Other games (2024/25)

[ramirez]

We are guaranteed a closer ’local’ Derby than Manchester next season anyway. It’s weird Watford and Norwich not being near play offs and West Brom likely missing out too.

Coventry in the Prem would be proper Retro, a reminder of a better time, would love it.

 

One of the first games I ever went to was Leeds v Coventry (Dad was a Leeds fan, supported them until I was 6, long story) and always remember everyone chanting "What's the score Big Fat Ron", one of my earliest memories that. Odd reason but yeah, fully behind them, helps that it'd make the Mackems fume

 

Means they'll be able to afford Wilson, too.

Bristol City fans must be delirious this season, for the last 9 seasons they've never finished lower than 19th and higher than 8th, never in any threat of relegation, and not good enough to get a play-off place. Its a great story there too, with what happened to Ian Manning earlier on in the season. 

 

I'd say i'd want them to get promoted if it wasn't for their absolute horrendous camera angle.

Bristol must be the largest city to not have been represented in the premier league? 

[David Edgar]

Sheff Utd v Cardiff is not a pretty watch.

[Joelinton7]

Just watching Choudhury for Sheff U now. One that got away 

[Funtime Frankie]

Amazing for the pair of them

Yes, by far. Plymouth is probably the next largest. The south-west corner of England (Cornwall, Devon, west Dorset and Somerset) has been entirely unrepresented in PL history. I believe only Bristol City played in the old First Division (9 seasons) from that geographical area.

Last thing the league needs is a load of Wurzels stinking it up.

Swindon usually considered West Country and got promoted along with us in 93, although it’s Wiltshire but close enough.

All the teams promoted will stink out PL unless they can spend £75 million on improving squads. The gap is massive between the 2 leagues atm as seen by the teams going up last season.

Definitely not West Country, 50 mins from London.

Cornwall has never had a club in the top 5 divisions of English football, it's one reason as to why what Truro are doing this season could be historic.

Went to Coventry back in the day and at the turnstile the copper told me to walk around for half an hour as I was too pissed to go in. Cheeky twat

Saw the Worzels at Glastonbury - quality 

[El Prontonise]

Professional job by Leeds there.

That Burnley Vs Sheffield United match on Monday is going to be a must watch, not in terms of play style, they're both utterly drab, and it'll be an awful game, but in terms of what's at stake, a Burnley win and the Automatic promotion race is done, especially if Leeds win earlier on in the day.

Highly doubt he’d go back. Didn’t seem keen at all in the Amazon doc. Says a lot he’s played at two clubs probably the furthest away from Cov too🤣. I used to live there. Can’t blame him😂

I can’t help but think that we are probably going to have 10-15 years of Burnley going up and down.

I watched the second half of the Cardiff v sheff Utd game last night, sheff Utd are so bad and they are third!

I remember doing a pub quiz once and that very question was asked. We went with Bristol as well but the answer was Wakefield apparently . God knows if that was correct

Hope you smashed the place up because that's absolute bollocks.

[Yorkie]

Yeah I think there's some trivia crossed wires there. I'm sure the thing about Wakefield is that it's the biggest city not to have a professional football team, or something.
