Re: League prediction's
Equally, I've seen ST and think it must have been a "rushed job" by one of their summer interns - probably never travelled further north than Watford - but seen City, Manu and Lpool on tv.

Re: New idea for goal kicks
I can honestly say that I've never been incensed by any actions at a goalkick. Now myself and many others have been over diving and feigned injuries and still no action I can think of from lawmakers. Football was a great game for over a hundred years please leave well.alone.
