> Its a Burnley get promoted, dont invest heavily in the squad and go right back down episode
FUCKKKK
>its a "mincedbythetigers turns up and tells everyone how evil allam is but its OK that he's an attention seeking tripfag because he supports a lower league team" episode
>be QPR
>have shit loads of money and rich owner
>team is mid table championship
>>66244114
Can we just ban Burnley, QPR, Hull and Norwich from the PL yet. They're such nothing clubs that exist purely to get promoted and relegated endlessly.
>>66245321
Fucking horrible ain't it? We'll have to see how JFH does next season.
DESU, >>66245359 has a point. We'd only go right back down if we went up this season. Nowhere near ready. Might take a while but let's hope it's not another fifteen year wait.
>>66245359
Hull are not that bad desu.
I hate teams coming up and down every year, I prefer some variety especially when the teams gave sod all to like about them when they were in the Prem.
I'll let Burnley off even though Dyche is a cunt but Hull can fuck off and stay fucked off - Shit stadium, shit fans and locals, shit owners, shit history, no history and players like Elmo, Huddlestone, Davies, McGregor putting in 'just enough' most weeks
>yfw Aston Villa never plays in the PL ever again
>>66245359
>ban Burnley, QPR, Hull and Norwich from the PL
Oh god yes fucking please.
Insufferable clubs.
>>66245957
Birmingham City will replace them as the cities PL team
>>66245957
>yfw Burnley assume Villa's identity and then promptly get relegated after finishing 20th
>>66245930
Have Burnley ever not went straight back down immediately?
>it's a repeat of the episode where Forest fall flat and sack their manager effectively going nowhere all season
>tfw you love Burnley
>tfw you love Dyche
good lads, keep up the anger
Shit league, we've won it 7 (seven) times. More than anyone else. You guys really need to git gud.
>>66245957
Good. I'm fed up of teams that just faff about in mid-table and do fuck all. It took Leicester ONE season to end up fucking first, yet shite like Villa have never even challenged. Fuck 'em. Hope shit like Stoke and West Brom piss off next.
I'll take one Derby, Boro and Forest please
>>66246646

No, fuck off.
>>66246536
>trophies for promotion
why do these exist
>>66246666
Who?
>>66246714
It's a trophy for winning the league
The fact there's s trophy for 2nd is another kettle of fish entirely
>>66246714
Because they won the league maybe?
Plus, they won The Football League, the oldest league structure in football founded in 1888. That trophy is one of the oldest in the world.
>>66246714
That trophy is nearly as old as your faggotry civil war
>>66246769
Fawaz Al-Hasawi.
>>66245296
You fucking bet it is mate.
Not feeling good about tonight though, even if Livermore is back.
Sick and tired of Burnley and Hull shitters endlessly getting promoted because they lucked into the playoffs once and got an absolute truckload of cash five years ago
>>66246536
>team that wins the playoffs™ gets a bigger trophy than the team that wins the actual league, whilst second place gets a nice silver tea tray
>>66246848
To be fair out civil war did such. We let Americans die just to force the shitty South to be part of our country again. America really could be GOAT if it was just the Northeast, West, and Midwest
>>66247018
Yet the World Cup is tiny compared to all of those.
>aluko starting
>>66247117
>diame still starting
>>66246201
well twice in the 'Premier League Era' but theyve won the First Division a few times and alot of their fans are pretty based.
Hull on the other hand have no history and their fan base is made up of acidic accented locals, chinese students and furries. They can fuck right off again
>>66244114
>> Its a Burnley get promoted, dont invest heavily in the squad and go right back down episode
repeat, already seen it
what else is on?
>>66247117
>thinking Bruce will ever drop his golden boy again now that he's actually scored a goal
>>66247282
it was literally his worst ever game for city as well ffs
>>66247282
You need a """"""""yes man""""""" manager in charge
>Championshit
Lol, reminder Man Utd have more fans than all of your clubs combined.
>>66246714
because over the course of an entire season theyve won their division.
shit like a runner up trophy in pic related though is ridiculous
>>66247375
I'm laughing so hard, jesus christ.
At least in the play offs you've won at Wembley, but that shit is shocking.
>>66247347
>Chinks and Pakis
No thanks. I'd rather support Sheff Wed. or Preston instead of Paki clubs like Arsenal and United or Aussie/Norwegian club like Laugherpool.
BRIGTON THIS IS OUR YEAR
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE 2003
Can't stand Sean Dyche desu. Looking forward to them going up so he can relegate them again
>>66247874
>Le "que???" black man face
Do you legit support Brighton?
just you wait, scunthorpe will be back in a few years. Gonna drop trou and show you all the iron.

