Because we are playing a team who are much better than us, who have less injuries, a bigger squad, are fighting for the title, are at home and have had more rest time.
A draw would be an unexpected surprise.
To be honest inflation has been rampant for the last few years. The price of everything is going up across the economy. Whether premier league football is rich enough to eat those increases without passing them on to fans is a moot point, because we all know they won't as the demand for tickets is there.
That doesn't really make sense to me but I would agree that the premier league is over rated. English teams are handicapped in Europe due to the intensity of regular league games and the amount of games they play. Other leagues do their best to support the teams in Europe but in England it's the opposite. Lille have this weekend off and we have to play Arsenal away on Sunday. At the back end the season it takes a huge toll.
Breaking news, Villa have been awarded the Premier League trophy at his majesty's pleasure. Break out the claret and blue scarves and miniature Union Jacks. God save the Kings (in waiting....not the current one)
I don't watch any of it, ever. I tune in for kickoff and turn over at halftime. Of course a lot of people, especially young people, don't actually watch the game at all and instead just tune in for the highlights and 10 minutes of 'banter' to see what happened.
I have used it briefly. It seems to one of the worst pieces of software ever designed, if it was even designed. This may just be the way we use it but everybody absolutely hates it in our company.
It always was. It's a crazy league where there are huge ebbs and flows and upsets. The playoff system also makes it very interesting at the end of the season.
The FA are definitely going to move the FA cup semi's from Wembley to a much smaller arena where they can charge less for tickets and get way less money from hospitality.
