Aside from that tonking against Liverpool, you’ve generally competed in every game. Haven’t once thought Brighton would go down, and with wins away at West Ham and Swansea early doors it was obvious you had more about you than others down there. Every year the 3 that go up are also helped out by teams dropping like stones and vastly underperforming. Who honestly thought WBA, Stoke and Saints would struggle so badly? By applying the same logic, it really isn’t against the realms of reality to see Leicester, Burnley and Palace drop next year. You’d think all three should be totally fine, but you would have thought that about those down there now. I reckon Brighton could be top 10 next season. Equally, they could finish bottom! Really is a top 6 + Everton in nomans land + the rest who are relegation candidates Keep predicting (or wishing) Burnley will go down? Like a broken clock, you will eventually be right. I suppose we will fall at the first hurdle in the Europa Cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The post states you have had a good season and you wouldn't expect Burnley to struggle as I read it . On the second point I'm not really bothered how you get on against Tromso or Spartak Plovdiv to be fair . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All last season he was saying how dreadful Burnley were and that we were certs to get relegated.....we didn't. So he then said we'd struggle this season....we haven't. I just hope he does NOT predict us to do well in Europe...because then we won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRam Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Wolves certainly aren't going to worry about a gap. They'll probably be the second highest spenders this summer behind Man City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Same Silva that was kept out of a decidedly average Milan side by a 19 year old Patrick Cutrone and Nikola Kalinic and has scored twice? If that's what £33 million gets you, Vydra must be worth at least £25 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will just be buying Jorge Mendes' clients, and that is not an infallible pool of quality. They will spend a lot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needles Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I hope Wolves spend mega money and **** it up. I don't dislike the club, I enjoyed their football, but I certainly despise the way they've gone about their business. Prem's full of hype and way too overblown. In many ways, I prefer being in the Championship, but without the ambition to go up what's the point? If we do scrape through the play-offs, you're down to 19 home games, few on a Saturday at 3PM, and 5 or 6 of those games you know you've practically zero chance against the billionaires. A 13 game season for me to enjoy competitive football, maybe 4 or 5 of them at the time and day when I actually want to go and watch. Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I was listening to Football Weekly podcast yesterday and one of the podders said that none of the teams that got promoted in to the top five tiers of English football this season have been relegated. Not sure how accurate that is but it is very impressive if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pretty interesting stat. next year everyone who gets promoted will be relegated ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see them as relegation candidates at all for the little that's worth. In any case, the naysayers' opinions don't matter at all. As for the Europa Cup, you just might give a few 'bigger clubs' (in their minds at least) a bit of an unpleasant surprise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Key Club King Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 As the quality of the Prem teams increases it pushes talent further down to the Championship and beyond, so the quality gap has probably not changed that much. It really should be much greater given the disparity in wealth. Despite what many people say, the quality of football in England has increased considerably since the establishment of the Premier League. If you don't believe me, then go and watch the highlights of any game from around 1992. Every game was like watching the current Cardiff team.

He never said that, to be fair. He he said that theoretically it should be a surprise but anybody from 7th down are vulnerable to a bad season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