Who here remembers
>muh market leaders
Hate dyche passionately
>>66248758
I see you are ahead of me in the League, you must have MANY POUND NOTES
>>66248758
POUND NOTES
MARKET LEADERS
Full on cunt tbqhwy
>>66248058
Maybe he's just a really big fan of their culture
>mfw Sheffield Wednesday get promoted
>>66248758
>Google it
>half a dozen different instances
It's his fucking soundbite
>>66248797
>>66248811
I KNOW WE LOST TO LEICESTER, ITS BECAUSE THEY HAVS LOTS OF POUND NOTES AND ARE MARKET LEADERS.
>>66249029
I liked that excuse, both squads probably cost similar amounts in transfer fees
>>66245359
Taking a look at the Championship table:
>Burnley
>Brighton
>Middlesbrough
>Hull City
>Derby County
>Sheffield Wednesday
>Cardiff City
>Ipswich Town
>Birmingham City
>Preston North End
Honestly, outside from Wednesday and Preston, it's filled with uneventful nothing clubs. Really not up for Burnley coming back and Brighton going up with fucking Zamora. I don't think I'd want to see any of them get promoted.
>>66245359
>endlessly
>twice
>>66249085
Ipswich yeah
That's about it
>>66249138
And they've been fuckawful both times. At least the first time round they had orange bluetooth headset man
>>66249067
Yeah but the Thais bought the stadium, turned the deb into equity and invested hugely into the training complex around then and the season before
>>66249085
>Derby a nothing club
>>66249577
They play in white shirts and black shorts and all that I've experienced of them in my lifetime worth noting is one very shit season in the Premier League. Fulham is more colorful than Derby imo
>>66249940
>literally being born this millennium
What have Preston done then to not be a nothing club?
>>66250015
Doubt it's a millenium thing, think that there are plenty of people born in the early 90s who don't give a shit about Derby, since they're not doing much for quite some time now.
Fast forward 10 years and people will start talking about Leeds in the same way.
Preston just has something likeable personally. And an unbeaten season. Besides, them getting promoted would be extraordinary.
Bournemouth hasn't done anything in their history, but I'm enjoying their stay in the Premier League much more than I would've enjoyed let's say QPR.
>>66245930
What's wrong with Sean Dyche? I know he's ginger but he always seems like he knows his shit
>>66250322
he's a decent bloke, these opinions and threads are always just jealous leeds fans
>>66250399
Not a Leeds fan and I can't stand Sean Dyche

Hes pretty GOAT desu don't know why he's moved so often. Is matias as good as the stats make him look?
>Boro score
>no posts about it
nice thread you imbeciles
>>66250611
Well, managers in Portuguese league used to be fired with ease some years ago if their team didn't perform well for a couple of games. Can only comment on when Carlos trained Sporting, it was a difficult time at a club and he wasn't treated with respect.
As for Marco Matias e only really got going last season, but being the 4th most goalscorer (17 goals) in the league just after Jackson Martinez (21) and the two forwards from the champion, and your team finishing 7th has gt to mean something.
>>66249085
Brighton is a great town though. i know nothing of their team but i go there a lot so it'd be cool to see EPLel being played there
>>66249085
At least Boro got to a UEFA Cup final and had a few meme worthy players. Beat City 8-1 that one time too.
>>66250712
There were posts about it in the match thread for the game

> Not wanting Brighton to go up

Eat shit Dutch.
>>66251382

Nugent call up when?
hahaha fuck off Hull
G'won Nuge lad, still winning night time Championship games live on Sky Sports with important goals

How can you forget?
>>66251382
As soons as that stadium popped up in Brighton they had a ticket to the Prem
>>66251479
I didn't. Nugent would be better than Rooney though.
>>66250260
People born in the early 90s would be shaped by their early footballing memories when Derby were a top half prem side
>Derbys achievements more than 15 years ago count for nothing
>Preston can go back to over 100 years ago and it can count
Fuck off you Dutch cunt
its not gonna happen is it lads
>>66251767
this has happened every single season under bruce and it's getting fucking annoying
the team completely switches off after the january transfer window
