomenal player who's name I've forgot to Bayern has really not helped their situation.
Michael Olise 👍
I think that the Championship teams have been improving in terms of attracting significant talents from other leagues exemplified by Burnley's recent spendings. However, i believe the Premier League teams still hold a substantial advantage, as even a mid-table team can secure top players from various leagues it feels like.
Your syllabal innunciaton is as accurate as darwin nunez's conversion rate. That being said i love your work.
Sorry guys to ask, I didn't finished the video as I'm writing this comment yet, but the graph showed at 1:20 is showing a prize money gap of about 87 Million Pounds between the winner of the Championship (Wolves) and the last placed ,relegated, Premier League team (WB); This means that the PL, as a parachute, gave those 94M Pounds to the LAST placed team? Like if this are real data's, this mean that the "weakest" Premier League team, or the bottom clubs that just got relegated, would have a lot more money (by far) than the majority of the remaining top 4 major european leagues clubs solely by placement prizes? This means relegated teams from PL benefit from the rich parachute, and the "new" promoted clubs to the PL with no more than 10M pounds are more likely to swap position every year creating an everfed and everending circle. Am I tripping or is there an economy wall that prevents lot's of clubs to grow?
Video on the rise of Bodo Glimt or FC Heidenheim, their stories need to be heard
So when it looks like the three promoted clubs are significantly worse than the rest, you complain.
BUT ALSO, when it looks like there are a lot of other clubs who look like they may go down as well as the newly promoted clubs, you STILL complain. What do you want? Not every club can be winning matches
Don't think a close bottom six is bad for the EPL. I hope we can have some exciting last matchdays, those never seem to happen anymore.
The only fans that are enjoying the premier league right now is the top 6. I'll tell you as a Chelsea fan this is a great start
Premier League is growing in popularity rapidly
as an Ipswich fan I'm having a great time
@@kirancannon6360I suppose this is due to you being the exclusive point group allowing you to go every away game , we've started well but certainly wouldn't say I'm loving it yet
And fans of the top 6 make up like 5% of premier league viewers. This is the entertainment industry
The premier league's downfall has the same amount of energy as watching mr. Beast's downfall💀
Same goes with KSI and liecester city
Premier League is the best and the most entertaining league in the world
Premier League is growing in popularity rapidly
Vid idea: talk about streets won't forget players
I fear that's been done a lot of times but sure we can do a 'Barclays' Video
I miss when teams like Palace, Bournemouth and Brighton have come up from Championship and have established themselves as a solid prem team
I miss when Wolves was in Europe 😢
West Brom no longer have parachute payments and are 15th in transfer spending this season. Being top at the moment is an overachievement, see how it goes.
Being an exclusive clubhouse that the premier league is, it will lead to a high standard needing to be met to even stay in the league
Lets not forget the season before last Fulham, Bournemouth, and Forest went up, stayed up and are all still in the prem. As a promoted team that has to be what to strive for but in the case of forest it does seem to depend on risking it all and spending a fortune
not even one day and this video already aged like milk.
Nowadays the big between the big 6 and the rest is so big some teams can’t even win a game
Or maybe the league is just alot more competetive, last season we had Burnley and Sheffield Utd
Eyo, I just wanted to say i appreciate your uploads. I always enjoy your rant and football history videos. I swear you honestly deserve a lot more subs than you have.
Here before he comes
The crazy thing is Everton before the Leicester game could’ve had 9 points out of their first 5 games if they didn’t throw their leads away 😭
I just want to see Leicester playing well again. Their play has been so messy for a couple seasons with a lack of build up play and shocking defending. I'm not asking for top of the table but we should be able to compete for at the very least mid table.
I have never loved my Forest as much as when we were in L1. We had terrible players, and worse managers at times, but it was exciting and raw. Obviously I'm loving life atm, but if we went down I wouldn't cry. More local derbys, cheaper tickets, better refs(?), more exciting football...the list goes on. Plus, we have a fantastic owner.
Good hunting Clarets.
Coming back to this 3 weeks later, Everton have now won 7 points in 3 games and are 5 points clear of the drop, closer to United actually lol
They should reduce the promotion slots from 3 to 2 so that only more capable teams come up.
Football has gone downhill in general, too many rule changes, not enough creative players, everybody’s a system player, pretty sad to see
need to add a system similair to F1's budget cap to bring the gap closer between the champ and the PL
We have the hardest start in the premier league (this season) played well and havent had the luck to finish the games. Im not happy with the start but when ur playing 5 out of the top 6 in the 1st 8 games, u are bound to be bottom of the league.
We sold Neto (plays 1/2 of the games at best due to injury). Sold Kilman for a good amount but we didnt really replace them due our owners not wanting to show any bit of ambition. Just hoping VAR is kind to us this season otherwise it is going to be a dreadful season to watch. I miss Jimenez, Jota, Neves and Nuno times, life was great during that. Covid stopped Chinese investment so Fosun stopped investing and now we have to watch Villa fly high while we kiss the bottom of the league.
