Easily the least of the evils in that top 6

Fucking hell. Wish Brighton would just disappear out of existence. Every fucking time.

obviously winning 5-0 is good, but mostly pleased that we played well, looked more solid at the back (although I think we just let them have too many shots, but Sheff Wed were too shit to actually take advantage) and back up to 4th we go

the next two matches, away at Fulham and home to West Brom, are going to be big

If that’s the last game of football I see before flu cancels it, I’m going to be vexed.

also a big fan of Brentford scoring more goals this afternoon than all the 3pm Premier League matches combined

The Monk can’t be long for the chop now. They’re utterly appalling.

Was your lunch nice, though?

2 pts away from a playoff spot. Many teams in a similar position but madness considering our form this year.

Woeful battery of games but at leasr there might be an exciting relegation DOGFIGHT this season, with four teams within two points of one another. Only thing salvageable from it really.

is there a FIFA playoff?

That was a nice win, especially as Watford are a pathetic horrible club with their cynical rotational fouling . Hope they go down.

It was. And the half time cheese plate. And a few beers. The match was the only thing that let the day down really.

Mourinho masterclass

I’m at Turf Moor, of course. Spurs look quite good on the counter attack but otherwise rigid and stiff.

what you lot think of the idea of having playoffs like they do in Germany (3rd to last in top division vs 3rd from top in the 2nd tier?

here’s what I’d like to see

3 automatic promotion spots in the championship, then 6th plays 17th in the prem, winner of that plays 5th, winner of that plays 4th for the place in the prem

that would also mean a clear benefit to finishing 4th over 5th and 5th over 6th and make it a proper challenge for whoever finished 17th (in Germany, the team from the higher division only failed to win the playoff once in the last decade)

#3756

Reduce the size of the Prem by 3 first. The bottom of the division is consistently awful, towards the end of the season the middle half has nothing to play for, and it’d ease some of the fixture congestion. Run play-offs between fourth last and fifth last until it’s done.

What you’re mooting sounds like a bit of an arse-ache tbh but I would in theory be supportive of more nuanced play-offs.

I would be in favour of any changes to the playoffs that make Brentford actually able to win them

Would be up for 5 up, 5 down. More relegated teams would make relegation less big a deal and hopefully give the attritional, 17th is success bottom feeders (Burnley, palace, Newcastle, Watford etc) some impetus to have a long term plan, maybe try to win a cup or something.
