VAR in the PL

At the moment, WP has no article about VAR in the Premier League. There's a general video assistant referee article, with PL on its list, and a mention under Stockley Park, but that's it. Surely we need a new article, or at least sub-section here. - Onanoff (talk) 02:05, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Premierleague wiki page

The page is locked to protect from vandalism. The page requires updating as there is no asterix alongside Liverpool as the winners of the 2019-2020 league title.

The table come the end of the season will be significantly affected by the global pandemic that has occurred during this season, as a reputable source I request that this is added in order to provide valid and factual account of the season. N.R.Shaw (talk) 19:15, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Liverpool were pretty much guaranteed to be champions before the pandemic hit. I don't see why it would need qualifying. In the eyes of the league, they're the champions, just like any other club in any other season. Of course, the disruption to the running of the league can and should be described elsewhere in the article. Cordless Larry (talk) 19:22, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

1992 FA Carling Premiership

The current opening paragraphs incorrectly state that the FA Premier League was originally formed in 1992 with the 'FA Premier League' name, which it was not. It was actually named the 'FA Carling Premiership' in a sponsorship deal with Carling Brewery. The title 'Premiership' was used from the initial 1992-93 season until the end of the 2006-07 season. Then it changed to the current 'Premier League' in the 2007-08 season. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C5:1035:1D01:9FD:26E9:ECDF:4A4B (talk) 11:03, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

You're half-right. "FA Carling Premiership" was the sponsored name, but the official name of the competition was always "FA Premier League" and liverpool dominated this until 2007. – PeeJay 15:47, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

For consistency when it comes to including previous league titles, shouldn't either of the following be used in the side bar?

Current champions Liverpool (1st title - 19 overall) (2019–20) Most championships Manchester United (13 titles – 20 overall)

The number of titles won by Manchester United is 13 Premier League.so have liverpool. The current page is showing 20 overall just like liverpool. Yet Liverpool are showing 1 Premier League win with no overall number showing, this is misleading and to be completely honest very petty and most likely done by a Manc, please can we change this to reflect wither both with overall or Man U showing 13. Kloppo2020 (talk) 14:54, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

I'm afraid I can't understand your complaint, Kloppo2020. Where in the article does it state that Manchester United have won 20 titles? Cordless Larry (talk) 20:57, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Maybe you mean at Premier League#2019–20 season, where it states that United have won 20 top-division titles? But there it states that Liverpool have won 19. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:04, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Article has become WP:BLOATED

I've just been bold and had a bit of a cull of some of the excessive detail and duplicated information that was on this page. Per the summary style that is employed on this page we should summarise the key information on this page with the further detail on the main articles. The list of winning managers for example was a copy of the table on the managers page so there was no need for it on this page. This seems to be true for a majority of the bloat in that this page has had a number of split tables introduced over time that are covered elsewhere. I will be looking at doing further trims and some clean-up over the next few days. Cheers, Woody (talk) 21:08, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

None of the sentences under this heading refers to a breakaway (i.e. the European Super League). Does anyone have any idea how we can address this?

"The English top-flight has produced the second-highest number of UEFA Champions League/European Cup titles, with five English clubs having won fourteen European trophies in total."

This is wrong. Five English clubs have won but Nottingham Forest are no longer in the Premier League.

Missing context for taking a knee

This sentence in the history section “ The Premier League players decided to take the knee only at some selected "significant moments", instead of the routine before matches. They assured to "remain resolutely committed to eradicate racial prejudice".” is the first mention of taking a knee in the whole article, so it deserves at least a sentence of context for when that routine began and why.

List of champions by season

I came here looking for a simple table listing the seasons in chronological order with their champions, and maybe the second and third place sides.

Hillsborough reference

It currently says this:

(between the fans of Liverpool and the fans of Nottingham Forest at Hillsborough Stadium, Sheffield, Yorkshire on 15 April 1989)

this hints that there was some kind of altercation between the fans, especially after talking about an era “rife with hooliganism “ earlier. This has no place here.

Manchester United actually won 6 league titles but the one missing is 2008/09 and Chelsea only won two under Jose Mourinho in the 2000s as 2009/10 was in the 2010s plus that was under Carlo Ancelotti.
