Live - Sunday's Premier League

Premier League
comment on the article

Welcome to derby day. Oh, and Man City v Portsmouth.

"This is what you are in the game for, these type of games," says Sunderland manager Roy Keane.

And frankly, who am I to disagree with such a hero? Sunderland are at St James' Park today, to take on fierce rivals Newcastle. In north-east land, it gets no bigger.

At midday, Birmingham must try and haul themselves out of the drop zone as they take on Aston Villa in the odd-sounding second city derby.

That do you for a Sunday? Good - now get in the mixer.

Match if the day is gonna be unmissable tonight, 3 games, 2 derbies and 12 goals! Thats the magic of the Premier League for you. Sadly next week we'll probably get back to it with a 1-all-draw between Chelski and United, an away win for Liverpool and a draw for Everton officially securing the same-old-same-old look of the table by the end of the season, thats the reality of the Premier League for you.
==================================================
Heres the solution. Split the teams into two leagues. The top 10 teams play in Premier A and the bottom 10 in Prem B.
This way everyone plays each other 4 times. You will get good matches every weekend. One team each year gets promoted to Prem A and one Prem A team gets demoted.
It gets rid of the pointless matches of teams like Derby, Sunderland, Fulham, Birmingham etc etc from our lives, and we are always watching decent football.
I enjoyed watching Man Cityv Portsmouth tonight, but what a snoozefest to have to sit thru the likes of Newcastle and Sunderland. They are very poor and offer little or no entertainment for the neutral.

-------------------------------------------------

Or you can just ban privately owned clubs meaning that Chelsea can no longer buy their success and once again creating competition for the remaining CL place after Chelsea's loyal stars decide they aren't so loyal now they don't have 150k coming into their bank account every week but ill admit you solution is probably more likely and legal at that.

-------------------------------------------------

Liverpool need a big home win on Tuesday, at least 3 goals ahead of Chelsea because their about as likely to beat Chelsea as the Bridge as i am getting a perfect score on my final school exams and getting into Oxford even though if i did get a perfect score i wouldn't want to go to Oxford, which id say is about 5/100....or 5%
