Yeah, the four goal second half sucked.  But this looks like City are gonna score 6 or 7 if they want to.

Edit: four goal, not foul goal.  So mad I can't spell.

Because of Jesus.


(And because they get to sit out the FA Cup ties & League Cup ties until later in the year.)

Yup..The EPL is based on the NFL and the NFL knows that people staying home love to watch sports...ie Thanksgiving Day and Christmas games etc.

Because of all of the cups.

Just looking at the schedule and I pick Spurs because I know their schedule pretty well, they played 9 games in December. All but two were EPL games, those were a European cup date and the EFL cup.

Roll over the January and they played 8 games, 2 FA Cup games, 2 EFL games (Semis) and 4 EPL games.

Feb will feature 5 games, 4 EPL, 1 European cup date. But they missed an FA round (plus potential FA replay) and there is the EFL Championship later. And there is another European mid-week schedule too.

But basically the December schedule has to be jam packed to allow for 7 or 8 open dates in Jan/Feb.

75% of EPL teams couldn’t give a shit less about the carabao/milk/paints/carling  cup. The FA Cup has also lost a ton of prestige with a lot of big teams playing all backup squads early in the competition.

Playing 3 league games in 6 days around the holidays is reckless and outdated. Top 4 teams are also playing group games in the CL in late November/early December.  

The current schedule is is an homage to the 1990’s when teams and fans cared about the domestic cups.
