Are there 20 non-shit clubs in England?

Definitely Fulham, even though they're small they have a long history and a great little ground.

 

I would probably get rid of Spurs, but just because I dislike them.

 

When I first started to get properly into football Swindon and Oldham had spells in the Prem, wouldn't mind seeing them back!

 

Also, would love to see the old Wimbledon.

out of a foreigner's curiosity, why has no one mentioned Millwall?

 

Theyre not so much a football club but more of a place for 80's cockney gangsters to meet up with eachother on a saturday afternoon...football just takes place coincidentally...

Man City

Yeah, a boatload of Spanish clubs have that on their names  :lol:

 

Royal patronage was very commonly granted to the senior sports and arts associations of Spain's major towns in the early century. Only one per city in the same discipline, though, which is the reason there's only a Real Madrid and not a Real Atlético de Madrid, etc... it's not done anymore, which means that any association carrying the "Real" name has a bit of story to it, usually meaning it's more than a century old.

 

This is also the reason why we never use "Real" to refer to Real Madrid, unlike I have seen a lot of foreign press doing. It's just "el Madrid" (and Atlético de Madrid are "el Atlético").

 

I'm also baffled by the great amount of people that I have encountered that think Madrid are really linked to the Spanish royal family just because of the name. Incidentally, the King and the Crown Prince are well known Atlético fans.

Oldham. If only so that I can relieve those two Andy Cole goals and the Beardsley screamer again and again in my mind.

 

One of if not THE first Newcastle match I saw on Sky. Can still remember where I watched it.

 

Class tbh.

Found 24 I wouldn't mind in the premiership. I hate most of them though, so don't really know why.

In no particular order:

 

Newcastle

Aston Villa

Birmingham

Leeds

Man Utd

Man City

Wolverhampton

WBA

West Ham

Chelsea

Arsenal

Fulham

Nottingham Forest

Sheffield Wednesday

Blackburn Rovers

Liverpool

Everton

 

----------

 

Huddersfield

Tottenham

Ipswich

Southampton

Sunderland

Middlesbrough

Crystal Palace

 

The last seven are taking turns in being promoted and relegated.