As a Wolves fan, you're giving us way too much credit. We are 100% going down this season.
Branthwaite is back and Everton win, what a surprise. So infuriating that we lost so many points so far because he wasn’t there and Keane was in defence instead.
That being said, with the takeover being sorted, the new stadium nearly done and key players back - it could start to settle down. If you look at our goals so far, you’d be surprised, we’re scoring more than you think.
You’re completely right with the full back situation though, dire options.
At Southampton at least we have Tyler Dibling who looks like the second coming of Jack Grealish. Though your not wrong about the goal scoring problem though Archer might be turning a corner and Stewart could recapture his sunderland form if he manages to stay fit.
Its hard to say its worse, it could be more even than last season with the bottom 3 being of better quality than the bottom 3 of last season which has led to more teams at this point having rather small points tallies.
Ipswich are 3 games unbeaten. How long does it usually take for a newly promoted team to go 3 unbeaten? Sheffield United didnt do it all last season, and Burnley it took till the last few weeks. Ipswich will slowly grow and be quite comfortably away from relegation as the new 12 players gel.
Can’t lie bro your the best football UA-cam channel about the depth and research you put into your videos are insane and I appreciate the workrate it doesn’t go unnoticed fr, I’m wolves season ticket holder and hoping we can turn it around this season, hopefully you’d be able to cover us abit more over the season but other than that continue your content bro you soon reach the 🔝 💯
Same in other leagues. Teams promoted to the Bundesliga are rooted to the bottom without a win (which often happens) and that's a league that gets most things right. Solution could be create a Premier League 2 and split the money 40 ways from TV. Won't happen though.
Ipswich have done some smart/ good business especially if they go down because they’re top quality championship players
We have the problem!! But what is the solution??
The PL bing most popular, its success is giving it the huge money, so the gap with other europen clubs and EFL is bound to happen... by trend the gap will only increase with people gravitating towards major team with superstars insteaad of local teams.
Whats the solution?
-Is taking money earned righfully by PL and distributing it down pyramid in massive amounts the solution??
Or is there a better one???
Everton were playing with keane...thats why we were rubish
we are back now tho with branthwaite but he still needs time to settle in again
@@Kai_clague but it was night and day on saturday we were way more solid in defence
Yes Everton will be comfortably safe lots of upcoming games that are winnable with a good squad. This guy doesn’t know shit but Tbf I would look at Everton the same way
in theory it looks this way but in reality palace and wolves have been fine, they’ve obviously not been great but they’ve done alright. As a liverpool fan who’s loving slot ball so far, wolves was our hardest game so far and that includes games against united, milan and forest. Wolves had an argument where they should’ve beat us this weekend they dominated so much of the ball and they’re the first team to outplay our midfield it’s just they didn’t have a finisher in their team and couldn’t get it to hwang in the last 20 cus we solidified, we lost to forest but that was a wonder goal and we created more chances against them, united was our easiest game no joke then milan was easy after 20 minutes so fair play to wolves they’ve just had an awful run of fixtures. Then onto palace they’ve just been unlucky like they have good players it’ll click again soon they’re just unlucky like eze should’ve scored 2 against united
Crystal Palace will be fine imo but i think City are gunna go after Wharton in January they'll compete for the Premier League without Rodri but if they wanna win the UCL their gunna need a replacement i expect them to go after Wharton Bruno G or Zubimendi
Deducting points from Everton's like stealing shoes from an amputee; haven't got any to begin with
I mean that's just harsh
That’s a wild simile
6 games into the season, and no mention of the teams we've played
For me, if brendford wins against ManUtd, or Wolves beats Chelsea something is very wrong. I very much prefer the same teams in the top 7, 8 like it was the case years ago when football was actually enjoyable to watch. Of course if you have one or two unicorns that go into top 5 it does make it more realistic, but if Sheffield Utd is becoming capable at any time of beating top teams in the table something is wrong. And talking about the "evergrowing gap", probably forget about Chelsea beating Wigan or Villa by 8 goals. And for sure other big teams demolished smaller teams in the past too. Not having, the gap is abnormal.
Peak Southampton finishing Top 6 with a winning mentality which run throughout the club. We sold our best players and recruited poorly and we have struggled since. Club has had 2 new owners since those days, the Chinese owner didn't spend anything and then sport Republic came in and made so many questionable decisions.
You could make a great video on Southampton. Russell Martin is questionable and I'm not sure he's premier league level.
Has the awards happened yet?
Nope that's in November mate
@@Vizeh oh... sorry
Charlie Taylor and Bednarek are solid players for us they should start because of the years of experience they have at this level that's what will send us down just playing the 'talented' kids who will leave when we do 15:11
The game has become over saturated and made so fine tuned that all futbol matches will continue to output even less goals.
