Kaizero Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Norwegian league wanted to implement play-offs from next season, backed by Rosenborg, Molde and Vålerenga (three biggest teams in Norway) and only one relegation spot (plus one relegation play-off spot against four teams in the second division). Got voted down :( The relegation thing still got implemented though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nattfare Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I mean, what sport has suffered because they added playoffs? Get rid of the league cup that no one cares about, move the league fixtures into those old LC spots. You only need three matches if you go one and done. Top eight teams like in NBA/NHL make it. One and done. No legs, no agg. Final top eight standings determined by winner, 2nd place, winner of 3rd, loser of 3rd place playoff. Then 4-8 could be GD. Gives every team something to play for all year. Midtable teams pushing for that 8th spot, get a chance to compete for the trophy. Best team isn't always the team in first. I'll f*** off. I'm just saying, is all. http://www.hwaetglennabolas.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/what.gif Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

relámpago blanco Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Should just be the top placed teams from The North West, North East, Midlands and South in a knockout tournament of 4 with a 3rd/4th placed playoff. Winner gets the Premier League title, 2nd and 3rd Champions League Group stages, 4th placed has the bad luck of having to go through the CL Qualifcation stage.

TRC Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 At least an All Star game between North and South. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 The FA didn't listen to my idea about scrapping the Charity Shield and having the Premier league winners versus the England team so they wont listen to this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 At least an All Star game between North and South. Would love an all star game. Skills showcase, crossbar or free kick challenge would be fun, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Depends what you want innit. Playoffs are fun, a great spectacle etc. They don't give you the best team in the league, but they give you the team that performs the best against top opposition, with a heavy sprinkling of random chance. It's not like it's that hard to comprehend why it's fun. People enjoy the FA cup and the Champions League finals... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Playoffs are the only answer. Fucking boring ass football leagues these days*. *If Leicester win the PL this season I will retract this statement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Playoffs would lead to negative, boring teams winning the league. For example that boring as fuck Chelsea team in Mourinho's first season back would probably have won the league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like it's that hard to comprehend why it's fun. People enjoy the FA cup and the Champions League finals... Which is why we have separate cup competitions. The best team in the country should be decided over the course of a league campaign, as it has been since 1888. Change is it good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Five or ten years ago you might have convinced me given the top 4 monopoly, but this is one of the most unpredictable and balanced Premier League seasons I can remember. Every weekend is interesting. I'm all for giving the FA Cup winner a Champions League place. That would be a great change. I'd also be open to a four team playoff between 4-7 for the last CL spot, since 4th is hardly a champion anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best team in the country should be decided over the course of a league campaign, as it has been since 1888. Change is it good. So as I said, it just depends what you want. You want the categorical best team over 10 months to be the champion, so you go league. Others would prefer the team that can perform in high pressure situations, against the best teams in the league. Both are reasonable enough IMO. Personally, I'm bored as fuck with football, so would take playoffs just for the lols. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I don't know what to argue against there like. If that's such an issue, it seems like a better idea to fix the game, rather than allow it to affect how we structure tournaments. As it stands today, if a team has found a way to beat another team, I don't have any problem with how they do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I'd prefer a team to win the league that had flair and creativity rather than a counter attacking team with a good defence winning it which would probably be the case a lot of the time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 If that's the case why don't Chelsea win the cup every single season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
