KaKa Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Just been watching bits from the Man Utd game. Wan Bissaka was terrorising them as a left wing back for West Ham Lost count of the number of players that left there and turn into twice the player elsewhere. Crazy.

Superior Acuña Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I see it was technically correct but im not having that disallowed Palace goal for offside - he’s standing in his own half! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when he has had such a long career there. They paid nowt for him and why should he give up money so FSG can bank it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Before he left Arsenal I thought Nketiah had something about him and given the chance had the potential to be a good goal scorer. He doesnt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 130 years of professional football in this country and only since VAR has been introduced have such incidents been deemed offside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely Content Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Watching Sheffield United - Bristol City and Vinicius Souza would be an interesting proposition for us as midfield reinforcement. Probably as close to Joelinton in terms of style of play and stature I've seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not as easy fixture as you all are making out. Foxes will be gunning for it to give them something to cheer about!

Doubt it though. I don't mind the Blades, but would love to see Cov back in the PL. After losing so unfortunately in the play-off final in 2023 and being cheated out of an FA Cup final in 2024, they deserve a break on the third time of asking.

toon25 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Fucking pathetic from Bristol City, that. Is that all the Champo has to offer? Relegated PL sides will be cleaning up the automatic promotion spots for years at this rate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Realistically considering how bad Bristol City have been and how often that team that finishes in that position actually manages to get promoted. How about scrapping the play offs and making whoever finishes 3rd in the championship have a two legged game against whoever finishes 18th in the Premier League. Would be interesting to see how often the Championship team in 3rd is better than the Prem team in 18th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go further. 3 up 3 down and 4th&5th top play 4th&5th bottom either 2 legs or 1 neutral final to swap or keep places. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) Think that's done in some European leagues like thr Bundesliga iirc. I don't have a problem if the 18th placed Prem team were any good or atleast a good day out for away fans to visit again. But imagine it was fucking Southampton again and they beat Coventry. Fuck going down to their place again for a 1230pm Saturday game or 8pm Monday night football in December to play the shittest of the shittest.

The play-offs aren't really for the excitement of the play offs themselves (although that is fun), it's to keep the league active from January onwards for the middle of the league. If only the top 3 go up you basically have loads of teams with no chance of going up and no chance of going down for half the season. The play-offs are great for keeping things active, reducing dead rubbers and make the Championship a much more interesting league in general. They have the relegation play off in Germany (16th Vs 3rd) and it is shit. The Bundesliga team always wins (12 out of 15 occasions I believe since it was introduced in 2009) because they're much stronger. It would be even worse in the PL because of the financial gulf - you'd basically just be making it even harder for teams to go up and reduce it to effectively two up/two down.