The 3 promoted teams all going down has only happened 4 times since 1992
As a West ham fan, I'd like to see you do a vid on the state of west ham.
I think the bottom few teams are some of the weakest but the top half is very competetive. Assuming Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool are the title challengers which btw is more competetive than Man Utd winning it all the time with the odd Wenger Arsenal team stopping them doing what Bayern or Juventus have done in their leagues, the battle for 4th (maybe 5th too if coefficient is high enough) is between at least 5 teams and arguably 7. 4th to around 10th could be anything
To be fair I’m very happy with 3 draws and 2 defeats in 5, when we’ve played 5 solid sides and could’ve beaten Southampton
In all honesty i havent felt the motivation to watch the EPL. As an American the games are always in the morning. Used to be very excited to wake up and watch. Not the case this season, ive lost the care to wake up early and watch EPL. Quite unfortunate since i love this sport.
I've had to watch Wolves a lot this season, and... yeah, I dunno. Cunha is great. Any team should want that guy. But I don't see much coherence, especially defensively. They almost mirror Leicester two years ago, where they look fine on paper, but a keeper getting older and losing key defense left them just a bit too vulnerable for too long. We'll see though, Wolves always have a funny way of showing up as a brand new team in January.
Fosun didnt invest when we sold Kilman, we lost Mosquera (i think all season) so January will be VERY important.
The blatant disregard from the media about promoted teams because of last years promoted teams being shocking is really infuriating from an Ipswich fan especially as yes we haven't won but we started against Liverpool and city then are unbeaten in theee yes without win but a home draw to fulham followed by two points on the road against Brighton and Southampton is a much better start than any promoted team last year
My dyslectic a*s couldn't make sense of the title ''The WORST Premier League In History''
As an Everton fan, there genuinely so much that can be pulled from the current squad, dyche just doesn’t have good starting XL’s and has awful game management, can’t effectively sub and relies on old players who time and time again don’t prove themselves, I think a moyes type of coach keeps us up, but are we really in the position to sack? We’d have to make a decision before sacking dyche..
My predictions for Premier League teams to get relegated this season are Wolves, Southampton, and Ipswich Town. Everton will barely scrape by away from getting relegated 17th spot for sure.
no they wont i think forrest will be like last season just scraping by then wolves then everton if we arnt lucky
The gap between champipnship and Prem is getting bigger. But i dont really find it weird that the big clubs in the last 10-15 years are high in the championship table. The Plynouths, Hull, Cardiff etc aint supposed to be top of the league. The big clubs with ambition is naturally in the top 6, and thats not cause of Prem money.
Funny Fact with West Ham,Brighton, Aston Villa and New Castle playin European competitions
The league growing in to a big 10 instead instead of Big six. Even if those 4 teams are small because of the history of the big 6
EPL is just ridiculous. Even if spanish teams kind of won most big European competitions we have this EPL before GTA 6
There will never be a big 10 😹😹
I mean I don’t really think you can call villa and Newcastle small
@@rebeccarimmer6348 villa are way bigger than Newcastle
Newcastle aren’t big either
Why did he talk about last season for Palace but not Everton, when they earnt 1 more point last season and I believe now have earnt the same amount of points as Everton since Glasner has came in (thatcould be wrong though). We have an awful squad but Sean Dyche will pull us through again
If teams like Luton & Ipswich don’t splash the money they make from there success it’s great. The Top end of the premier league has been a one or two horse race but I think them times are behind as they are ahead but it’s as they should be for the most part it’s good to see Fulham for example looking good this season.
Football just sucks in general now, its so absurdly boring.
end stage capitalism: football edition
Loving this activity from you 👊
Cheers mate
I mean the best way to “change that” would be for these clubs to use the obscene amount of money they get when they get promoted more wisely.
I realize this comment is basically just a form of saying “they just have to git gud” But if you look at the transfer records of many of these clubs, for example, Sheffield selling their best player after getting promoted, that’s not a systemic championship/prem gap issue
That’s an issue of the club in question making terrible moves. It would be foolish to deny that there is a wealth inequality problem in the Premier league and in the game as a whole, but it would be equally foolish to absolve any of these yo-yo clubs of their share of the blame.
Palace fan here... Our preparation for this season was messed up due to international games, Wharton came back not the same player at the age of 20 he played nearly every minute of last season,
Guehi has taken some time to get going with a new look defensive partners, Doucoure has had bad luck with injury
Mateta is burnt out with only a few days rest between the Olympics and the Prem start, his mind and will wants to play but his body is saying no after 40mins.
Then there's the Kamada conundrum, we signed him as a 10 and maybe with the option of versatility, the problem being he's physically not up to the CM role, plus he's learning a new language on top of learning the league. Add to that we bought Nketiah for a price that demands play time, he's been taking that role with Kamada and Sarr vying for the position.
It'll click eventually but we need to support our team which is what we're for at the end of the day! 🦅
