Incognito

These are shit, there for the taking.

Fine sight for Newcastle fans. Fisty warming up.

Poxy Watford cunts flinging themselves to the floor at every opportunity

Gini has been anonymous so far Mick, so we are a tad predictable, all down the right. As I say this Mitro nearly scores from a Gini assist.

Cheating cunt

We won't outwork these. Nonstop running.

Elliot saves us twice there. Superb. Shite from Lascelles though.

"zizzoko" Added to he hates us with a passion

Good start this.

Uuggghhh Tony spunking Gale

It's a great idea but it doesn't break up the hold the mega rich teams have over the league itself. They'll just spend even more and hoard even more players to avoid 4th. I'm not worried about the CL, parity in England will sort the CL out in time. Parity in your league will make it easily the strongest league. Massive do or die fixtures beyond what most of the other teams in Europe could ever dream of participating in makes the EPL stronger. Hell, it might even improve your national team, ffs. Hardened English players knowing what it means to perform when it's all on the line year after year instead of on those infrequent occasions when they land a cup final. Each team plays each other home and away. Absolutely no need for playoffs. The issue of mega rich teams won't be solved by giving them an extra half a dozen or so games which would no doubt add to their already bursting coffers. But it solved it here. With 162 games, you could argue there's even less need for playoffs in baseball, but we've got them and it's possible for a (comparatively) poor team to topple the teams spending hundreds of millions of dollars. This is due to teams taking an active role in improving themselves year after year (which imo does not happen in the EPL. Most teams work to maintain the status quo) which spreads the top talent around, and affords more opportunities for talent to develop. They don't play each other the same amount of times, do they? Do each team play all of the others at all? There are two leagues. AL and NL. Every AL team plays each other an absolutely ungodly amount of times, and (I think) each division in the AL plays of the teams in a single division from the other league plus any local rival. This is relatively recent. Teams from the AL and NL never used to play at all unless they met in the World Series. So you've got all the AL teams going head to head over and over again, but we've still got playoffs and no one is upset. Because you have to get the National league and American league to send their best teams to the World Series. That's the elephant in the room. In the Premiership, the best team wins it. Except 95-96 that is. Each team has played the same fixtures. That isn't the same in American sport is it? It's the same in basketball. Each team plays one another at least twice. Also each team absolutely does not play the same season. Not from what I've seen. There are games where teams try, and there are games teams are happy to survive. I don't think any of the top teams regularly face teams that are actively trying to beat them. That's why they keep going to Europe and getting cracked. That's how certain teams approach the game. Goal difference is another add in that we have and therefore influences how teams play when they face the big teams. The fixture list is still the same for everyone.

Scouse cunts

This is the best idea if we have to go down the playoffs route.

On Sky Super Six this week, I've put every game as 1-2. Little chance of that happening.

Dredd to think what this cunt's like. Cert for the bench iyam.

Terrible idea. Too much fortune involved in the FA Cup. And from a co-efficients perspective it makes sense to ensure the best teams possible qualify for the CL. The league format is great because there's a fairly large number of games but everyone is important. And more importantly, PL tickets are so expensive it's important that matches matter. There's so many NBA games the play-offs make sense. There's so little NFL games the play-offs make sense. Plus in the NFL, everyone doesn't play everyone else.

That's an absolutely horrible comparison, Wimbledon already is a play-off based fucking competition Ok, try this one for size. The top 4 in the marathon do an extra three miles to decide the real winner. Absolute fucking nonsense.

Next: The top 4 in the Grand National fight it out in a 5 furlong sprint. The league has always been a 9 month race over 36-42 games. The highest points score at the end wins. The problem with the League is they have allowed it to be spoiled by weakness. They should have brought in a salary cap, absolutely no doubt, to allow it to be a healthy competition. Playoffs wouldn't achieve that.

It's the one where Wullie showed you up to be the hypocritical simpleton that you are isn't it?

Now, now.

Like an older version of Arthur Wharton that lad.

Out for three weeks with jetlag apparently.
