Looking at forest today, Fulham so far and even bmuff winning their first game.

Is this the toughest EPL we've ever seen ?

Could be some big names down the bottom this season. Wouldn't automatically assume we are safe either after selling our 2 best players and a gauranteed 8 goals from maupay.

I think the top 5 are stronger, and almost all other teams are weaker than last season (including us).

Every year the newly promoted have a bounce early doors October/November it’s all over.

Do you mean like Leeds and Everton ? (Like last year)
And who says we’re safe after 2 games (like last year) , or can’t progress after selling players (like last year)
And who says the promoted teams don’t pick up points ? (Most years)
It’s too early to say. (Apart from Man City who seem to look decent - who knew ? )
It’s 2 games.

Could be - but you'd want to see teams like Southampton and West Ham improve to back that up

I would say Liverpool and Man City on at their own level but the gap to 3rd - 10th in quality has dropped.

If Spurs or Arsenal can somehow bridge that gap to the top two then maybe, otherwise it's just turning into the SPL with more hype.

Its in the nature that the biggest shark only gets fatter...

But actually I think the PL has never improved as little as it has this summer.

I’d say possibly the weakest for a while. Putting aside the promoted sides, there are issues at Man Utd, Everton, Villa, Leicester, Southampton and Wolves. I think we’ve got every chance of finishing top half again.

2 games in and only two teams have maximum points- i wonder if that’s some sort of record after 2 games ?

No. Could make a case for Leicester and Wolves being rotten
