With Spurs losing, if we hadn't thrown away 7 points in the last 3 games, 4th was on. It's going to be upsetting either way.

At first hearing, it sounds like a parody, but thinking about it for more than a few minutes, there is logic to it. It gives more kids a chance to play. And logistically, it avoids having to repeat the host bidding process every year. It also allows the host country to actually get value out of...

Yup, plus the club would have been mocked for spending all summer chasing an unattainable target.

Off topic, but what's the deal with West Ham and Moyes? It seems despite the conference win, West Ham are considering firing him?
