1st time Fat Waiter talks sense

BBC Sport - Football - Rafael Benitez derides Champions League play-off plan


bring on the hate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I have to say. I agree with the dodgy bearded freak.

He went and ruined it;

"Maybe we can do the same with the teams at the bottom of the table. If you finish fourth maybe you could play with the team who finished third from the bottom.
"Then during the whole season we can play 50 games and we don't have to rest so that will be fantastic."

I think he was being Ironic Dan.

Hard for me to do this, but I defend him on this one.

 

[bluebastardo]

He does have a great point though.
If they had play offs for relegation with the bottom 7, teams would soon realise what a stupid rule it appears to be.

Why 14 teams and not 11?

Kind of the same thing in the football league though isn't it? I mean you could finish 6th in the Championship and get promoted to the Premier League. Surely 3rd place deserve it more don't they?

Hes just a fat Spanish Waiter.

Indeed, he always does it, badly in my opinion.

I tell you what, this time last month, with Liverpool off the pace of 4th by a few points and lying in 7th place, the same feller would have bitten your hand off at the offer of play off games.

Principle and Benitez are complete strangers.

Hard to argue with this call.

We could also ask why only Premiership teams and their European Counterparts are only illegible to qualify for the Champions league or Europa.

You thinking Millwall the season before "Our" skippy come to us?

 

[BlueBucky]

I have to say, I expected that Liverpool were the source of this idea. Maybe they were a few weeks back and are starting to have second thoughts.

Two weeks, they will be solidly behind City, and the line will be "Well, we think that the 4th and 5th teams should playoff."

Didn't they qualify as runners up in the FA cup?

Yes they did. I think they went out first round.
