I find it a bit confusing nowadays this other rule of six - somebody needs to come up with an acronym of those 6 so its clear which teams they are as its not looking like the top six anymore.
TALC MM or MC MALT - are those the right 6 ???
Its probably also been covered on this thread but it is completely unfair for smaller clubs who will rarely be picked for matches whose fans might have to fork out almost every week compared to the TV darlings links Liverpool, Manchesterx2 and Leeds who are on TV every week.
