Proof? This is one game, Totti....
What I've described is the whole reason it was brought in to begin with.
Brentford vs. Swansea was even better. There's two.
Most play off semi finals are great entertainment. Leeds vs. Derby last season was one of the best games I've seen.
The away goal rule if anything just invites defensive negative boring football.
Cardiff disappointed me, just didn't do enough at all and rarely threatened, should have thrown the kitchen sink at Fulham but went with a wimper.
My comment refers to all 2-leg ties..... Why get pre-occupied with the play-offs; they're certainly not central to my preference....
I don't agree.
Because the only two legged tie I can think of at a high level that doesn't include the awful away goals rule in some capacity are the play offs...
Well the play-offs are a precursor to the so-called richest game in football; so it's not suprising that teams often - but not always - go for it (they're also assured to be of the most evenly matched cup ties you're likely to see), but think for a moment about the kind of shit-fest the European cups would be without it...

I don't see why having no away goal rule would make games any less exciting?
It stops an awful team getting absolutely battered for 90 minutes, only to then sneak an own goal off the back of the sub left backs arse and go through on away goals...
What can I say; there's 2 sides to the coin. I've explained my view above (It encourages the home team to press home their home advantage)... No point me trying to hammer you with it.
Very happy with one of Brentford or Fulham going up. On the possibly erroneous assumption that away fans might be allowed at all next season, Brentford would be interesting as a new stadium... although Griffin Park would have been immense. Fulham would see a better allocation and it would be nice for Scotty P to get them back up from the Ranieri relegation fodder he inherited.
Caqueret looks like a serial killer
Did PSG ever make a better signing than Verrartti. Proper fucking footballing busy cunt.
Definitely the best signing anyone has ever made from Serie B
I like Fulham. Onamah, Mitrovich, Kebano. Hope to see them back in. Scott Parker will single handily raise the handsome level PL managers to boot.
Rafael being Rafael
Somewhat related to us, PSG beats Lyon in penalties in the Coupe de la Ligue final which means Lyon misses out and Reims gets the spot in Europa League next season with us.
This is also the first time since 1993 Lyon misses out on European competition, pretty crazy. Edit: Unless Lyon wins the Champions League this season.
