Robbored Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Arsenal ripping the Blades apart, four up inside a half hour. Its a combination of a very slick Arsenal and a desperately poor Blades defence. Its just a question of how many Arsenal will get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bard Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Sheff U were shite last season I thought. Didn't understand how they got up. Obviously repeated the trick of winning 1 0 despite being terrible a few times. Burnley were great at dominating at our level but they aren’t managing that in the Prem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSSEL85 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Sheff Utd get lots of stick and rightly so, they are shit! I do find though, especially in the media that Burnley who are on the same points, spent 100m seem to be immune to criticism, probably something to do with the manager but still! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DolmanGaz Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) The commentator just said xG for arsenal only 1.8, but 5 goals... ok... but before the first went in they had THREE enormous chances. Totally dominating with 80% possession, 16 shots. 7 on target. But only 1.8 xG This stat has always been baffling to me...

It’s based on the statistics of players in that position scoring over the years. And for every Arsenal player that takes a shot from a good position and scores, there’s a Bristol City player who misses. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtually a closed shop, with just the illusion of free movement between the top two divisions. The parachute payments will ensure that if one of the bigger clubs had an absolute mare of a season and dropped through the trap door to the Championship, they’d be virtually nailed-on to go straight back up the next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersonic Robin Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Watching this, it makes you wonder what level of embarrassment you would accept in the Premier League. I don't mind the idea of being promoted to the Prem, instantly relegated back to the Championship, then using the parachute payments to build towards a more sustainable crack at the Premier League. However, I don't think I'd take that offer if it were as humiliating for us as it has been for this Sheffield United side, or Derby back in 2007/08. So that's the question - how bad would we have to be in the Prem before you thought "Actually, I'd rather we just never got promoted"?
