Maybe nick was right we shouldnt have a different thread for every different topic. so Lets use this as a general discussion about all aspect of Ball.
What are you opinions on the 39th Game?

The FA want to to have a 39th EPL game oversees. All Epl teams go into a hat and drawn. then they get drawn a country and go play. Which means for example that last year chelsea could have won the league cause they could have played Fulham for the 39th game and united could have played arsenal.................BULLSHIT.
oh ya fuck man im sleeping this morining - might help Spurs to stay up bud so i cant complain..hehehe
I agree with you tho im not too crazy bout it as if the season wasnt long enough already? Could decide the title or who stays up i dont like the idea of changing something that has worked for so long..dont they have enough money anyways? Would it be the same watching United Liverpool at loftus park as it would at OT or Anfield...i dont think so?
Guess it would be nice tho for those who could neva afford to go to see em over there thats the only positive thing...
Do you guys reckon a bookie would give you odds on an English team winning the CL, id like to take that bet?
Thanks Rafa, better to rather put a bit on each team i fancy i guess...
My idea for a European Super League Fucking Rocks this is how a current top 4 season looks.
EPL = 38 Games
Champs League = 13
FA cup = 6 Games
League Cup = 6
Plus a charity Shield = 1
Thats a total of 64 Games the team that finishes 3/4 play an extra 2 plus internationals which are 8 or 10 games im not sure about this. bringing the total to 76/78 games.
So my idea the winners of the top 16 ranked countries in UEFA qualify for the ESC European Super Cup and they play each other twice (home/away) and it starts the same time as the EPL and there players get exempt from internationals (this is not a big loss to a national team maybe 2/3 players)
so thats
EPL = 38 games
ESC = 30 games
FA cup = 6 games
NO league CUP
Thats 74 games in total games (maybe they actually can play half the internationals.)
Then teams positioned 2-5 teams go to Champions League ect ect. This is shit hot idea come on platini listen to me haha
Lads please read this article (it aint long) and see what this Spurs fan says about Spurs - it is exactly what i have been saying and why we struggling...

Geez Pete are you sure you didnt write the article that spot on what you have been saying.
I would personally like to see the CL changed a bit...i honestly think the groups have become a joke as Spurs would beat a lot of the teams
I think it should be top class teams only based on a points system say to see who qulifies regardless of what country they from, wouldnt you much rather see a group stage of a mix of these teams 4 groups of 4 class teams fuck the rest! 2 go thru to a quarter final..
Group A Goup B Group C Group D
United Chelsea Liverpool Arsenal
Inter Milan Roma Juventus
Valencia Barca Real Madrid Athletico
B. Munich Shalke Lyon Zenit
Wouldnt it make the groups so much more intense and exciting? Anyways still if the format stayed i would have more teams from England, Spain Italy etc just a thought..
Napa it honestly blows my mind bud we would never be in this situation if he was playing the right team this is how i would play our team in the league all the time 4-1-4-1
Gomes
Hutton(when fit)/Gunter,King(when fit)/Corluka,Woodgate,Bale
Zokora
Lennon,Bentley,Modric,dos Santos
Pav/Bent
With Modric dictating in the middle Bentley wide right dos Santos wide left and Lennon drifting across the middle running on to some thru balls...Fuk i am convinced i would do a better job than Ramos at picking a team every week!

That sounds frustrating. Ramos must be doing this for a reason, problem is its fucking up your results and putting you in a bad position and just creating pressure. He reminds me like Rafa when he first took over. Rafa wasnt that bad but i remember our league results were shocking and our performances even worse, i just couldnt understand some of his decisions. Spanish managers must have some sort of technical philosophy (too technical).. they dont seem to understand the premier league (or at least at first) or maybe the players don't understand him. But you are talking about 2 very successful managers from their previous clubs so they must know something.</p></div></div>
but what baffles me Rafa is it actually isnt a thing of understanding the EPL it is simple football knowledge and tactics...the teams he puts out wont work in any league whether it was Spain, England or Italy the teams he has been playing dont make sense?
It does give me some comfort what you say about Rafa but nothing can excuse his performance as a manager, any top class manager should play his best team all the time with little rotation as that fucks up consistancy...fuck me is this so hard to fucking understand?
Please tell me how you change a line up that held Chelsea failry easily away and was by far our best performance?
Blah Blah Rafa is the best Blah blah all the same rafalution
I wish it was actually of just playing his best all the time but he doesnt fucking know what the best team is...thats the problem! hopefully he learns very quickly anyways thanks for the input ;)
