Here's how the Premier League table REALLY looks The league table is a list, but the Long Table shows you how close teams are – and the gulf that is emerging behind Liverpool in the Premier League this season byFourFourTwo staff Published47 min ago Well, it's certainly starting to look like Liverpool might win the Premier League. If by 'starting', we mean 'continuing', and by 'might', we mean 'absolutely, definitely will'. Following Sunday's 2-0 victory over Manchester United – plus a draw for Manchester City and a defeat for Leicester – Jurgen Klopp's side took a 16-point lead at the top of the table. Oh, and they have a game in hand. It's a gap so big that the normal Premier League table simply doesn't do it justice. That's where we come in. Instead of simply listing which place each clubs is, leaving some teams deceptively close and others misleadingly far apart, we simply list each side according to their points total. We've been doing a variation of this Cann table – otherwise known the Premier League Long Table, as we simpletons at FFT Towers like to call it – for a while now. It ably demonstrates the gulf between pockets of the league, and develops nicely as the season wears on. It helps us to realise fairly simple things, like how City are closer to seventh-place Sheffield United than they are to Liverpool, or how Arsenal are still nearer the relegation zone than they are the Champions League places. It helps us recognise that while Manchester United may have climbed to the top of the non-Champions League pile, they still have more reason to be looking over their shoulders. And we can see just how important Tuesday's games between Bournemouth and Brighton, and Aston Villa and Watford are to the battle to beat the drop...

Good job they racked a fair few points up early doors. Relegation battle is really interesting this season, and in fact, apart from the title race (and potentially race for top 4), this season is as open as ever.

Say our game, we were all over Burnley but on Sky it was ‘Burnley were brilliant la la la...’, no we were slightly below average and they took 2 chances. But if it was United, Liverpool... vs Burnley it would’ve been ‘Burnley dug in and took the two chances that came their way’ they don’t watch the games, just make a narrative up as they go along with whatever the scoreline is saying That’s what MOTD said .......

People are probably watching in the hope/ expectation Liverpool will win against a top 4/ relegation rival now. That's why I tuned in yesterday.

Md9 Posted 20 January 2020 Share Posted 20 January 2020 Really hope villas new striker is worse than Wesley and they get relegated still along with Burnley.

It's quite literally more one sided than Ligue 1. It's no slight on Liverpool. They're sensational. But it looks very bad on the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzFOX Posted 21 January 2020 Share Posted 21 January 2020 Anyone else getting fed up of yet another news feed saying man utd must have madisson or grealish. Latest is Ryan giggs saying Solskjaer needs to get madisson asap. There’s no respect for our club or the fans. Almost wish LCFC started paying off random people to put out crap saying Madrid must get rashford as well as pogba. If their gonna unsettle our players they need to know we can hit back. 2 can play that dirty game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf when I left the bar where I was watching It on holiday it was packed .. prior to that when Leicester was on there was just me and a young foreign boy of about 11 who watched it for 20 minutes before he realised it was the wrong match ... and a sparrow ... mind you I think the sparrow was only there in case I dropped one of my peanuts ...
