Maximum score = 10 Minimum score = 1 This is designed to encourage attractive play that will increase the enjoyment of spectators and the following areas are taken into consideration:

 POSITIVE - Using attacking tactics, not defensive - Speeding up the game - Efforts to gain time (e.g. bringing the ball back into play quickly even if the team is in a winning position) - Continuing to push for goals when in a winning position 
NEGATIVE
 - Slowing down the game - Time wasting - Tactics based on foul play - Play-acting (simulation) please log in to view this image
It is. If you're hoping for a backdoor into the EL then you do have a chance - England were 4th in the interim rankings so there's an outside chance of us ending in the top three and earning a bonus place.
I'm surprised Newcastle are as low as they are in the overall table. And this doesn't even include yet their (deserved) fight with officials at the Wigan game over the McManaman tackle. Can't see anyone ever displacing Stoke at the bottom though so long as Pulis is there.
I'm happy with attractive footy (obviously) but it's **** all good when our defenders have turned into the ugly sisters. Can't say we were particularly attractive at the weekend eh ****ing minging in fact
hang on this is complete bollox POSITIVE - Using attacking tactics, not defensive - Speeding up the game - Efforts to gain time (e.g. bringing the ball back into play quickly even if the team is in a winning position) - Continuing to push for goals when in a winning position 
NEGATIVE
 - Slowing down the game - Time wasting - Tactics based on foul play - Play-acting (simulation) lets just point out three simple things 1. passing the ball about at the back doing nothing bar tapping it around between cbs and gk... 2. designated throwers plus not a sign of a ball boy at anfield.. these are basics of speeding the game up. 3. countless occasions where we get a couple then stop playing and pass it about. it says continue to push for goals. i imagine chelsea under anchelotti where they killed sides when i think of that.
