Players that tuck their shirt into their shorts tilt me an unreasonable amount.

Bentaleb is our only current offender. Maybe he was a big Scotty P fan.

I mean it's kind of the rule that you have to, no?

I don't like it either though

Pretty sure (primary) cup winners from each country get dropped into the last qualifying round before the group stages

Dear god I have no idea what Son just did. Dribble of the season then we get a shot that goes off both posts. Incredible.

Someone has to vine that sequence.

Think if we get a good home draw for the QF I might have to use some of my travel points and pay my respects to Upton Park

That is correct. I think it might be up to each respective FA to determine how the qualification works.

Edit: Should have F5'd before posting I guess.

Ok, in 2011 that wasn't the case. Guess it got updated.

Is this even correct? Anecdotally, most of my friends don't have CL interest but we'll watch a couple of games per week. If your hypothesis was correct then nobody would actually watch.

FA cup gets EL. What's changed from last year is that the runners up won't get into the EL if the winner has already qualified for the CL/EL via league position.

Fans of non-CL teams obv watch CL football, but my guess is that they wouldn't accept cutting the PL to 18 in order to improve Chelsea's chances in the competition. They might be more willing to accept it to improve England's chances internationally (still don't think it makes much difference personally)

I think that was razor's point

Biggest pre match odds move I've ever seen on the City game.
