Why do people care about the fee? We've spent years whinging about us quibling over pennies. Every PL club is going to be gifted hundreds of billions in the summer anyway.

Because he's English? Thauvin came in for big dollar and has barely seen the pitch.

Tend to agree with this, although have that awful feeling that no striker will be coming in.
-
Could live with aids if HBA was still playing for us You're probably living with it anyway tbf.

Why does he insist on giving so many interviews? What a tit.
-
Dresses like a hipster cunt but has the footballing philosophies of Sam Allardyce. Confused individual. Annoying that he's 10 points clear of us and likely to have 30+ gumars.
-
And because it would be utter madness. Who would want their team to have <15 home games over the course of a calendar year?

I just don't understand what you mean when you say random champions in a derisive way. I mean....the team that wins is the best team. This is where we'll never see eye to eye, I figure. It's widely accepted based on fairly simple math that playoffs produce random winners. Here's one article: http://freakonomics.com/2012/11/09/does-the-%E2%80%9Cbest%E2%80%9D-team-win-the-world-series/ Do you agree that when the Giants beat the Patriots in the SB in 2007 it was an upset? If so (and surely you must), you agree that the Patriots were the better team heading into that game. And if you believe that then a single result should not change anything, particularly when it was an ideal matchup for the underdog and it took one of the luckiest plays you'll ever see to win a close game. The Giants were the champions that season, no one disputes that, but they were not the best team. No, playoffs exist in America for one reason - money. They keep expanding for the same reason. The unbalanced schedules exist because of the league structure and the importance given to division winners. Creating parity (via randomness) is a by product and yes, it can make things more interesting but it doesn't make it more fair. Have you been watching the Premier League this season? Every team is vulnerable every single week. Financial heavyweights Leicester City - LEICESTER - are three points clear at the top at the end of January. Let's pretend for a moment there was a playoff in the format you suggested (top 8). We would already know 5 of the 8 teams. The only drama between now and May would be who got the three lowest seeds and if Leicester would get home-field advantage throughout (although if this ever happened the final would surely be at Wembley because money). People would be wondering if Chelsea could sneak in and if they did, could they win it all? Does Chelsea really deserve to win anything this season? They quit on their manager and were abysmal for four months. Instead, every single week between now and May will have must-watch games with Leicester, Arsenal, and Man City, not to mention everything else teams are playing for. Would it produce some really exciting moments? Of course it would, but do you know how dull a #4 Spurs vs. #5 Man Utd. match would be? LVG would be playing for 1-0 or penalties. Here are the 8 teams in your playoff for the last 5 seasons: Would it really be worth 38 weeks of games to basically watch the same teams compete for a championship in an even less fair way? Sanity.

Classic Arsenal this.

Odd sacrifice.

Blatant red, but Costa's rolls man. Nee shame

Everton can't be fucking trusted like. Slightly better version of us. Nice football, blah blah blah, still shite.

The expression we all wear when watching Newcastle.

It was because Klopp was whining at their being 5 minutes stoppage time. Norwich scored on 93 and Klopp moaned to the officials. Then in 95th minute (that Klopp was whinging about!) they won it and he went crazy. Don't blame the Norwich coach having a go tbh. Gone off Klopp since he got here. But that's understandable. He was fuming that they had conceded with so much time added on, which wasn't explainable. Would then have felt some redemption with them then getting a winner anyway. His celebration was authentic man. He wasn't looking to wind them up or anything. No they'd scored in what would be considered normal added time and he went off on one about there being 5 minutes added on...in which they happened to win the game in. He's got to act the wanker, it's The Liverpool Way®.

His approach doesn't make sense at all like. At least the likes of Jose normally wait until theyre 1 or 2 up to be horifically pragmatic. In the shoes of a gloryseeker, would struggle to get behind being actively bored to death with a team worth hundreds of billions. Lob out the '20 times' pencil case and look for entertainment elsewhere.

Why did fat Sam put that mug back in nets?

Cockney slimeballs stick together.

They play West Brom in March, hopefully him and McClean will break each other's legs. Dream scenario. The pain these Man United fans are going through. Spare a thought.

Fellaini elbowing again. Someone half that cunt.

Outstanding save Hart.

Song just rocking a pair of shades?
