Small club came up and did things the right way. Plucky underdogs. Howe, and others connections. I just can’t seem to stand them to be honest. Everyone seems to be wishing them well, and liking them shake things up. I just want them to fuck off back down the leagues to be honest, and I can’t even tell you why. Personally, I don't like that there is a group of clubs with tiny support that are successful mostly due to being located in places that are desirable for players to live, which have pushed out well supported northern clubs. I don't think they're actually plucky underdogs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they're actually plucky underdogs. I think part of that is my thinking as well. Bournemouth isn’t a footballing hotbed. 2 of their season ticket holders are Harry Redknapp, and Souness, and because they both retired there. They could get into Europe, and win the cup and I feel a few years down the line, absolutely no one would give a fuck about them again. I don’t think they’ll ever be able to significantly increase their fanbase. I just don’t think the South Coast is a footballing hotbed, the same sort of dislike applies to Brighton. Plymouth aside, I have started to hate all the South Coast clubs. With Plymouth, I like them for how they treated us when we got promoted as Champions and they got relegated, and I can understand how their region is overlooked and generally rather poor, and even with these considerations, I don’t think Plymouth can become much bigger than what they are now. It’s very similar to the Rugby clubs who came up and stole a place in the Premier League, Wigan and Reading, I’m looking at you two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just saying that to my mate. Basically we had the wrong type of ref when we played Bournemouth. Fair play still to Bournemouth of course their finishing was excellent on the day. The ref however suited their tactical fouling on the day. Small margins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal being a London club who can pay higher salary was a factor that they could lure herbert Chapman to join their relegation threatened club, dumping his title winning squad in small huddersfield.

midds Posted Sunday at 17:30 Share Posted Sunday at 17:30 So where does that leave 6th and 7th places then? Assuming City and Forest finish top 5, would both 6th and 7th be Europa or just 6th? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just merely pointing out the fine margins in games. A different ref and us getting more fouls would’ve made a difference. Actually just holding on to 1-1 until HT could’ve been enough. Reshape re group. However wasn’t to be and they scored a second just before HT. Ran out worthy winners but everything they hit felt it went in.

If whoever wins it, already qualified for Europe, then it will drop down a place in the league, to 7th (assuming England get the extra Champions League place).

Yeah, I meant if City or Forest finish top 5, and either win the cup, it's EL for 6th and 7th? Didn't make it clear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they're actually plucky underdogs. Tend to agree. Location doesn't just attract players, but it attracts ownership groups in the first place. Don't get me wrong you can't really begrudge clubs being well ran but it does make the league a bit boring. The same imbalance is happening in Italy (although the north/South divide is flipped). Small northern teams like Como, Venezia, Monza being bought out because of their location and cultural cache while bigger clubs in poorer regions flounder.

The College Dropout Posted Sunday at 17:59 Share Posted Sunday at 17:59 Want Forest to win the cup. Elliot Anderson and Wood from ours. Proper club. FFP Brothers.

Surely football goes beyond just what is supposedly good for us (and I’m not sure it makes a difference anyway). You look at how impressive those scenes were yesterday and so many fans of other clubs have been genuinely happy for us and enjoyed seeing teams win stuff fir the first time in many years, fans going crazy etc. Yeah you won’t see any of that with City. Just the same old. Wouldnt mind it for forest or if Bournemouth had won But fuck palace and fuck villa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
