Live Match Discussion 2017/18

I'm really enjoying this game. Levante are playing with so much freedom.
 
5-4 Suarez Penalty

Coutinho & Boateng are going to have fight over the match ball they both have hattricks
 
Ruben Rochina has come on for Levante... thought he was still at Blackburn

Play-offs were bought in for financial gain only, obviously I don't need to explain that. I've just never got my head round how a team that could finish potentially 20 points behind 3rd place could go up after being so blatantly second rate (compared to 3rd place) all season. It's shit. We finished 6th, 17 points behind 3rd but we go up while they stay down.

Of course I've seen seasons where the playoffs offered hope but Bolton and Palace put paid to any love I had for them and to be fair it made me hate them even more. If you're the third best team in the league you go up, if you're the sixth best team you don't. Seems pretty simple to me. It's not rewarding failure but it's potentially rewarding mediocrity.

If you're that much better then beat the apparently rubbish 6th placed team over two legs. Can't be that hard, can it.

Just to pick an example, we'd have had absolutely nothing to play for in 2003 if there were no playoffs, we were way too far behind come December/January. What you have had us do for the rest of the season? And did you feel at the time that our promotion was sullied because we beat Reading and Sheffield United in the playoffs, and they both finished above us?

As for Bolton - we finished below them in 1994/95. So there you go, the better team won, as happens most of the time anyway. As already shown, 6th place in the Championship hasn't gone up since 2010.
 
A crazy day

Hibernian 5 - 5 Rangers
Tottenham 5 - 4 Leicester City
Levante 5 - 4 Barcelona
 
I love the play offs but hate two legs. The national league have it right for me. Advantage to the teams finishing highest
 
Can see this going all the way to penalties tonight.
 
Good chance for Sessegnon wasted. At least Fulham are putting their corners in the box tonight too.
