The first half dozen or so games of any season are always more unpredictable, under SAF Man U were always slow starters. Proves little.

At the start of last season all I kept hearing was how West Ham, Swansea and Southampton would finish above us for sure just because they'd managed 3 or 4 wins in a row early in the season. Swansea won their first 3 last season, then went 5 without a win. West Ham had 31 points by mid December. They finished on 47.

Your point is hardly conclusive!
My opinion is that there are no easy games anymore in the PL, as smaller teams can still beat larger teams, at any point in the season, not just at the beginning.

My point is neither is yours, and I got there first

Having one of the most overhyped leagues in football ( thanks to Sky telling us it is the best all the time) is one of the reasons for that.

I did say for the most part.. Average it out across the season, the big clubs beat the brick sides more often than not. Fact.
That is a truly shocking revelation

The shocking revelation is that English fans don't think this applies to their own league. Smart arse.

That's due to the idiocy of the press shoehorning a narrative onto a tiny sample size. Games are not taken on face value anymore, everything has far reaching importance and the concept of fluctuating form is alien.
I think you'll find they do - just that it's not with the same regularity that the top English sides easily waltz past the lesser teams winning by several goals at a time, as in other leagues.
Steven Gerrard: “A few English clubs called but I wouldn’t play against Liverpool. There was interest from Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino. It was good to know he still rated me.
“I was sure I could play in the Premier League for another year but there would not have been much of a buzz doing the same thing all over again with Tottenham.”

I don't think so some how. We're looking for young players, his wages would have given DL a fit and another thing, and the clincher for me, with all our Dutch players do we really need another hard to understand accent?Steven Gerrard: “A few English clubs called but I wouldn’t play against Liverpool.

Just a thought- Brendan Rogers or Poch?
BR is still struggling at liverfool- he's surely in borrowed time. And if results don't pick up for Poch ....Christmas swapsies?
I'd think Liverpool would go for someone more experienced than Poch, but would DL pull the trigger if BR were available?
Not likely for me but what do others think?
