MuespachRam Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Just looking at todays fixtures in "the best league in the world" seriously, i wouldn't walk to the end of my garden to watch ANY of those games today.

trekkie_ram Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I agree, there are bigger teams in League One than there are in almost half the premier league.

David Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 The clubs in the Premiership deserve to be in the Prem, clubs in League 1 deserve to be there regardless of size and popularity status. Some clubs are only "big" in their own city/town, Derby County would be a nothing club in Wigan and vice versa. The best league in the world cannot be judged on 1 weekend (which has been affected by European games) fixtures, I'm sure you could look at Serie A and La Liga some weekends and think what duff fixtures they are. Villa, West Brom, Bolton, Sunderland, Liverpool, Norwich, Newcastle, Wigan, Wolves and Swansea fans would look at the fixtures in the Championship today and thought pffft what a load of crap games.

Duracell Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I genuinely don't see how Wigan deserve to be where they are. They've just bought the dream. Blackpool, Norwich and Swansea, they deserved/deserve to be there. And Plymouth don't deserve to be where they are either.

CumbrianRam Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Like we bought the dream in the 90's under Pickering? Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/7787-premiership-you-can-keep-it/#findComment-215510 Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Because they won enough games to earn promotion and enough games to stay in the Prem since 2005. Do Man Utd, Chelsea, Man City deserve to be in the Prem because they have spent a hell of alot more. Plymouth's fans don't deserve to be where they are but the club has been run poorly and they are in the position they are because of that.

David Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Today's full list of fixtures in Serie A Fiorentina v Catania Juventus v Genoa Today's full list of fixtures in La Liga Racing Santander v Espanyol Sporting Gijon v Granada Malaga v Real Madrid Barcelona v Sevilla Can't say any of those games make me say WOW Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/7787-premiership-you-can-keep-it/#findComment-215512 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I wasn't too inspired by today's Championship fixture list either. Huddersfield v Preston sounds more of Championship game than Hull v Watord for instance.

james_ram Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I hate the premier league, just a rich mans play thing. I'll stick to us being a very good side in the league.

David Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 The Premiership seems to only be hated for the clubs outside of it, if we went up this season we'd love it, Pride Park would be full week in week out, we'd sell our away allocations at most games. Seeing Derby come up against some of the worlds best players, Aguero, Rooney, Silva....yeah I'd hate that. Also the Premiership might not be "the best league in the world" but there's been some entertainment in today's games..... Man Utd 1 - 6 Man City Chelsea down to 9 men and 1-0 down at QPR and we're still in the first half Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/7787-premiership-you-can-keep-it/#findComment-215716 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GboroRam Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 So if Man U are 6 goals better than Arsenal, and Man C are 5 goals better than Man U, that must mean that City are 11 goals better than Arsenal.

Plymouth's fans don't deserve to be where they are but the club has been run poorly and they are in the position they are because of that. But they're only punishing the fans and the current crop of players. It had nothing to do with them. If I went to your house and smeared poo all over your windows and then left, would you be happy if the Police charged you for indecency? The punishment does not fit the crime and Plymouth simply do not deserve to be there.

I think that would be pretty rude if you smeared poo on my windows, I would probably give you some abuse for being Ginger before launching you out the upstairs window, no need for the cops 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons//laugh' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/7787-premiership-you-can-keep-it/#findComment-215773 Share on other sites More sharing options...
