Well Subway is a shite American sandwich chain and if Graham Arnold is lucky, he might get a job there.

That help?

I haven't read up on the new format, but aye, what the fuck is that. That's not a competition, it's the back of a band's Coldplay/Taylor Swift double headline tour t-shirt. 

 

[Dazzler 9742]

The fact that the fixtures are still seeded - so the big boys get more of the easier/favourable draws renders this format completely fucking pointless.

 

May as well knock the knockout stages on the head and just have it so you play the same amount of games as you would in the old format (13 I think), the match draw is completely random and whoever has the most points after that wins the trophy. This would be completely shit but at least makes a bit of sense. Even up the number of games to 15 or something.

 

This is just a more convoluted way to get to the same end result - making sure the big teams make it through at the expense of the teams they wish weren't there.

[Optimistic Nut 145]

I don't mind it. Big clubs can't just stroll the last game or two with a scratch team anymore because they risk losing a top 8 spot and having to go into a Play-Off. 

 

You also get a lot more "big" games early on with the top seeds playing two other top seeds, as well as giving the usual whipping boys a chance of actually winning a game or two by having two games more at their level guaranteed (as well as the games against the elite). When was the last time Celtic won a Champions League game nevermind scoring 5?

 

Happy to give it a chance, the group stages in the CL as it stood were dull as fuck.

There isn't a person on this forum wouldn't rather attend that, than go and see The Muffled Jackhammers or whoever you've got on your rotation this week.

Decent name for a band that, nice one Scotty.

[Dr Gloom 21915]

I went to a sloth sanctuary when I visited Costa Rica. Always thought that would make a good name for a metal band 

[Alex 35077]

On that TOTP podcast Taylor Parks was going on about how Fine Young Cannibals and Fun Lovin’ Criminals are both shit names. But if you swapped over the last word you’d have two good ones. Fun Lovin’ Cannibals in particular  

[wykikitoon 20129]

Fuck me, I've just seen a Skechers Slip ins advert with Harry Kane, Jamie Redknapp and Snoop Dogg  

Hearing Kane try and say Skechers Slip In's  Some mother fucker is having a right laugh.

This is totally entirely not suspect

[PaddockLad 17246]

Think my favourite goal outside Ginola’s is Collymore’s.  Pity he was touched in the fuckin heed he’d have been some player if he’d been able to focus on football and not concentrate so much on his MH…he was fuckin brilliant on his day… 

[MMXXVIII 1293]

How the fuck is Fowler's in there?!

 

Sir Les v Coventry and his solo effort against Bolton are just two from us that are better than that.

[RobinRobin 11263]

Good to see plucky Liverpool feature so much

It's not unprecedented. The bloke who is owner of Nottingham Forest is also the owner and president of Olympiacos

[Craig 6682]

Strong rumour that Man City have won their APT case. Game changer for us if that's the case.

[Gemmill 44853]

Is this footballinsider247 strong, or even stronger than that? 

[Craig 6682]

Nothing substantial. Rumblings from someone who is reporting on the PL AGM. Could turn out to be bollocks

[Gemmill 44853]

Let's get some screenshots baby!

Negative. You can search for midget porn all by yourself.

I can't be held responsible if you equate 'strong rumour' to actual news

[Gemmill 44853]

Screenshot the rumourmonger, monger. 

 

It's footballinsider247, isn't it?
