Musings on the Premiership being rubbish.   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #3769 of 4912 |
Not a 60s 70s comment, but I'm pleased Derby got their first win today.

The Premiership with it's Top 4 is so dreadful compared to the old
Division One in the 60s 70s. I know there were top teams back then, but
this Top 4 stranglehold in the Premiership is killing English football.

I really hope Man Ciy's challenge has got legs and they win their first
title since 68.

Personally I would cut the Premiership to 16 sides and have just 2 up
and 2 down.

Also it is time the Conference National became the proper 5th Division.
I saw Farsley Celtic (Paul Madeley's old side!) play Exeter on Saturday
and the quality is definitely good enough.

If only there was a European Super League to get rid of the top 4 sides!

NO NO NO Bob, the Premiership should go back to 22 clubs and cut out all this name-changing crap. What is the Conference now? The Beeb perpetuates the 1992/3...
