The gulf in quality looks the same as us against Maidstone.

I'm wrong, it actually looks greater.
Shef Utd are a broken team.

Good practice for Rice and Saka incase Serbia, Denmark & Slovenia accidentally send their under 9s

I remember the year we went down on 34 points, it was fucking miserable.

I don’t remember us taking any massive beatings at home though

 

[fernandopartridge]

I’ve sat through some awful spells we’ve had, and against players nowhere near as good as Saka, Rice, Odegaard etc.,

Not a chance I’d be leaving 15 mins in.

Eh? The year we went down we lost 1-0 to Arsenal at home, in their side that day was

Ashley Cole
Bergkamp
Pires
Vieira

Loving the people who decided to leave at 5-0, rather than 4-0.

The gulf has widened though hasn't it in the past 20 odd years

Makes me laugh the hate Luton get when they’ve been the only team out of the three with any fight or desire to survive.

Get the feeling Wilder is a massive c**t too.

No we didn't, only that Everton game where it was 3-0 at half time and one bloke tried to attack Strachan

Was it Ron Atkinson?

Everyone has their limits…“We’ll leave when it gets to 7”.

Is 9-0 still the biggest ever PL win?

 

[Paul Anthony]

I think that's probably the easiest first half any of those Arsenal players have ever had. Raya might as well not be on the pitch, he's completely redundant.

Not just widened it’s insurmountable, even if you have a billionaire owner these days you’ll fall foul of FFP as a smaller club/newly promoted, you’re never getting anywhere near the established top 8.

Even Brightons scouting cheat code has been diminished by everyone getting to that same level/poaching scouts.
Even if there’s a solution, the established clubs don’t want it, closed shop is the goal.

Was that in a 24 team league?

 

[Frostie]

To be fair though, those results are expected.

Brighton recruit well and have spent big money off pitch in that dept over a number of years becoming a solid top 8 club.

Arsenal and Villa both have £500-£800 million spends over the last couple years assembling world class top 4 squads. You’re never competing with that with what Shef Utd have spent.

Results expected yes, scorelines not so much. There's no shame in defeat but there's a way to go about it.
They have already conceded more goals than the infamous Derby team of 2007/8.

I mean, as entertaining as it is to watch horrible Sheffield fucking United get hammered, it’s probably for the best that we’re not going up this season

Remember my dad dragging us out early and going ‘we’re fucking leaving’ when I said I wanted to see Lee Carsley take a penalty

Think we lost 6-0 at Chelsea - Kirkland got sent off

Expect a little more fight, but there’s only so far it can go. West Ham have a better squad than Sheff Utd and Arsenal absolute tortured them

It is, there's definitely a real chance that could go tonight.

As an amendment to this, not gonna lie I want us to get in before the shop gets closed if that’s the future

 

[David O'Day]

They look that broken that without serious change this summer they aren't going to challenge at championship level.

They just look hollow.

Agreed.

The fight has well and truly gone.

Sure. Arsenal are flying & as a one off yep, absolutely you get these results, but it's happened so many times it's embarrassing. They got done 8-0 by Newcastle & 5-0 by bloody Burnley!

As you rightly said before though, it's not entirely unexpected due to their woeful recruitment & I don't think they have been setup well all season either.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Not sure how they've won 3 games

Like Luton, I thought they’d be the leagues whipping boys but look how close they’ve ran top sides at home this season and they haven’t brought in world beaters, but their players seem to at least care.

That shed of a ground helps too though.

Hope Arsenal don’t take their foot off, want to see at least double figures.

Yeah. Sheff Utd & particularly Burnley are incredibly naive to think they can play the way they do against teams with that much more quality than them & it just makes it easy for them. One thing you know with Luton is they will make things uncomfortable for most opponents.

Yeovil 6-2, I'm sure Palace were 4-0 up at half time at the Ricoh, think we got a goal back, lost 4-0 at home to Preston 2007

Saka off for Viera
