EPL Talk: In This Year’s Relegation Battle, No One Is Safe

    please get your facts right, Hull haven't played at Sunderland yet. Even when the played Sunderland at their own ground the half-time score was 1-1 and the players did not stay outside on the pitch.

    Whoops! Sorry about that. It's fixed now. Not sure how I missed that, considering I actually watched that game...

    The EPL, and football in general, is most exciting when every team in the league has something to play for. A dozen teams have legitimate concerns about being relegated. That makes for some exciting football and great drama off the pitch. For instance, who will make the big transfer of the weekend? Will we see another midnight deal like last year's sale of Benjani to ManCity to pay for Defoe coming to Pompey?

    I've been through relegation battles before, but this one will involve so many teams that it's mind-boggling. It also means that I'll be watching more games than ever just to keep up with who is playing well and who is not.

    On a personal note: Gotta admit I'm not disappointed to see Defoe get injured. At least he won't have to take a taxi to Portsmouth to get looked at by the team trainer. Oh, and Harry is tapping up Robbie Keane? I'm shocked. Shocked! He's never done that before...oh yeah...

    PLAY UP POMPEY!!!

    Imagine if the race for the Premier League title was as tight as the fight to escape relegation. It'll never happen again, but we can always dream!

    ...but the Hammers did just make money from Bellamy and Etherington, so there's yer funding right there.
  • patrick · 10 months ago
    understood Burt, but if West Ham where going go into administration don't you think they'd 1. sell more players. 2 hold onto that payday?

    I know logic has little place on the internet but come on
