Almost 6.5 games played so far in the EPL this weekend and only 6 goals. The record lowest I can find for a whole gameweek is 15 which happened twice; in week 20 of 2020/21 and week 15 of 2022/23.

Sorry HB, I posted re this article on the 'Musings' thread this morning before I just found your posting ... wasn't trying to steal from you nor plagiarise! What attracted my attention was the claim "Wolves may be bottom of the Premier League but they are the 29th-richest club in the world by revenue" ... makes you wonder how much money there is in the PL compared with other country's top leagues.henbet22 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2026 9:17 pmExpansive Europeans befuddle Premier League elite as set-piece shtick backfires | Champions League | The Guardian https://share.google/3gWkj3VpPJHsRMDwP

Relegation is a tough nut to crack. Spurs stepped up today. Forest look toothless. Nuno has a harder run in than both the above but I think he has enough to get the hammers out. Leeds have enough maybe. Depends on the relegation 6 pointer next Sunday. 2-1 3-1 2-0 then Spurs are fine. Forest will look leggy after Thursday away. Depends on Wednesday for Spurs. Put up any sort of performance and the fans will be on side. Fold like a pack of Cards then it's pantomime season. Maybe he sends out the youth team.
Utd top 4 at 1.22 looks v big..

Man Utd have had a huge run of luck across their last 7 games. There's a good chance they will drop away imo.henbet22 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2026 7:47 pmRelegation is a tough nut to crack.

The world's longest VAR...
Senegal stripped of AFCON and title awarded to Morocco.

What an incredible mess!
Where do antepost bets stand with this I wonder?

Reckon it was the right decision based on the details below.
Teams have to understand that these rules apply, maybe the referee(s), on the day, could have collectively made the decision, but there would have been riots in the streets afterwards if they had.
From a betting perspective, there's probably a rule somewhere, re-football, that only pays out on a "podium" finish.

What if the referee had sent off the offending players?
This would have resulted in an abandoned game if less then 7 players left. The authorities would then likely award Morocco with a 3-0 win.
What if it happened in a UK cup game final?

Just saw an interesting post that Mamadou Sarr (Chelsea and Senegal) is the first player to lose 3-0 to two different teams on the same night
That's a bit mental, although you can see somebody protesting about that because of what happened on the day.
African football and football in certain types of the world is a complete write-off for me. It just follows completely different rules and very often doesn't seem completely legit.
