TBH, the playoffs are a discrace when the top 3 finish miles clear and the 5th or 6th place team win it. That said I really dont like Allardyce, it's just that anything else is blatantly unfair.
Interesting comparison. I remember me and my wife starting trying for a baby in Jan 2005. Heartache for years but she eventually got preggers over 3 years later. Couldnt believe it was happening till I saw her get very large indeed (twins)
