Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted March 25, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted March 25, 2019 Just keen to see Villa and Leeds back in the top flight sooner rather than later. With all due respect to the other teams we've seen Norwich, West Brom, Sheffield United, Middlesbrough play their little ping pong game enough times in the Premier League era. I'd much rather see big clubs come back up to where they belong as they have chance of actually establishing themselves and strengthening that mid table.

They're up 2 points on some that others have poster + have a game in hand. Shit form but the international break may do them wonders. They might not be the best team in the 3-6 spots, in fact, on paper they might be the worst. But I can see Pulis pulling a 1-0 1-1 home away masterclass and winning a dross final 1-0. Surely you can too if they make that position! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ Posted March 26, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted March 26, 2019 The same Pulis that played for a 0-0 at Villa in the 2nd leg last year even though they lost the first leg 0-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Norwich and Sheff Utd sadly for Top 2. I do not see them both slipping up from here. We'll stumble to third. Baggies will take fourth. A rejuvinated Villa 5th and Middlesbrough to edge out Derby in 6th. Preston would be my dark horses but they have to play Sheff Utd, us, West Brom all in a row, as well as Wednesday and Brentford so I think they'll drop points. Villa are 100% winning the playoffs, no doubt about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get it when people say clubs should be back where they belong. Clubs are where they belong because of the decisions they have made. I'd much rather see new teams come up than the same ones all the the time. There's no guarantee that a club like villa or Leeds would make the league stronger or that they would play good football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but there is no guarantee they would do anything in the league now. They would probably compete for 7th at best.

Some teams will always be competing for Europe and some for survival. It just means a different team will be doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't get the appeal of blatant yo-yo clubs, and even if Villa, Leeds and Newcastle are just as likely to yo-yo as Sheffield United, Fulham, Derby etc. they still bring more to the league just out of the size of their fanbase, the atmospheres in their stadia. For Leeds you've also got the Bielsa factor, and I'm sure most people would like to see him in the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smaller clubs tend to have very good fans alot of the time. For me it's about chearing the underdog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I remember Sean dyche didn't play bad football when Burnley were in the championship. He has to play defensive in the premier league. Bielsa would have to adapt if he was managing in the premier league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up and down?, last time we were a premier league side was 12 years ago!, Norwich were a premier league team in 2016 .. Also, Sheffield is a historic football city, about time one of the clubs were back in the big time, it's a nothing thing for the culture or city of Norwich.

Administrator Stan Posted April 19, 2019 Administrator Share Posted April 19, 2019 So after today's games, pretty much only down to Derby to get a playoff place. Sheff Utd must be loving life with Leeds' loss, unexpectedly. Norwich are obviously pretty much promoted. West Brom, Middlesbrough both won, Bristol City only drew. Villa won with Grealish and Abraham scoring again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
