HNIC:

Won't work!
Talks about it will evaporate. . . . just like the 39th match did

~Sauron~:

Only the top 4 clubs don't support it.
If the 16 others do, the play-off rule might go through cos you need only 70%.

Emperoh:

That do be injustice at the highest order as i heard 14 out of 20 is neede to make it a law.
Thats like opening a back door for those outta the top four to come in!!
Where were they when the season started? Who would want to play another 3 -4 matches at the end of a season?
Abeg they had better shelve this plan joo!!

I welcome this new rule.
Pathetic clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool will sit up with this schitzo.
I hate the fact that Arsene Wenger can line up mediocre players and still qualify for the UCL week in week out.

Let Arsenal/Liverpool go into play-off games if they finish 4th. . . . .

allboyz:

if this rule come to be. . .pity clubs like Man UTD Coz they will strruggle to qualify for the top 3 in da EPL in few years time. . . .

allboyz:

and for Years we have not failed to Qualify for the UCL. . . .i careless if the rules holds anyways. . . Clubs like Chavz and Manure will cry in the nearest future coz of unity and ageing players!

Sauron,
It's not right.
Teams that have earned the right,no matter how silly they are,to play in the competition should represent England.
How ludicrous is it that a team that finishes seventh in the League ends up in the Champions League?
It will further serve to weaken England in the UEFA club ranking.
It's just another self-serving move by the FA to make money by staging more games.

~Sauron~:

Stop being self-righteous.
Liverpool finished 5th in 2004/5 and still played in the Champions League.

~Sauron~:


Play-Off is the new world order. It's like saying teams that have earned the right in Championship should automatically qualify without play-offs.

~Sauron~:

I am tired of seeing mediocre teams like Arsenal/Liverpool represent England in CL. The managers of these teams are contented in finishing 3rd and 4th without competing for the title. Look at Wenger for instance - he believes finishing 3rd is better than winning a domestic title.

~Sauron~:

Let us have play-offs. Competition brings out the best in football clubs.
If Wenger knows he could miss the money-spinning UCL by playing his embryos and a retarded Fabianski in goal then he would sit tight and invest massively in his club. I welcome the idea with glee. We all complain of a boring summer - it's about time the FA push the envelope.
