wiseman Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Chelsea, I always feel like their take over was when money started getting thrown around stupidly, and changed the scope of the game. and while we are the latest beneficiaries of it, I detest everything that chelsea stands for, they feel like a hollow club, and if they disappeared the league would not be worse off for it. They're just Millwall with money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Palace for me. Boring, shitty club with really wild board decisions. I really have to stop being nostalgic because I always wanted the likes of Palace, Forrest and Leeds to come back to the Prem but they don't have the same allure as they did in the past. Now I'm missing Bolton Birmingham and Wigan. God knows what the fuck is wrong with me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Palace and Southampton add absolutely nowt to the league and never will do but at least on the same level Fulham know they don’t but just crack on. So one of them two. Southampton run Reading close as being the nowt-est team about but then you’ve got your vanity Gretna esque projects like Harrogate and Forest Green these days as well.

HaydnNUFC Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Fill yer boots if you can bear with the Chronicle website. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ideal-premier-league-pick-20-16043263 Here's mine. Struggled tbh. Have the exact same thoughts about Southampton as Disco above does but recency bias and time in the Prem put them ahead of Portsmouth and Brighton for that south coast spot. Resent putting Sheff Wed in given their weird concrete shagging fans but they probably are the more "PL" club out of the Sheffield two given history and shit.

Astroblack Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Would love Blackburn back. Love the badge and kit, Breraton, Gallagher and Dack deserve a crack at the big time. Former champs, League Cup in 02. Duff back then was a terror. Miss 'em tbh. Never went there but Ewood looked a nice place on TV. Really wanted Yakubu to hit 100 PL goals but it wasn't to be.

Superior Acuña Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) Cardiff maybe a bit weird, but think it's good to have a Welsh team in there. Could swap with Swansea.

TheBrownBottle Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Only tricky one was Portsmouth over Sheff Utd - decided two Sheff clubs too much, and you'd want a South coast club. But not Southampton, who've offered fuck all of interest for pretty much the entirety of English footballing history. And yes, the mackems go in there - but this does not mean I want to see them in there. I'm surprised at the number of absolute nothing London clubs (Palace, Fulham, QPR) selected on here - four London clubs is enough, and those three have won 1 League Cup between them in their entire histories. Interestingly, all three clubs also average around 25% of their league history in the top division - three seasons out of four you'd find them floundering in the lower leagues. I'd be picking the smoggies ahead of any of them - they've won the same number of trophies as those three combined (1) and have spent almost as many years in the top division as those three combined(!).

McCormick Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 11 hours ago, Kid Icarus said: How much football do you watch on average per week and if it's a lot how do you get away with it? Beinsports has pretty much 24 hour coverage of all the major leagues (with recap shows as well). When I’m working late from home it’s usually always in the background.

Doctor Zaius Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 12 hours ago, Interpolic said: Serious answer, I sort of choose my battles putting it on the big telly. I don't want her having to watch football all the time. We'll watch all NUFC games together on big telly but happily she pure loves the toon these days, having not really seen much football before we met. Other than that maybe a game a week on the big telly, depends on the schedule. And I'll watch a few on a laptop when she's watching something else. And it's on constantly whenever she's out Same, when were together and they're on. Will enthusiastically watch Newcastle on TV and quite often suggests going out to watch it, i'm grateful, especially these days. Tried to push my luck and get her watching the darts the other day but she was having none of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Yeah, similar here, and feel very fortunate tbh. She sees the joy it brings me after two years of abject misery and actively encourages me to stick it on, and she can name most of the players now; enjoys reading their Wikis and what-have-you when the game's on. I didn't mention a particular game being on tele a couple weeks back (think it was Forest) cos we were gonna go out for tea or something; she noticed herself and insisted we change plans. Not sure what I've done to deserve her really, she's a bit of a belter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
