Preposterous as it is that a table should even be printed…. Didn’t it used to be 9 games before they even complied one??…..but..
After seven games are we looking at the rest of us simply playing for 5th & 6th whilst the parachute payment club sort an order out amongst themselves?
You talk about integrity of a competition, FFP, P&S or whatever sporting chance bollox the EFL / Prem want to spout but it’s placings as per the balance sheet / bank account size now isn’t it?
Such a shame that even “the most competitive league in Europe” going this way as well it seems |  |

I agree with the sentiment, but the fact that there’s more than three parachute-payment clubs above us shows that there’s been some rotation of promoted/relegated teams, so there’s still opportunity to go up if a club plays their hand right. |  | | |

There is a parachute club second from bottom too though! |  | | |

As far as I can remember tables were always compiled from the off but there was common understanding that it would only really take shape after about 10 games. |  | | |

Sometimes parachutes fail to open. |  |

The top 4 is what I was expecting but just a bit earlier than I hoped. Having said that Norwich and Watford both got stoppage time winners so the extra two points gained put them up there.
Strange comment by the Sky man reporting on Watford's win by adding that they were very unlucky to lose on Saturday. Oh really? Why bring that up at the end of tonight's match? |  | | |

The Prem and the EFL are in discussions to change the P&S /FFP rules already. The suggestion at the moment is less parachute payments and more for the rest. |  | | |

I always remember that it was after three games, but I'm only 12. |  |

...and yes, it was, to the best of my recollection, not compiled or printed in the paper until three games were played by the majority of the clubs. This was only a week into the season though as we'd play on the Saturday, then a mid-week then again the next Saturday. | |

Are the tables that meaningful so early in the season? Doubtful. Although the fact that 3 relegated sides are in top 4 shows how much money has distorted the competition |  |

My Grandad used to come over our house every Sunday and brought with him the Daily Mail and all the Sunday supplements.
The highlight was looking at the league tables at the back of the paper all leagues laid out.
Div 1,2,3,4. How it should be. Premier league my arse.
QPR always stood out from the rest as it was in bold capital letters in all its glory. Division 1. About 5th from bottom usually.! |  |

That’s very true. Big caps meant you could scan newspapers page after page in seconds looking for QPR, saving hours reading through dross. | | | |

I loved League Ladders!
But I always moved Rangers up a few spots. It was the right thing to do. | |

I don't think Huddersfield are in receipt of parachute payments this season. They were relegated in 2018/19 and I believe would have got them for three seasons. You get them for only two if you go up and come straight down. |  |

Nothing wrong with that. I’d ‘amend’ the table for a day or so as if we hadn’t conceded that last minute goal or suffered a dreadful refereeing decision.
Incidentally, the table could be improved immeasurably by moving Aldershot into Division One and replacing them with Chelsea at the bottom of Division 4. Most satisfying. | | | |

I miss the days when you would find out if someone was bought or sold by buying a newspaper
Own up , how many times back in the day would you be on holiday that would you buy a copy of the sun( a day old btw) to check the scores or if we actually signed someone
It took me 3 days to find out we drew with Forest on the opening of the 90/91 season when I was in Magaluf |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Three games is what I remember but like you say taken with huge doses of salt until about 10 games, which is about a quarter of a season. Another hard look about Christmas and again at Easter. | | | |

The tables were definitely printed after one game by the clubs that were top of their divisions! | | | |
