This is perfectly true of course. But it does leave something of a sour taste when a team that is playing what is (for them) a dead rubber decides to go and gift another team the points, right at the sharp end of the season, in a CRUCIAL match.

Massive got beat at mid-table Wolves in their final game of last season, so the game had absolutely no consequence. We can all see the reason why Wanger played the stiffs at Brum, but personally I would feel embarrassed if BHA turned up and threw a game in that manner, when it has such huge...
