I got to watch a bit of a Liverpool/Reading game yesterday (at least I think it was those two teams). The way the flopping and diving was happening during the game, I thought I was watching a Canucks/Habs game.
I guess you're right. That first photo looks like a cross between Run-DMC and Judas Priest. That's a nice kilt further down. Wow, Rodman, I've totally forgotten about him.
Setting up for a fun finish for 3rd, 4th, 5th with Arsenal, Sp*rs, and Chelsea vying for the 2 last Champions League spots. Hoping the Gunners can hold on to a spot and finish ahead of ****ing Sp*rs. God it makes me sick seeing Demspey in those disgusting kits.

Villa and Wigan are on a collision course for a survival clash on the last day.
Sad thing is I really wanted Suarez at Chelsea back when he was at Ajax. Now he's a combo of Tyson and Burrows.
Huge comeback by Spurs too against Citeh. Dempsey big goal there.
Villa still has Norwich and Wigan and Sunderland which they could grab points from though I doubt they take any of Chelsea.
Wigan still has West Brom, Swansea, Tottenham and Villa. I doubt they take any off of Spurs and they will be lucky to get any from West Brom or Swansea.
Cant see Wigan catching them, unless Villa falls apart down the stretch.

I love the North American style of sports with playoffs and everything but the whole relegation and secondary battles in Europe are fascinating as well. Huge money drop offs from Champions League or not qualifying, same for dropping down to the Championship Division. It makes it hard for a team no matter how bad to mail it in. Then even mid table teams can battle for a spot in Europa Cup.

Sadly with the way the our countries leagues are run, it would be quite a pain to set it up after the fact. But you're completely right. There only a handful of teams with nothing to play for even at the end of the season. And there certainly is no draft pick tanking.
