Tony Le Mesmer Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Just wondered about your ideal Prem line up. Which clubs would make up the perfect one? Maybe based on clubs you remember being big growing up as a kid (Oxford were big with Saunders, Houghton etc but now young fans would not even consider Oxford as a big club). In no particular order I would have Man Utd Man City Arsenal Liverpool Everton Chelsea Sheffield Wednesday Derby County West Ham Utd Aston Villa Leeds Newcastle QPR Oldham Norwich Sheffield United Nottingham Forest (sorry!) Coventry City Southampton Watford All clubs I remember being in and around it during the times I was growing up. Amazing to think what's happened to Coventry and even Luton Town who used to be up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't have them all! Like I said, it might be teams that stick in your mind from growing up as well as for other reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allocating 2 spots to E Anglia who only basically have 2 teams (unless you stretch the borders to Cambridge and even Peterborough) looks odd as against 4 for the NW where you are excluding a large number of others Blackburn, Bolton etc Any road, no Corinthian Casuals - so I'm out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd sooner have Oldham, they were good in the Joe Royle era. We've no divine right, but surely Derby and Leeds, Wolves and Villa, Newcastle and Wednesday, even F****t would be an improvement on some of the clubs currently occupying the lower half of England's top division.
