You guys are the best.
Sewelly, the difference between a postseason and the FA cup is that every team would take the post season seriously. We support a team that doesn't give a shit about that cup. They openly don't give a shit. You can't compare a few motivated teams cutting through teams that barely care to a postseason where every team would be going for it.
We're the only ones that don't care about it man, because we have King Pards. Everybody else does, that's why the good teams keep winning it. Change league to a play-off system and you might have an Everton (like Portsmouth) nab a title once a decade. Maybe.
It's not a viable solution.
I feel like we haven't given a shit about the FA cup since I've been a fan.
Even if playoffs gave us one out of the blue champ a decade (It wouldn't), it would be better than this big money team carousel we're stuck on. It would throw some parity into the pot too, since the end season standings would only determine post-season seeding. The 1-8 after the playoffs were over would determine league payouts and European places, and all that.
To be honest mate, you've convinced me. That's our way in, our crapshoot at the trophy.
