I get what you are saying Drewks but have to disagree!! I think the playoffs are the best innovation to happen to football!!! I certainly don't think they are unfair, every team knows what position gets what at the end of the season, so unfair seems the wrong word to me. While this season there is a big gap, when it was three up, three down, wasn't it as "unfair" when the 4th place team missed out on GD? Again, I don't think that scenario is unfair, maybe unlucky but not unfair. If Brighton are truly 15 points better than us then they will beat us over two legs but yes there is the element of luck that will at some point have its say!!

I also don't think the playoffs are all about money either. They are designed to keep the season alive for longer for more teams, and in this sense they invariably succeed. Every division has something to be decided this season on the last day, and I think that is great for football across the board. We will see many clubs with inflated attendances this weekend because of the playoff and while that generates much needed income, it doesn't make them all about money!! Being all about money to me is something that happens to those teams that already have the money and then make a change to get even more - The Champions League for example where its no longer just the champions who qualify!!
