[Football] The best thing about the Premier League

[Stat Brother]

It seems rude not too.



I'm going to go completely against popular thinking, and surprising myself as well, but for me it's:-

Less games.

I thought I'd hate it, esp August through to December, but I appreciate the games more now, instead of the treadmill that is the Championship, already 5 games ahead.

A win today would fuel me for a while, as would a monumental cock-up, a bit of a lull then back on the horse in a couple of weeks time.
Whereas half the time a big win/loss in the Championship and I'd be instantly looking forward 72 hours to the next match.

Sorry, I feel quite dirty writing that.

Fewer. Its fewer.

I'm the opposite. I prefer more games as per the Championship. The dull International breaks slow the season momentum right down. (even though the Championship gets them too)

I'm loving the PL but rueing less games.

Are you sure about your small hill?

I'm sure I'd be the same if we were losing every week and not scoring goals at home.

Although that said, quickly rubbing out the memory of a poor performance with a worse one, might not be that appetizing either.

Agree with all that. I prefer less games.

Sorry I feel dirty agreeing with you.

Quality of the football. Boring but true. Attempting to do a season without away games, so the gap between games is already doing my head in.

 

[dazzer6666]

Every Amex game a sellout
Full away support at the Amex
Little Old BHA having world cup winners and the like to play against
Vast amounts of press coverage of us to read
Global interest
Getting anything against top 6 sides feels like winning the cup
Not being seen as an ‘irrelevance’ in the continual work discussions about football any more

Preferred the more frequent games in the Championship, more competitive games and less predictable results, but overall loving it so far.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

I could put up with fewer games if it weren't for the trade-off with the boring, pointless and seemingly interminable international breaks. Why can't they be timed to coincide with another pointless measure, the winter break?

FEWER evening games is good. In the Championship it seemed to be the default and you'd be out there on any number of random school nights just to satisfy Sky

 

[Surrey Phil]

Watching our little old BHA playing in the best league in the world - what’s not to like?

FEWER evening games is good

More chance of a Monday night one isn't

Watching our little old BHA playing in the best league in the world - what’s not to like?

Not even close to the Spanish leagues quality.

Last season I missed the midweek games from the Championship, but having gone through a season I am now in tune with the game pattern, although I still don't understand why so many games are packed into the period following the last international break to the 3rd Round of the FA Cup.

If you were born in the mid seventies, we are back where we belong.

I'm with you. I don't go to many away games so today will be my first match since 5th October, three weeks ago!

And if it wasn't for the fact I'm going to Everton next week, the next one would be nearly another month away on 24th November

For god sake don't look at the upcoming fixture list.

A selfishly Albion thing - the club is financially viable as a business.
