ramirez Posted Friday at 16:20 Share Posted Friday at 16:20 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted Friday at 16:30 Share Posted Friday at 16:30 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.

TomYam Posted Friday at 18:56 Share Posted Friday at 18:56 2 hours ago, ramirez said: Bristol must be the largest city to not have been represented in the premier league? 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramirez Posted Friday at 19:01 Share Posted Friday at 19:01 Swindon usually considered West Country and got promoted along with us in 93, although it’s Wiltshire but close enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

54 Posted Friday at 21:13 Share Posted Friday at 21:13 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.

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.

Yorkie Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
