    They could do like in the US where sellers move around the ground and seating areas and come to you.

    Tragic.

    Because the big clubs don't yet have enough of an advantage.

    I could understand this rule, as a short term measure to help avoid a mass of injuries with so many games in such a short time, but keeping it going is wrong.
    Not every team has a bench full of international, game changing players.
    Heck, we have had 5 or so kids on our bench, most of whom have no first team experience at all.
    Big club bias.

    That’s a bloody farce! Just give the clubs with loads of internationals on their bench a massive advantage :emoticon-0121-angry
    Please go and form a European super league .....

    I would've been able to get on board with it if it was a 3+2 rule. (3 regular subs, plus potential for 2 extra if they are teenagers/from your academy)

    But not this.

    C Wilson, L Cook, and Brooks all left on the bench. In addition of course to Ake being injured.

    You have your answer.

    We can't have the likes of Sheffield United qualifying for Europe instead of clubs Arsenal. It's not what the game's about.

    As true as this statement is, it’s still a bit stupid to change the subs rule

    Bournemouth doing alright. I mean they're losing, but you can see the boost that the Leicester game has given them.

    Judging by Tom's posts I reckon a City goal is incoming.

    And that's exactly what happens when you miss chances against Man City.
