I love the concept of relegation, as it keeps the crap teams from stinking up the pristine, free-from-hooliganism and official incompetence for at least one year. 
You're new to this, aren't you, Jim?!
Is this Tall Guy's four-year-old son posting? The Tall Guy that I admire and respect and who swills Newcastle Brown and has a delusional love of Morricone would certainly understand the concept of sarcasm.
Come on you, pukes! Let's get this thread going! Even the friggin' Snooker topic has more posts than this!
Snooker's grrreat! And I can't help it - every time I open the thread, I see the words "slay Leeds United" and the blue devils take over...
Today's the most important day in the English football calendar - FA Cup Final day. It should start with It's A Knockout, followed by a 3pm kick off between two teams with the local butcher and perhaps a paint company owner as the chairmen, with players called Hunter and Styles and Yeats kicking the stuffing out of each other towards a dull 1 - 0 win. Not a 5.15 kick off between teams owned by foreign oligarchs with players called Drogba, Skertl, Cech and Reina. OK, the last ten minutes were quite exciting, thanks to a good old donkey of an English centre-forward coming on and muscling the fancy dans out of the way, but each cup final day just gets more depressing.
Jim, I apologise for missing the sarcasm - but never underestimate the support I'll give my crap team! My boss knows that if he wants to get me on a hook and reeled in, all he has to do is mention "Dirty Leeds" - and I fall for it every time. x

I'm glad to learn you've finally let go of that disappointment from 1975, TG!
I still burn inside from 1970, 1973, 1973 again and 1975. If I were a bit older, I'd also burn inside from 1965. Fortunately, in my lifetime, my team has won the league three times, the FA Cup and the League Cup and two European trophies.
Could have been much more, but it's still more than most can say (not you, McGann!)

I would give Bayern slightly better odds for taking the CL this year. But of course I was sure Barcelona would walk all over Chelsea too...
As for the Premiership this season. Really no one to root for.
Normally I'd love to see the underdog take the price instead of Man U. But City is suck a bloated, extravagant mess filled with egocentric, unprofessional players.
Ballotelli should be working in a circus!
