Why has it lost its SOVL?

It seems like everybody agrees the Prem just ain't what it used to be.

I've been enjoying the early Palace until they fell apart and Bournemouth that had some of the most entertaining games this season (3:3 vs Palace, 4:4 vs United, 3:2 vs Liverpool). But my favorite game so far was that insane 4:3 Newcastle vs Leeds game.
There are still a ton of kino moments even if the league this year seems like a pale version of itself.

It has never had soul. It was a league of savages dominated by literal whos, and now is a league of robots dominated by literal whos. This level of cuckery perfectly encapsulates how cucked England as a whole has become.

It isn't just the EPL. It's all of football. Too much diving, too many games being played, and too much political bullshit.

>why has the most sell-out globohomo construct in football lost its soul?
You can't have everything. It's the strongest and most competitive league in the world for sure. But the price was soul, fan identity, you name it
Of course, it's also not like every other league is inherently soulful. Modern football in general has been sucked dry in this regard. But the Premier League is at the forefront of everything, so also at becoming and being soulless

Frankly I feel the degradation of the league is pretty in sync with the increase of blacks playing in the league. Not even memeing, I feel there is a pattern that we aren’t allowed to discuss here. Players all seem to play the same way, and increasingly seem to look the same way too. It’s become incredibly predictable and boring to watch.

I’m not entirely convinced by this logic yet, but it is a pattern that seems consistent and almost done on purpose for whatever reason.

It's probably always been the case to some extent, but this season in particular it's just become so blatantly obvious that the competition is rigged, which takes all the excitement out of it

Brother, the league has become so competitive that Tottenham are in serious danger of getting RELEGATED after they just finished 17th, two places below MANCHESTER UNITED in 15th.
Liverpool who spent HALF A BILLION POUNDS on players last summer are struggling to finish in the top 5.
Giant historical clubs are getting played off the pitch by BOURNEMOUTH and BRIGHTON.
Shut the fuck up!

>>153684441
Too many games in too many timeslots, too many blacks, no local legends like Totti or Gerrard. Like the other anon said it's not just EPL it's all of football, club squads look more and more like NFL teams.

Lack of star players.

It's the Americanisation of the sport, all the xG and other bullshit. Managers get fed the "data" on what the optimal plays are and now everyone who's not Postecoglou plays the same robotic way (and Postecoglou gets pounded half the time for following these ideals). It's like how no one says anymore "they got done on the counter", it's "they were caught in transition". Americanised corporate bullshit.

>>153685797
Yeah this combined with tactics that seem to limit player creativity. As an era it feels like it isn't about players but about teams. It is also starting to not even be about managers but about management structures

100%.

It's hard to connect with the players when they are all African guys called Nkunku.

Years ago you would know all the players on every team. Now there's just a bunch of Africans who aren't worth differentiating from one another. Harsh but true.

Maybe you gay faggots ought to look at yourselves for a change, where is YOUR soul? all you do is bitch about the state of the world when you can't even change your own habits because you yourselves are soulless and lack the willpower to get out of your bubble of mediocrity and stagnation so you project your own soullessness onto the world and the beautiful game because it's just easier that way. you don't know what soul is, to you it's just a buzzword, you don't live it, you don't feel it and your definition of soul is "how things were when I was 12" because you're manchildren and your consciousness isn't developed. I'd bet my left nut that some of you reading this are obese, do you think you'd ever allow yourselves to be fat pieces of shit if you had fire in you're heart? no chance

I've noticed this about Sunderland in particular. Watched one of their matches a few weeks ago at West Ham and pretty much the entire midfield and forwards were black lads. Didn't help they were playing in an all black kit either, kek.

style of play. we're just a physically strong, rapid La Liga.

i'd gladly take being humiliated against Italian and Spanish sides in the Champions League like we used to, if it meant we had our unique brand of chaos-ball back. i mean, let's just imagine the former GOATs of the peak PL era; Gerrard, Keane, Vieira, Beckham; how the fuck would these players work in our modern tika-sucka-cocka style of football? then add VAR to warm up the concoction of shit

>>153688448
Arsenal being so unlikable is another element to this. We're told that Arsenal are the black team and by implication them winning is therefore good. But they play ugly, negative football.

The Prem isn't the sovlfvl game, it's the competitive game, and it never has been sovl.
>b-but muh early 00s
You mean when United won every season or second season because they had the most stacked squad?
The sovl leagues are Eredivisie, Primeira Liga and the Brasileirao. The competitive league is the Premier League. Other major Euro leagues are one or two team leagues who sell all their good players to the Prem or their league overlords.

Every game is just physical murderball but in the most boring way imagineable. That and the most bumfuck retarded refereeing in the world.

The top team being the team who wrestles all the opposition to the floor at corners while flopping to the ground like a bunch of bitches as soon as someone breathes near them is a pretty grim summary for the state of the league rn.

All football is soulless now. Too commercialized, too standardized, too optimized, too globalized, too brown, too nouveau riche, too many meaningless games in meaningless competitions, with hordes of thirdies watching to bet on, with statistics nerds overanalyzing every tackle, retarded ultras demonstrating for flavor of the week social causes

Yeah there's no incentive to train up a skillful ball player when he will ne neutralised by the opposition's ghanaian sprinter.

Chelsea still have some SOVL though.
The only SOVL-less team is Arsenal
Man United, Man City and Liverpool have some vestigial SOVL but it hasn't yet gone in its entirety.

i'm amazed how often this happens. everyone does their "job" in the build-up to get to a situation where it's literally impossible to score a goal, and teams just repeat. it would be better for a player to just have a shot from 40 yards and save a good 30 seconds of that 2 minutes
>>
>>153712298
can't have shots from outside the box in modern football
xG enthusiasts say it'd be a "high-risk play that results in losing possession"

It's a pretty competitive league this year all considering

Do you think it could be related to the Bosman ruling?
>>
Ban passing the ball back to the keeper, if a defender passes it to his goal keeper it’s a penalty for the other team, problem solved, the back pass rule was brought in because football had become too boring to watch, the ball was continuously going back to the keeper, the ban worked for decades because keepers were shit with the ball at their feet so the ball was played quickly into midfielders and forwards, pep ruined all this by turning the goal keeper into an extra outfield player which every team has copied, now the average game consists of endless passing between the goal keeper and defenders just like before the pre back pass rule
>>
>>153684441
Arsenal are a shower of extremely dislikable 'win at all costs' wankers and Arteta is an endlessly objectiable cunt. That aside, it'll improve some when City put them back in their box. But that we are depending upon fucking City to save the EPL, thats not good in general either, nope.

While this is true, I can't say I don't enjoy a Bundesliga or Ligue 1 game. The season outcomes are predictable, but the games themselves are quite good especially if you avoid watching Bayern and PSG.
