Wan't it something to do with all the European journalists and UEFA officials coming from European countries that are on our amber or red lists?

There was a study about teams in red & white stripes, and black shorts being awful in play-offs, your team, mine and Sunderland mentioned. Obvious errant nonsense, but I'm willing to play in just red for next season, just in case.

They finished bottom of League 2 last season.
What should have happened is the winners of the Highland League (Brora Rangers) play the winners of the Lowland League (Kelty Hearts) in a playoff to then play the bottom of League 2 to try and win promotion, however all the playoffs last season were cancelled so Brechin survived.
This season Brechin finished bottom again while both the Highland and Lowland Leagues got about 3 games completed in between starting late and the season being suspended in January for 2 months. As Kelty Hearts and Brora Rangers were sitting top both leagues declared them as champions rather than null and voiding the season, with the view being that doing so righted the wrong of them not getting an opportunity to get promoted last season.
Brechin tried to argue that both leagues should have been voided and thus no play offs.

Ole has made 10 changes for today against Leicester. If Leicester win and then Manure recall the big guns on Thursday there’ll be a lot of peed off scousers, which is never a bad thing.
Yep. Am also totally up for them moving the final away from Wembley to accommodate the Champions League.

Totally against this. Deny EFL clubs a day at Wembley in favour of two clubs that recently tried to abandon the pyramid?nah

That's sounding a lot like something not unadjacent to socialism, comrade.

seems from a quick scan of the table that Falkirk got a bum deal last season

They did, as did Partick Thistle who were relegated last season despite having a game in hand.
Falkirk blew this season in spectacular fashion, they were 5 points clear about a month ago and missed out on the playoffs altogether.

Haha. Its more we've earned it (if we get there).That's sounding a lot like something not unadjacent to socialism, comrade.
Tbh we play at Wembley so often I can take it or leave it. But it would be a bit of a slap in the face wouldn't it?

Plymouth Argyle, or Plymouth in general, doesn’t make the national news very often so we have to savour it. Yesterday season tickets for next season went on sale and they failed to direct people to differentiate between the ticket queue and the people having the Covid jab. Most people having the Covid jab are not familiar with Home Park and have no interest in football. As a result many arrived and assumed the ticket queues were for the Covid jab and had a bit of a surprise when they reached the front of the queue.

Opinion is divided. He wants to play like Man City, which is not possible at this level and we conceded a hell of a lot of stupid goals. I don’t think he’d go to Tranmere. I think he might end up at Preston or Blackburn at some point.

His estimation of himself is quite high. I definitely don’t think he would drop down a division, but if Tranmere get promoted and wanted him I’m sure he’d be tempted.

He's got promoted twice though has he not? Bit of an asterisk beside both given one was with Bury and the other was on PPG, but still.

It was easier to play out from the back in League 2 last season than League 1 this season. Maybe just a case of being punished more often when losing possession, which happens more often than not.

Yeah neither of them count
