From https://www.britannica.com/science/league-measurement:
league , any of several European units of measurement ranging from 2.4 to 4.6 statute miles (3.9 to 7.4 km). In English-speaking countries the land league is generally accepted as 3 statute miles (4.83 km),
So, for clarification @sandsoftime, what I think @cynicaloldgit was trying to get across was that its a fucking extraordinarily long table that Aston Villa are currently top of and they are certainly not the leaders of a board with a list of teams organised according to who has most points.
But do you like him enough to start a Minamino to Liverpool rumour?
Donât worry, @Nikola will get right on it.
Seems a very slow paced match so far.
Very unlike what Iâve seen from Leverkusen last season.
Leverkusen do finally score. .
A well worked team move.
Maybe thatâs because youâre falling asleep? 
Actually, youâre right: itâs been very mediocre.
Not impressed with any of the Leverkusen midfielders to play through the press.
But get Wirtz here.
Good player, but weâd be unable to compete with the likes of Real Madrid and Manchester City on transfer fees and wages.
And, in one case, history. Not sure which one, though. Answers on a postcard to the usual address.
The sideways and backwards passes by Leverkusen and slow passes at that would have gotten slotto and kloppo crazy.
The one success theyâve had this match is with a direct forward pass.
Sounds like @SBYM âs dating history.
And Leverkusen get punished for their lackadaisical football.
Cracking shot.
Leverkusenâs entire defense went to sleep.
There must be a giant screen displaying AN_Lâs posts facing them.
2nd (or is it 3rd?) season slump for Xabi?
Wouldnât say itâs a slump. Last season would be near impossible to replicate. Theyâre only three off the top in the Bundesliga and theyâve won their opening two games in the CL.
5th November might be the night AS can state he has finally arrived - The boys will pass Leverkusen for 90mins in a blur
Xabi will be dizzy at the end of the night
Bayern 22nd. Stop the count.
