The other great thing about the EPL is that you are not rewarded for just being the hot team at the right time (see the LA Kings). No unbalanced schedules, each team plays the others home and away, so there’s no arguments over strength of schedule. It also takes 3 ties to equal 1 win, so teams definitely will not play for ties. And as we saw this year, it came down to Goal Differential, so teams are encouraged to score as much as possible.

I just can not stand the dives. Guys don't even get touched, fall to the ground in fake agony, get carried off on a stretcher, the “offending player” gets a yellow card or worse, then the injured player jumps up and runs back on the field. Disgusting. And it now happens in Basketball now and Foorball. Every time a reciever drops a ball they try and fake interference. I blame soccer. Hockey fixed it, penalize the flopper.
