River Plate

[Erik]

I don't know, I think we'll just disagree on this one. I think if you stopped 100 city fans outside the KC, only 50 would have even heard of River Plate. It's all about European football these days.

BTW, I know who River Plate are, I was just raising the point.

Hmm... Of course...

They never got over the fact that we looked better than them in the red sash!

Yes, I'd noticed that. Tut tut. Tut tut indeed.

Good article about it here - http://fourfourtwo.com/blogs/argieb...-argentine-football-sinks-the-unsinkable.aspx

I didn't realise they had such an unusual relegation process, that is effectively designed to protect teams like River Plate.

It's a ridiculous system.
