It's essentially just dividing realism vs optimism, really. Such as the transfer thread vs twitter bullshit thread - this so the one thread doesn't get filled with stuff people don't want to read. It's not hard to understand. Outlandishly positive things go in here and people who wish to discuss those things have free reign. More realistic/toned-down stuff go in the main thread. A tweet daying Bruce is close to signing Haaland doesn't go in the realistic transfers thread, to put it like that, but there's room for that tweet somewhere on the forum - and that's what has always made this forum great.

- 2 Bodø/Glimt, - 1 Molde and -1 Rosenborg off to a great start. Only Rosenblrog left.

No. In the event Chelsea wins the CL but finishes 5th, they'll get the 4th CL spot and the team that finishes 4th in the league goes to the EL instead. It was changed after the Liverpool debacle.

Love your username on here Where's my fucking money, Denny?!

The holdouts might end up being banned for two years though iirc.

Stadiums with a running track are the worst.

It's funny 'cause it's true

I really want Lincoln up for FM purposes.

The Keith guy is selling merch ffs, lost the plot.

I enjoyed OGS press conference today. Paraphrasing the quote a bit from memory but the essence was "This is a proper competition and it means a lot to be a part of it. We had to fight hard to be where we are and now we're one step away from the final. We're here with teams like AC Milan, Villareal and Rome, storied clubs in a tough competition and winning it matters to me, the players and our fans."

I want to see change in teams and not the same old all the time so Brentford or Barnsley for me. Brentford is my main choice due to their moneyball approach, would love to see how that fares in the Premier League.

If anything, Real Madrid should get a ban from European competition.

Deep trouble is a bit dramatic still, three games less played than Köln and three points off, four points off safety with two games less played. I think they'll be safe, at least I hope so.

He's actually defending the Saudis buying us by saying it's not actually great to have a British businessman who runs the club within the parameters of sensible financial controls, at least that's how I read that quote.

This is an absolutely amazing quote: "Of course, it would be better if Newcastle were owned by a wealthy British businessman, who runs the club within the parameters of sensible financial controls. Except Newcastle is owned by a wealthy British businessman, who runs the club within the parameters of sensible financial controls, Mike Ashley, and everyone hates him."

There was no carrot at the end of the stick for any of the teams to bother with it. They wanted to get EL qualification for the winner but couldn't get it, so if you qualified for the RL you just qualified for some meaningless extra games and that showed.

Berlusconi's proposal was 16 teams are guranteed spots in a 32 club Super League, but every five years those 16 clubs will be re-evaluated on merit and could lose their guranteed spot for the next five years to another club. The other half would've come through normal seasonal qualification. Given how that got stopped as monopolizing football, I can't imagine this proposal would fare better? I have no idea on the specifics of the laws though

There is a law, it's what stopped this happening when Berlusconi tried in 1998.
