The Premier League and the most interesting things
The Premier League is known as the most attractive tournament on the planet because of its values. The tournament brings together top clubs, fierce matches between big stars, and intense matches between the most talented coaches in the club world. Even the fierce derbies between traditional clubs in the same city.
The fierce battle towards the championship as well as the intense, tense sprints in the "red light" area for a relegation spot. And a super special spice that always appears in every Premier League season is the appearance of dark horses.
Overall is a concept that refers to a team at an average and weak level that suddenly plays in surprisingly high form. They won important victories against "equal-weight, equal-legged" opponents, many times causing difficulties, "shooting down" the big guys
In the 2022-2023 Premier League, until round 13 ended, the "dark horse" was Newcastle United.
Is it a pony horse or the beginning of an empire?
A great October for coach Eddie Howe and his team when the "Magpies" won 4 out of 5 matches. After a draw with Manchester United, they beat Everton and then convincingly defeated Tottenham.
Newcastle is one of three teams (along with Manchester City and Arsenal) that have lost at least one tournament - 1 match. If they had not drawn for 6 matches, they could have been in a higher position on the rankings at the moment (Top 4).
Last season, when they were bought by Saudi Arabia's owners, along with strong investments of up to nearly 200 million pounds for new contracts, Newcastle showed a completely different face. They came out of the relegation zone incredibly strongly with a scientific and effective playing style.
Newcastle have started the new season with a series of impressive achievements, the "Magpies" are performing their own football, carrying the identity that the English coach has built since taking charge at St James' Park. Currently, the team from the Northeast has pushed Man United and Chelsea out of the Top 4.
Another very notable statistic is that Newcastle is the team that has won the most points in the Premier League in 2022 with 70 points, surpassing Man City (69 points), Liverpool (67), Tottenham (64), Arsenal (62), Chelsea (53) and Man United (47).
Link to the case of Man City more than a decade ago, along with such steps, strong investments from the owners. The blue half of Manchester has gradually dominated the domestic league when it won 4 championships in the last 5 seasons.
Newcastle are also on the same path and are increasingly affirming their ambitions through quality contracts. The prospect of "The Magpies" becoming a real giant may not be far away.
Big 4, Big 6, then Big 7... The Premier League will become more and more attractive and that is good news for fans.
