I've enjoyed the fixture schedule being condensed meaning a game or two everyday, and the relegation scrap kept things interesting That said, i don't think i watched a match in it's entirety, but dipped in and out of a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The excitement I had for next season that had been going through the roof has started to peter out a bit though. I'm obviously really interested and excited to see how the new look team plays and I hope a few of us can get into home games. But having read a couple of articles in the news talking about the reality (or lack of) away fans returning soon if at all next season, it's kind of made me think it's all very well us potentially going to Cambridge, Colchester, Exeter etc and ripping the league up but if we're just watching it on a laptop screen at home how much fun can we really take out of that. Want us out of this league ASAP, but I wanted us to have experienced these places too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still think they are special and relevant so BSA could never fit the bill. Deluded and will always be in the shadow of their near neighbour.

Site Supporter MickyD Posted July 29, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted July 29, 2020 Premier League is a group of 20 teams, 6 of which compete for which order they finish and the other 14 of which compete not to be relegated. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In England now, clubs, with the exception of the top few, merely exist in the hope of maybe one day winning the league cup. Every twenty or thirty years a team forgets their place and wins something decent (Leicester and Wigan as prime examples) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escobarp Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Brentford have been a delight to watch for quite some time. Be a cracking game them and Fulham in the final. Whichever goes up absolutely will come straight back down though norwich tried to take their free flowing style to the Prem.

Everton have spent a fortune the last few seasons, like Arsenal, but mainly on over rated shite. I have an Everton mate who laughs at it, he thinks the club has lost it's identity and the club needs to get a grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger_Dubuis Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Arsenal are the same as Liverpool - won 3 major trophies in the last 13 years. Their last triumph they had centre half Holding who cost £2.5 million playing.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
