Names in American football continues to be utterly bonkers and fantastic. You still get some of that in the NBA but not like in the 80's-90's. NFL just keeps getting better.

Yet nobody said Villa would win the league at all... Could add deluded to the list then? Just enjoy the journey without the backstabbing eh?

DOF mode would be good, getting to buy the players, hire/fire managers etc. 

Lets just see how west ham get on against lpool Saturday. I watched the Liverpool,  Everton game and Liverpool had some chances but Everton outplayed them, wanted it more all over the pitch. LPools heads dropped. West Ham is not the place to go to with a poor attitude.   Then they play spurs at home, I so hope I'm wrong and they beat Spurs but watching them. It going to be close.  I'm not saying its going to happen I'm saying it could happen, saying it's not going to happen is just.........

Exactly. People don't seem to realise how hard gaps like that are to overturn at this end of the table. You can't just string a few wins together and reel teams in, unless they completely collapse. Which is rare.   We're basically to liverpool what Man Utd were to us a couple of months ago. The swing in form required to overhaul an 8 point gap is huge with 10-12 games left. With 4 games left it's virtually impossible

Like that idea. I think getting an experienced head in makes sense, especially for a relateively lower fee. Lo Celso is another one, he'll definitely be leaving Spurs this summer.

It's their party's plan in the main

That's a defeatist attitude mate. We're going to win the league

I think most died in the wool tories will be quite terrified by this, because it kicks off a new government term with a nationalisation project front and centre, and one which isn't scaring the masses. They'll fear creeping national permission for similar ideas.
