The problem with this approach is the team that finishes third won't have played a match for weeks. It might keep them somewhat fresh but they won't have played any competitive matches, which I would think is a disadvantage.
The "To Avoid Postecoglou Bashing - The Staying Up and Europe Tracker - season 2024-25 Game 38 Update" thread didn't even make it on the Staying Up tracker.
I always wonder how it works with train and bus tickets. I assume they are always going to need at least an extra ticket or two for the camera operator and possibly some security. When they say there are no bus/train tickets available, does it actually mean they don't have four together? It's no...
The team should really be practicing penalties more! That includes Bart, trying to save them.
If we'd won one of these, there's a realistic chance we could have lifted a trophy:
League Cup QF vs Charlton
FA Cup SF vs Man Utd
FA Cup QF vs Forest
A very enjoyable season, a solid 4/5 for me. My personal highlights from the few games I was able to go to:
1. The comeback 3-2 win against Spurs. A cracking game with a cracking atmosphere in the second half. I'm glad I booked my flight back for the Monday, so I could make it for this one.
2...
I was just reading about that. 15 points clear of 4th place in January. Lost out on automatic promotion after a 96th minute winner for Bradford. Then they lose in the playoff final.
The definition of choking.
Thanks as always @Giraffe for keeping the tracker going. :clap2: What a great finish to the season, going over the Europe tracker for the first time since late November.
Are you going to take the lucrative contract to do the tracker for the Club World Cup in the summer?
Carlisle away in 2010. A long journey for a 0-0 draw. Lots of beers consumed on the way up, and I remember one guy being so hammered he chundered in the middle of the road on the walk to the stadium. An entertaining day out (if you exclude the football).
