Branston Pickle 4,149 Posted December 26, 2018 Neither of those games would particularly interest me. Interestingly there was a bit of a text debate on bbc match coverage of Villa v Leeds - a lot were saying they’d love to win the title but stay in the Champs; the main reason to want/get promotion is the money, it’s certainly not the competitive nature of the division. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never understand this view point and it lacks of ambition to me. Fans wanting to stay down a division and bully little teams - what’s the point? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wcorkcanary 4,784 Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) Yep, let's all play footy on a round pitch with no goals and quality players/ managers being evenly distributed between teams. That'd be fascinating. I really don't mind not being the best team in England,i just want us to compete.

The point is the Championship is much more competitive and the football more exciting/entertaining - today being a perfect example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You’ve missed and will miss some cracking entertainment this and every season then. Football makes the weekend and there’s nothing like watching a game live not knowing what will happen. It’s not just about the match either, the debate that comes after in the pub or at work the next day is all part of the magic of the beautiful game. I love NCFC and will watch them over anything, but there’s so much drama and entertainment to be had watching the PL or any league/cup game. A story to be told and more often than not more enjoyable than anything scripted on the tv Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
