bottom teams taking sack loads of points of the top teams, are they actually getting better, or are the top teams actually getting worse.
I happen to think the standard is dropping, as shown by the reasonably poor show of British Clubs in Europan Competitions this season.
Whilst Spurs are playing some blinding football, how many other teams are really knocking the ball about like Spurs. Man United are grinding out results, as are Arsenal and Chelsea, rather than in previous seasons, completely dominating teams from the lower reaches.
Only my opinion, but I think the standard of the prem is defintely on the wane.

What a load of rubbish, people say this every year.
Not exactly rubbish, the British teams have hardly covered themselves with glory in the European competitions this season have they.
And when you get a lot of teams chasing players like Bent, Zamora and Cahill as must have buys, it does not take that much to see that standards are indeed on the wane.

In seasons gone by we would actually be league leaders at this stage but we are still 5 pts adrift with a game in hand.
In this respect you could argue that City have raised the standard bar (at least on the domestic front) and only Utd have taken the challenge head on with us hanging on in there.
Maybe it is case of the top 4 now becoming a top 2 with Spurs being the most improved out of the rest and Arsenal and Chelsea falling off slightly.

Not at all.
<Citeh> have exploded the Sky 4 with a new and more wealthy Sugga Daddy on the scene. Teams like Spurs have been on improvement creep for the past 5 yrs.
And now the Sky 4 is under fundamental attack.
The Poool look like season 3 with no CL piggie trough.
And if Spurs push on, another Sky 4 fave will be colouring in all the thursdays on their 2012/13 calendars.

"And if Spurs push on" and win the PL.
Not to be confused with : Spurs will finish in the PL top 4 this season (so sayeth the Oracles : LAA/LAC/LAL - beware the stats of Jan !!! ) .
