There aren't actually all that many players who have made the move from SPL to EPL. Still, the point about having to go back a few decades is a fair one, you spoil it by saying they would struggle to avoid relegation as every single one of those players was playing top half football during...

Well, if Benfica and Sporting qualify, it is undeniable that they won't play on the same day and one of the games will be moved. It could be just to the day before, and probably will be, but this is UEFA we're talking about here, and the Portuguese police will have their say as both sets of...

Ok, what I probably meant was that kick off times would be split so someone could watch two of the games live

It's a good point about the seeding, so a day apart would make sense, and would have no impact on the home leg date. *Although it's UEFA so you can't rule anything out ......

West Ham, Liverpool and Brighton are all scheduled to play the home game on same day. Every chance the tv companies will move one of them so they can show two games live rather than just the one

The issue would be Sporting and Benfica both in the next round, not Braga which is a long way away. If both teams were through there is a good chance they would swop home and away legs of one of the teams, like they did when Arsenal and Chelsea were set to play a Europa League game at home on...

Love the Fast Show, but surely has to be Peep Show, doesnt it? Absolutely brilliant.

I think I'd rather watch an episode of the Office - but have voted for the Young Ones because it was such a revolutionary show. And because of the song they did with Cliff Richard.

I could see us signing an Italian or three

I can certainly see Bournemouth being good enough to finish top half. Not sure about Fulham. Also expect Newcastle to get back into top 5 contention.

Heres a decent XI of players who moved from the SPL to EPL Fraser Forster Nathan Patterson, David Weir, Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson Stiliyan Petrov, Victor Wanyama, John McGinn Paolo di Canio, Mark Viduka, Steven Fletcher Not a bad team that.

I don't quite get the second rule. Is the referee duty bound to stop the game after 15 seconds? If so, isn't the player lying on the ground achieving exactly what he originally intended, to get the game stopped? What if a team is counter attacking and the opposition striker is lying on the...

Looked Into this a bit further: If more than one club from the same city, or within a radius of 50km (31 miles) of each other, is taking part in any of the UEFA club competitions and/or plays in the same stadium, and if the association and the clubs concerned explicitly declare when entering...

Undav was barely given a chance, was only given 6 starts in the premier league - and he scored 4 goals in those 6 matches. He might have been good enough with more opportunity

So if both Benfica and Sporting Lisbon win their play off match they'll be scheduled to play their last 16 match on the same night in stadiums two miles apart. Imagine the scramble for flight and hotel tickets if their opponents are Brighton and West Ham :oops:

Pathetic failure to recognise a good coach just because of personal animosity

That's great. I think Potter was a great coach because he made the team better than the sum of its parts through good coaching - and i think that's true of all the good coaches - but if what he says of RDZ Is true, he doesn't just make the team better, but he makes all the individuals better...

That's not a bad floor at all, third successive season top half, and to do it with the injuries we have, without half of last years first XI, in a development season for so many of the squad, would be a pretty decent result.

Guardian, Independent, Metro all lead with this story, unsurprisingly. Telegraph on the other hand has seven different stories on its front page but not this one. Also not on front page of the Times, nor any of the tabloids. Express does give it space to be fair. The 'news' is far more...

We'll always have Marseille
