Indeed. The one that makes me laugh is how little attention is paid to the form of the 3 promoted sides during the previous season. We finished 22 points ahead of QPR last season, for example - you'd think that might count for something in the various analyses. But no, you couldn't possibly bear that in mind - because 'the Premier League is a completely different kettle of fish'. OK sure, it's a higher quality league, but it's the same bloody game at the end of the day. Yes I know there are some obvious counter-examples to this from recent years, but I'd be surprised if, over a long period, the teams that have gone up as convincing champions and kept all their players and the same manager haven't generally fared better than the sides who have come up through the play-offs.

True, although part of me just thinks this whole business was a PR campaign to raise the profile of the club in Thailand (which is, after all, where they broke the story). The ambition that is being quoted and headlined (to achieve a top 5 place in 3 years) is not what they actually said anyway. But it gets them something with a strong line that's tweetable, slightly outrageous and gets people talking about it (like we are right now) to put our name out there to the vast majority of casual football fans who follow the Premier League and nothing else and have probably forgotton we existed in the 10 years since we've been out.

Perhaps...but given that the whole point of the campaign is to allow people to stand up during matches, calling it 'rail seating' is surely rather disingenuous too, right? Still, this consultation looks like a decent step forward. Of course, not being a public authority means that LCFC will be under no obligation to publish their official response in full, and are immune to Freedom of Information requests from fans. So the big question is...will we ever find out exactly what the club tells the Football League?

Well...what could be more 'pointless' than 22 blokes trying to kick a ball into two nets? If you take that attitiude, you could call every sport pointless. Not that I like tennis, mind. I mean personally I find it a bit boring (especially the women's game where there the players are much less likely to move off the baseline). And outside of the small coterie of elite players at the top, it's about the most bent sport going, even worse than horse-racing probably. But still, don't think it's fair to call it 'pointless'.

Yeah, wouldn't that be great if within a few years every single club in the country sang the same imported repertoire of 3/4 songs, with only the name of each club crowbarred clumsily into the chorus providing any kind of variety?

Well **** off then. Instead of registering as a user, then making posts. And it's 'you're', by the way, not 'your'. You utter ****wit.
