    Champions League Qualifying – Who could we be playing?

    think you will find there are 15 3rd qualifying round ties. The winners of thes 15 matches will go into the play offs with the 5 teams you list. Don't know whether all 10 play-off ties are seeded, but whatever there are plenty of other opponents avaialble: check...

    Some thoughts on this season.....and beyond

    there are points that we've dropped that we shouldn't have, but you can say that for all our rivals. we have also picked up points that we shouldn't have, eg Birmingham & Sunderland at home.

    Taking on the top 4

    I agree with you 100% - Spurs have been too quick to sack certain managers, but I think they are not alone in this: in fact it is exceptional (Moyes at Everton, as you say, is a good example) for clubs to stick by a manager during a prolonged bad patch. But it is untested how the really...

    Man City (A): Stoof's Shout

    interesting comments about keepers. Each of Sullivan, Robinson, and (not so much) Walker had spells of absolute excellence, followed by cataclismic (sp?) fallability, from which Sullivan & Walker never truly recovered, and the jury is still out on Robinson (who admittedly was inspired for...

    New Year's resolutions?

    agree that football could learn a lot from rugby as far as respecting ref is concerned. whatever rules are in place it is vital that there is consistency (or at least intention of consistency) every ref can make mistakes. temp subs for blood injuries works well in rugby too - would have given...
