  1. I feel Barca are beatable this time around. I didn't in 09. Looking forward to it though and also glad I didn't book to go to Slane for Kings Of Leon.
  2. Originally posted by iTim:[..] That said, Puyol is pretty versatile in defence but I don't believe left back is his strongest position.


    absolutely and with him in left back the center is weaker for sure; i would not trust much on Mascherano in that position .. he could easily end with a red card
  3. WEST BROMWICH ALBION HAVE ANOTHER LEAGUE IN THE ENGLISH PREMIERSHIP !!!!

    BOING BOING!!

  4. I am so sad!
    My Team FC Sankt Pauli (Germany 1 Bundesliga has gone!
    Now 2 Germanv Bundesliga.
  5. Belgian competition is hilarious.


  6. I still don't get it, what's with the total points of all teams in group I or something? Is there some explanation available on how that works Looks like some weird type of sports.
  7. Pff 2-0 ahead and than lose with 3-2 The cup is for Twente, now lets grab the League


  8. If the league goes to the best team around, it's gonna go to Twente too.


  9. Does the best team always win?
    And today both had enough chances to score, but Twente was a bit luckier.

    Yeah well I could give you an explanation that's as long and difficult as an explanation for our political situation.
    We're a country of comedians.

    Basically: ...

    The league runs as standard, each team plays home and away against the other teams. 16 teams in the league, 30 games each. At the end of the season the league is split (Similar to Scotland) into 3 separate play-offs. The top 6 teams play against each other twice to determine the champions. However in the interests of a more competitive round of play-offs or a fairer round of play-offs, each team has their points total halved. So an 8 point lead becomes a 4 point lead.

    Teams placed 7th-14th enter a different round of play-offs and these determine the Europa League qualifiers. They are split into 2 groups, A and B. They play each other twice and their points start again from 0. The winner of group A plays the winner of group B and the winner of the overall play-offs play the team that finished 4th in the first set of play-offs. The winner of the 'final' then claims the last remaining European place.

    Finally, the bottom two teams enter a third play-off and play each other 5 times, however, the team that finished 15th starts with a 3 point lead. The team that has the least points is relegated to the 2nd division and the winner enters another play-off with the promotion contenders from the 2nd division.

    Simple? No. Fair? Debatable.

    Thanks, clear to me now! Except for the third paragraph, it's clear, but how the hell did they came up with something like that.
