Gooners look like top 8 team now.

Gooners look like top 8 team now.

They scored one and conceded 2 against Spurs. Pool scored 0 and conceded 4.

Little bit of perspective for you.

So does that mean pool top 8, whilst Arsenal sitting on 7?

According to @Optajoe the record run for succesive home victories in the English Top flight are currently held by Liverpool. 21 somewhere in the 70ties.

United currently on 19. Uniteds next 2 home games will be City and Sunderland.

Both tough (Sunderland have given United problems before) If United beat both, it's Newcastle after that to break the record.

Liverpool threaten breakaway from Premier League's TV rights deal

I think it should remain the way it is. Separate TV rights can ruin a League's competitiveness.

So some clubs will have more money than other clubs. How is that any different from the way things are now?

Agreed. Though I wish there was a way to pay per match if your team isn't being televised in your country.

 

[RanzB]

@Rexx - because that makes whatever disadvantage the small clubs have money-wise, even worse.

You should look into how income is distributed in the premier league , its a extremely equitable system.

Domestic broadcast revenue is distributed based on leaague position and overseas broadcasting revenue is distributed equally to each club 1 to 20.

Read a report both United and Chelsea have come out against Liverpools proposal, says a lot when the two clubs who stand the most to benefit understand the need to not look at your own pockets and think of the league as a whole....guess its a indication of the culture at Liverpool as a club.

This is probably my favorite piece of football journalism this year so far... a piece where a club is slated for money reasons and that club isn't Chelsea. Bliss

Tough on the conscience living with the guilt that your clubs recent success is based the wealth of a corrupt Russian oligarchy.....

Yeah watched that game, most of the actual footie was complete dross, but the fightback was sweet. How's all those Wolves fans leaving at 80 mins
