Fugazi Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 The European Golden Boot race has dried up somewhat since the new year, when you consider the way Ronaldo/Saurez/Costa were going a few months back: http://i.imgur.com/9q25Tsv.png Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Just reading the 'On this day in history' part of .com and noticed this comment after our game against Heerenveen Coach Gertjan Verbeek said: About Shearer and his retirement plans: "If he wants to play on a lower level, he can come to Heerenveen,. He does not have to train so much - we will spare him for the games. He's a great player and very important for Newcastle still. At his age, it is fantastic." Should have swapped him for Huntelaar I caught Huntelaar's man of the match flowers that he threw into the Newcastle end over there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Liked the FA Cup Winner v 4th place for CL spot if the FA Cup Winner isn't already qualified for the CL anyways as they're used to being. Would make the FA Cup even bigger than it already is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Not sure if I agree with scrapping replays, as the whole point of a cup run for lower league teams is the money it brings and this often from them earning a replay away at a Premier League team or whatever. Perhaps a system where teams can agree before the fixture to bin off the replay if it's mutually sought to do so? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a system where teams can agree before the fixture to bin off the replay if it's mutually sought to do so? personally I'd say if a lower league was drawn against a prem (lets say league 1 and below) they get the choice of venue (ie home or away) instead of it being predrawn and keep the entire gate revenue (prem clubs don't need it) to make up for no replays Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
