If we go by the the best teams over the course of the season deserve to go up then whichever way you organise the play offs is unfair. \The top three teams over 46 games go up is the only fair way of doing it. obviously not every season will those in 6,5, or 4 have an advantage, but as happens...

It is inherently unfair that the team in third usually is fighting to the last day of the regular season, risking injury, tiredness etc while those teams in 4, 5 and 6 are often set a week or so before and can rest players, take it a bit easy. And when 3 is a substantial number of points ahead...

i especially liked the seamless transport bit

I think Worthing are playing West Ham in pre season

Wolfsburg are a mid table Bundesliga club, a good test for a mid table prem league club the week before the season starts. . Its hard to see what clubs would count as impressive for some these days. We are used to some of the biggest clubs in the world rocking up every other week and getting...

a long time ago I was a cinema manager, and held press screenings for The Argus, leader, Mid sussex tmes etc. These normally happened early morning before, or late at night after, the cinema was open to the public. I had to sit through some terrible films but the undoubted worst was Thomas The...

well thats more money from Chelsea coming into The Albion as I'm sure Caceido, Cucurella and Sanchez would all have had european winners clauses written in

The thread has gone a little of topic, so getting back on track, is there any news regarding what UEFA are going to do regarding Palace playing in the Europa league? The rules seem to be that they cant currently due to the ownership issue, so at some point fairly soon decisions need to be made

I disagree, @Giraffe first post says the "easiest way" (at least on paper) to get the points is to win the home games against the bottom 10 and draw the away games and so that is the basis for allocating points on the tracker. BUT it does not say they are the predicted results- I dont think...

its not a points predictor, and has never claimed to be. It just gives a match by match snapshot of how we are doing at any given time taking into account the perceived difficulty of games played. There are too many variables to enable a prediction of all 38 games before a ball is kicked, and no...

one of the best threads on NSC, it keeps us grounded when we have a run of great results, and keeps us from despair when the opposite is true. I am firmly in the "if it aint broke, don't fix it camp" but in common with posts above think the European tracker is probably set too low, so a slight...

Here is the full list- pretty impressive...

Thats another cheque coming in the post from Liverpool

I was about to start watching season 3, but i dont think ill bother now. The first two were enjoyable enough , but the whole thing is so long it was always unlikely to last the course. It seems an awful lot of money to spend and not finish the project, and tbh that was always the likely outcome...

im sure there will be the usual comments of " ah but they get paid enough" but thats not the point, the internationals, playing for clubs in European or other confederation tournaments have basically not had proper breaks since covid. Im convinced this is the reason for the apparent increase in...

And from the top down...

I disagree- they won the FA Cup, whether we like it or not that is an achievement, something we would love to do, and not one of us would say, actually we had an easy draw and don't deserve to be in Europe if we won it. You can only beat the teams that you are drawn against, and Palace did...

Unfortunately there are a lot of people who can be "professionally offended" and go out of their way to ensure that they get themselves into positions which enable them to be offended and then escalate to ensure they can react and become the "victim", film it and post on Social Media. Im sure...

has to be Spurs to win for me, mainly because the entitled Utd Fans(Mark Goldbrige etc) will be a total joy to watch, and it will piss of the super entitled Arsenal Fans at the same time.
