I hadn't looked at the Premier league table in ages. I was surprised the majority of teams in the league are involved in the relegation battle. Oh well, I guess we will worry about it of we go up, but it seems the gap between the richest six or so teams and the rest has increased hugely.

Yes, back when finishing in the top four meant you got a hundred million compared to twenty million it's massive. But now that everyone is getting a hundred million just for turning up, and everyone is spending £20m per player, it's harder to throw the "rich clubs" accusations around.

COME on Swansea
Apparently Danny Ings still exists and apparently he [still] plays for Liverpool.
