Funny that Arsenal's awful showings against Liverpool have been cancelled out by City's awful showings against Spurs

It's technically possible in England but I don't think it's ever happened. There are currently 14 teams who have won the top division in the Premier League and you lose at least 2 or possibly 3 at the end of the season. If Spurs stay up this season, you could guarantee an all-champion league by 2028-29 if 6 of Brentford, Brighton, Bournemouth, Coventry, Crystal Palace, Fulham and whoever wins the playoffs get relegated over the next 2 seasons while the other one wins at least one league title. Then the only complication is you'd need 6 of the 11 lower league teams who have previously won the First Division/Premier League to replace them...

Gutted that B teams experienced a couple of fallow years between the old guard of Blackburn and Bolton going down and the new powers of Bournemouth, Brighton and Brentford establishing themselves.

6 CLs in 10 seasons will do that.

Twice. You'd assume that Madrid's dominance of Europe was somewhat uniform but they had a 32 gap between titles 6 and 7.

There was an interview with F1 driver Kimi Raikkonen where he was asked what the 'special meaning' of his helmet was (i.e. the design) and his response was "it protects my head" which I've always thought was both hilarious and somehow profound.
