I’m not. (Fair point on Belgian league).
I’m not denying it adds something in terms of interest, but take us when we missed out on goal difference, really it wasn’t fair, and the fact we got those injuries in the Sheff Weds game just compounded it, but Iit is just your luck….
But that said, I...
See, the only bit I agree with is that every knows the rules at the start
If you play every team home and away and are the best team over ?38 games, surely by being the best you are the champions. To then belittle everything that’s gone on before, is just wrong in my mind.
Were Leeds miles...
It’s a stupid system IMO.
But do you not think it’s a bit different being the best team over a regular season, rather than getting to and winning the play-offs?
Of course as it’s Leeds it’s different…. 😉
Yes, but isn’t that the point of more CL places and then Europa etc, it keeps it interesting until the end.
Having done the hard bit, it’s pretty galling IMO to then miss out.
Yes, I do, bit of a traditionalist.
I get the whole keeping teams alive and certainly not denying the positive elements that undoubtedly exist in terms of mid-table teams, but for a team in 6th to get promoted over one finishing 3rd isn’t fair in my mind. It’s just luck.
Take Sheff Weds, we’d...
Don’t follow rugby so can’t comment. The US were always going to adopt a similar approach to their other main sports. A league can’t comment…. But the main football leagues do not to the best of my knowledge follow this format.
We’ll just have to disagree, it’s not about the rules being changed...
Only the NFL have 6 separate divisions, not one league, so although I take your point re seedlings, I don’t agree.
To play every team in the league, home and away, finish 10 points clear, have that advantage halved and then potentially get overtaken in a mini tournament doesn’t sit well with me.
Really good performance against Kompany’s Anderlecht, who at times were quite dirty.
Top shithousery from Undav, after Minitoma had been hacked down.
The challenge resulted in a straight red, which Undav applauded and then continued to wave to the player as he left the pitch…
Great effort.
Although the sending off’s were correct IMO, the ref has had an absolute stinker. Surprised he wasn’t asked to review the push on Minitoma, who incidentally looks a really exciting.
Undav has gone off the boil slightly, but he had the assist for the disallowed goal and...
