Not that I disagree with other leagues/sports taking the play-off approach, it definitely has it's positives, you just don't butcher the oldest and most watched league in the world with it EDIT: Or oldest top league or whatever it is.

I don't get this. I feel like this is the wall between us here. Implementing a system that allows every team a shot at the title doesn't devalue it. If West Brom win the title, they were the best team. If we're mad about that, beat West Brom. It would ultimately come down to a head to head matchup, instead of hoping that your strength of schedule is comparable to that of your biggest rival for the title. Thanks Mike. Get the fuck outta here. It devalues it because it's infinitely more difficult to win the league over the course of 38 games than just finishing 8th and fluking the play offs. I mean the sole purpose of introducing it seems to be "so more teams have a chance" so of course the achievement is of less value

I agree though, good post timeEd32

Thanks Mike.

But it completely devalues the actual title itself. I mean West Brom could win the title this year in that format, which would be an absolute farce.

I think he'll realise some of his mistakes but I have very little chance in him rectifying them. We still cannot take a corner after him declaring half a year ago that he was looking into it, I think expecting him to impose an entire new ethos on the whole side is probably a touch beyond his capabilities. I also know you know this, but I just fancied writing it anyway

Love this.

What?

"What is 6 x 4?" Just to check he isn't functionally retarded. Passing that I would just generally want to know that, should he unfortunately still be in charge next season, will he at least attempt to give the squad some kind of identity on a football pitch? Preferably a one where the players look like they actually train and play together. Not that I would care for his answer, mind.

I still cannot believe the comment by that BBC journo EDIT:

I think Martinez would be a massive upgrade on Pardew personally. He wouldn't be my first choice but he would be worth the upgrade.

You're so bent, Dropout.

I blame Pardew personally.

Neesy's one of us man.

nerd rage is just one someone goes proper radge on the net, I cannot understand it. I'm not calling neesy a nerd or out. I don't think TT

He's in the picture.

Uncal Frank from Leeds.

I genuinely don't think I've ever called anyone a twat on here before Just calm down man, there's no need.

No need for the nerd rage like Neesy, chill out man.

he must have been, that was a bafflingly bad performance today. Some decisions weren't just wrong, they made absolutely no sense.

The word 'ass' makes you sound a bit gay. Apart from that, good post. aye, good post though

How can we get any worse man? I honestly think people are underestimating just how shit Pardew's approach to the game is and just how many managers there are out there.

The ammount of times we've been dominated however you probably couldn't count on 4 hands.

Liverpool last season? Wigan this season for sure. Man U, Chelsea, West Brom That's about it. EDIT: Chelsea probably wasn't domination like, although we played well and were the better side.
