Can I say thank you to @Bozza for shutting down threads and removing posts with some of the most bizarre conspiracy theories and accusations I have ever seen. It is time we got back to sensible debate on NSC.
Just as a matter of interest, who was it who suggested that @Bozza had been paid off by...
Man City v Bayern Munich
Chelsea v Real Madrid
Man U v Seville
3 games home and away this week and next, but what do people think are the best results for the Albion?

When all said and done though, I would rather scrap the rule and just...
Allowing incompetence to carry on happening is a form of corruption. Unless you do something about it you are allowing the situation to become untrustworthy. Just look at the Conservative Party at the moment.
