Take a look at your first division from 2005/06.
Got it? Pic related, PL 05/06.
Take a look at it now. Does it surprise you?
Why not have a stab at predicting 2025/26 right now?
>>67466952
>Chelsea, United, Arsenal, Spurs in the top 5
It looks like all that has really changed at the top is Man City taking Liverpool's old spot.
Prediction for 2025/26:
1. Manchester United
2. Chelsea
3. Tottenham Hotspur
4. Arsenal
5. Manchester City
6. Liverpool
Conference 10 years ago. One of those teams will be in the championship next season
>>67466952
>tfw Charlton Athletic fan
4. Arsenal
>>67467038
Burton, is it?
>>67467034
> No Braintree United
> No Dublin Dons
You're clueless
>>67466952
My team (Karagrandy) took 4th, which would signal some tumultuous years to come until our championships in 11 and 12
>>67467034
>no AFC Wimbledon
>>67466952
>Arsenal
WENGER OUT
>>67467303

>>67467271
Which part of the steppes are you from, la
>>67467271
I wonder how Energetic they were to be relegated.
Do Arsenal always finish 4th?
>>67467022
That was does first top 5 finish in the premier league iirc
Was the lasagne-gate season too, should have been 4th
>>67467271
Didn't they almost beat Celtic?
>6 out of 10 are still there
>as of next season there'll be 2 Romandie teams again, with Lausanne coming back up
>YB still not winning shit
Not much has changed really. Except for a bunch more clubs getting into financial trouble.

>Altrincham getting stupidly lucky with other clubs collapsing and surviving 3 seasons is the relegation zone
>>67467379
it's weird to hear that teams are mismanaged in Switzerland honestly
I had the image or you guys being super transparent and having good owners
>>67466952
Why is Arsenal always 4th? How do we fix this shit /aspie/? Also post yfw they will lose the next match to become 4th again.
>>67467467
It's mostly the clubs in the French and Italian speaking parts. The German ones just tend to live on a really thin budget. Over the past decade and a half the following clubs have been relegated/ refused promotion at some point, due to bankruptcy
>Servette (twice)
>Lausanne Sport (who at least have sorted their shit out now)
>FC Lugano
>AC Bellinzona
>FC Biel-Bienne right now
Biel-Bienne are actually doing so bad, that they've had points deducted, had all their matches in the return leg of the season given as 0-0 draws, with both teams coming away with 0 points, have had their players strike and are having their licence revoked and will be forcibly relegated to the third division, which they probably would be anyway, because of the points deduction. And they have a former brothel owner in their board of directors.
>>67467379
That was the last second FCZ wins the league in Basel and massive chimpouts commenced season right?
>>67467271
This is some next level hipster shit
Not much difference. Top 4 nearly exactly the same, just swap AZ and Ajax. Most other clubs still there, only RBC went bankrupt and RKC, Sparta and NAC were in the 2nd tier this season. Sparta won the 2nd tier and is getting promoted and NAC is in playoffs for promotion so they might get back, RKC is trash though
>Huntelaar was top goalscorer
wew
>>67467271
Which part of Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan are you from lad?
>>67467644
Yeah. Then Basel got punished for failing to control their fans. And I guess not much has changed in that respect either.
>>67467592
this hits too close to home
here there's a fucking mess with the tier 2 teams, one got unrecognized by the FA and a tier 3 team cannot get into tier 2 because they can't pay the expenses, but they are forced to do it anyways, so the whole club will be unviable next season.
Although here there's a lot more corruption going on: the 3 big teams (Colo-Colo, Universidad de Chile and Universidad Católica) take all the decisions in the FA to make all the profit they can at the cost of risking the smaller teams

Nothing ever changed in swiss football.
We have one team that dominates the league with raw money until they go almost broke due to thinking this club must be the next Bayern Munich or Real Madrid (Basel and GC know that story) and become irrelevant and another team takes over...
Fans will always chimp out and some commentator will call it a big league on SRF2 kek

MLS Cup is the one that determines the league championship and all of the top 8 teams (out of 12) qualified for it. Now the ratios are a little less extreme, but a team that finishes in the lower half of the table can still win the title.

same as in bongland teams started here as social institutions where people gathered around to do different activities. "Gimnasia y Esgrima" literally means "Gymnastics and Fencing" which were two of the main activities both teams had back in the day, so they took their names from there. LP means La Plata, which is a big city and in fact Gimnasia y Esgrima is one of the oldest clubs of Argentina (fierce rivals with Estudiantes, also from la Plata). "J" Is for Jujuy, which is a small province in the northwest.
However, sometimes teams from small towns name themselves after reknowned teams from the capital cities as kind of an homage, that's why you have a team called Huracán (from Buenos Aires) and Huracán TA (Tres Arroyos, a small town)
