You've got to love this guy's attitude

Some managers talk about how tough the Championship is, how tired the players are, who is carrying knocks or injuries. Here's David Wagner after today's FA Cup tie. "We are very happy to have another match against a very good team, to test us again. We learn from every game, I love to see my players on the pitch playing football matches."

The title could be won by 6 teams different teams each year.

The title last year was won by a team who were rank outsiders

In the 90s and 80s one team tended to dominate, now there has only been one point in the past 15 years where a single team has won it 3 years in a row.

The premiership right now is far more competitive then it's ever been.

Walsall

Since I last looked at this thread I've been to 2 clients, been to the bank and opened a new account, had lunch, been to 1 more client, been back to the bank to deposit some cash, come home, started tea in the slow cooker, played the red dead redemption video game because it makes me feel like a cowboy, visited my gran who's just turned 80 to wish her happy birthday, come home and had a 45 minute nap.

The horse is dead man. Leave it alone.

I have to admit, I hadn't looked through the thread to see who else had been. I logged on and clicked to see what threads I'd posted on were most recently commented on. This one was high up and you were 2nd last to comment. You were an easy target and I took it. No hard feelings

I, for one, agree with Walsall's original point.

Based on what we see, it appears the clubs mentioned are abusing the loan system to strangle the talent pool and attempt to prevent other clubs acquiring talent that the other clubs may have brought in to play regular first team football in the near term (note, maybe not immediately).

This seems to bear out when one looks at the various factors:
- age of some of the players,
- leagues that the clubs they are loaned to play in,
- the success of the players at their loaner clubs.
