A Thought Or Two

The play-offs are so much more exciting than the Champions League knockout stages because, in part, there is no away goals rule. Discuss. If necessary that is, it seems self-evident to me.

While I'm here, Sheffield United have a lot of sympathy within the game over the whole Tevez business but they're doing their best to lose it. If their chairman wants to press for 21 clubs in the Premiership next season he can, but saying this is "the simplest solution" is an insult to the intelligence of anyone listening.
