Saturday Night Random Thoughts

As I was watching today’s fixtures (trying to savoUr since there is NO FOOTY tomorrow), I came up with another of my good goddamned ideas.

In France and I think Germany, they add another wrinkle to promotion/relegation – the cross-divisional playoff.  I love that shit, and I have an idea that would keep MOAR clubs interested deeper (PHRASING) into the season.

Start with a similar premise – the bottow two Prem sides go down, no questions asked.  #18 goes into the playoff.  Here’s where I like a twist – #1 in the Championship is promoted, like usual.  #2 has a choice to make – they could (i) go into the traditional 4-way Championship playoff, as the highest seeded team; or (ii) go into the playoff against Prem #18 – but not over two legs.  The Championship #2 side would get to host the one-off playoff.  Extra Time and pennos, if needed.

If they choose option (i), then Championship #3 goes into the one-off playoff with Prem #18.  But since they didn’t finish 2nd, they play AWAY to the Prem side.

OK, yeah right (and even Litre, should #WhiteSupremacy collapse into silver medal territory) – what do you choose?  Home against Everton, winner takes all?  Or do you say fuck it, I’ll chance the playoffs in the C’ship!

Fucking be GREAT for teevee, too.  But if that were in place in 2022, it would surely kill me ded.

Otherwise, all I gots is music.  I heard Destroyer on SiriusXMU this week, and recalled the very best song of 2018.  Maybe the best song of the whole shitty decade.

Their new shit is pretty good, too.  I just could nae find it.  Not that I look very hard, I give up pretty easily.

Talk about whatever you like, perhaps see if we can summon Wakey by poking fun at Men Untied.  Also, 2Pac’s moning picture deserves heavy promotion (lead image here, bellisima).
