Is that the level of football we are allowed to move into by the PL?  7-10th then. 

The comment of "next level of football" was meant as how the premier league is morphing into something else, being driven by the so call top 6.  Not league positions.

Yep, that was it, I stood in Gallowgate scoreboard. Had forgotten about Shilton playing that night. Did a search and Dean Saunders was also playing. Amazed to see that someone has put the match highlights on YouTube.

Yeah, I have mentioned this many times on here, but new mega stadiums will soon be the norm in the Premier League, and I think it will lead to closer league.

The American owners want it, and people financing these stadiums will want it, and the finances raised through these stadiums will create it as other clubs won’t be able to compete.

Fairly audible applause for their first goal, feel like thats something that wouldn't happen now, maybe it was just because nobody was that arsed about that cup!

Christ, Reading won the cup in 87/88, the same year they were relegated into the third tier

Think that was the case, it was nothing more than a fixture filler and was fairly short-lived.
