The alternative is having half the league play out tawdry, dull games for literally no reason from about October onwards. It's a necessary evil.

Apparently Griezmann was preparing "The Decision : Episode II" and Atletico wouldn't stand for that shit again 😂
I think he's good hearted but he's also a bit dumb and self absorbed.
As someone who has seen play-off losses in both the final and semi final within the last few years, I wouldn't change them for anything.
Everyone enters the season knowing the terms and it keeps the league alive. You get to the final stretch of the season and everyone from 5th to 14th fancies their chances if they can put a run together.
Agree.
Without them you may as well reduce the number of teams in each league as there'd be a huge chunk of teams whose seasons would end a lot sooner if they didn't have the playoffs to push for.
Been that sort of season this year. Weirdly though I'd fancy all 3 promoted side to do better. Villa would be fine, probs mid table. You'd have to assume Norwich will one day go up and not be complete mince, so why not now. I'd fancy Chris Wilder to motivate 11 sloths to enough wins, especially at home. I'm just clinging onto the hope that the courtroom battle that's going on right now between the Blades joint owners derails their plans enough for them to bodge their recruitment.
Speaking of which, it's just come out that apparently United received a £3million loan from the Bin Laden family. Woof.
Better to have the cunt on your side than against you.
Not that I believe it will happen.
Agreed, and I'll be honest, of the three Salah is the best one to 'lose' to another club - as far as the squad goes; Firmino's work ethic is above his, and Mané has matured enough to rival Salah's goal count without the aide of spot kicks. Also, we will absolutely fleece Madrid if this were to happen.
Basically, Salah will probably go to wherever his soulmate Degsy will go.
I can't say I agree with this take, Salah is criminally underrated imo. It's not just the goals, it's also the creativity, Mane doesn't really come close to offering what Salah does in that sense. Salah is both our best goal scorer and our best creator from the front three.
I think Mane's incredible, but it's a lot easier finding a player to replicate what he brings to the side than it is to find one capable of doing what Salah does. He creates and scores at an elite level and that's pretty rare in football, it's normally a case of either/or.

Between this (for supporters and Mkhitaryan), the travel issues, the measly ticket allocation... UEFA really doesn't give a shit.
Liverpool would lose so much losing any one of their front 3. You don't get an attack clicking like that every day.
edit: wrong United. Might be a good avenue for Woodward to pursue though

Joyce saying similar stuff to Ornstein how it will be a pretty quiet summer for Liverpool yes, but the whole "Liverpool only got a transfer budget of £20m" seems to be something Ornstein dreamt up.
The fact Villa are so close to getting promotion once again, is tantalising. And this match against Derby will be absolutely tough. But I'm way more confident in the team and manager this year than I was last year against Fulham (never rated Bruce).
Just have to go once more.

Makes sense not to bang on about deals so we can try to strike a bargain but it'd be mad if we didn't sign at least one striker and one full back.
Also I wish the club would replace Lovren with De Ligt. Won't happen though.
Think we can probably expect a back-up goalkeeper, left back and striker/winger.
Apparently we're interesting in Bristol City's youngster Lloyd Kelly who can play both CB/LB similar to Joe Gomez I suppose.
Honestly the 20 year rematch against Charlton is such a good storyline. I think this second season is gonna be pretty great.
Yeah well done and all but you won't be truly considered one of the greats until you retain this title.Almost a year after winning the Era World Cup Fantasy league, Syder takes home another title

Oh snap, I got the same number of points as the lad in third.
