I hope Ipswich come up, it's not a good look if the same three relegated teams come straight back up. Leicester, at the moment are a joke, Saints are a bit inconsistent and Leeds, I hate with a passion. Just a small correction 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asvaberg Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I would like to see WBA and Coventry back in PL, together with The Tractor Boys A) Hawthorns being the highest placed ground, geographicly, a "mountain-ground" and "Norwegish" B) I had the pleasure of visiting Highfield Road twice in the 70's. One of them was a 3-0 win over ManU and we were chased after the game by right wing ManU fans wearing nazi helmets. I was young and could run fast 😁 C) Ipswich was a regular on Norwegian TV live fotball in the 70-80's -Mick Mills and John Wark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueandproud Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Ipswich on the brink of promotion after yesterdays win, and I am very happy for them, they've been out of the Prem for so long, and I remember their great sides of the late '70's early '80's with Thijsssen, Muhren, Wark, Mariner et al. Don't mind WBA, Saints or Norwich coming back but if Leeds come back up, I hope we pay them back for that beating which was for me the beginning of the end for Tuchel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleased to see Ipswich back up, but don't want Leeds up and don't really want any of the others, purely because they've all so recently been in the PL, I always like to see a new team (or a team we haven't seen in the PL for a while) come up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipswich= great. Of the 4 to compete themselves, I hope for WBA, then Norwich. The two others, may the stay down, and preferably even more down next season 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisb Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I’m based at Ipswich train station so I’m not looking forward to when I’m at work for their home games next season! It’s been completely mad here since Saturday morning! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asvaberg Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Well ok, Saints are back in PL and congrats to them. Why there is a Trophy to the play off winner is very strange, though, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueandproud Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Well done Southampton, Leeds were very poor. The game was pretty poor as well, I haven't seen a great play=off final for a long time TBH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree...but somewhat torn....the idea of beating Leeds always feels good but against that I really don't want them around all season. Next question....who will stay up ?

Next question....who will stay up ? The law of averages suggests that at least one of the promoted teams will stay up, this season was a one-off, the only other time all three promoted teams went down from the Premier League was 1997-98. And here's another stat, since the three up three down system was brought in in 1973, never have the three relegated teams all come straight back up.

Sciatika Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 It's hard to say because we don't know where Leicester or Ipswich managers will be. All things being equal, if I had to guess, I think Ipswich might struggle but YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next question....who will stay up ? Leicester could be in strife if they both lose Maresca and cop a PSR points deduction to begin the season with. Otherwise he's probably a strong case all three could go straight back down. So many moving parts still remain though yet so the landscape could significantly change between now and season's start.

Those lovable scallys from liddypool have us way behind Leeds in their hierarchy of otherness all because they had a 10 year period where they won a few things. never been a fan of this 'back where we belong' nonsense that some fans romantically dole out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
