For something like the Premier League, it really has to be 1 main topic and maybe(I emphasize maybe) topics for very big games. This thread had 0 posts in it before the topics were merged. If they weren't merged, it's very likely both threads would have died before too long. I was personally against the separate threads for the Champions League, but that definitely makes more sense for separation. Especially with the current CL format, the talk will be entirely about 2 games per week. Also, in most cases in the Prem, the talk will be mainly about big games. Unfortunately, the smaller games are the ones that will be overlooked, but they also probably don't have enough interests for their own thread either.
