>Grant proposes Premier play-off
"Avram Grant insists the only way to separate Chelsea and Manchester United would be a play-off to decide the Premier League title."

Not this season, but this should be in place. If the two teams are level on points, play off, goal difference can depend on when you play certain teams.

For example :

Man Utd 6 Newcastle 0 (when Newcastle were shit)

Chelsea 2 Newcastle 0 (when Keegan woke up)

lol..
It's pathetic because from the start of the season every manager should realize how important it is to try to keep clean sheets.

Apparently he didn't do a very good job and now he wants a play-off. Fuck off!!!

if it goes to a playoff system, there is no incentive to have anything but the 1-0 borefests we often see

as an amerifag that rarely watches footy i know you guys don't care about my opinion BUT- a playoff is the best way to determine the true champion. i find the way you guys assign champions to be even dumber than our bcs (college football). sports champions should be determined on the field, not in statistical analysis. plus, it stops your faggy little customs of playing for ties. go ahead and use your gf/ga/etc to seed the teams, and then run a single elimination playoff, it would be much more exciting. real men play to win, and they do it on the field.

tl,dr: BRACKETS > everything else

We have it. It's called the "Champions League". It used to be called the "FA Cup".

The best 4 teams in England go and play against the best clubs from France, Spain, Italy and Germany (and sometimes some lesser countries).

Play offs can suck my dick. Whoever is top at the end of the season wins, it's not that complicated. Grant knew that it would come down to goal difference, so nobody to blame but himself

I'm not sure I could watch a best of 7 United/Chelsea match. Like you have in the NHL.

The league doesn't lie.

Goal difference is what? Essentially one extra point for those with the most.

As a Chelsea fan even i think Grant is an idiot for suggesting this.

Good troll is good. But he's also a TACTICAL GENIUS.

I know this isn't /r/, and you're practically begging for it, but it still makes me laugh, so here we go:

single elimination doesn't necessarily mean a one-off game, for me at least. For me SE just means that if you lose in a round you're out, i.e. no loser's bracket.

Even Fergie is a better troll than Grant is.
