Now, I understandou the downfall of Palmer. The UTDTrey's jinx.

Fun stat: last year all the teams from 4th to 7th conceded over 60 goals. This year the whole top 6 will each likely have fewer than 50GA.

14 teams had more than 60GA last year, this year that # will likely be 7.

Looks like the bonkers high scoring of last year came down to earth a lot.

Last year had 2 teams over 90 scored (City and Arsenal) and 1 more over 85 (Liverpool).

This year Liverpool might be the only team over 75 and may end under 85 (at 81 with 3 left)

What makes it especially interesting is that goal per game this season is at 2.97, which is still extremely high relative to the historical record. It’s the second highest in the Premier League era.

It’s just that last year was a profoundly batshit 3.28.

Feels insane that 37 goals gets into the top 10 all time.

Edit: Oh, PL only. So at least it's just the last ~35 years, little more understandable.

Yea, PL only. So Palmer's 37 would be #16 on all three of Liverpool, Arsenal, and United.

Palmer is 38th all time for Chelsea.

Casemiro's back!

Wenger eyes Europa League rule change before possible Man Utd vs Tottenham final

Arsenal legend Arsene Wenger has questioned the current Europa League rules which could see Manchester United or Tottenham land an unlikely Champions League spot next season

www.mirror.co.uk

Arsene Wenger admits that it is "not right" that the winner of the Europa League is rewarded with a place in the Champions League as Manchester United and Tottenham both battle to make the final of this year's tournament.

Palmer started good then checked out around Jan

Palmer started good then checked out around Jan

This is the narrative if you take it from the Internet rather than from watching the games.

Despite it not showing up in counting stats, he was very good in both January and February, but wasn’t getting finishing from guys in front of him.

March to mid-April (a span which also includes an international break), he was no doubt struggling.

Throughout it all, he was playing to such a level that he is still 2nd in the league in chances created.

The accurate chronology is “he started otherworldly, then was good, then struggled, and appears to have turned a corner back.”

No I watched it was a gradual decline.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

The bottom 6 (United, Spurs, West Ham, Ipswich, Leicester, Southampton) have collectively taken 2 wins from their last 30 matches.

And both of those wins were against Southampton.
