237 Things that changed the Premier League table

"Three-legged tripod?"

The league is halfway through, and the current situation is getting more and more clear. Manchester United, Leeds United and Blackburn are in the top three. The score difference between them is only one point. Manchester United is one point higher than Leeds United and Leeds United is one point higher than Blackburn. Leeds United has played 19 rounds, while Manchester United and Blackburn have played 18 games.

"The current situation of Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea is not very good. Arsenal have lost five games, and Liverpool and Chelsea have lost more games. Arsenal, with the highest points, is already eight points behind the third place Blackburn in one game. Although there is still half a season left, it has basically been announced to withdraw from the championship.

"Speaking of the team's experience of winning the championship, among the three teams of Manchester United, Leeds United and Blackburn, of course, Manchester United has the most experience. They won four Premier League titles in seven years of the Premier League. Last season, he won the FA Cup and the Champions League in a row. They have the most experience in winning the championship.

"Of course, it is more important that Manchester United's ability to score points in the second half cannot be ignored at all. The scene of Ferguson chasing Newcastle a few years ago is still vivid.

"The second place Leeds United, their results this season are both unexpected and reasonable. At the beginning of the season, this season should still be a fight between Manchester United and Arsenal. But the Leeds United suddenly rose up and ranked second in the Premier League. But on second thought, the results of Leeds United are also imaginary. Last season, many of Leeds United's main players just played in the Premier League in the first year, but they have already shown amazing strength. The strength of the more mature players and more mature teams this season can be imagined.

"But Leeds United has the biggest problem if they want to win the Premier League championship. It's just that their players are too young to stand the pressure. Last season, O'Leary's Leeds United finally collapsed under the pressure of George. The advantage of eleven points was eventually overtaken by Blackburn and lost the place in the UEFA Cup. Whether Leeds United can stabilize such psychological endurance in the end is a big problem.

"In addition, O'Reiley is a new coach, who was the head coach for the first time last season. I don't have any experience of winning the championship yet. It's hard to stand it in front of the experienced Ferguson. So I'm not very optimistic about the prospect of Leeds United winning the championship.

"Third place Blackburn. In fact, Blackburn showed strong strength last season, but their performance in the opening stage was too poor, so they only won the fourth place in the end. And Blackburn's head coach, George, also has experience in winning the championship. When he was in Burnley, George was promoted as the league champion in the League Two and League One. And in Burnley, he has won the League Cup and the FA Cup. But it's all in the lower leagues.

Blackburn also has their own problems. George said at the beginning of the season that his goal this season is to win the League Cup. I believe that George will never give up the UEFA Cup, because it's a slap in his mouth. So how much energy will be put into the league is also a big problem. Two-line combat is a burden for Blackburn now.

On the 26th, after the end of the 19th round of the Premier League, the Sun made a summary of a half season.

They have directly excluded Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea from the championship competition. The focus is on the analysis of Manchester United, Leeds United and Blackburn. He analyzed the strength of the three teams, as well as their strengths and weaknesses.

However, after analysis, Manchester United is the most likely to win the championship.

However, there seems to be something wrong with this report. Because the day after the newspaper came out, Leeds United and Blackburn won the 20th round of the Premier League.

Although Blackburn has made a lot of substitutes, he still relies on Davao. Sooke and David. Dunn and Henning. Berg's goal was a 3-0 away victory over Watford. With the deepening of this season, George bought Davao for this season. Sooke and Henning. Berg is very satisfied with the matter.

These two veterans do not require the main position. And as long as the substitute plays, he can play very well. George feels that it's great to have such a player on the bench.

Even the other three strong teams, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea, have also won.

Only Manchester United, which is most supported by The Sun, was tied two by Sunderland on the road. The points are the same as Blackburn, one point behind Leeds United. In this way, Leeds United became the first place in the Premier League, and Blackburn ranked second in the Premier League with the advantage of goal difference. Manchester United became the third place in the Premier League in one game.

The current Christmas schedule in England is not as intensive as later. Later, around the 25th, there were three or four games in a week. But in the 1990s, there was always a game on the 26th and a game on the 28th. Or it's not the 28th or the 29th.

And on January 3rd of the new millennium, the 21st round of the Premier League will start.

Recently, the strong Leeds United and Blackburn have won again. Blackburn beat Bradford with a big score of 6 to 0. In the middle, Klose scored two more goals, turning his number of goals in the Premier League into 14.

