Are we talking about real sports again now?

Last three years were canny interesting. And fuck off with the playoffs.

They couldn't call it the Gallowgate End?

We're all busy googling candlestick park.

It's like watching ever more desperate suicide attempts.

Not that hope, general pessismism suffices there. The hope that we'll get another Robson, Keegan, Harvey or Seymour or someone and actually be good and challenging again. It probably won't happen but it's the hope that kills you.

The hope. Maybe we'll get good again one day. It is pretty fun too.

Inman? He's had a decent season. Out of this lot i'd probably go with Cisse. He's worked hard whatever he's been asked to do and he's not done a bad job of knocking the goals in since Ba left considering.

I don't agree, I don't see how biting someone can be worse than what Aguero did tbf. It's pathetic and that alone maybe deserves 10 games, but you can't tell me that biting someone in the arm is worse than actually trying to deliberately break someone, can you? As I said, there is a problem with consistency. But I can't see anyone can argue that 10 games for biting someone is too harsh. Biting is so far removed from normal football behaviour that IMO it's uniquely disgusting and needs to be dealt with extremely harshly. Same with racism. There are lots of bad tackles but they are not the same. Don't agree and your second sentence is exactly why. The only reason the ban was given this harsh is because it's out of the norm in football. How is biting someone worse than punching somone? (Barton a la Pedersen) How is biting worse than what McCallum (spelling) tackle? How is biting someone worse than gathering force to stamp someone laying down? (Aguero) A bite like that won't make Ivanovic miss 10 games, while a tackle can make someone miss a whole season but is only dealt with a 3 game suspension? This is purely the FA wanting to make headlines and distract from the fact it's a horrible federation. Get out of it. He bit someone, again. With an 8 game ban for racism inbetween.

The ban is excessive because it'll make Suarez more angry and upset the fans :lol:

Scousers on talksport are quality tonight. This guy is advocating LFC taking the FA to court.

I would favour a playoff system for the last 3 european places in the league, as i mentioned. That would even things out a fair bit but to determine the champion? If they're the best team over 38 games, home and away, how does going back and playing that team you beat 3 months ago prove anything?

What's 'winning something for the sake of winning something'? It's nonsensical, the whole point of playing is to win something. You go on about teams seeing seventh place as a 'massive victory' and then write off 50% off the actual shiny metal trophies we have a chance of winning. And the answer isnt playoffs. The answer is never playoffs unless the question is 'what happens at the end of the season in the fizzy pop league?'.

The fuck team do you think you're supporting? We haven't won anything since before I was born. So? So i'd give my right ball to see us actually win something. We're not winning the league anytime soon, FA cup maybe if we get a bit of luck, nee chance of europe as things stand so the league cup looks pretty fucking sweet to me right now. You're like the bloke who's marooned on a desert island for 40 years and complains when the woman who finally washes up is a bit of a munter.

The fuck team do you think you're supporting? We haven't won anything since before I was born.

Boro, Spurs, Liverpool, Birmingham and Swansea have all won the league cup in the last 10 years. I reckon we could win it if we had a proper crack at it. edit: Suppose the champions league could always be considered to be the playoffs for best in europe. Maybe that's the european version.

A wuz theyar when Amlaf, Amamalf, Ammmmmafut, that french blerk scowad. He seems to have just joined us and vanished. Another facet to our transfer policy a la Gosling maybe, take a punt on them if they're free. If it doesnt work out, you've lost a little in wages (minus any transfer fee). edit: well, that first line wasn't great to begin with but after that previous post got deleted it looks a bit random. Trust me, there was a reason.

Bloody hell, now neesy's at it. Repeat after me, 'we are going to get humped, we suck, pardew out, i hate everything'.

I'd question whether or not we actually need two defensive midfielders. Effectively we'd have 7 defensive players out of 11 on the pitch. Go a bit more aggressive and go 4-1-2-3 instead of 4-2-3-1.

Bearing in mind our shocking league position will have cost us £5m+ in merit payments as well as being less of a tv draw and bugger all prize/gate money from the cups, that's not a bad deal for Laudrup. I'd take Laudrup, Girard or Ketsbaia happily. Ketsbaia or Girard are probably more likely due to the compensation involved but any of those three i'd be chuffed with.

What does that change domestically, though? You create a "big two" that get fat on that final position cash and tv money. Two teams that are attractive to big names because they're guaranteed to contend for the title and qualify for the CL. It's your idea, don't ask me. At least the CL places might get shared around a bit more and give other teams a chance rather than the same 4 every year. Imagine a year where Chelsea, Man Utd or City missed out on europe, it'd give FFP some teeth as they no longer have the guarantee of CL money. Eventually you'd achieve a more equitable distribution.

I thought those cartoons were a pisstake, I was waiting to get to the punchline at the end. The fuck is wrong with these people?

Spot on from .com there. The Gouffran one is baffling considering he keeps banging on about our players being tired and the Gouff should be one of our freshest having missed the EL campaign. Gotta have a bit of Shola though I guess.....

Suppose playoffs for the final 2 CL and the EL place might work. 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th play off and the winner and 2nd place get the shitty CL places and 3rd gets the EL. Maybe even extend it down to 8th with 3rd and 4th getting a bye in the first round. To determine the league winner though? Get tae fuck. Stick with the silly yank 'sports' for that. Be wanting to call it soccer next and serve hotdogs and 'soda' instead of beer and pies. Educational fridge leaflets on the seats and shit. Fuck off.
