English Football 2015-16 - Leicester City won the league - Page 785 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

It's an obvious penalty no matter who the teams are. You can't have players jumping to block balls with their arms flung in the path and the hope that if they succeed it will be waved off as "accidental".

I actually agree in principal buy I've seen far more egregious instances go unpunished in the past few years. The way the game is called, that never goes as a pen.

We weren't great but they never looked like scoring. Pen was a pen.

Players coming back, schedule soft and we typically crush in the 2nd half of seasons. Oh yea.....and we have KLOPP.

This playing near full teams in Mickey Mouse competitions bull**** just has to stop. Firminho and Benteke especially - who Klopp himself has can't play 2 games/week in his current state - should not have started on Thursday and looked gassed today.

Fantastic set of results for us this weekend, mind. Only 4 points behind Arse and 2 points behind the almighty Spuds.

We only struggled because we should have won the home games but since we only won one of those we were forced to take a strong side to Russia.

Higher likelihood of small trophies

vs

higher likelihood of getting more PL/CL money > higher (aka less small) likelihood of binking a PL title or CL.

Whatever rocks your boat I guess

That's modern PL football. Teams would rather finish 6th than make a decent stab at the europa league, for the money of course, and the fans have somehow bought into it.

Quitting on the Europa League is an horrible strategy if you are a bunch of points behind top 4. Even if we are only thinking about playing CL.

Ideally the incentive would be the same, as it is in the best interest of the league to have teams making out of the group stages and through at least a round of the knock out stages. But it would be weird for Premier League prize money to be based on other competitions.

free tip guys

sunderland play at arsenal next, where they will obviously get tonked and all of the optimism of 2 on the trot will be gone. after the game, bet them to stay up. primary reasons being:

1. It's Sunderland. No matter how much you think they will go down or want them to, they don't.
2. FAT SAM

Alright Fan, I did some research and you're obv a decent sized sportsbetter and well respected (should have just told me to look up Zeestein and I wouldn't have dragged it out so long!) so with that plus I can't imagine you'll roll the whole thread means I'm ok with no escrow for the 1k fpl bet. Didn't sound like you were worried about me either so QTB...
