I hate the 'its unfair' argument. That's nonsense - the rules are clear at the start of the season. If you enter a competition, you play to those rules. These rules mean that there is no big advantage in finishing 3rd over 6th - no point whining about it. f*** West Ham anyway - if they had appointed a manager with a bit of ability, they wouldn't have needed to worry about which play-off place they finished in.

I love the play-offs. Without them, half the teams in each league would have nothing to play for from February onwards, crowds would be down, and there would be more clubs in financial trouble. Anyone who wants to get rid of them, needs a good think.

If I were to change them at all, in the interests of 'fairness', I'd play the semi-final as just one match, with home advantage going to the higher placed team.

Agree with this - i wouldnt mind Blackpool going up.

If make it 6 teams then NFL system quite decent. Big if though as can't see issue with how it is now.

3rd and 4th get a 'bye'......... 5th home to 8th + 6th home to 7th
3rd home to lowest 'seed' + 4th home to remaining team
2 sides play wembley final

No extra games to now as no double legs.
