Win, lose, or draw: trends in English football match results

While the premise of 'draws are boring' is debatable, I do think the discussion on unequal finances in prem clubs needs to continue. For some years parachute payments have helped with the relegation issues, but there seems to be a recurring issue of the top 4 clubs ignoring their spending limits and overall compounding their power transferring top players.

Also, nice article. I enjoyed the interactive graphs.

I also found this a bit off. Lots of goals ending in a draw can also be great fun. Wins are great for the fans of the winning team. But if you're a fan of the sport, then an engaging match, ideally with lots of goals is more fun even if it's a draw.

I've seen plenty of absolutely thrilling goalless draws, and plenty of boring 1 goal wins.
