I have been watching SSN and their hook yesterday was how wonderful and exciting the Premier league is because of the number of goals that have been scored this season what with five nil’s and six two’s etc.
Does this mean that the English Premier League is a higher standard now than ever before?
I remember Martin Jol’s assessment of the EPL a few years back, being of a higher standard than other leagues because in other leagues the top sides would thump the lower sides 5-0 whereas in this country even the top sides vs bottom sides were tough games so it’s pretty clear to me that overall standard has dropped, no doubt about it?
Let’s face it does anyone think that any of the bottom clubs are going to trouble the top sides on a regular basis? It’s not going to happen is it? More likely the drubbings will continue surely?
Anyone want to argue with Martin?