Arsenal were tied 2-1 by Sheffield Wednesday, Liverpool was defeated 1-0 by Tottenham Hotspur, and Chelsea was tied 2-0 by Coventry. More importantly, Chelsea will finish the second and fifth rounds within a week because of the Champions League. The schedule is very dense.

Manchester United, one of the championship contenders, missed the 21st round of competition because they were going to die in the Cup. In this way, Leeds United has surpassed Manchester United by four points and continues to occupy the top of the table, and Blackburn has also surpassed Manchester United by three points in one game.

Everyone was stunned. At present, the strength of Leeds United and Blackburn completely covers up Manchester United.

At this time, people are thinking about who will be the Premier League champion this season. It will be Leeds United and Blackburn. No matter which team wins the Premier League championship, it has a great influence on the Premier League.

Leeds United and Blackburn, most of their players are young players. Their potential has not been fully developed. Once there is a Premier League champion, it will inject a new thing into the team.

At that time, the Premier League will have a real third pole after Manchester United and Arsenal.

George is also playing drums in his heart these days. Should he compete for the Premier League championship? In fact, George despised Leeds United in his heart, but he was an upstart. In order to show their skills in the Champions League, Leeds United, which is well made in the end, can only swing in the lower leagues.

If Leeds United develops step by step, the Premier League may become an important force in the 21st century. Many of them are trained by themselves. Unfortunately, they were too eager for quick success, and in the end, they hurt Leeds United.

George doesn't know why Leeds United is so strong this season, but George clearly remembers that the Premier League champion this season is Manchester United. After Wenger joined Arsenal, the Premier League before Mourinho came to Chelsea was the fight between Manchester United and Arsenal.

Occasionally, Liverpool, Chelsea and Leeds United come out, which are just a foil. Is it your own arrival that has affected history?

George was in a good mood. On January 8th, he welcomed the fourth round of the FA Cup. George's strategy was still to train newcomers and give them a chance to substitutes. He didn't expect Blackburn's substitute to be awesome. A ero away win against Manchester City, which is still in the League One. Entered the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Just as George was preparing for the twenty-second round of the Premier League, a very big thing happened. A thing that has completely changed the current Premier League table.

At this time, the media suddenly revealed that two Leeds United players, Woodgate and Lee Boyer, were beating Asian students. At first, it didn't seem like a big deal, but soon the overwhelming accusations from the media appeared in Leeds United.

And there is also news that the court also summoned Woodgate and Lee Bowyer.

Who are Woodgate and Lee Bowyer? Woodgate is currently the main central defender of Leeds United. At this time, Woodgate's fame in the Premier League is no less than that of Terry's later debut. Woodgate and Ferdinand are known as the two most promising young central defenders in England at this time.

And Li Baoye is known as a genius. Although he has a bad temper, his strength in the midfield is the best young midfielder in England in recent years. Even if it was a popular Shuangde later, Lampard and Gerrard were not as famous as Li Bowyer at this time.

The two of them are the absolute main players of Leeds United.

As the two of them were involved in the scandal, Leeds United's morale was greatly affected.

Even George didn't expect that Leeds United, a young team, would be so unhit. In the next four games, Leeds United was a losing streak, winning a four-game losing streak for the first time this season.

Not only George didn't expect it, but I guess the British football world didn't expect it. In the first half of the season, Leeds United, which was almost invincible, became a bully fish brisket. Or Leeds United's mind is not in the game at all.

A four-game losing streak immediately made Leeds United fall to the third place in the Premier League. Moreover, Arsenal, the fourth place in the Premier League, is only one point away from Leeds United.

In January, Blackburn's results were not very good. However, it also won two wins and two draws, and Manchester United, who came back from the World Cup, won three games and three games in the following games. The momentum is still fierce, and George at the top of the list feels the aggressive posture of Manchester United.

The scandal between Woodgate and Lee Boyer completely destroyed the strength of Leeds United in the first half of the season.

All the media expressed their regret for Leeds United. But they know the decline of Leeds United and will never end there. Now they are still in third place, and there is still the possibility of participating in the Champions Cup next season. But according to the current situation of Leeds United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea behind them may be able to catch up with Leeds United.

Unless Leeds United can save the situation quickly, they may not get anything at the end of the season.

Everyone sighed, who would have thought that such a thing would happen at Christmas.
