That is the point I'm trying to make, keeping the current set up but making it absurdly favour the 4th best team in Germany or England etc over legitimate winners of other leagues does no credit to anyone particularly in that as said is just delaying the inevitable European super league whilst stealing away the magic YKWIM of a giantkilling or unexpected minnow run.
I'd rather the European super league happen sooner than later and save UEFA rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic

Chelsea looking very sharp today which is blooming lovely but also gave me 40 points on Predictor (plus I got 40 points for Everton vs Stoke). Great afternoon - now let's see what Hull & MUFC can do!

Looked way worse than it was, and to be fair to Barton he didn't make a meal of it.
I'd have taken a point before kick off, but feel we were very unlucky not to win. Despite their millions, Rangers are a very poor side.
Lovely of their fans to remind us of the bigoted song book we've been deprived of for so long. I'll never understand what King Billy and Derry's walls have to do with fitba.

Aye, viewers at home got the full songbook. But when a mic caught a player swearing they were quick to apologise for the foul language.
Mind you, the BBC at least mentioned it

A 3-2 victory today for Forfar Athletic v Elgin City, which also won me some money - both teams to score and Forfar to win at 5/2 
In amateur football world a decent 4-3 home victory, both teams played well and I'll admit we were luck to get the win, and we've now scored more goals in the 3 games this season than we did in the first half of last season.

Elgin City.
I was on holiday on a Greek Island about 20 years ago when I saw a chap at the bar in the hotel were we where staying wearing a football shirt. For the life of me I couldn't recognise the badge. So of course, as one does on holiday, started a footy conversation with him. It was an Elgin shirt. With great pleasure he explained that they are one of the crappiest teams in all of Scottish/British football and that supporting them was never ending despair. He wasn't far wrong. But I still look out for their results to this very day.

Lol, yeah and it only took them 92 minutes to score. Against Hull.
Polishing the trophy cabinet might be seen by some as premature.

10 men behind the ball Hull for most of the time. Last season we would have got done on the break and lost 1-0. Good to see we can have the lions share of the possession and turn it into 3 points.

English Premier League is mostly dull. Sky have convinced many people that it's not. They are wrong.
