    There is a bit of a contradiction there. If rules are being bent to help the bigger clubs then why close the door to promotion ?

    What does happen is the top 6 (at any time) will play in Europe and thus earn them extra money. Enough to keep them in that top group, which gives them European money which gets them into Europe etc etc..... That is where the closed shop exists. The so dalled Champion League. Same few as winners ever year.

    The rest of the PL should threaten to throw them out.  A closed league of around 6 would so lose it's appeal. They need the others more than the others need them. As it stands removing the top six from the PL and replacing them with the top six Championship clubs would see a far healthy game.  If there were no entry into the Champions league there would be no imbalance of income other than what stadium size, deft player trading etc would bring, as before.

    Any gardener will tell you, that you regularly have to prune bushes, shrubs, trees down to cut away the ugly growth. That time has come.

    Interesting take, the rules are being bent to help the bigger Clubs..... until they've positioned themselves to maximize profits,  Clubs like Sunderland, Derby and Sheffield Wednesday would generate greater profits for the Premiership than Bournemouth, Watford or ourselves, it's all about population density. 

    The Premiership has to keep the top six happy, they've tried to jump ship once, they'll try it again, count on it.

    If the Premiership 'threw them out' Sky and all the other major sponsors would be gone too, the money would leave the Premiership overnight and the mercenaries currently making a living at all the remaining Clubs would leave like rats from a sinking ship, so many Clubs could go to the wall financially it's hard to see how it would make for a 'healthier game'..... like I said,  conspiracy theorist.

    ..... conspiracy theorist here, the Premiership and their backers do not want small Clubs, with no money in their League. 

    Rule changes over the years have only served the biggest Clubs, VAR and refereeing decisions have reinforced that agenda, we've been victim to that on numerous occasions. 

    Everton have been 'bailed out' often from seemingly impossible positions,  Sheffield Utd were relegated despite their protests over West Ham's 'acquisition' of Tevez and Macherano mid season..... I wonder if it would have happened the other way around?

    I'm convinced that, eventually, the Premiership will shut the door on promotion and relegation, once they've 'acquired' the bigger Clubs to maximize sponsorship deals........ we are not invited to that party......

    .... always good to hold your hands up when beaten by a better side, Burnley are clearly the best in this League and are running away with it, good for them.

    Meanwhile, the most expensively assembled side,with the highest wage bill in League One, think that they have a devine right to win, notwithstanding their history.....

    You've got to earn the right to be top, create momentum, desire, work rate all the ingredients that Burnley have put together, we're not there yet but today might nudge us in the right direction....

    ....as Sweary says, it's all about momentum, considering we've underperformed points wise, the Teams currently in the play off places are easily within reach. Put a decent run together, even finish a strong 3rd and the momentum created could see another day out at Wembley.... never, ever, give up......

    Plus it does not help that about 98 percent of Ipswich fans 'banter' is just repeating

     

    "You have no trophies duhhhhhhhhhhh"

    Maybe I'm being a tad over optimistic but my hope is that, someone, sooner or later, may come over from the other side and have an honest discussion, without instantly resorting to the history books for a defence......

    I know they're out there somewhere..... Benjamin Bloom being an example

    I may be in a minority of one but I welcome Bluehope to the 'board. Nothing better than some rivalry,  friendly or not, it would be nice if it wasn't just about history.

    Also, as has been said, it's a pity that we're not allowed on the other side, banning those with an alternative opinion just creates an echo chamber that does nothing to put an honest spin on where both Clubs are.

    FWIW, we are better than them, have been for a dozen years or so, who was it who said 'the table doesn't lie '.....

    .... and who's going to finish higher again this Season?

    ..... always good value over there. Amazingly, after 3 seasons in Division 3, they still think that they have a divine right to beat every opponent,  based on their history alone, like that makes a difference. 

    It's looking like play offs for them now, although there are plenty of games still to be played, they've hit a sticky patch and the chasers are closing in.

    Here's hoping that they finish 7th 🙏

    Funny how it works out. Cantwell will probably get a move and end up tattooing his name on his forehead like Nile Ranger. Similarly he will end up playing 6th tier before he's 30.

    Sad really, you must question the people around him. I know it's down to him but surely his friends and family should have had a word long ago.

    Guy has deep problems and will probably be doing  Canary call in 5 years time.

     

    Villa however I don't understand why less of our fans hate thier guts.

    Lambert, Steer, unsettling Wessi, Emi and finally Smith.

    Horrible tin pot team playing in West ham's colours.

    Ron Saunders?...... maybe I'm a little older..... but just as bitter.
