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" until 2007. – PeeJay 15:47, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

For the Top 6 table, the overall count for number of times each team made top 4 is not correct for some of the teams listed. Please recount to ensure the table accurately reflects the number of times each time made top 4 and top 6 as well for consistency. Thanks. Dkm49 (talk) 20:45, 27 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)

or

Current champions Liverpool (1st title) (2019–20) Most championships Manchester United (13 titles) 86.133.58.33 (talk) 09:49, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

The number of titles won by Manchester United is 13 Premier League. The current page is showing 20 overall. 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)

 Already done. Kloppo2020 was referring to the infobox, which used to say ManU had 20 total wins. ◢  Ganbaruby!  (Say hi!) 11:59, 29 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)

Change reference to "British Isles" in the opening to "Britain and Ireland" as this is a contested term in Ireland 86.2.126.91 (talk) 13:58, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

 Not done Even if it is contested in Ireland, it's not contested in Britain or anywhere else in the world. The Irish people may not like it, but the generally accepted term for these islands is "the British Isles". – PeeJay 16:36, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

"Proposed breakaways"

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? Remove the heading, integrate each sentence into a different, more relevant section of the article? More importantly, is it worth actually writing about the proposed breakaway?

Possible reform into the British Super League

There has been discussion about reforming the Premier League into a British Premier League, it has been reported on multiple sources and some information has been released but as of yet it is not known whether it will go ahead.

Maps

Can someone change Burnley's location on the map in the 'Clubs' section? I have tried to change it but I can't seem to get it to move. Burnley should roughly be in line with Leeds. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coad10 (talk • contribs) 18:27, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

"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.

Delete the sentence. Or change five to four and fourteen to twelve but if Aston Villa are relegated then need to change again. I wanna be the very best like no one ever was (talk) 04:36, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

 Not done. Nottingham Forest was in the first tier when they won the title, which is implied by the sentence. We're not going to change this every time teams are promoted and relegated. ◢  Ganbaruby!  (talk) 05:04, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

English Football Clubs in international competition

this does not include the delayed 2021 fifa club world cup that Chelsea won last month and so it should include this meaning 3 premier league clubs have won this trophy Katherine Northey (talk) 09:24, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Former Club Sub-Section on Clubs Section

On the Clubs section of the page, there used to be Former Club sub-section underneath to show the teams that used to play in the Premier League. The details of the information was shown on the table in the exact same format as that on the 2021-22 sub-section. Shouldn't we re-add that sub-section of the page because it might be very informative to readers. TB Chigz (talk) 10:25, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

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.
