Both of those things won't happen, but 6th place Chelsea stealing the Spurs CL spot in 2012 was amazing.

It was pretty brutal because Fox Sports had Brad Friedel working as a pundit for that game and you could tell everyone was really uncomfortable talking about it afterwards lol

there's also King and Gray ahead of Walcott this year

Big Troy Deeney should get a shot but that probably won't happen within a month of him being pepper sprayed by police or w/e that nonsense was

Klopp's 13pts clear thanks to video ref

Every team that goes deep into the European competitions complains about fixture scheduling (myself included), and fans of all their rivals laugh at them (myself included). Especially if you're competing on 3+ fronts. I think there was a point last season when if we went further in the FA cup there wouldn't have been enough weeks to fit in all the fixtures without moving a bunch of stuff around.

Yes other leagues (particularly La Liga) do a lot to assist the likes of Real and Barca, but also those teams basically run the league so can dictate terms.

I had no interest in football whatsoever as a child. I then went to Uni in Middlesbrough. Through playing lots of Pro Evo I started to develop an interest and with no real frame of reference I thought Boro were a good team and developed my sickness.

It was the year that we won the league cup, can you blame me? I knew no better.

Also regarding learning it from a video game yeah it was wierd. Everyone in the house played Pro Evo so I had to get into it or have nothing to do. After a couple of months someone turned on an actual game of football and I thought "Wow I understand this now"
